Very rare to suffer nightmares mate and got minimum stress in life. Not the best of sleepers though tbh.

Not really a believer in paranormal sheeite as I've still yet to see any conclusive proof either for myself or with the myriad of technology available to people today.
Had a weird one last week though as was fishing Merringtons and during the night I felt like someone.was pulling my hand and it woke me with a startle whilst preparing to kick off and defend myself. As I sat up though I noticed that I had a bit of a dead hand so put it down to that, I woke up with a bit of a cold sweat as well so went back to sleep after I'd checked my gear and the bivvy door was up so thought it was just a bad dream coupled with a lack of circulation.
That was about 2.00am and about half hour later I heard my mate , in the next swim, shout "get the f#@# off me...he shouted this twice so I grabbed the negotiator 'baseball bat ' and ran to his peg.
He was sitting up in his bivvy whilst I scanned around with a head torch ready to leather someone and I asked him what was wrong.
He said that he felt like someone was grabbing his bag and pulling it over his head and he felt stuck in his bag. He also said he had a bad dream and we put it down to that, as his bivvy door was also done up.

I didnt have the heart to tell him my story as he looked shook up as it was. I did blag a brew off him though and went back to bed....I admit to sleeping with one eye open and the 'negotiator' tucked up with me
I told him the next day and we laughed about it and just put it down to sleeping poorly as it was lashing down with gusty winds and was difficult to sleep anyway.
