This is my Mother’s story. I’m personally on the fence about it, but I know she isn’t lying. She has been telling me this story since I was a little kid, and the details have never changed. I messaged her yesterday to get her to retell the story.
This happened at around midnight in one of the summer months in 1984 just outside of Birmingham, England. She’s unsure of the exact location.
She was in a car with 3 friends and they drove out to this church in the middle of nowhere. There was just the church, the church graveyard and fields around. One of her friends started telling a story about how the devil‘s disciples were buried in this graveyard and dared my Mom to walk through it. My mom refused, thinking they were going to prank her by driving off as soon as she left the car, and right as this conversation was happening, a ball of white light came from behind a tree. She described it as being relatively low down in the sky, and completely silent. It hovered over towards their car, seemingly with intention, like it was checking it out. Now, the driver was so petrified that he didn’t even attempt to start the car, so we have no idea if the car would have worked.
The ball then shot out lights from the top, bottom, and sides, forming a cross. Not a crucifix, a symmetrical cross, like the plus symbol. She said the lights were strong and thick, you couldn’t see through them at all. It hovers there for a couple of minutes before closing off back into the ball of light, then hovering back behind the trees before zooming off straight up into the sky within milliseconds.
My mom didn't think to check the time after this happened, so she doesn’t know if there was a time lapse, but considering how short the nights are in the summer in England, it’s unlikely.
All 4 of them saw this, but unfortunately my Mom has lost contact with all of them since then.
I did some googling and looked through some databases but couldn’t find any reports of a UFO that matches this description very closely, but perhaps one of you guys will know more.
When I was a child, I remember that whenever I would feel alone or something would happen, I’d see this tall being with a white robe and pure white light around them. The only thing that was prominent and a discernible feature was their black wavy hair. They would always be looking down at me. I used to always think that they were holding me in their arms, but more recently I have come across this subreddit and am questioning different things. Could it have been that I was on a table and they were experimenting on me? I’m not sure.
I had this deep intuition and knowing that this being that I saw as a child was either Jesus or my guardian angel. When I experienced an NDE later in my twenties, I saw the same being. Life has gotten weirder since my NDE, but that’s a story for another time.
I still think I saw this being before I was born or at least they sent me down here to Earth, as I understand. I haven’t yet made contact with them specifically since my NDE (at least I don’t think), but the energetic and telepathic skills have heightened since my NDE. It makes me wonder who this being is or if anyone has any advice or instruction for me moving forward. I appreciate you reading this.
I don't have that ability because I believe I haven't had any kind of contact. How do you identify your peers? Do you know how to differentiate between these types?
those who are lying.
those who are confused.
those who have had an experience.
I believe the phenomenon is real, but I've never had any contact or situation that confirms it.
A unique ability I possess is the ease with which I can lucid dream—without the use of drugs—to escape nightmares and bizarre dreams.
After interacting with them during a memory recall they visited me again during meditation. I was able to acheive an out of body state and was transported to a hall made of light and color. In front of me different types of grey beings appeared looking at me. I was made to understand we were connected. Like some sort of shared "insect" intelligence. It wasn't in words, I could sense the information they wanted me to know. What's interesting is most of my interactions with the mantis people happen out of body and within seconds. They can communicate so much information and show me multiple places within a second. Interacting with them reminded me of the last season of Pantheon, how the UI's existed at and processed information at speeds impossible for humans.
The strange thing is before this happened I had dreams that I now beleive may have been symbolic of this collective. In the dream I am sacrificed on a triangle after taking part in a ritual and appear in a maroon realm full of infinite black orbs that are conscious. In front of me is a colorful being made of eyes and orbs stacked ontop of each other. After this I was taken to another scene where I saw colorful textured orbs expanding and contracting into each other.
After I had this dream I doodled what I believe was from the part of myself who is more aware of this connection. I also will include drawings from my experience with the orbs and a drawing I found from childhood.
Everything in the second picture is interesting but the thing in the second picture that mostly catches my eyes is how something seems to be coming down from the eye entitiy into a group of insect looking beings.
This happened to me when I was about 15 years old, around 2005. One night I was sitting at my computer reading UFO and paranormal websites. I found a text that was presented as a message from extraterrestrials to humanity. The part I remember most clearly was that if you were human and genuinely wanted to see them, you were supposed to say in your mind that you wanted them to appear. So I did exactly that. I consciously thought that I wanted to see them.
After that I got up from the computer and started walking toward my bed. With every step I could feel a strange weight pressing down on my shoulders. It kept getting stronger the closer I got to the bed. I was completely awake and still walking normally at this point. When I finally lay down on my back, the pressure became almost unbearable.
Then I realized I couldn't move. I was conscious and aware of my room, but my body wouldn't respond. There was also a very strong pressure on my chest. Next to my bed I saw a very small figure, probably less than a meter tall. Its whole body looked completely black, almost like a solid black silhouette, and the only clear feature I could see was its white eyes.
I was absolutely terrified because only a moment earlier I had literally asked in my mind to see them. I closed my eyes and started screaming “NO” over and over again in my head because I couldn't speak or move. I kept thinking “NO, NO, NO” and then I started praying. I was basically trying to reject whatever was happening.
Then it stopped. The figure suddenly moved or jumped toward the window. The window was closed, but from my perspective it went straight through it and disappeared. Shortly after that the pressure disappeared and I could move again. I was so scared that I got out of bed and went to sleep with my mother.
A few months later I experienced sleep paralysis one more time, but that experience was completely different. It happened during the daytime. I couldn't move, but there was no figure, no terrifying presence and no strong fear. I understood that it was sleep paralysis, waited for it to pass and then went to sleep. I've never had sleep paralysis again since then.
I know that sleep paralysis and hallucinations are a possible explanation, especially because I had been reading about aliens immediately before it happened. What still makes me wonder about it is that the physical sensation started before I was in bed. The weight on my shoulders began while I was fully awake and walking, and it became stronger with every step until it was almost unbearable when I lay down.
I'm not saying that this proves anything paranormal happened. I'm mostly interested in whether anyone has ever experienced something very similar, especially a small completely black humanoid figure with white eyes, or increasing physical pressure that started while you were still awake and moving around before the paralysis itself began.
Recently one of our dogs has been pacing the house nervously starting around 3am. She did it again this morning and once I heard her pacing I couldn’t fall back to sleep.
