I was laying in bed one night when I was 7 (which seemed to be the peek of when I experienced paranormal phenomena) tossing and turning, completely unable to sleep. I rolled onto my stomach, covers half off my little body.
Just as I was beginning to doze off, I felt someone sitting on the end of my bed and heard it creaking. I assumed it was (again) my Mother coming to check on me like she frequently did.
I called out to her, but she never answered. I felt the pressure of what I assume to be a hand on my back. Then I could feel her leaning down next to my face. The soft voice was not that of my mother's.
"Are you ready?" She said. It as female, no doubt, but NOT Mom at all.
In fear I wretched the covers over my head, too afraid to move anymore and drifted off to sleep sometime later.
I asked my mother if it was her who had come into my room and said that, but she said no, then asked me what it said. I told her it asked me if I was ready. Ready for what we didn't know.
Sure enough the following Sunday... My Grandfather (who I was very close to) died in his sleep in his favorite arm chair. I never even got to say goodbye.
I guess my guardian angel was just trying to prepare and warn me.
As she sat on your bed, there was a closeness, more personal thought to the encounter. Regardless of the fact that she came to you in the middle of the night while you were supposed to be sleeping, she was gentle, spoke softly and right in the ear. (Do you recall which ear she whispered into?) The same way in which I wake my children in the morning if their internal alarms have not already gotten them out of bed.
I used to play "sleep greeter" with my son. I would sit on the edge of his bed, and rub his back until the thoughts that were swimming around in his head, preventing him from sleep, would slowly go away allowing him to relax. Most generally after a few minutes of the massage, his mind was calm enough for me to lay down beside him and cuddle him to sleep.
Is it possible that she were asking you if you were ready to stop tossing and turning and to drift off?
Thank you.
