Strange Encounters

I'm hoping someone can help me understand what I experienced. These things occurred about two months ago.

The first experience happened in the morning. I was in my room and I saw a presence sitting by my bed. It was very blurry, and it reminded me of a cloud. That presence held my hand and said, "You smell good." It felt warm and comforting. Then I snapped out of the trance (I guess that's what it was?) and I became fully conscious. I still have troubled wondering if this was a dream or if it really happened. Something in my gut is telling me that it wasn't a dream. It felt too real to be a dream.

The next experience also happened in the morning. I've been trying to figure out if this was a dream or not, too. If it WAS a dream, it seemed too real. Again, I was in my room. I looked to the right of me and I saw an attractive guy standing there, staring at me. He had a huge grin on his face and said, "HI!" He seemed really happy and enthusiastic to see me. I freaked out and went into my grandmother's room to ask her about the mysterious young man. She was really calm as she told me, "Don't worry. He's just your guardian." Said guardian just stood off to the side and continuing grinning at me.

Last experience: I was sleeping when I awoke to a horrible feeling. It felt like my neck was being stretched apart from my body. Then I saw an image of a noose flash through my mind and the feeling went away.

So, I need help deciding whether the first two dreams weren't really dreams at all. If they weren't dreams, then what do you all think the presence that I saw in the first experience was? Also, was that really my guardian in the second experience? If so, how can I see him again? I'd like to talk to him. He seemed very nice. I'd also like to see/feel that presence that held my hand again. I liked how it felt. And, for the last experience, was that a spirit trying to communicate with me or something?

I find these experiences quite fascinating and I'd love to hear your advice/input. Thank you. ^_^
