Last night when I fell asleep I had this dream that I was walking around the local area at night. I came across a small gang of men and a woman who were talking to each other. As I approached them I somehow got talking to them and managed to have a decent friendly conversation with them. As I got talking to the woman she made a sexual advance and to be quite honest I was put off by her because I was getting some bad vibes from her. I got the urge to run because things began to suddenly turn nasty - the gang was angry with me for some unknown reason. Just as I was about to run, the guys grabbed me and the woman put her arms around my neck and started to strangle me. As I looked ahead I could see a man walking towards us in the distance and I tried to shout for help. I could not get a word out and as I was passing out I noticed this man was running towards us. That was it, I woke up, heart pounding and as I sat up in bed and put the light on I noticed this feint golden skull slowly opening and closing it's jaw in the centre of my mind. There were these other faint red-hellish shapes of stalagmites and stalactites surrounding this skull in the background. I knew it was some sort of mental imagery and I could not shake this feeling that something bad was influencing me, even surounding me at that moment in bed. I also had this prickly sensation all over my body. It took me about half a minute to shake the imagery away but I had this frightning feeling that I was somewhere very, well evil, just before I woke up. I did actually have the feeling that I had Astral Projected to one of those lower vibrational levels and what I was seeing in my mind was something left over from that place, like a residual energy.

What happened above was similar to an experience I had a few years ago, about the same time of year, when I was not sleeping properly. I had these golden curtains in my bedroom and I began to see these golden skeleton shapes within the patterns on the curtains (furry ones with dark and light patches). Some of them looked demonic with ridged edges and horns protuding from the skull shapes and they appeared to be moving somewhat - but I put that down to lack of sleep that night.

I wonder if these two things are related in some way.
