Did I have an experience?

Okay I’ve been holding out on you guys, unsure whether I wanted to talk about it ... because you know me, skeptic of everything.
I think this was a month or two ago, anyway I woke up suddenly one night with the distinct feeling of a presence in the room, like a person. Very much distinguishable from my cats.
I was facing the other direction, and for a few seconds I was too scared to move or look. Then for some reason I told myself “maybe it’s Loki” and felt so comforted and protected that I went right back to sleep.
I’m not sure whether to say I was dreaming, or if it was his first visit (probably not) or the first time I picked up on his visit. Even though I never actually saw him, I have this vivid image in my mind’s eye of his shadowy figure. It looked like he may have been wearing something medieval (but who knows in the dark), a feathery or fluffy vest, and had shaggy hair. Also I get the impression he may have had one hand on his hip in a sassy pose and was smiling or grinning.
Whether it was real or not I still thanked him for it, and apologized for falling asleep instead of staying awake to talk. It’s kind of neat regardless.

Honestly, this seems like a genuine experience to me in how you describe it. That *sense* of something first and foremost always distinguishes it, and then with time you will learn to trust in the rest you get (how you envisioned him) and it can become more of a direct and accurate experience.
There are many ways to begin to verify your encounters once you've reached this point and erase doubt; for instance next time you sense a visitation like this is happening try asking a simple question on something you're anticipating an answer to the next day but could not possibly know now (what is so-and-so going to be wearing, am I going to get mail, what's going to happen etc.) Be calm and see what response pops up; when you direct an inquiry of that nature to a spirit, deity or entity it is expected that the answer is granted directly by them and they are able to have knowledge we don't on account of their incorporeal being.
And certainly even if you weren't sure it is they providing an answer, if you're gauging accurate responses more often than not it would be a testament to your psychic sensitivity in development and bring you confidence at discerning other phenomena.
Just a tip as I know when many succeed in one step, it's not always easy to know what comes next, how to anchor the foundation or how to move that onward!

Yeah, I imagine having “conversations” but I don’t seem to come up with anything I couldn’t have dragged from my brain on my own. So far.

It sounds like an experience to me! Give it time. And try not to dissect it and decide on it logically. magick is NOT logical.

Definitely sounds like it.
There I gotta disagree. Imho it very much is logical, not human logical, but logical nonetheless. It can just be powered by emotions. But without the mind, the will, the guiding intellect, the energy would just be chaotic, unrestrained, all over the place and probably pretty useless in doing what one wants it to do.

The experiences and perception though, aren't necessarily logical. So there I totally agree not to pry it apart too much and over-analyse it with logic. You gotta learn to listen to your intuition too, which is not necessarily logical.

Chaotic, unrestrained and all over the place - that’s me!

You are talking about the difference between feminine and masculine magicks. The feminine IS based on emotions, intuition, pure essences and being. Masculine logic depends on the mind more. I can just BE and DO things, where a male has to have a logical framework. *shrugs* Can females be logical? yes. Do we HAVE to be to do magick? Nope. And that is earth-shattering, amazing magick.

Ya I had a similar experience were I thought someone was to my side but felt extremely hard to turn in that direction.
