'Thing' shooting at me as I wake up at night...

Hay all,

Interesting experience this morning where I 'awoke' to this gun like object shooting what felt like radiation of some sort at me and I actually felt pain, or a sort of discomfort. At this point I got up out of bed hurriedly whilst this thing was Still zapping me from it's location above my bed. I stumbled along the ground into my hallway shouting expletives at the thing telling it to @@@@ off etc. It took a couple of moments for me to regain my sense of reality and when I looked into the bedroom the object was gone.

Now I forgot this actually happened till it came to me in a flashback whilst working today, and it startled me because it was quite a scary event! I found it strange that I forgot about it on waking.

What also is strange is that when I woke up to this thing shooting at me it was like waking reality mixed in with the dream world. The object was 'there' but not really a material thing as such. I find it disconcerting that I felt pain also when trying to get away from it. I'd say it took a total of about 10/15 seconds till the thing went away and I felt properly conscious again.

Any thoughts on my experience? I think it could have just been a spill over from a nightmare or something. I've noticed that when this has happened to me before, I forget about it in the morning but if I do remember it, I remember always saying at the time of the event that, it's real, it's real! What I mean by that I don't know! :lol:
 
Did you go back to sleep after this event? If you did or don't recall what happened after then it may have just been a dream. I've had dreams where I was shot or stabbed and I could feel the wound as if it were real until I reach to where it should be and feel nothing, then the pain mysteriously vanishes.
 
Yeah I went back to my bed, opened the blinds to let the street lights in ( I know bad for sleeping, but I feel 'safer') and fell asleep again. So it looks like it was probably a dream. It was so surreal though seeing this thing, appearing as if it was normal to be there and not out of place in waking reality. A part of me I've noticed wants it to be something other for some reason, a bit of a disturbing feeling really. And if it was something, the worst thing I can do to my understanding, is to feed it a curious attention, wanting you to notice it.

I find the experience of pain in dreams, rather disturbing and interesting at the same time. How is it that one can feel pain in a dream? Even if I don't know what it would feel like to be shot for example?
