The night before last, I had a dream a guy was forcibly holding me down by my arms and I kept struggling to no avail. The next morning, of course I didn't suspect it to of been anything other than a dream, but when I looked at my arm below my wrist I noticed a bruise and when I pressed it just barely, it hurt. That sort of freaked me out and I looked at my other arm in literally the exact same place was another bruise. It's not as visible, but it definitely hurts just as much. The guy didn't particularly look strange at all. He just had short, blonde hair and seemed welcoming at first because I wasn't afraid until I randomly got shoved to the ground with him pinning my arms down.
So this isn't the first time I've woken up with weird bruises, but this is the first time I've dreamt of something like that and then woke up to find the bruises in the places that guy was holding.
I'm just wondering if it's possible for a spirit or entity to somehow enter my dreams and actually inflict marks on me through the dream. There's no way I accidentally did that the day before because I wasn't doing anything at all nor were the marks previously there. I got a sinking feeling when I noticed how they were in the same spot on both of my arms. I even recreated the dream and held my arm and it was definitely the thumbs.
I'd just like to hear if anyone knows if they indeed can enter dreams or if you've ever had any similar incident such as this where you've had a dream of getting attacked and then woke up to find bruises in the same spots.
I have photos of both of the bruises on my arms.
As you have received bruises, clearly *something* happened to you while you were asleep. While I am not disagreeing with your hypothesis, I'm going to suggest an alternate explanation as a note of caution. You were asleep when your arms were grabbed. Is it possible that your dream incorporated the real sensation of being restrained (even if it is a malicious spirit)?
I am not suggesting your event was perfectly natural, as Augusta and others have had similar experiences; I'm honestly expecting you to explain why my suggestion is wrong, thus giving us a more-precise sense of your traumatic experience.
