What does this mean?

This didn't really happen to me recently but one time when I was praying about 3 or 4 years ago I was on my bed. I always try to pray from the heart to communicate with god and to pray for the things I need most in life if need to do better. But anyway after I got done praying I laid back on my bed with my back against the wall and about 5 to 10 minutes later I felt a double tap on shoulder. It felt so real as if someone a actually did it. This happened to me two or three times before that in my life as well. It's like an invisible hand that tapped me twice on the shoulder through the wall. What does this mean. Is it god answering my prayers . I know it's in the Bible somewhere but I kind of forgot what it said about it.and I'm 16 and a junior in high school now.

    If this happens as you fall asleep? It's just a dream. Sometimes as I wake in the middle of the night, Someone grabs my foot. It's part of waking up. !!

    So it didn't really happen, as you state in the beginning.

    So why post this as a question...

    It means that you're gullible to superstitious gibberish. Fortunately, you'll probably outgrow it.

    Physical and visual manifestations are common around the border between sleep and wakefulness because of how the brain reacts to the sleep cycle. This is why people have been told to pray right before they go to bed, because when they experience these dream-like manifestations, they will think it has some religious significance and then cede some of their power and personal will and freedom to those religions. It's a huge con and it's been going on for thousands of years.

    I suggest you google "hypnagogic hallucinations" and read the wiki about them. They're absolutely real, or at least they seem to be.

    The Lord is giving me this to tell you:

    There is a way that seems right to a man; but you are moving too fast. You must slow down because you missed it... the right path. I say, "This is the way; walk in it."

    Don't just do something. Sit there.

    Be still and know that I am God.

    Turn your brain off and listen with your heart. It is in the atrium... the inner courtyard of the building.... (your body) that you will meet with Him. From that place He will give you wise councel.

    Read His word - it is the only book that reads you back.

    I think it is God acknowledging he heard your prayer.

    That means that you are unable to tell the difference between fiction and reality.

    You don't know how to determine whether god exists or not.

    the heart is an organ that pumps blood around your body. it has no other function. it cant think, and if it ever did get upset over daft things. Then you will have a heart attack right away. I take it your on about your brain. Your brain has obviously played a trick on you
