I gurantee you that your experiences are no more special than anyone else's throughout history.

Interesting.... Others call it an astral rape--the feeling that an entity of some sort is raping you (hence the crushing feeling) at your most vulnerable state of physical and mental being...
I'm not a believer, but supernatural/ghost stories are always entertaining to listen to.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
