The mind can trick you into thinking pretty much anything. It's more than capable of making you think something pulled your leg. To me, that isn't anything special or any further evidence. And that is if your memory of the event is event accurate; every time you access a memory it changes a little bit.

I mean, consider what happens when you are asleep. Your mind fools you into thinking you're in some bizarre, crazy situation every time you have a dream. Also, when you're in the transition between dreaming and waking up, it's very easy for your brain to carry things over so they appear to be real for a little while. I can personally attest to that. Since both dreaming and waking are things happening mostly in bed, I think this addresses what you said about the bible too. The fact that strange occurrences are written in the bible gives them no more weight than any other claims. The language used in the bible seems to suggest that people at that time put massive stock in dreams having significance, and if someone had a dream but said it was a vision, a prophecy or God talking to them, people simply accepted it. It doesn't mean it really was what they claimed. People were very superstitious back then, even more so than now.
