I don't think I'd be willing to change my entire life, off of something that was most likely a hallucination. Some people, upon awaking, can have visual and/or auditory hallucinations. I've woken up a dozen times, seeing a large spider crawling on the wall, and at first, I thought it was 100% real. I've also experienced sleep paralysis, but at the time I thought it was a dead loved one's presence, who had just died within the last few days. The room felt so 'charged' (turns out I was just scared out of my mind upon awaking suddenly in the middle of the night and paralyzed); I couldn't explain this 'presence' I felt. It wasn't a presence, I had symptoms of sleep paralysis.

Use your brain, and do some research. Don't jump to wild conclusions because this was a new, startling experience for you.

I mentioned earlier in my story, that the spirit pulled my leg (that's how i woke up form sleep). No one yelled at me and said: "get the fuck up", or I had a nightmare, then felt scared and tripped over my bed... I certainly didn't have a vision in a dream, as i was conscious when i saw the spirit in front of my eyes, moving around, gliding in the air, staring at me... well, at first he was right beside me, next to my face, then he took a few steps back, let us say that encounter duration was around 5 seconds, then he vanished.