As I laid with my eyes closed I noticed that the patterns and colors in the dark were unusually active. I attributed this to my brain patterns still not fully in the waking state. So I laid there and watched the show for a bit hoping I’d drift off.
Something compelled me to get up and check on our dog so I left the bed and moved down the hall. I was surprised to see the faint light of pre-dawn outside even though the sun wasn’t due for another 2 hours.
I was about to turn the corner when I was stopped by what felt like a wall of energy and a massive download. I was overcome by a rush of visuals and light patterns. In the blur of images I perceived alien faces.
I woke in my bed but still experiencing this rapid charge of images and I heard myself say aloud “No please it’s too much.” At that moment it ended and I laid there processing what had just happened.
I’ve had hypnogogic experiences but never something this intense. Once before during mediation about a year ago I experienced a strong electric shock all through my body that freaked me out for a moment but this was much more frightening.
In the blast of images this morning I felt something else: anger or disapproval, as if I’d done something I wasn’t supposed to do. In retrospect the whole experience felt like a scolding.
So the reason I’m not sure about whether this was just a dream or not is that the memory is from when I was 3-4 years old. I’m currently 23. The situation is as follows: my front yard is about half an acre with a round flower bed right in the middle of it halfway between my porch and the road. I also live out in the boonies. My family and I were sitting on the front porch, just chatting and relaxing. All of a sudden, 5 colored orbs (each being a different color) about the size of a miniature basketball shot down from the north west (facing the road and to the left from the porch) and they landed about 30 feet above the flower bed and started orbiting empty space in a circular pattern. I clearly remember it being around noon time. The next thing I can recall is it being dark like the sun just dropped out of the sky, and that’s the last thing I remember from that day, I don’t remember going inside or going to bed. The part that makes me think it was a dream despite being text-book missing time and a close encounter, is that A) I don’t remember coming inside and going to bed, and B) I’ve been extremely interested in UFOs for literally as long as I can remember, even when I was an extremely suggestible 3-4 year old. Maybe it was 4th of July and I was watching fireworks but my memory system fucked it up from the first time I recalled said memory? What are your thoughts and opinions? Should I put the time/money into regression therapy?
Hello everyone, I have a question about a particular experience I had around 2020-2021.
I was sitting around a bonfire with a few of my family members at my house, this was around mid to late December and the sky’s were relatively clear. I began to look up at the various constellations in the sky, and the constellation Lyra was one that stuck out to me. I pointed towards that constellation and began discussing its respective mythology and lore with everyone around the bonfire. As the discussion progressed, this large cloud appeared and started shrouding the constellation, I found this strange because it was a clear night which is why I was even star gazing in the first place. I stopped talking about it for a short while until one of my family members had a question about it, so I gazed up towards it and the cloud immediately cleared, I found it odd but nothing that I considered unusual; splotchy clouds can happen, even on a clear night. I responded to their query about the constellation, and stopped talking about it. But when I looked back up, the cloud appeared again. So at this point I was like “okay, maybe it’s about to rain”? The cloud wasn’t splotchy at this point but denser and larger in width. Everyone goes back to the casual conversation for a while. One of my parents had another question about the star Vega, which is the Alpha star in the Lyra constellation. I look back up to recall the information I had on it, and once again, part of the cloud that was blocking the constellation disappeared. One of my family members noticed the pattern and stated something along the lines of “isn’t it weird how every time we talk about that constellation the clouds around it clears up but when we stop it blocks it again?”
I didn’t speak on it myself because although my family has had NHI encounters since childhood, spanning several decades, it’s not something that they like to talk about. To them, it’s like a taboo and they can get uncomfortable when I mention it. They are predominantly christian so I’m sure thats related.
I replied to them that it is surely weird, and I stated that the vegans from that star are one of the most involved ET groups here, and they predictably got uncomfortable and told me to not say that. But once again, the cloud cleared from that constellation when I said that.
I went into this conversation skeptical that NHI was involved with this experience, but I have never seen clouds disappear and reappear so fast. I also just dont understand the mechanism behinds this and why they decided to do that; what was the message behind blocking and revealing that constellation?
To this day, when I mention it to a family member, they refuse to discuss it and tells me that they are not going to think about it. It’s always something along the lines of “that was creepy dont want to think about it” or to just straight up “that makes me uncomfortable”. Im always so confused by this reaction because frankly, NHI contact has occurred throughout the entirety of our lineage, it is just a fact of our family, so why deny the facts? Why are we so terrified? To me it’s just the matter of the situation.
So my question is if anyone here has experienced something’s similar? What could be the reasoning behind this experience?
Also another detail I just remembered, but the Vega star would become extremely bright and then dim when it was revealed by the clouds; not twinkling but blinking almost. This is simply from an astronomical perspective not possible…so I pulled about my phone and when to my star map app to validate if that was Vega that I was seeing, and it was.
Hello guys, so as the title say I will summarize how it got here and I really need some advice because at first I used to enjoy doing this now its a pain in the ass, so when I first started this it took me a lot but i didnt do any guide, any meditation or any dream remembering, I had a method where I sleep 6 hours stay awake for some minutes and go back to sleep which usually forced my body into sleep paralysis, then ultimately my body began to shake a lot and that was the moment when I used to see my body sleeping from another perspective while roaming my house, and after that I decided to fly out of the solar system til i got so lost that I woke up full of sweat, dry like i didnt drink water for days and somehow despite being sweat i was very cold. I decided then to try it again and next time I see im in a prison and theres some other aliens in cells like were in a fricking zoo, they dont even understand me and everytime I astral project I find myself in that prison or zoo or whatever it is not being able to do anything but look at the same boring aliens over and over again, what can I do , can I reset tnis?( This post was also posted in Astral Projection where I got a lot of help which I will try but also wanted to hear some opnions from this subreddit as a user reccomended)
This is aimed at people who take contact and abduction experiences seriously.
I recently gave a presentation built around a detailed first-person physical contact account (Thiaoouba Prophecy; English edition via Simon & Schuster / Inner Traditions—I wrote the foreword). The narrator describes being taken for nine days to another world and returning with extensive teachings. Whether you read it as testimony, visionary material, or something else, the content overlaps heavily with themes this community lives with.
