I am still skeptical, but it seems I had a ghost here in my apartment.
Here is a condensed but complete version of what happened here this past week, how I "cleared the ghost" , and why, I have to believe, I feel SO MUCH BETTER, why I slept well for two nights for the first time in weeks, with no vivid dreams, no difficulty telling waking from sleeping as was the case for the past several weeks... and no breathing sounds at night, no cold blasts, no more fleeting images out the corner of my eye...

Ghost Clearing - Short Version[/b][/u]
First off, some consideration should be given to the person who lives where the ghost is, because it just may all be part of the way it happened. Two people had lived here between myself and the tenant whom I suspect was here in spirit, messing my life up, and they didn't seem to have any visitors from other worlds.
As I was told, and seems reasonable, the spirit would want to be with living people who are like they were when they were alive. He may have been here because I am here, and in fact I may have been pushed here by the forces of the universe to help him.
On that note, I firmly believe we should treat them gently. I see advise about being stern and so on, which I eventually had to do, but it seems essential that the spirit trusts the one trying to get them to leave. I told him - Alex was his name in life - that people trust me, I allways try to be helpfull and positive in all my relations, and that the expert who was helping me was a very kind and trustworth person. This is all quite true, by the way, and if clearing are not working for some people, it just might be THEM as much as the spirit that is the problem
Okay, sorry to take so long, the rest is simple - when I brought up the subject that I was not well because of a ghost being here, Debbie, my expert helper, merely suggested that "Cedar can be helpfull" and waited for me to enquire further before saying more. All the others jumped up and down and said "oooo, let ME, let ME, I will come and clear your ghost". See? They wanted to be the hero, their motivations were wrong, especially for me, I like to do things myself.
Debbie is, possibly without even knowing it, very wise.
Then after I expressed interest in what she had to say, she told me all I needed to know -
* Open the doors and windows to let him out;
* Cedar will bother the ghost so he will not like it here, but
* Use Sweetgrass smudges on yourself to protect yourself, and then
* Burn Sage to keep it away, and
* Light a white candle before you start with the clearing and let it burn all away in it's own time; you might want to do that more than once over the coming days.
* And TALK to the ghost, tell it how it is bothering you, how it isn't right for the dead to be interfering with the living even though he may be lonely it will be better if he crosses over, he has to cross over, it is SO BEAUTIFULL on the other side, you should go Alex, cross over"
The exact words are not important.
She came back the next day and said things like that while standing in my bedroom, that is where most of the disturbances had been taking place, and at one point all the hairs on my legs stood up and I had goosebumps and then Debbie looked up and said "Did you feel that" with a wry smile on her face.
Then she left. She said if I find anything that might belong to Alex, take it to the creek out back and bury it in the bottom and do a tobacco offering.
Now, this is mostly Native wisdom, as in the plants and so on. For me, Native culture is right, I have benefitted a lot from that wisdom. For you, maybe something else.

So thats it. Anyone else have experiences with Ghosts?

Back when I could astral project, there used to be a deceased spirit that would occasionally "haunt" me. At first I thought it was trying to attack me but then I realized it was in a way looking for help. Then one day I encountered it in a lucid dream while it was in a jovial form...like a free spirited blob of energy. Jennifer was it's name. I sang some songs to her and she sang back to me. There was a strange love between us..me and this little glob of energy.
Then jennifer revealed a dark secret to me- suddenly I was going through her experience many years ago- a sickening and terrifying theme filled the dream. It was midnight and there was a soul piercing scream, and I saw a red car with two teenagers in it swerve over a bridge and fall into a stream. Suddenly I became this person- jennifer- I was in the car..panicking, screaming, absolutely terrified....I was in so much shock and fear...and I felt so cold. So very cold...then I realized the unthinkable: I'm DEAD! I then was looking at jennifer- an attractive young woman were it not for the fact that she was blue, freezing cold, and zombified. I grabbed her tightly and told her with commanding yet loving authority "YOU'RE DEAD! YOU'RE DEAD!" Even I began crying as I held her strongly and forced her to accept the painful truth. She was kicking and screaming and could not accept it..the trauma was so intense she did not realize it...she was crying and crying and somehow my love for her finally made her accept it...
Then, her spirit directly entered my body and I let out a soul stirring crescendo of pure emotion...it was her energy leaving this realm, saying goodbye to everyone and everything she knew. I "sang" her over to the other side. Really, she was quite alone and it was sad that I, a total stranger, was giving her a proper farewell. I felt I did her a major major service and gave her a parting worthy of an Empress. It was the most beautiful thing I ever sung in a dream. I hope she appreciated it.
She never again bothered me after that.

Wow, thats powerfull stuff Michael.
Your story opened my eyes to another possibility too, my visitor could be one of two young people who died near hear in the past couple years... because I was having a lot of very vivid dreams with young guys like those two in the dreams, but none of my dreams were about the guy who used to live in this apartment [who I assumed was "haunting" me].
What we seem to know for sure is that some people have difficulty accepting they are dead... and that we do them, and everyone, ourselves included, a big favor by helping to coax them to the other side.
They say these ghosts tend to come to people who have the gift of "empathy" - dictionary: "experiencing the feelings, thoughts, or attitudes of another."
I had to look it up, I thought it meant helpfull types, like sympathy, but it doesn't... but that too is likely attractive to ghosts.
You must be like that to not freak out and push them away in your dream. Actually, the two dead young men were real shitheads, messed up, violent, not likeable, drunkards, and if they came to me in dreams, I would run - in the dreams they had knives, and I ran.
Other dreams were different though - dreaming I was dreaming that I heard breathing in my dreams, and I woke up, but was I awake or just back to dream #1, then I heard the breathing again, it came towards my room, it came in, around the bed, I wasn't afraid, it was ok somehow. AND THEN IT CRAWLED INTO BED AND WENT TO SLEEP.
I could not tell if I was awake or dreaming half the day, because I kept nodding off.
It had gotten too weird. Thats when my old friend Debbie showed up, out of the blue...
We just cannot pretend to know everything about our world.
Thank you so much for the reply
