At Night or Before Sleep<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most common time by far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the house quiets, the child\u2019s mind relaxes, and external stimulation fades, internal awareness increases. This is when children report:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lights<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Figures<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A sense of presence<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gentle communication<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This does not mean something is \u201cvisiting\u201d in a literal sense \u2014 it means the child\u2019s awareness has shifted inward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2.
