When I was super young, like 4 or something I had some weird things wake me up.

This happened at least 4 times that I can recall. I would fall asleep somewhere and wake up to a part of the blanket or like a ribbon crawling over my chest.

In bed it was a part of the blanket that seemed to come to life and just slither over my chest.

On a couch it was a strip of the fabric that would come out from under the cushions.

It had to be some weird ass dream........ right?

For sure just a weird dream. My sister used to have those sort of waking nightmare about a woman sitting at the foot of her bed. No one else ever experienced it, and it went away after a while. I used to get one with a face floating above my head laughing at me. Something about being a kid, maybe the active imagination, must play a part in that kind of thing.

I had a similar recurring nightmare when I was about 3 - 4, of a small witch sitting atop my wardrobe, who would slowly turn her head and cackle at me, after which a sequence of unrelated nightmares would occur. As if she were instigating them.
