When I was 4 I used to sleep in my parents because I would have nightmares. Well I would lie there awake, and I would see this sparkly type substance slither along the ceiling. When I saw it, it really freaked me out but I had this feeling in me when it was present of being at peace. The thing actually approached a couple times. Sometimes their would be two of them. Does anybody have any idea what they could be?
That sounds like a night terror, which is a sleeping disturbance and not a paranormal phenomenon. Have you had any other odd experiences while sleeping, like sleepwalking, seizures, tremors or feeling you were frozen, paralyzed or held down forcably but an unseen force? If so you could have a undx'd sleep disorder. It's also possible that you had a sleeping disturbance connected to you neuro make-up when you were younger and grew out of it. Children with neurological conditions tend to be very senstive to stimuli they experience in the day that disturbs their sleep, and this commonly manifests in frequent, very odd or intense nightmares, but also erratic sleep patterns, bed wetting and othe sleep problems. When I was 5-7 I used to wake up in the middle of the night and think there where aliens staring at me through my bedroom windows!

Also do any of you believe in orbs? You know those weird spots you occasionally see in photos. They are said be the camerea's flash reflecting off a dust bunny or a dropplet of moisture. Do any of you beleive they could appiritions(sp?)?
I don't know what I think about orbs. As a norm I'm pretty sceptical of any alleged supernatural ro extraterrestrial phenomenon that cna be caught on any form of recroding equipment. All those things I suspect have a very mundane explanation, even if we lack the know of them.
Likewise I don't think "ghosts" per se are actually supernatural - just paranormal, in the sense that thet currently fall outside our highly subjective idea of what is normal. I prefer the idea that ghost represent residual energy of some form, but are not necessarily "spirituals". This could explain way geographical areas that has unique or unusual magnetic fields, like islands (and this includes England), tend to have a higher normal of alledged ghosts or other claims of paranormal phenomenon.
