When i was 4 i had a nightmare, obviously I can't remember it, but my parents have told me that i was going on about a soldier, I had a high fever so i was checked out and I had pheumonia.

When I was nine I had another soldier nightmare, and this one I remember as if it happened recently. I floated up to a dark corner in my bedroom, when I looked down I could see my 4 month old brother sleeping in his coth beneath me, I looked across i could see the wardrobe, on front of that there was a soldier at the end of my bed in which, when I looked, I could see myself lying there slightly crouched up. This was more than a dream. I could touch the ceiling and actually feel it with my fingers.

The light out in the hallway began to pull me towards it somehow and as I tried to fight being dragged along the ceiling towards the light the soldier fired a shot at me in my bed. As I tried to fight being pulled along the ceiling the bullet seemed to travel in slow motion and just as i was about to reach the light the bullet hit the other me lying in my bed. In this dream the bullet had hit me in left side of my chest. I awoke in pain coughing up blood and i was bleeding from where the bullet had hit me in my dream but there was no mark on my skin. I was brought to hospital. The doctor asked me what happened, I told him I was shot by a soldier (I was only 9) and that i had pheumonia. I remember when i had arrived to the hospital, the docs cheeks where rosey red. After getting the test results his face had turned pale, he must have just eaten breakfast too, he still had a bit of egg on his chin. He pulled my dad aside but I could hear what he was saying. He confirmed I had pheumonia and that the outer lining of my left lung was ripped and about halfway down was a small hole equivelent to the size of a bullet hole. I stayed in hospital for 8 days. I remember talking to a nurse who was convinced that i actually had an out of body experience. The next time something would happen was when i was 15.

For some strange reason i was expecting something to happen when i was 15, I could feel it. One night that june, all i could think of was that soldier, I had a sharp pain in the left side of my chest, and iI was sweating seriously even though I felt cold, I didn't sleep that night and i was sick for about 8 days after that night.

There was a pattern, it started when i was 4 then again 5 years later and again 6 years after that, so therefore i was definately expecting something 7 years after that, which would bring me to when i was 22. But maybe having not slept, the last time round, I had changed things somehow. First of all, it started early, about 3 months before my 22nd birthday. In the month of febuary i had 3 very strong nose bleeds as if like someone had turned on a tap, blood just poured out of my nose and as soon as i pinched my nose it stopped bleeding. This was very strange and each time it happened i had a feeling like a sensation that it was to do with the soldier.

This happened again in march and april, 3 of these nose bleeds in 3 concecutive months. I also thought that if i got to the end of august i'll be fine. Nothing happened between may and august, But in september there were 3 more of these nose bleeds.

The next round of events so to speak would bring me to the year of my 30th birthday, The febuary of that year i had 3 more of these strange nose bleeds. That may, the month of my birthday, i was staying with a friend. I got up one night from my sleep to use the bathroom. Later I dreamt that iIwent to the bathroom again, and in this dream, the soldier was in the bathroom as if he was standing on guard like he was watching out for something to happen. The next thing I remember about this dream was that I was lying in a room with 5 figures standing over me, I couldnt make them out, my vision was blurry. However, I could tell that one of these figures was wearing a uniform, a different uniform than what the soldieer wore and this man in uniform was doing something to my left arm.

When i got up in the morning, I told my friend of my strange dream, that i got up to use the bathroom once during the night and dreamt i got up a second time and so on, and my friend told me that I did actually get up twice during the night, I was convinced the second time was only a dream, but then I noticed that I had a bruise on my left arm where it had been touched in my dream, and I also had a huge bruise on my body which I could not account for. Surely I would remember doing something that would cause a bruise like that on my body but I had no idea how it got there.

What happened to me that night? Aparantly I did get up twice, where did I go the second time?, Was my dream something that was actually happening?, I have told my story to a number of people, 1 person who analyses dreams believes that the soldier is like a guardian angel, When i was nine it wasn't my time to die so the soldier shooting me was to bring me back to life during an out of body experience.

Whatever is happening to me, I need to do something before the next time something happens, if I died once I could die again because of this. 2013 is when it is due to happen again and I am not looking forward to it. But what can I do? How can i protect myself?

Thank you so much for your reply, you have given me hope that I can defeat this evil and survive past 2013, hopfully it will end and go no further. I like to believe that this soldier is on my side, but I will remain weary of him. I was completely fearful of 2013, but thanks to you I know that all is not lost. I have faith, strong enough to see me through, I just hope and pray that I myself am strong enough to get through what I know is coming. I am scared, If I don't make it I know since I saw the light when I was nine that my soul will go to the right place.

There are other things that I haven't included in my origonal post, Possibly I am having encounters with the spirit world. I have talked to poeple where when I turn away and turn back they are nowhere to be seen. I have had conversations when it has been proved that I have been alone, and also heard a whisper that called my name over a period of a year, it's been over a year since I last heard this whisper. Anyway 2013 is still a few years away, Hopefully I can strngthen between now and then.  Again Thank you for your help.
