My Night Visitors

       I was very unease for no reason before I went to bed—I watched some episodes of my favorite TV series and I meditated for a little while—I turned off the lights and tried in vane to fall asleep. Eventually, I was successful in my attempt, despite I was between awaken and asleep stage constantly.

       At one moment, while my body lies on the bed, facing the wall, I can hear other soldiers’ doors opening and closing most of the night. I knew my door was locked, so I stopped paying attention to the noise of doors opening and closing and forced myself to sleep.

Time passed and then I felt the presence of someone in the room but I ignored it, thinking it must be just my imagination. At no point I felt scare or unease any more, I felt at peace. Suddenly during this stage of peace, I felt like someone sat on my bed behind my back, while I was facing the wall. I felt curious of my night visitor, so I decided to turn toward who ever was this presence.

My room was barely light up by the red light of the smoke detector. I saw this man, dressing in green camouflage sitting at the edge of my bed. I extend my arm to touch it, thinking I was in a dream. I was not able to see the face of this man but as I extend my arm toward him, he grabbed my hand with his hand and put it toward his chest and then he leaned over me and kissed my forehead, like a father would do to a daughter.

I don’t remember if he said anything to me—after the kiss, I look down by my feet and saw the face of a female like she was light up from the inside out, observing us. I woke up thinking it was my late uncle Tomas.

All day long, I was thinking about this vivid dream. I ended up with a mega headache right in top of my crown—felt my head opening and closing, I even came in the afternoon to my room and laid in the dark to ease my pain but felt this one more intense, while the sensation of pain in top of my head felt going upward in circles. I never saw the face of my night visitor but for sure, despite the headache, the experience was worthwhile.
