I have no clue one way or the other (and yes, I am a hard core Atheist), but I sure HOPE it's not true. I don't want dead people hanging out and watching me when I don't know. Fuck off ghosts. Talk about a violation of privacy.

And that's for you to choose to believe. The more open minded you are, the more experiences can happen, but when you close your mind shut; insisting it doesn't happen or assuming it is something logical overtakes everything else.

Why did you post this? What are you looking for? (Other than sleep apnea advice)

Having an open mind doesn't mean squat when you are trying to believe something that can't be proven. I can have an open mind that blue monkeys live inside the moon but that would be ridiculous.

The other night, Thanksgiving night, I dreamt I was in my bed (I was) and a woman walked in and up to me and gave me something. Then I woke up. The same night, I swear something big downstairs toppled over, a huge crash. Nothing was out of place the next day, nothing.

Things don't have to always make sense. There is a lot of unexplained, man doesn't have the ability to define every single phenomenon.

It's a little judgmental to say you are more open minded because you believe in ghosts.

I don't close my mind to anything. I am more agnostic than atheist, really, so I'll believe it if I see it, or see proof of it. when a religious nut asks me, I say atheist. that way they don't start spouting their organized religion cult shit to me.

Why did I post this? To see if anyone has any similar experiences. Just to "put it out there", I guess. I thought it was fucking weird, and it kind of rattled me. I told a co worker, and he just laughed. I don't understand why any time I ask questions about anything to do with the unexplainable, someone always seems to assume I'm looking for something to fill some void in my life, like answers to life's big mysteries or something, and they seem to get annoyed when they find out they don't have the answers they thought I was seeking.

I'm not. I'm really not that fucking deep.

It all can be explained by the brains lack of oxygen. Not ghosts.

Imagination defines quite a bit. A huge crash doesn't occur without something creating it...otherwise the sound would not exist.

edit...why wouldn't you have investigated at the moment you heard this huge crash? I would have been downstairs in a second to see what the hell was going on. Unless I was asleep and dreaming of course.

Don't go and twist words, wise ass. I said nothing judgmental. And I said nothing about ghosts. If one is closed off to the idea of possibilities, they like don't likely happen.

you said our dead loved ones visit us. I'm not judging your beliefs, as that very well might be true, but you did say that.

I wasn't twisting words. You're claiming that if you have an open mind, you will see ghosts or spirits. It's not difficult to see that.

The thought of my deceased grandma watching me have a bowel movement is disturbing.

They do, in our dreams, and Chadwick added elsewhere. Some people are more likely to understand than others. Don't knock what you don't understand. That is all I'm saying. By the way I am not religious, I am agnostic too.

Eating good cookies before bed make me sleep like a baby , and why is she on the couch if your the one making all the noise you should let her go to sleep 1st and then you !

she goes when I'm asleep. so she isn't giving me the choice. the other part of it is, I slept on an air matress in the basement for over 2 years because of it. then I got a snoreguard and moved back into our room. Then I lost weight and didn't need the thing anymore. Now I've gained it back and the problem has returned. she knows it sucks for me being on the couch, as I'm 6 feet and don't fit. she's 4'11" and fits easily, so it's not as much of a drag for her.

I hear you I'm on the other side of this she snores to high hell lucky we have a spare bedroom I'm always going there when she's cutting down redwood trees !

I'm having trouble reconciling your "nothing judgemental" phrase with the "don't knock what you don't understand" phrase.

Yeah, I can't really articulate it. Maybe Chadwick can do better.