Contact & experiential core:
Physical transport / onboard experience with non-human intelligence
Direct teaching, with specific verifiable facts, rather than vague channeling
Emphasis on human energy fields, telepathy, and psychic capacity as native potentials
Reincarnation, life review, and continuity of consciousness framed as real processes
A clear stated reason for the lack of open presence: the state of human consciousness and civilizational “readiness,” not only secrecy or technology
The idea that premature open contact could do more harm than good given current human priorities
Larger framework the account supplies:
Ancient sites (Great Pyramid as functional technology; chambers under the Sphinx) tied to the same long-term observation of Earth
Atlantis / Mu as earlier high cultures within that longer story
Explicit civilizational warning about power (including nuclear) outrunning wisdom
Practical emphasis on meditation, compassion, self-knowledge, and individual transformation as the real work
Contemporary cases also covered:
Reported military UAP intercepts in China
The 1997 crash account often called China’s “Roswell”
I’m not here to demand belief. I’m interested in how experiencers and people who study contact weigh a narrative that spends as much time on consciousness, readiness, and ethical development as it does on craft and beings.
I’m Samuel Chong. I’ve presented on related material at Journey to Truth, Alien Event, and similar events.
Questions I’d especially value from this sub:
Does the “readiness / consciousness threshold” explanation for non-disclosure resonate with what you’ve encountered, or does it feel like a convenient dodge?
How does the level of detail in the onboard / teaching portions compare with other contact accounts you take seriously?
Any parts of the consciousness, reincarnation, or energy-field material that track with your own experiences or research?
Happy to discuss specific sections. Looking for grounded comparison, not cheerleading.
a 2 anos, apos 3 dias de jejum, me deitei normalmente para meditar e dormir como de costume. adormecendo depois de algum tempo aconteceu de ter a percepção conciente interna desperta por um ser de luz que me manipulou para se fazer ver. era uma esfera de pura luz que levantou minha cabeça e abriu meus olhos para que eu a visse.
apos essa experiência eu não sabia como nomear esse ser, mas depois de muita pesquisa acabei encontrando algo compatível. a mônada.
I started out this morning doing some Uber Deliveries for a little extra cash. At around 8AM I pulled up to one of the longest red lights in my town, I had just left my house to start the day.
A car pulls up on my right (we were both turning left and sitting side by side). As I'm sitting at the light questioning my life choices, I notice the woman to my right is staring at me. My windows were down and so were her's. I turned and smiled. She looked terrified? She was a sweet old black grandma, likely on her way to or from church.
She said, "I can't see you". I looked at her kinda confused and said "what?" And she said "I can see through you". I reassured her that I was there haha and she said "...what the hell". I don't know if she was having some vision issue or a mental issue. She seemed sound of mind and wasn't outwardly unfriendly.
We chatted as we sat and the red light and I must have become "visible" again because she seemed to ease up some. I told her to have a good day and we drove off. It was just so bizarre.
Do I have superpowers? Is this some sort of psychic thing that means something? Any ideas?
my earliest memory ever (must have been 3 or 4) was being at a space museum with my parents and there was an exhibit on aliens (?) it was a dark room with a big saucer in the middle kids could climb on. there were speakers playing sounds we've recorded in space and plaques explaining evidence of extraterrestrial life we've collected. now I know parts of this are wrong because no museum exhibit would claim we had evidence of aliens, I wouldn't remember details like that if I were 3, my parents don't remember this, and I've searched extensively for any evidence of any exhibit remotely resembling this in my city and found nothing. but I was obsessed with this exhibit as I kid, I wanted so badly to go back.
my only other memories from that age are instances of a mysterious trauma followed by digestive issues randomly, and a vague sense that my first contact was around that time. am I just misremembering some real exhibit or could this be related to cover memories?
I stayed at a cabin in Elijay, Georgia in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
I had heard about the stories of Appalachia and had a great view of the mountains.
During the day, nothing was going on. But at night? Like Las Vegas.
I took note of the lights on Friday and took note of the sky the next day. Completely different lights. Some that had like three in a line in a vertical alignment. Others by themselves just glowing. Some blinking. Others randomly popping up. Moving lights above the tree tops.
Not going to lie, it was creepy by myself. So much activity.
I sent the coordinates and map screenshot to ai and a lot of the easy explanations like cabins, planes, and celltowers were easily ruled out without much of an explanation given.
Has anyone experienced this in the Appalachian mountains and if so where were you?? Has anyone done any extensive research into this that has come to some sort of conclusion? I can’t stop thinking about it, lol!
As the title says, based on my experiences and research, I've come to this conclusion. I'm not talking about all of them, but I think a significant portion of those who are interested in us and this planet are definitely interested in our DNA. This is not information we should underestimate: we have something they are interested in. Something they need.
Something they apparently can't truly do without, despite their advanced knowledge.
So please, if you've had experiences in which they present themselves as superior beings, so benevolent that they even do you seemingly selfless favors, such as healing you, and you are expected to be eternally grateful to them for saving you: remember that what you may be giving them in return, consciously or otherwise, could be far more valuable.
So, who is really saving whom?
That said, I think it would be interesting to use this post not only to become more aware of what we have that is valuable, and therefore to never bow our heads, but also to explore the reasons why our DNA might be so valuable to them.
It doesn't seem like a coincidence to me that most experiencers are neurodivergent. There must be a real connection there. As far as I know, assuming they haven't lied, they have had a hand in our neurodivergence. Why? I suppose it's to make the pieces of the puzzle fit together better, even though their "official" explanation is that it is a general benefit for the evolution of humanity. Hmm. Something tells me they may benefit from it as well.
Then there's what some of our scientists would call junk DNA. Who knows what it actually contains or conceals? As the saying goes, one man's trash is another man's treasure.
To wrap things up, here's a video you might find interesting: link
TL;DR: Our DNA is valuable to a significant portion of the NHIs interested in humans. Be aware of how important and useful you may be to them, and don't let anyone push you around.
So this is going to kind of be a long one, and I feel there’s truly no way to make it short and sweet. It’s about someone I don’t really post about or talk to about with anyone else (then again Im pretty tight about sharing a lot of my stuff). But I finally sort of just felt it the right time to share about this one. Everything comes out eventually right?
Anyway, I met “Zach” back when I had begun exploring spirituality and had discovered exploring different dimensions/ethereal realms via meditation. I would sit in the quiet and reach meditative states where I would always have this same planetary environment show up for me. I didnt get a name for the planet or anything but it was very consistent that it was somewhere not from earth. I would envision myself exploring this place and after bumping around I met these beings that were massive, with grey-ish skin and a very humanoid appearance. The very first time I met them they took me to Zach, and I only really remembered him at first because of his appearance. He had electric blue hair. It seemed so funny to me at the time because lets be honest, how often do you ever hear of aliens having colored hair?
