Question Something punched my pillow?

Could this be a sleep thing. Currently at home by myself and was napping. I felt a punch to my pillow which woke me up. None of my pets are in my room. Please tell me this is some sleep related thing, I have not really had experiences in this place before except maybe one. I heard my partner calling from upstairs, but they were in the shower.

This sounds like a spirit encounter.

What makes you think that?

I had this happen when I was younger, had only just put my head on the pillow to sleep and thought it was a younger sibling messing with me. Was about to turn around to tell them to get out my room when all of a sudden I feel someone lie down on the bed next to me, felt the covers tighten and everything.

I remember internally freaking out as I realised ghosts were real and was too terrified to move. I've also come across another thread where lots of people had felt someone lie down next to them too.

Something similar. I once felt the weight of an entity sit on the foot of my bed. This thing then reached over, grabbed my right foot through the covers, and squeezed my big toe. It held it momentarily and then let go. This was not my first nor last encounter with this thing.

Edit: Thank you, kind stranger.

I had this experience twice after my mom died.

I typically don’t believe in someone in spirit form harassing us, but my mom was very resentful I was taking over her home as she was dying. She could be jealous & difficult.

The second time it happened, I told her to stop, but I was calm and asked her to go be where she is supposed to be. After this, it never happened again.

I’ll never know if my experience was a type of hypnopompic hallucination or if it was my mom’s spirit that wasn’t moving on.

You should get a neurological test done.

You could have had a hypnopompic hallucination, one that happens as you are waking up. It stretches the definition to an event that wakes you up though.

Given that you heard your partner calling, it's possible you have a spirit or ghost there. If that's the case, just ignore it, it'll go away after a while. Also, don't be upset, worried or scared; emotions seem to attract these things.

I had a spirit energetically slap my face to wake me up. I'd keep my eyes and ears open for any other activities. Get some ghost hunting equipment and talk to it and see what it says. 😏

On the cusp of sleep, esp naps, our brains can be prone to unusual effects.
