This is a true story and it even though I really don't have an explanation for why it occurred it always lies in the back of my mind.
When I was 16 years old I went to bed one night not thinking about much of anything, except maybe the boy that I was lusting over or the report that was due the next day in science. I fell into a deep sleep at around 10:00. My dog was five years old and was sleeping at the end of my bed as he did everynight. All of a sudden I heard the dog start to growl and felt him edging his way up to the top of the bed. His hair was standing up and his teeth were barred, and growling like crazy. I tried to get him to calm down, and as I picked him up I looked to see what the problem was. I saw a vision of aboy standing at the end of my bed.
The dog jumped off the bed and ran down the hall barking and then came back and stood in the doorway to my room still growling and baring his teeth. I say that it was a vision because the boy did not have a body like ours. He was almost transparent. The strangest thing about the whole thing is that I didn't ever see his face. But I remember that he had a striped polo shirt on and was just standing there with his arms outstretched to me, as if he wanted me to go with him.
I didn't feel afraid, and was on my way to standing up from the bed, when my parents ran into the room asking what was wrong. As they came in, the vision disappeared. It is something that will live with me for the rest of my life. I'm not sure what the stranger's purpose was, maybe just to show me that there is someone always looking over me!
That isn't the end of the story, either! My dog would never go back into my bedroom. He never slept on my bed again and would just sit at the doorway and act nervous as if he was looking for something.