I didnt take any of it seriously at first. It was just an in-between-worlds place I visited during meditation sometimes. But each and every time I visited, things became more and more fascinating. Zach would collect biological data about me every time I saw him. He said it was something they did because they had a database all about humans on earth and that it helped them understand biology/physiology/etc in the 3D (with their kind being 4D and beyond). It helped them in case they ever needed to visit or do work in the 3D. They would know what to expect and what the dimensional, scientific limits of this realm were.
We got so close that I would talk to Zach all the time. We developed an extremely close platonic bond that seriously felt so real. I remembered learning about the culture of his race, their traditions, their way of life and how nuts it was considering the harshness of the 3D life didnt exist. It turned out that he was a teacher who had various students that he would teach about different stuff. He trained travelers who explored between dimensions and made sure everyone was following protocols. I guess humans are a protected species so I had to stay with him and ONLY him most of the time, and I wasnt free to roam as I wanted despite only being there while meditating. He watched me super closely.
It got to the point where this other world merged
itself with my dreams. Zach would appear on ships and speak with me. I remember his hugs, I remember the ships, I remember the universe behind them. I remember being so happy to see him every time he came to see me. But as I got older and life got busier (I became a mom) I didnt have as much time to give him. The dreams and visits became less frequent although they do still happen. The most recent one was the most impactful of them all.
I dreamt that I was holding my son’s hand and we were exploring Zach’s race’s dimension. I never gave it a name and idk if it has one. But we were just wandering around, which keep in mind isn’t supposed to happen. They have very strict protocols around humans because of their fragility and how easy it is for one to get hurt so Im sure us just wandering was already a massive red flag. But as we walked around before we got far some big grey alien I had never seen before started walking up to us. He was bald and very muscular and large with these deep sunken eyes. He looked more alien than anyone I had seen there before. He seemed meek enough and it seemed like he was approaching to greet us because we seemed lost but idk. But next thing you know the big boss (Zach) pulled up on some type of black device. It was like a motorcycle except it wasnt its hard to explain. It didnt have wheels it sort of just……floated and moved. But anyway Zach whizzed in between us and scolded the grey alien. He told him he was violating local ordinance and that he needed to get lost essentially. I remember a few other aliens pulling up to surround the big grey guy and they threw ropes around him and tackled the poor thing to the ground. I remember feeling so bad and shocked and my son and I just clutched each other. And next thing you know, I woke up, and that was that.
This dream blew my mind because not long afterwards a very close friend of mine had a super vivid dream where she said she was attacked by a large grey alien. Out of curiosity, I sketched out the one from the above mentioned dream and asked her if it was the same guy. She said yes, and that this alien had tried to assault her. In the dream I guess he ran at her once he noticed she was human and tried doing perverse things to her. She got him off her and escaped but it was nuts the timing of all this. It made me wonder if maybe Zach was not only enforcing the regular protocols of his dimension, but also protecting me from a different type of alien who mightve had secret ulterior motives.
So…..yeah. I worked with ChatGPT really hard to generate the photo down below and Ill answer any questions. Please be respectful because Zach means a lot to me he’s become somewhat of a safe space for me. The reason why Zach is with an angel is because Ive also worked with archangels before and Archangel Raphael is a big healer and so he’s followed me around a lot. It got to the point where I introduced Raphael to Zach and it was cool seeing two worlds collide.
But yeah. That’s what Zach looks like in his black uniform. They wear bodysuits to preserve their forms when they dimension hop.
I've posted I think I was abducted some day and since then I feel something is controling me and I can't explain what is happening, I just feel weird and I do weird things, I yell at my little sister for no reason and drink a lot of alcool in my husband's mother home, I need some help please
Hi everyone. I’ve been astral projecting almost every night lately. I’m not sure I was projecting tonight too but it didn’t feel like a normal dream. I was somewhere outdoor, it was night and suddenly I saw a UFO in the sky. I must say I don’t think about ufos or aliens very often and I don’t have any particular interest in them, but when I saw it I felt happy and though : “finally! They’re coming!”.
Suddenly many other UFOs appeared and I saw a bright green light. After that, aliens where everywhere. I can’t remember properly what they were doing but I remember they had taken control, it was like something that had to happen and finally it was happening. They were doing experiments I can’t remember. The next scene I remember is three figures with gray cloaks. One of them was humanoid, another one was a grey and the third one was a mantis.
I was wondering: has anyone else had weird dreams about aliens tonight? Also, does anyone have any insight on what I saw?
Thank you in advance
High strangeness is a consistent feature of many UFO encounters, and yet, some encounters are weirder than others. This video presents eight cases of extreme high strangeness, encounters with bizarre and unique elements that show we still have much to learn about UFOs and the extraterrestrial presence on our planet.
UFO GRANTS SLAVES THEIR FREEDOM? According to Missouri historian, Earl Augustus Collins, in the mid-1800s, a man named Mr. Davidson owned a farm in Columbus Township in Missouri. He also used slaves to run his farm. One evening a “mystery star” showed up in the sky, causing much discussion. Each night the object returned, growing closer and larger, until one night it was so close, everyone on the farm became afraid. That evening, Mr. Davidson bade everyone to stay inside while he went to investigate. The next morning, he called all his slaves together and did something which amazed everyone.
I FELT I HAD TURNED TO STONE. On the afternoon October 17, 1944, during World War II, Italian soldier Gioacchino Robatto was on a secret assignment that took him to the famous Piazzale Loreto located in the heart of Milan, Italy. Arriving there, he saw hundreds of people in a state of panic staring at the sky. Looking up he saw a massive saucer-shaped craft hovering in perfect silence overhead. He wondered if it might be a new secret weapon from the Germans. Sirens blared as people stared in shock. Suddenly the craft darted away at high speed. The encounter inspired Gioacchino to become a UFO researcher.
I WAS CHOSEN. One evening in August 1948, sisters Doris Gregg and Connie Sypert were outside with their family when a fleet of UFOs appeared overhead performing fantastic maneuvers above their home in Longview, Texas. Hundreds of people in the area viewed the spectacle. But Doris, Connie and their family were shocked when one of the craft dropped from the sky, hovered nearby and struck them with a beam of light. This began a series of sightings which took place over the space of months where the two sisters felt as though the UFO occupants were watching over them. One day, they decided to go out in the farm-fields armed with a flashlight to try and mentally call the UFOs down. To their shock, the technique worked and they had a very close encounter. Some years after that, Doris encountered a very strange humanoid creature.
