The Force is Strong With This One
Hello,
I'm not sure if I've posted this in the correct forum?... My experience did not include 'Aliens' (in the overt sense) or UFO's, but was definitely an abduction scenario in my opinion, but I do not FULLY commit to this; as I'm aware of the possibility I could have dreamed-up the entire event. However, I cannot seem to reconcile this event as just another dream, albeit an extremely vivid one; something in my mind will just not let go of this event...
Background: Middle-class kid from North Texas, from about 7 yo. - 12 +yo.
No history of any major trauma, etc., an otherwise "normal" childhood.
Parents divorced when I was 2 yo., that's about the extent of my childhood 'trauma' (pretty mild).
I was well cared for, had/have a good network of family & friends, and experienced very little, if any, stress outside the norm of everyday life.
I've seen odd things at night since I was very young. Mostly shadow figures, or a type of black smoke/fog that moved in very peculiar ways and maybe the occasional ghostly figure/wisp. Also, I became (I guess?) somewhat proficient in lucid dreaming. I began by causing myself to float, then with practice elevate, and eventually fly around the world like superman. Interestingly, I developed this skill by 'popping' my ears (while asleep), and once proficient I would constantly be 'popping' my ears to affect my flight skills. All while developing lucid dream skills of flight/travel, combat, manifestation, etc. I would have recurring dreams. Over and over, the same scenario of me flying around fighting-off evil giant robots that were trying to destroy the world. I had the previous experiences in the years leading up to 'the event', but my lucid dreaming skills wore-off around about high-school (thanks to MaryJane probably), but I have had some other 'high strangeness' happen sporadically since.
'The Event' -
I was appx. 10-11 yo. (sorry I'm really bad with dates) and it was a typical late-summer evening I went to bed (not recalling anything out of the ordinary previously). After going to sleep, probably for some several hours (it felt), I suddenly awoke in what I perceived* as our side-yard area just outside my bedroom window. (*I say perceived because I couldn't actually see any familiar markers, I only saw the grass around my feet, but somehow KNEW I was standing in my side-yard?) My view upon awaking, as my eyes rose from my lower field of vision rose to my upper field:
Grass around my feet (extremely familiar feeling with the setting)
3-4 Individuals standing in a semi-circle in-front of me (only visible from about the thigh/knee downward)
The individuals were dressed as ...scientist? (shiny black shoes, black trousers, and I could make out the bottoms of what looked like white lab coats)
My upper field of vision was obstructed by some type of dome/helmet/toroid device that had been lowered over my head.
The device appeared white/opaque on the interior, and had a 'band' or sequence of multi-color lights that would flash around it in a circular/horizontal mode.
When the lights were 'activated' I would experience an extreme pain and intense sensation of heat in my head.
It did not take long of this for me to pass out from the pain.
I awoke (shortly, I guess?) afterwards with an excruciating headache I have never felt anything like before or since.
Also, the heat sensation remained for several hours upon waking.
My memory of the timeline is fuzzy, but I'm sure that either just before/during/after this event I was experiencing frequent nosebleeds.
That's it. No other perceived* (*that word again) effects or repeated instances.
As I said; I've seen some high-strangeness in my later years, but NOTHING has ever come close to 'The Event' in regards to a direct impact upon my psyche.
I've scoured abduction/UFO reports, and posted this story elsewhere, in an effort to find some correlation, connection, or similarity out there, but so far nothing yet...
Perhaps this was all just a bad dream of a child, but something DEEP within me cannot accept that for some reason? I have NEVER 'felt' a dream such as this, and I had some pretty darn vivid lucid dreams, this was not that. I do wish it were a dream; the implications of it being otherwise are pretty unsettling.
Anyhow, thanks for letting me share my experience. I do hope this network might be able to shed some light on my experience, but at the very least maybe my story will be of interest to others. Please feel free to ask any questions and I will do my best to answer.
