Am I Being Haunted?

My name is Beccii and I am 16 years old. I believe that I am being followed by a spirit but I have no proof and I need to know.

I've had a couple of paranormal experiences in my life such as strange voices seemingly in a foreign language but, since around summer last year, I have had experiences that are really starting to scare me.

It all started with a dream but, it wasn't like a dream, it was so real it was like I was awake witnessing the events. In my dream, everything in my room was exactly the same as reality, even my brother was sleeping in the same position I had seen him in. I saw a little boy sitting on my bed and then my brother walked over and he turned into almost a ball of smoke with visible facial features and I started to feel suffocated. I couldn't catch my breath and I was urging myself to wake up until I finally did and found myself gasping to breath. My brother was still in his bed as he had been when I fell asleep.

I thought about the dream and decided that it could be an imaginary friend I had when I was a toddler I called Devon. I asked my dad what kind of things I used to say about Devon as I have heard that small children are sensitive to the paranormal. He said that the way I used to talk about Devon was strange, that I'd talk as if he were a real person.

This intrigued me and I had many thoughts about trying to contact the spirit, however I knew it was dangerous. My curiosity got the better of me though, and me and my boyfriend lit a candle in my hallway where we felt most intimidated. The light of the candle lit up on of the doors in a strange way and we asked some questions. The candle seemed to blow towards the side violently for no and bounce a little for yes (whether we were reading too much into it I do not know). However, if what we interpreted was correct, the boy said that he was Devon and that he had died, he said that their was an evil spirit in the house and that it was a girl and he was scared of her. After a while I started to feel very uneasy and ran for the light, but when I looked at my boyfriend, I could see in his eyes that it wasn't him, his eyes looked angry and cold, he was looking at me as if he had a deep hate for me. After a few minutes he sprawled out on the chair, let out a shout and he seemed to be himself again.

A few months later I had another dream. As in the last dream, everything in my room was the same to the last detail. In this dream there was a girl with long brown hair sitting cross legged facing my mirror, then a little boy crawled out from under the bed and I saw the girl close up and she was frightening. Again I saw the ball of smoke and became suffocated and again when I finally forced myself to wake up, I was gasping for air.

I have had a few dreams about the boy and girl, the boy always under the bed but they are frighteningly real. My body runs cols with fear, I shiver, I suffocate. I sometimes think I have waken, only to open my eyes and find out that I had dreamed that too.

A few other strange happenings are: just a general feeling of being watched/followed and strange, well, hallucinations if you like of smoke like figures.

The most recent happening was only a few days ago. There is a spot right next to my sofa which my hamster stares at when you turn on the light after they have been in the dark and he will not stop staring no matter what you do for a good matter of time, as if he is watching something, this scared me because I heard that animals are sensitive to the paranormal. Anyway, the other day, my boyfriend has always said that whatever is in my house or whatever is with me doesn't like him, he can just feel it. He was sitting by the sofa right by the spot my hamster cannot take his eyes from and suddenly he let out shout of pain. I turned on the light and asked what was wrong as he had just been sitting, he hadn't moved. He said that he had just felt a pain on his finger as if something had bitten him and when we looked at his finger he had a cut, not severe but too deep to be a paper cut or anything of that sort.

I know you do not deal with dreams but these are not just dreams they are paranormal experiences within a dream and I need answers, I don't know what else to do. Please help.