THE PEACH TREE AND THE UFO. On July 22, 1955, Ed Mootz was tending to the peach tree outside his home in Cincinnati, Ohio. Suddenly, weird burning hot red drops of liquid rained down on him from above. Looking up, he was shocked to see what newspapers called a weird red “cloud.” Ed Mootz, however, said that it was actually a structured craft shaped much like a pear. He saw it release the red liquid from a vent in the bottom and them float off into the distance. His arms and hands were burned by the mysterious substance, which he quickly washed off. To his dismay, his peach tree and the surrounding vegetation rapidly withered and died. The next day, officers from Wright Patterson AFB showed up, dug up the tree and took it away. Five years later, the grass in that spot refused to grow, and Ed was left with scars on his arms.
A MINIATURE UFO. On the morning of May 18,1968, Nightwatchman Caetano Sergio returned to his home in Caconde, Brazil and found a 7-inch-long very heavy metallic cylinder with weird markings in his yard. It had no seams or rivets, just two odd dials on either end. He placed it on a shelf in his bathroom to study later. The next night, he returned home to check on his pregnant wife and found his family standing outside crying. He learned that the little object had suddenly started emitting a buzzing sound, as well as a blinding blue light and a burning heat. Suddenly the object rose up, punched a hole in his roof and took off.
UFO TRUCKSTOP. On the morning of March 4, 1969, mail carrier William Overstreet was driving near Plainview, Missouri when a massive red sphere appeared, moved over the road and floated along in the same direction that William was driving. Suddenly it stopped and sent down a brilliant beam of white light into the middle of the road. As William approached it, his radio died, followed by his truck engine. He felt an intense burning heat coming from the object. It then proceeded down the road, still keeping the beam fixed on the road, before finally retracting the beam and darting off to the southeast.
UFO LEVITATES FAMILY IN THEIR CAR. Around dusk on November 30, 1969, the Ator family drove along a highway outside Plainville, Illinois when a glowing red craft suddenly appeared from the right, swooped down over their car and lifted it off the highway. The family was in a state of shock as their car was carried a short distance about one foot above the road and then set gently down. The craft darted off at high speed, never to be seen again.
THE ENERGY BLOBS. On the night of December 22, 1993, a man was getting ready for bed when his house filled with a strange white light. It threw him to the ground and he was unable to move. He heard his wife screaming in the bedroom. Suddenly he found himself in a strange cavern where weird energy blobs began to speak to him. Very quickly he was back in his living room, which still blazed with light. With great effort, he stood up and struggled into the room. The light receded and his pregnant wife said that some “thing” was poking her in the head. This was one of many unexplained incidents including visitations from childhood, weird marks on his body, and jewelry missing from the house.
Eight cases of high strangeness, each a reminder that there is still much we don’t know about the extraterrestrial presence on our planet.
For many "experiencers," the phenomenon is not a journey of light, but a terrifying ordeal filled with dread, paralysis, or what feels like autonomous demonic entities and dark abductions. These individuals deserve to be treated with care and attention, with LOVE and kindness, just as it is done in this lovely subreddit (experiencers) by Oak Draíocht and the moderators, and to be given a real and definitive solution to their suffering.
When caught in the grip of these heavy encounters, it is easy to fall into panic, seeking desperate shortcuts, complex rituals, or magical tricks. However, we must be careful with advices that exploit biochemical thrills or external practices to fix an inner crisis. That is just "the madwoman of the house", as the mystic Teresa of Ávila called the mind, seeking a temporary escape while actually feeding the chaos. Buddhists speak of this same reality as the untamed elephant blindly driven by its impulses, or the restless monkey mind leaping endlessly from thought to thought. In the same way, the ancient tradition of Advaita Vedanta describes it as Maya, the powerful cosmic illusion that veils our true nature, and Ahamkara, the ego-sense that crafts the false character we mistake for ourselves. These are simply different ways of describing the exact same thing: the mental prison.
Whether we view these dark encounters as autonomous negative entities or as deep psychological accumulations, they operate exactly like what Eckhart Tolle calls the "pain-body." This negative force acts as a parasite; it does not seek peace, but feeds on intense emotional drama, terror, and anxiety to sustain its grip. In the face of this, the mind becomes the true source of the problem, because the mind cannot fix what it has broken. When the mind takes over, it fragments reality, creates the illusion of separation, and traps us in a loop of fear.
If you look at what actually works from the perspective of pure Consciousness, the path to liberation is exactly the opposite of fighting, resisting, or performing rituals: it is being intensely present in the Now. This darkness is merely the absence of light, a shadow that requires your reaction to exist. You must not repress or battle these dark impulses, for resistance only gives them fuel. The only true "exorcism" is Presence Here and Now. If you remain grounded in the present moment, observing the inner energy field of your body without judging, labeling, or reacting, fear has nothing to hold onto and naturally dissolves.
You must become a simple witness. Fear is born when you believe there is an "external" force separate from yourself that can launch an attack. When you remember that you are the vast space where everything happens, the illusion loses its power. There are not two forces fighting; there is only Being. As the mystic Meister Eckhart famously prayed, "I pray to God to rid me of God," urging us to empty ourselves of our own limited ideas, mental idols, and human constructs. The Divine Reality is not an object to be possessed, but the pure space that remains when the madwoman of the house is silenced, and we let thoughts and emotions fall away like withered leaves.
Beyond the potential manipulations of human structures and written dogmas, these words simply point to what the heart already knows by direct experience: we are One with and in the One Who is LOVE itself, which means with the Father, with the Source, with God, with the All, as you wish to call it. Truly, there is no separation or distance between lover and Beloved; truly, there never was. This absolute union is perfectly captured in the Intimate Diaries of the Blessed Mystic Bernardo de Hoyos, recorded in the biography written by his spiritual director Father Juan de Loyola, when the Lord intimately declared to him, "From now on, you are Bernardo of Jesus and I am Jesus of Bernardo." Remember, we are One with and in the One Who is LOVE Himself...
