Well, I can't believe I am here talking about this. Let me start out by saying despite all that I have experienced, I remain a skeptic. Whether this is denial for my own sanity or not...I try to push the paranormal element out of my mind. I pride myself in being a rational person that is in touch with reality. It has recently gotten harder to do though, let me begin my story with re-posting what I posted in the Sleep Paralysis thread:
I used to honestly think I was being abducted by aliens. I have suffered from sleep paralysis for more than 20 years...I am 26 years old. The most recent happened today while taking a nap. I have had sensations of flying, sensations of leaving my body and seeing myself from above, seeing my parents sleeping in their bed from above, I have seen embryo like figures in amniotic sacs floating above my head, beings at the end of my bed, I have seen colors and geometric shapes, experienced high pitched pulsating sounds, felt like my spine is being ripped out, like there is electricity flowing through me, you name it...if it is weird and F***ed up...I have experienced it...BUT I don't believe it is supernatural in nature. For my own sanity I feel that there has to be another explanation for it.
I have seen what I perceived to be a UFO, I was 11 and I remember it like yesterday, my sister was 8 and she remembers it as well. We were driving to my grandparents house for Easter, this occurred somewhere in the desert between Riverside, Ca and Phoenix, Arizona. It was quite large, hovering JUST BARELY above the Joshua trees. It followed our car for at least 15 minutes, gradually disapparating and reappearing.... I can't really put it into words. It was oblong in shape, approx. the size of a standard bus. It was gun metal in color, with blue lights that seemed to blink in a sequence. I cannot stress how obvious it was, absolutely impossible to ignore, my parents were looking RIGHT at it and COULD NOT SEE IT. I have never ever written this account down, I have only spoken about it with a handful of close friends. I don't know how to explain how me and my sister, although we were young, could see it plain as day and my parents could not.
So after all this has happened to me, like I said I remain a skeptic, but a dream that I recently had has really shook me and scared me more than any other experience that I have had.
In the early morning of July 23, 2011 I had a very strange dream. I awoke (well I thought I awoke) and felt compelled to look out my bedroom window, through the blinds the sky was empty then all of a sudden the entire night sky with lit up. There was a GIANT star or astronomical body of some sort filling every inch of the visible sky. I awoke AGAIN and the sky was normal, I hear a knock at my door. I go and open it and my dog gets loose (this is all still a dream...I wasn't really awake). I chase my dog into the apartment complex next door, retrieve her, and put her back inside. I am about to close the door behind me when I see a being in the sky. He was bird like, with mechanical wings, wearing a black spacesuit, his skin is white, his facial features %100 human, dark hair. He glides down to me and asks me if I got his message. I say, "What message?"...he says, "You will receive it soon then." He then kisses me and says, "Everything is going to be alright." He then descends back into the sky.
When I actually awoke in the morning, I felt so uneasy about this dream, I told my husband about it immediately. His face went white, he said "Are you F***ing Sh*tting me?!" I say, "I know it's weird, but why are you freaking out?" He points out the date, July 23, the day the Star Sirius is closest to Earth, I had NO knowledge of this. He points out that there have been accounts of people having this SAME dream with THE SAME SCENARIO for YEARS...all occurring on July 23rd. Most famously, the philosopher and author Robert Anton Wilson documented having a dream like this on July 23rd. All accounts have the same theme, dogs (Sirius is the Dog Star), visitors with packages and messages, or asking if their package/message has been received, strange astronomical activity, ect.
I don't know how to take this, has anyone else heard of this phenomena? Very hard to find other accounts online, but my husband assures me he has read and heard accounts of this.
