I live in Australia, I'm 16 years old and this happened yesterday and this morning (30/9/09-1/10/09). At around 11 p.m. on the 30th, I got woken up, but something was pulling on my hair. I went back to sleep at around 12 a.m., then at 5 in the morning, I had a funny dream where a dark figure was standing behind me, then all of a sudden it grabs me from behind.
I woke up at this point to find that I was being pinned down to my bed by an invisible force, and it was holding something over my mouth so I couldn't talk or move. Then it loosened its grip on my face and started to squeeze my body. It hurt a lot. So at that point I started to tell whatever it was to go away. Even though I was scared and in pain, I kept that up for at least five minuets until it finally let go. But it wouldn't let me go to sleep after that because every time I closed my eyes it would push on my chest and wake me up.
I'm scared to sleep tonight, but if it happens again I don't know what to do. Does anybody know of any protection against evil spirits or old hags because I don't want this my whole life? I have had things happen before to me, but none of them have ever hurt me.