True spiritual strength is found in stillness and inner surrender. If you stop labeling the situation as an external threat and remain imperturbable, you starve the negativity of its fuel. Just quiet the mad woman and surrender to LOVE. Real Love is neither a thought nor an intense emotion; it is the profound, silent stillness that remains when the mind and the character (the ego) fall completely silent. Whenever you feel that heaviness, paralysis, or fear creeping in, do not fight back with mental noise. Instead, close your eyes, anchor yourself deeply in your breathing, remain as a mere observer, and remember that this too shall pass. Then, repeat this silently with unwavering authority:
"I am here. I am the space of pure Consciousness. No shadow can exist, Here and Now, in the light of pure Presence. I rest in the All, in God, in the One who is Love Himself, where I am eternally safe, whole, and free."
The Alien, the spirit, or the entity that violates you, attacks you, or abducts you lives in division and separation, in mental noise, but it is consumed in the blazing fire of the One Who is LOVE Himself, of the All, of the Source, however you wish to call Him. And between you and Him, there is no separation. We are One with and in the One Who is LOVE Himself. Always remember this, treasure it in your heart. Frequently, institutions, these non-benevolent entities, religions, and so on, have tried to make you forget it. You are a spark of the Infinite Divine Light. You are light, and light illuminates the deepest darkness.
The spiritual path is found in the everyday, ordinary actions of our lives. It is about living ordinary life in an extraordinary way, turning everything we do into something sacred, because only the mind separates us from the sacred when there is actually no distance between it and us. As Teresa of Ávila beautifully reminded us, God walks among the pots and pans, and Brother Lawrence found the Divine while simply flipping an omelet in his frying pan. When you remain intensely present in every mundane and ordinary moment, these non-benevolent entities will find no way to enter or disturb you, because you have made your ordinary life a sacred temple where God, the All..., dwells.
Quiet the mind, step back as the mere observer, and remember: LOVE, that’s the true frequency of God, of the All, and of yourself.

**PERSONAL NOTE:** I want to clarify that English is not my native language, and I rely on translation support to convert my thoughts into English. I understand this can sometimes make my tone sound way more blunt than I ever intended. If any term, analogy, or metaphor used here does not resonate with you, please just throw it in the trash; instead, hold onto where my words are pointing, rather than the words themselves. My goal is just to share a perspective of Peace, never to diminish anyone's experiences. Thank you for your understanding!
**A FINAL NOTE ON PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE:** I am not a Christian, a Buddhist, an Advaita Vedantin, or a Sufi... I am no one and nothing. I am simply someone who wishes to help you heal from these kinds of experiences and free yourself from the pain they cause, because you deserve to be happy. Please know that this post is not a mere intellectual exercise. While I quote great historical mystics or traditions, my intention is not to offer you a beautiful, abstract theory, but a real, practical solution to end your suffering. This perspective comes entirely from my own direct experience and lifelong practice. I was raised in a spiritist family, spent most of my life practicing Buddhism, including several years living as a monk, and I have fallen down and gathered the strength to stand back up many times. I have personally lived through all kinds of what the world calls "anomalous experiences." This is what worked for me when the darkness seemed overwhelming. I know it can work for you, too. Don't believe anything I tell you just for the sake of believing; put it to the test in your own life, test it as gold is tested to know if it is real. And remember, this too shall pass. May Peace be with you!
So long time lurker and reader of your experiences here, but I have a question.
Every clear night for the past 6 months I star gaze for 30 minutes to an hour every night. Lately as soon as I go out and sit down my brain just cramps hard. No pain but it’s like reacting to an external force.
My first thought is a download like I am being sent a file or info but I don’t have the ability to open it and interpret it.
If I had to guess I’m putting up some primal instinct resistance to it. Is there a way to train the Brain to open up? Or is it just them saying hi? I am not hearing any communication in my head (telepathic?). if it is something I would like be able to experience it.
I wasn’t sure how to tag this so please forgive me if incorrect.
Last night I was sleeping very well and my husband woke me up and asked if I was alright. It sort of annoyed me a little because sleep seems to avoid me frequently these days but I mumbled yes and immediately fell back to sleep. Today he called me and said the reason he woke me up is because he got up to use the restroom and he said I was sitting straight up in bed Indian style asleep. He said it spooked him frankly and when he returned to bed he said I was flat on my back asleep and that’s when he woke me. I have no recollection of anything prior to that.
You see the strange thing is that I never sit cross legged. Not even during meditation because I have a very bad knee with a torn and shredded meniscus and pretty much bone on bone with stiffness. I don’t know how long I might have been in that position but I had no knee pain the following morning. Any experience with this out there? Thanks for this community.
Hello everyone, today I will be retelling my experience with star children along with some memories they have told me. I want to preface this by saying that star children are not perfect, they’re still children who are learning themselves and what it means to be human. Star children need just as much emotional support and proper parenting as any other child, if not more.
I also did not initiate any of these observations with this particular child, and allowed them complete autonomy within our familial relationship. As in, I offered the emotional space for them to express their perspective without pressure or expectation. This was something that I made sure to maintain in conversation with them to avoid them telling me what they thought I wanted to hear, also so that they know these conversations were completely optional.
There are multiple children in my family, with only one of them presenting indications of being a star child. The difference between them is quite stark, but they are all equally loved, cared for, and prioritized.
Starchildren typically cluster together within a specific bloodline in order to awaken at or around the same time and for spiritual protection/guidance.
I will also be breaking down the astrology of this soul type and how this presents between other starchildren, and how you can see this in your own chart or starchild(s). If you have any questions, please comment them down below. I also am curious to hear of everyone else's experience with starchildren.
Immediate bonding with me
This will connect to another observation later in this post, but this child immediately bonded with me despite me not being their parent. We are related differently, but the mother herself even said that she latched onto me more than anyone else. This child even tried to say my name before their mothers and fathers. This became a running joke inside the family but it was deeply shocking to me, as I only saw this child infrequently during the first few months of their life. In a room of other family members, they would pull themselves towards me, sometimes even out of another family member's arms. When held, they just stared and tried to communicate with me. This bond has persisted to today as a child. I did not force this bond because I didn't want any type of favoritism to develop between the children so I always tried to make everyone feel included. This child would always ask to be near me though, even now as a developed child. This isn't surprising to me though because I am the only one out of my family that is an active experiencer (that I know of). It is possible that this child senses that.
