Ok, I 've been keeping this  a secret for years. But I believe I've been sleeping with a ghost for years. How do I know this? Well, I sleep in a double-bed, so every time I try to spread myself in the middle of the bed, I will have a big nightmare. Sometimes the ghost look like those in the movie Scream, sometimes I dream about death of a loved one or of my dog, or that I haven't handed news on deadline. So I sleep on the right, and everytime I cross the boundaries and as much as put my body on the left, I would have one big nightmare. It used to be pretty scary, and everytime that happened I would knock on my parents door. Now that they are travelling, I just talk to the ghost. I give it a prep talk. I say, "Hey, I am going to sleep here," and I will put my pillow in the middle, "and you sleep there, and don't bother me, okay?"

Sometimes, I can't control myself so I would accidentally put a foot on the other side, and of course the same thing happens. Big ghost nightmare. It became such a normal thing, that I wasn't afraid of ghosts anymore.

Then yesterday, something happened.

I decided that the ghost must've gone to heaven now that it's been five years. So I slept in the middle. I had a bad dream that my mother was scolding me for something and telling me not to do that. She was going to hit me with an object. I woke up, and became aware that I had locked my own neck with my arms. Never was I afraid of the ghost before until yesterday. I just lie awake for a long time and wonder what was the ghost's motivation. Was the other side of the bed, her lover's side of the bed? Was the ghost's lover cheating on her with another women? I could not be sure.

At the moment, I think I will just sleep on the right side. But if it tried to strangle me again I might just have to to to a ghost doctor.
