When I was younger, I had an explicitly vivid dream that terrified me more than any other event in my entire life.
My dream:
I was asleep in my bedroom. I like to keep my room pitch dark and my door closed. I slept alone in my room. My house was near to two other houses and a small neighborhood 400m away. Though, mostly my house was isolated from others, because it was built somewhat in the flat of a ravine.
Here is what I remember. I woke up in the middle of the night with an intense fear that was beyond anything I could imagine. As I slowly opened my eyes, I felt as there were a presence in my room. My eyes were accustomed to the darkness, but I was facing the wall of my bed. I felt paralyzed with fear. Despite this paralysis, I willed as much as I could to turn over and see what I felt was watching me. Somehow, slowly, I turned over and I remember that my breathing was quickened. As I turned over I saw an alien that stood maybe four or five feet tall and its big black eyes. I do not remember any of the details really, except that I believe there might have been another alien there at the foot of my bed, behind this alien beside me. Upon witnessing this, my breathing became rapid and panicked and I blacked out. I woke up the next morning and I was terrified of remembering the realness of my dream.
Now, people might claim that my dream was a real event, but I have always been skeptical about UFOs and aliens. However, after this dream, I could not help but wonder what happened. Was it merely a dream? Was it something real? I do not know. What I do know though, is that it is and was one of the most defining moments of my life, because of how vivid my dream and fear were at the time. I don’t know what to conclude from this and it was a very long time ago. Was it just a dream? Or was the fear a reaction of something real?
Last month, nearly ten years later, I had another dream. I woke up in the middle of the night at my apartment with the same sense of fear. This time, willing myself out of sleep, I turned over and woke myself up, attempting to see an intruder at the foot of my bed. Nothing was there. I was awake. I woke up from this event, but the fear was the same feeling I had felt so long ago. Only, I saw nothing.
Tell me what happened? Because, I don’t know.
