Astral Entity?

It was in the afternoon of New Year's Eve, and anticipating a long night, I decided to take a nap. I was staying on a boat, so went down to my cabin for a siesta. I awoke about 4pm, went to the bathroom, turned on the main cabin lights and lay back down to muse and "wind up" for the night ahead.

As I lay on my back, something, - I know not what - drew my attention to the side of the bed, about level with my knees. My first thought was "it must be a cat" then "that's stupid there isn't a cat on board." Before I could consider other possibilities, the mattress at the side of my knees depressed, as if a weight had been placed there. Full of curiosity, I glanced down to see what it was - nothing at all was visible. I decided to remain perfectly still and keep alert.

I then sensed this "thing" moving upward over the left side of my body - if one could feel shadows, then that is how I would have to describe it. There was a slight sense of pressure as it passed slowly upwards and as it passed my uncovered left hand there was a sense of coolness too. I was wide awake and taking careful mental note of all this and the thought occurred that it was as if someone in another dimension was brushing past me.

Then "it" got to my head and entered, again from the left, making a strange mewling/chattering kind of noise. As it moved across, inside my head, I became paralysed, the cabin lights dimmed and my visual field narrowed. At this point I started to get worried but, still lucid, thought "I wonder if this is like having a stroke?"

The feeling of pressure in my head, plus other sensations, made me determined not to lose consciousness and I concentrated hard on what I could still see of the cabin - mentally talking myself through each area still in my visual field of vision. Within seconds my head cleared, my vision returned to normal and I was once again mobile. I beamed a question up to heaven - "What was that?" Sadly I got no answer, so decided to go straight away and relate this episode to my family.

Now it so happened that the next day I was with some friends who were spiritual healers and one of them said that it sounded as though a lower astral entity had tried to "take over". Oddly enough, although she didn't know it, there had been found, alongside the boat, just five days previously - a corpse of a drowned man. Perhaps his spirit hadn't realised his death and, finding me handy had fancied being a woman!

This is just one possible explanation and with my friends help we did a healing ceremony to send this spirit onto the light. My thanks also to Jeff/Grizzly Bear for his help too - his advice was acted upon as well.

I must add that at no time was there a chill or sense of threat or aggression. I would be very interested to hear of similar accounts, as a friend told me that she, too, had experienced the pressure-on-the-mattress-like foot steps on two occasions. She didn't become paralysed, but when she tried to hit out at what she thought was an intruder (she was in the dark) - she could only move in slow motion.
