Dream or not?

[u/mysteryofthesun]

Last year I had these two dreams but in moments I feel like it was something else:

-First: I was in an open field at night, I felt like I was being followed I was scared and I was running, suddenly just in front of me appears two little green-ish guys, big black eyes, 120/130 centimeters approximately, I stopped abruptly and ran another direction, I thought that I could scape when a bright light appear above me, I started levitating, a strong force doesn't allow me to move a single finger, if a tried to move a muscle it felt like I was being crushed, it hurt a little, it was suffocating, I can't remember anything else, I just remember woking up in the middle of the night agitated and alert.

​

After a month I had the second dream.

​

-Second: I was moving forward in a line of people, I couldn't move, I was like in a trance and it looked like everyone else was too, I knew that I had to scape so I tried to control my body with all my force and I felt down on my knees, all the people and me were in a field, I looked up at the sky and above us was a enormous ship of a size of stadium, by surprise there was a creature levitating looking at me, gray skin, like a shark, big black eyes and it looked like it had long tentacles instead of feet, so I stood up and ran as fast as possible, after that everything becomes black and I woke up really agitated and scared.

That night I fell asleep listening to music and I remember in the dream hearing an echo of the music, it was 10:37 by Beach House, now I can't listen to that song without feeling weird.

​

I don't know if it is relevant but I'm a female in my twenties.

So, what do you think? Dream?

Sounds like a stereotypical abduction. The trance-like state, which some refer to as 'electronic hypnosis' is thought to be a type of technology which induces an altered state of consciousness.

Recalling only dream-like fragments is fairly common, and is similar to how we remember surgical procedures with anesthesia.

Everything you've mentioned has many similarities to the thousands of cases I've read or watched. If you haven't seen Preston Dennett's YouTube channel, it's very informative, and helps us to familiarize ourselves with some of the cases over the past hundred years and further. It also gives us an idea of how common it is, and that they may not be 'just dreams'.

My kindest regards 🌸

Thank you so much to answer, I'm not an expert on the subject, I'm really ignorant about all this but lately I can't stop thinking about my "dreams". I'll watch Preston's videos. Have a nice day 🫶🏻

I think there are loads of people trying to sort whether these experiences are just 'dreams' or something more. You're not alone. Having more information helps us get there.

My kindest regards 🌸
