Hi Becky.
I just had to reply as you made me chuckle. It seems that the board is full of questions & nobody is answering.
I do not claim to be the best medium in the world & I still have a long way to go, but i have to relate to your dreams & situations.
A night terror, gosh they are really frightening arnt they, are actually astral catalepsy (the soul entering or leaving the body). This is when we (our souls) are travelling when the physical body is resting (sleeping). If you have a gift then it will get stronger the dream process i mean, you may even see your soul trying to leave the body, OBE's & you may even wake when the soul is entering back into the body & look down at your body and it will go into spasms, not often but it has happened to me. Also when you are dropping off you may get sensations when the soul is leaving of how do you desribe it, you dont, you will just know, it has scared me so much in the past aswell & sometimes still does, we are human and have an ego! Now i just try to let it ride or tell myself to get back in i need to sleep not play. I tend to know when i have been travelling now as i wake up knackered & have vivid dreams usually in colour. So remember it is nothing to be afriad of.
You might also want to do some research on crystal or indigo children with your little one.
You might also be fearing to much, hey we all do i am sorry say that, but when something out of the ordinary (what is ordinary) happens to us it gets a reaction and that at the beginning is usually fear, which is the worst thing you can do, you will block communication from them & your imagination will have a party.
When you sense spirit, talk to them, if you see them ask them what they want, if they are invading you, tell them to sod off in a very polite way. Easier said than done, but as you get stronger you will manage it better. It drove me nuts at the beginning & i had to go to a shrink as i thought i was going insane & sometimes i have to control that imagination of mine.
What is tricky with it all is learning how to stay grounded with it & trying to live your life like an ordinary person. But once those vibrations are lifting you will find yourself becoming frustrated with yourself as you are different because you are on a different wave band as such. You will find that your life changes and turns upside down, your friends change, you see people differently, colours are more vivid when completely open, your job may change, even sometimes your partner! The lists are endless with what happens, never mind the whoohooo stuff.
Relax enjoy and trust in yourself, know that you are always protected & in my eyes anyway, it may differ with others, nothing in the spirit world can harm you.. It can be damn right scary at first & still is, sorry i have to chuckle because there really is nothing to fear apart from our ego, but believe me i am still alive & kicking strong & so are many other amazing mediums out there in the world.
Let me put it in simpler terms, a medium is just gifted to be able to see what is already in front of our eyes & thats means everyone living on the earth plane including animals, have they been harmed?!? No.. What makes you think you are going to be harmed?!? Hence the fear, we fear because it is something out of the ordinary, so where the actual fear is coming from is the ego. hmm that wasnt so simple, but think about it.. Another gift you will get, you find it hard speaking normal english.. lol
Love.