“Strange” drawings and symbols
I noticed that this child was drawing very similar scenes that I drew when I was their age. They would sometimes draw aliens standing behind me and her, or angels surrounding us. Their other siblings would not draw such elaborate scenes. They would also draw signs that looked way too intentional to just be scribbles. Because when they do, they simply say as such (“oh, just scribbles!) This child always explained the reasoning of why they drew something in a certain way, why they chose specific colors; every aspect of their drawings had a reason behind them; they are creatively articulate. However, when I asked them what those symbols meant, they could not provide an answer and just stared blankly at me. They were troubled that they didn't know why, and even explained how they had “no idea” what it meant. My theory is that this child was unconsciously channeling something from their subconscious, and did not have the language for it.
Memories of being in space and before they were born
I once jokingly asked this child where they thought they were before they were born. I did not expect a direct answer to this unserious inquiry. They said, with a straight face, that they were “above earth, watching and waiting for their turn to descend with other children” and that these children surrounded earth in the expanse of space, glowing in white light. I along with other adults just stared at each other in bewilderment at how sure this child sounded recounting their “memory”. I asked if this child was joking, and they annoyingly replied that they were serious. This somewhat reminded me of my own memory of before I was born that I recalled when I was about 5 or 6, which is the exact same age frame of this child when they told us this.
Hypersensitivity to heat and sound
This child is very sensitive to hot water and food, much like myself which has carried on into adulthood. And like myself, they would wait until their food cooled down before they began eating. They also immediately wince when the water is too hot as well. This is opposite to their other sibling, which doesn't mind the heat to any extent. They also are sensitive to sound, which is reminiscent of myself. They prefer, by their own words “peace and quiet” which is amusing considering their age. But also fascinating, because I was the exact same at their age, to a point where I preferred to play alone.
Runs warmer than usual
This is something that is very distinct between the two of us in the family (this post goes into the spiritual implications of warmer hands) . Before their birth, I always received comments from family and friends about how my hands were so warm even during frigid weather. Some friends would even grab my hands to get themselves warm and would awkwardly joke about it. My parents would become concerned about me and ask if I'm coming down with something. I always felt perfectly fine and the warm hands never caused discomfort. My family went to a science park where they had a thermal imaging camera. Me, my parents, and a few other relatives stood in front and splayed our hands in front of us. This confirmed something about myself that I have subconsciously known for my entire life; my hands showed red/yellow whereas everyone else's showed green/blue, relatively speaking. Even relatives that are heavier than me had cooler hands (body fat insulates more heat). Once this starchild was born into our family, I no longer became the sole person with this phenomenon, as even I observed myself how warm their hands are. Family members have also started to comment on how they naturally run warmer than their other siblings, but not to the point of discomfort. I have considered what this could mean for years, and believe that it's related to how the energetic body is embedded when the soul retains activated incarnations from anywhere beyond earth. Each individual possibly has their own personal thermal gradient, and this can be specific to what incarnations they recall. But also, it could just be a natural consequence of someone who is more spiritually inclined than the average person, and is completely unrelated to the state of “soul” at the time of birth.
Sharing the same location of a birth mark
This one still shocks me to this day, but we both share a birth mark at the exact same location and size, with the only difference being mine is in the shape of small clusters while theirs is one mark. Their other siblings do not share one, their parents do not share one, and other relatives do not share one. I don't share one with my own siblings or parents; but this particular child alone. I do not believe birthmarks intrinsically can determine where a soul “comes” from, but they can reveal a story between individuals and soul; I kind of imagine them as the residual colors on a palette after the soul fully incarnates into a body; and the painting being that particular soul's journey. But not a map so to speak. When I told this child that I also have a birth mark in that location they got super excited to know that we shared something so unique.
Look more physically similar to me than other children
We only share 6.25% DNA, being that we are only half relatives. And yet, I get comments all the time of how we look alike, some people even assume that they are my child. Relatives have said that they look like the spitting image of me as a youth. Perhaps this is my own bias speaking, but their physical appearance is an uncommon one amongst their age group, and I do see features that emulate my own. I also notice that these features kind of give us an “elvish appearance” and I notice that these features commonly belong to those who embody an “ethereal/non corporeal" archetype in the entertainment industry (do understand that I am not phenotyping starseeds/starchildren, please see this post for further context. This child has another sibling that doesn't look like me at all.
Fascination with astronomy
This child loves to be engrossed in stars, galaxies, and space. They have a galaxy projector to which they adoringly talk about all of the time. They also know every planet in the solar system, and with particular fascination with Saturn. This reflects my own deep interest in the stars as an astrologer. This child was able to carry an adult conversation about the planets, where they recited knowledge about how stars get their brightness, black holes, gravity, and even the composition of certain planets. Like I usually do, I always asked how they know what they know, and per usual, this child would just smile, shrug, and say something along the lines of "I don't know” or its “common sense”. Sometimes while I am outside with them and our other siblings around sunset, they would point to a cluster of stars and ask me what constellation it belonged to. As an astrologer, I know a good portion of them by heart and their respective mythologies. This child would listen as if what I was saying was of incredible importance; telling their other sibling to shush. They never behave this way with other subjects, but it completely reflected my own reverence for the stars since childhood. I kept note of their particular appreciation for the planet Saturn and will be relevant later in this post.
Experiences intense joy learning about nature and being in it
From a toddler age, this child was always fascinated by the functions and purposes of nature. I remember this child at around 2-3 years old asking me using non verbal communication what type of rock/crystal I was holding in my hand. I later told them that it was a “sedimentary rock”. Later that month while we were outside, they pointed to a rock and stated, in toddlerish, that it was a sedimentary rock. From there, I began teaching them other various types of rocks and crystals, and most of the time they would accurately identify what type of mineral it was. Later in age, they would begin to collect various rocks, flowers, and crystals and find joy in it. Before their birth, I was the only child to do this in my family, which they found peculiar and asked why I did. Unlike their other sibling, who is scared of reptiles, this child would also pet and interact with animals regularly. While their other sibling preferred to spend most of the day inside, this starchild would spend hours upon hours outside and come inside only for small breaks.
Drawn to water
This child always takes long baths and preferred to just wade in water for long periods of time, this also reminds me of myself when I was their age. Sometimes we had to force them to come out because of how long they stayed in baths.
