Funny you should say, I have expeirenced sleep paralysis a couple of times, the first was last year I woke up in absolute agony I when I tried to shout or get up I could not move, in the end I went back to sleep woke up a little later with nothing to suggest the pain I thought I had been in, even went to the docs where I was given an all clear. The second was a few days ago I woke up and could see a man in plate armor (like the old jousting knights stood looking out my window, I could not move or speak.

I have heard people say they think that passed pets are about but I just find it weird that things happen now after over a year.

I believe 100% that they do come back and visit us.

He's always been about; only now you are ready to sense the signs.
It's wonderful that you had such a bond that he wants his precense felt. Don't question it, enjoy it and thank him.:smt001

I truely believe they stay with us , i can often "smell" my mums perfume ,and many times i've "felt" a presence my daughter who keeps cats ,lost her billy ,about 3 years ago but swears she still "feels " him jump on her bed ,and swears she's often seen him washing at the top of the stairs ,a favorite place of his ,so no your not loseing it ,just being visited by a dog you loved well and who loved you in return .

your post has made me weepy!!!

Well if your are all nutters so am I. I swear Max use to come back in the beginning and stand beside the bed just as I was dozing off or waking up and I use to hear his claws tapping the skirting boards like he did when he was running in his sleep.
As I came to terms with his loss he seemd to come less and less but I sometimes feel he is around and just checking all is ok.
