   Hi, I just happened to read a book about psychic self defense by   
   Robert Bruce which I found in the library.   
   He reckons there are entities feeding on dreamers at night. He says   
   their main food is fear, thats why they are so scary.   
   He also recommends a lot of counter-measures.   
   They hate water, light, sound, salt and the smell of garlic.   
   So you could place bowls of water under your bed, sleep in a circle   
   of salt, put salt under your sheets or mattress, place sliced garlic   
   around the room or even rub garlic oil under your feet. You can   
   leave the light on and sleep with your eyes covered or play soft   
   music or leave the TV on a low volume.   
   Ah yes, and sacred symbols like pentagrams and crosses and circles   
   are supposed to repel them as well.   
   The best defense however is supposed to be awareness, a strong   
   disciplined mind and fearlessness.   
      
   wish you good luck and I would be curious if it works
