As a child I often had two visitors at my bedside. One I belive was my mother who died when I was a year old and the other was an old native american man. I'm not sure if they stopped visiting or I just stopped seeing them.

Well, I do know that while growing older people tend to forget how, or loose the ability to perceive extraplanar phenomena.

I would try to revisit the memory from those encounters and ask myself, how did it make me feel? Scared, calm, at peace, terror etc...

I'm not quite versed at those things but some relaxation before going to bed would never hurt I think, it might at best in the long run allow you to have such an event again if that is what you are aiming for.

If I may? There's a smallish gland in the forebrain called the pineal, now ancient philosophers thought this to be the third eye. Curiously though in a child the gland's about the size of a small plum but at approx age 10 it not only shrinks down to the size of a dried pea, but it develops a shell and the gland's purpose is to produce the chemical melotonin

I was never scared. Growing up I always saw people walking by out of the corners of my eye. I grew up thinking this was normal. Once I moved out of my parents house I stopped seeing them all the time.
