Sleepwalking

This past week I had a most unusual experience happen at about 2am. I was getting ready to go to bed and was sitting at the foot of the bed when the door suddenly opened without anyone knocking first. In came Ravi's 17 year old son, Krishav, he just walked past me with his eyes open, but in a daze and laid down perpendicular at the head of my full size bed with his back to my pillow. He didn't say a word as I tried to talk to him, but he just laid down and went to sleep. His bedroom is just across the hall from mine, but for some unknown reason he was now sleeping in my bed. I decided to let him sleep and see just how long it would be before he woke up. I had just been reading on my laptop about the power of prayer of a missionary in Africa that had experienced an incredible lifesaving miracle. So I took this situation to heart regarding what had just happened in my room. So I prayed over Krishav as I laid my hand on his leg that God would make Himself real to him and that it would change his life forever. I prayed the same thing. again over his whole family. After couple hours I felt I need to get him up, but he refused to move, and I didn't want to get more forceful, so I went to get his parent but his dad is the same way when it comes to waking him up, so I nudge Sanjeeta leg to gently wake her up, but there was very little light in their room, and she was unsure why I was in their bedroom at about 4 in the morning.I told her I needed her to come with me to see something. When we got to my room she was surprised to see her son in my bed and I told her he had been there a couple hours. She laughed at the sight and then tried to wake him up. When we finally did he was surprised to see himself in my bed and struggled to make his way back to his bedroom. I realized he had been sleepwalking and ended up in my bed. My mother had told me many times that she had found my dad outside for no reason and led him back into the house, because of sleepwalking. The next morning I saw them both in the kitchen and said that he had been sleepwalking. He said he didn't remember any of it and that it was the first time it had ever happened. I then shared my dad's experiences.I think this also happened with my daughter when she was very young. There are many other people who have had this happen to them, but they usually don't remember the experience other than someone else who helped them. I don't believe it has ever happened to me, but I am glad I took the opportunity to pray for him and I only wish I had taken a picture of him on my bed.
