Am I Mad? Options

Hi everyone

This has been a bit of a weird one.

For the past couple of months I have started developing a bizarre fear of the dark. It has steadily been getting worse and now I have to sleep with the light on at night.

Things started to get weird last week with me waking up at exactly 3:00am every night with my body spasming. My body has also experienced weird spasms on occassion when I´m lying in bed, but not at other times. Also on one occasion when lying in bed I felt something punch my knee from under my bed through the mattress. I wasn´t really sure if I was imagining stuff or whether it was real. Until tonight.

I felt more agitated then normal and but apart from that everything was normal, although I was not tired. Suddenly I felt a huge amount of terror, and something under the bed starting punching my leg with a regular rhythm. I know this sounds a bit cheesy, but there was also a sound that started as a low moan but got louder and higher in pitch until it was almost a roar. My visualisation abilities are rubbish, but I did kind of make out the outline of shapes in the room.

I hurredly did an impromptu version of the LBRP and the problems stopped. I even felt the mattress and bed sinking back down. However, I thought could just about see 2 very thin figures at the bottom of my bed.

I know I have a vivid imagination, but I think actually feeling the punches was a bit more than I could imagine. I have been doing a lot of pathworking, especially with the Qaballah recently, and have felt my abilities improve very rapidly in the past week, but I don´t know if there is any connection there.

Anyone got any ideas of what it is and what I can do?

Thanks.

I should add that since then 2 scratches about 7-8cm long appeared the next morning where my leg was punched. I´ve done a clearing around the flat and nothing happenned last night thankfully, but it still bugs me a bit.

Thanks for the advice Vagrant dreamer. I´m following exactly what you reccomend
