First before I get into the main story - when I was 11 years old I was trying to fall asleep one night and just simply couldn't. I rolled over to my side, facing the window, and saw something poking out from the side of my bed. I starred at it for a while and then saw eyes. And then it went underneath my bed and I was VERY VERY scared. I didn't move for the rest of the night and that morning when I woke up I literally jumped from my bed to my bedroom door. I want to know what that thing is...

Now onto the main story. This Friday I spent the night at a friends house - a girl I've only known for about a year, who was born 2 days after me in the same hospital and is about the same height as me and gets annoying because we're waaaay too much alike. It was around midnight when we decided to turn the lights off but had to keep the TV on because we're both scared of the dark. When I was little I heard and saw things. When she was little she was alone in a hospital bed. We have every reason to be. Moving on lol...So I ask her why she was scared of the dark and we started talking about things like the above story - She said she had seen that too when she was 11 years old. No yes there's always room to be skeptical but we had just come back from her Baptist Chruch Youth Rally (everyone heard me call the pastor a bigot lol) and I hardly told her anything about my experience before she freaked out about hers. So that was the first thing we shared.

Then that brought on talking about dreams. I've been having odd dreams about some Egyptian man and she said she had had one dream like that as well, but the Egyptian man with the turquoise had been with the God Horus was flying above. Then I mentioned another dream that has been kind of going on since 2005 but there are different parts. The first part in 2005 is I'm being chased and running through, up and down towers. Then there are a few more I don't remember very well but I just know it was the same place and then recently I've had dreams with Andrea and my fiance in them and I usually wake up feeling worried or sad.

My friend said she had had dreams like that too and told me what I looked like and I told her what she looked like in the dreams. She also brought up the tree that I dreamt about last week. There was a tree - the biggest of three - in the middle of a forest and there was some kind of portal like thing in the middle of it that she jumped in and I screamed after her. I vaguely remember how I felt when she came back out of the portal - I felt somewhat empty. It was only until yesterday researching I learned about the Irish otherworld and how certain trees could do exactly what that tree did.

Other things in the "dreams" that we remember besides people that I've always felt very very close to - felt like I've always known them when I didn't - is how things looked. There was one large river in our town and a broken bridge (which is part of a dream my old friend had back around when these dreams started - we were going to start a comic or something about it because the rest of the dream was somewhat comical - especially the bard who she remember was "Mia's" dad...etc). There was also an island with a gray stoned tower. The forest with the trees was located in the middle and all the trees besides the three were covered in snakes (not native to Ireland duh some people told me that refers to pagans or something). I did some searching and found pictures here of an town in Ireland called Trim that although it does not match the description perfectly I think that is exactly where we were. I however cannot find anything about the royalty in the town, even though there is a HUUUUUGE castle there.

Trim has a "twin" city in France, and there was a lot of visiting france in our dream-selfs childhoods. There was also a lot of conflict between our people - we were princesses of course - who wouldn't want to be a princess? The other big part of the dream with a lot of symbolism happened right after she came back out of the tree. There was an apple in the middle of the circle of trees and it broke - like shattered - and inside was a key. The key unlocked a building that had always been locked as far as anyone could remember. We gathered our people into the building and stood together at the front. There was a large bowl filled with water, and we put our hands in and grabbed diamonds and other gems from the bottom of it. When all the jewels were gone a blinding light shot out from the jar and all the stained-glass windows (that featured different kinds of flowers) broke - except the large on in the back of the building which had a sword going into a rose. When the light went away there was a dagger on the floor. I'm forgetting to mention that both of us had different things. She had a dagger with snakes entwined on it and I had a matching necklace. They were both gold and had rubies in them - a stone we both hated when we were younger. So this dagger was on the floor and it was like her dagger and my necklace stuck together and instead of rubies there were diamonds, opals and emeralds. All of the sudden all our people start clapping and shaking hands and everyone is united again. Cheesy but yeah....

I'm wondering first off again if anyone knows a good deal about Irish fairies and stuff. And if anyone knows a good deal about snakes, the otherworld, ect. Trim is named for some Irish phrase that means "ford of alder trees" which, when I looked, alder trees are one of the trees that can take you to the otherworld. I'm not saying right off that I completely believe everything, I'm just interested in learning WHY I'm sharing dreams with another person and what these dreams are telling me - did I really have a past life or is this some kind of warning.

Thanks in advance!

First , relax . I don't think this is a warning , at least not a serious one .
You're lucky to have this much of a link with your friend , and at least shareing dreams and experiences gives you someone to talk to about it .

What did the eyes of this thing look like ?

Snakes seem to be a huge symbol in this . The meaning is effected by the way you feel about snakes . If they are something that frightens you , the sheer ammount could symbolise the little fears all around .
But from what I can tell , it seems to be a quest for knowlage and peace . There are many royal symbols but I'd need to know more to really desypher anything else . Hope this helps

They were just really big and shiny. Didn't get too good of a look before it went away...
My friend described the eyes as big too, and said it had little ears and was kind of furry.
I have told my fiance about it and he says he saw something like that when he was younger - around 7 - but figured it was nothing to worry about...

It's nothin to worry about I just wondered if I could recognise it I'm getting a blank for the moment but I'll tell you if I think of anything .

Ok thank you! I'm still doing research myself but there isn't much online that I can find so meh...

Sounds like an astral projection type dream

Really? I've actually have problems with astral projection right now...like uncontrolled - coming out of my body without even trying every few nights. I've never actually been able to do it on purpose but one time I came close and heard someone talking so I freaked out and fell back in. Idk if this could be related at all though...that's pretty interesting.

I've been hurting in various places lately, and the girl I shared the dreams with has been hurting in the same places too, around the same time as me. Whether she's lying or not is kind of hard to figure out, but I'm wondering if that could have anything to do with anything either....hmmmm

Anyone else have some ideas about this? Please? *bats eyes*

Yea I'm the same, I've never been able to induce AP but when it's happened it has of it's own accord. it does sound the most likely scenario, that both of you are sharing this dream world on an astral level...
