I wanted to answer a few questions that were submitted to my story. I really am grateful that some of you have given me some ideas on what I might have witnessed because it has bothered me.
To explain a little bit about our bedroom; our room is very lit up due to the neighbors house right outside our windows. We also keep the house some what lit for our two toddlers. We still have plenty of shadows, but for the most part I can usually see everything around me.
The Black Dog woke me. I think I might had rolled over to be closer to my husband and that's when I saw him. It is very hard for me to explain, but I feel things before I see them. I didn't wake because of a noise or smell, in fact when I started screaming my husband had to wake me to get me to stop. This only tells me that I some how saw him in my sleep. This method is very common for me.
Most of my visions come to me in my sleep. It's actually a hassle because I never get a deep sleep because spirits are always waking me. My husband did not see it, and was pretty shaken by it. He wonders why it was face to face with him. Another thing that has me wondering about it is that I have two dogs. One is outside at all times and the other one stays in the house for the most part.
If this is a 'ghost dog', then why haven't my dogs reacted? However, the interesting thing about this night, my dog had slept outside... It makes things a bit on the curious side! I've had many spirits touch me, but this event was the first time I touched a spirit. It has me a bit shaken.

When I was around 10-11 years old my family was going through an extremely rough patch. My parents were breaking up and life really wasn't a happy time for anyone.
I remember the last night my parents were together a terrible fight broke out. Pots were thrown, screams and cries echoed through the house and what seemed like the longest night of my life at the time had settled in. I walked into the room that my parents were fighting in crying and begging them to stop, they did and after some cuddles and stuff we all went to bed.
The next morning I remember it was a bright day, sunlight streaming through the window that sat in front of my bunk bed which was shared by myself and my older sister.
Anyway I woke up alone I believe my sister was asleep at the time as she didn't see what I saw, but as my head raised I looked to my left towards the window. Standing not 30cm from my face was the face of a big black wold like dog with glowing red eyes. We stared at each other for a good 5 seconds or so before I got too scared and shoved my face down into my pillow wishing for it leave me.
At the time it scared the shiat out of me. However the more I look in to it the less scared I become. I relate myself to a dog quite a bit too... I used to pretend to be a dog heaps when I was younger, dogs are my favorite animals and as a furry I act as a dog (yes yes flame or whatever, get over it).
The black dog with red eyes and firey breath has been listed throughout the world in folklore tales, mythology, spiritual beliefes and reports. Generally it's related to death, either cerberus the guard of the underworld, or the hound of baskavilles or Anubis the egyptian god. (or satan if you speak to christians... /sigh) and it may very well do but then it may also represent a death. Maybe not a physical death.
The night before I saw the dog was the last night my parents were together. Ever since I has been fascinated with the origin of sighting. I'm not sure what all of this is worth, but I'd love to know if more people have seen this dog or know more about it.
I'll end with this: I am reminded by this quote I once heard (not sure where from), but it seems to ring true in so many terms.
"That which we fear as a child, we find comfort in as we grow older."
