I have had now a few events (attacks?) while awake since I have started praying every day (in about two months). Twice on my right forearm and once around my neck and shoulders. Last one, I was just sitting at the pc doing my usual browsing and my arm started burning/itching (again) sorta ignored it and just rubbed it until done with my pc sitting but, when I actually looked at it, it was tiny razor thin scratch marks in random patterns. 0o, same with what my neck and shoulders did but, with neck shoulders there were two very pronounced side by side streaks about 4 inches long (along with many smaller ones around my neck). Another thing happened twice, while praying and asking to be warded by the blood of Jesus (protection prayer) I suddenly felt cold "drops" enough that I looked up to see if my roof was leaking or something, was like a delicate spray of water hitting portions of my exposed skin. Yes, attacks happen, I almost never have fluff and sparkle dreams, always nightmarish ones that disturb me at times but, use to them and am not afraid of it, sometimes I do this thing where I will realize I am dreaming while still dreaming and be able to make the nonsense quit with a thought. Has one where a bloody crazed eyed head kept chasing my around in it then suddenly, I had one of those realizations, turned and stood my ground and when the head got close I reached down and grabbed it by the hair and kicked it like a ball and off it went. heh. stupid stuff like that. I always pray and invoke Jesus as my lord and savior when I wake up and my heart is still pounding from a dream like that and fall back to sleep quickly and in peace. TBH though, the head one left me amused, the way it went flying and "scampered" away from me once I confronted it like that, seemed cartoonish.