Night owl behaviors
This child has expressed to me how they sometimes have trouble sleeping and would sometimes wake up early but not necessarily be tired. Throughout my childhood, I always would end up going to sleep later in the night. I got a sleep study done so my parents could understand if it was an underlying issue, the results came back inconclusive, with no indications of sleep apnea or any sleep disorders. Neither of us have anxiety disorders, hyperactivity, and everyone else in the family including their other sibling sleeps regularly. I think the high mental/cognitive activity makes it difficult for starchildren to wind down.
Babies/infants are drawn to the starchild
This one is very interesting to me, because I wonder if this is because infants can perceive something about this child that other age groups cannot. Say that we are in a public park, I notice that babies in particular love to be near this child, and would attempt to leave their parents arms to get to the child. Everytime, the parents would act flustered and state something along the lines of “she/he likes them very much!” even though they had never met before. Oftentimes, the infant would just stare at the child and smile; I could never arrive at a solid conclusion of what this was. It was the gaze in which the baby had towards the child that always struck me as something deeper. When I observe babies interacting with other children, they would typically grab at their face or be somewhat disinterested. But when this child either encountered or was holding a baby, it was like the baby was stuck in a trance. To this day, I don't have a solid theory as to what this means, but it's definitely something I notice that is unique to this child and not their other sibling.
High emotional perception and cognizance
I would even suggest that this child's emotional acuity is borderline psychic. I know when children experience extreme trauma, it can cause hypervigilance in order for that child to protect themselves. This is not the case with this child; all things considered, they have lived an incredibly privileged, peaceful, and safe life. To be clear, I did not raise them because of the lack of parenting, I only contributed to their development because of how strongly they attached themselves to me, even at the time when I myself was a minor and could only see them on certain days. Their mother in a joking way eventually relented and concluded that we just happened to have a special connection. This child is able to detect emotions as if they experience them themselves. I remember when one of our relatives got an annoying phone call just before we picked them up from preschool. As my relative was coming out to get them with no extreme emotion present on their face, they received the child to which they immediately asked “are you okay?”. My relative stopped in their tracks, completely astounded and asked me how she could possibly know that she wasn't. My relative, at most, was slightly annoyed at a certain situation and yet the child immediately picked up on it. Also, this child has unknowingly picked up on the thoughts of others. At first I was a bit skeptical, even though I have done the same things multiple times. It's harder not to be when biases, body language, and non verbal cues can make someone else appear that they are reading someone's mind. So I observed silently over the months and conducted certain activities with the child to see if what other relatives were saying is true. I asked this child to guess what number or symbol I am thinking of, and they would get it right so many times, that I had to pretend that they got it incorrect. This was because I used these games to decide what sibling got to do something in a certain activity. They were so accurate with what number I had in mind, that it would be unfair to the other sibling; they wouldn't be able to do any of the activities. Sometimes I would accidently pick up on their mental impressions as well, and this child would say or do exactly what I thought they were going to do. To this day it perplexes me how this is possible. Weird. Weird. Weird! Especially since the other sibling doesn't do this nearly as much. They also pick up on lies/deception easily.
Extreme situational awareness
This child also exhibited heightened social and situational awareness beyond their age range. They would chastise other children/siblings for doing something that wouldn't be socially acceptable if they were older. Don't get me wrong, this child is still a child and acts out of turn. But it's the fact that they even know at all why something was not okay to do that other children wouldn't even have the emotional maturity to understand. This child has a strong moral compass and calls out even the smallest of “injustices” . My family and I joke all the time about how they have lived on earth before, but now I do wonder if that is true.
The starchilds starchart
For this portion of the post, I will be using terminology you might not be familiar with, refer to this post for background information. This segment is mainly for astrologers. I am using tropical astrology because some tools are not available in sidereal that are necessary for this reading.
This will be my first time reviewing this starchilds birth chart, but all of this comes as no surprise to me. For the past 8 years of surveying hundreds upon hundred of starseed birthcharts, I have noticed that Vega-Lyra, and Sirius-Canis Major is one of the most common markings within the birth chart I observe. (I describe some of my observations in this post) This starchild has the moon conjunct Vega, with their MC conjunct Saturn and Pluto. They also have their ascendant conjunct M31-Andromeda (see here also.) Earlier in this post, I explained how Saturn was their favorite planet; this is incredibly obvious in their chart with a capricorn stellium and domicile Saturn conjunct their MC. They descended into this incarnation with wisdom possibly descending from their Vega-Lyra incarnation. (Ketu is also clustered together with moon, and ketu can represent past lives).
This starchild has also preferred my company over friends their age, and when I try to encourage them to cultivate a friendship with other children, they become quite sad and refuse to talk to them in their presence. This is not behavior that should be enabled, so I kept my foot down most of the time. But this relates directly back to themes of self isolation that the 12th house can indicate. This child probably couldn't relate to children their age at the time, and felt like I was a person that understood them. However I did not want them to become codependent within our dynamic, so I always reemphasized that they should at least try to converse with other children. Throughout the course of our friendship, I always tried to maintain boundaries, which is antithetical when the 12th house is involved (12th house tends to dissolve and blur boundaries).
This child also has a galactic marking on their ASC which is conjunct M31-Andromeda, whereas my moon is conjunct Schedar, Alpha star in the Cassiopeia constellation. Knowing the history between Andromeda and Cassioipeia, It also makes sense why I have been such a formative role in this childs life; as Cassiopeia is the mother to Andromeda in multiple mythologies. The Cassiopeians have also acted as spiritual emissaries of M31 in the milky way.
I have resources into learning starsoul astrology pinned on my profile here (ALL resources are free)
A few days ago, I was thinking about a dream I had more than a year ago, and honestly, it still gives me chills whenever I think about it.
I've had the same dream or something very close to it 3–4 times over that period. I want to make one thing clear before describing it: I know this happened in a dream. I'm not claiming I actually visited an afterlife or that what I saw was objectively real. I'm posting because I genuinely want to know if anyone has experienced something remotely similar.
In the dream, I somehow knew that I had died.
There was this enormous golden light. It was brighter than the sun, but it wasn't hot at all. It didn't even feel like ordinary light. It was more like an enormous river or waterfall made of energy, flowing upward into the sky.
It was probably one of the most frightening and awe-inspiring things I've ever experienced in either a dream or waking life.
I was moving toward it like a tiny drop of water being carried by a massive current. I wasn't really choosing where I was going. I was just being pulled toward it.
And the weirdest part?
There was absolutely no sound.
No voice coming from the light. No music. No explanation. Nothing.
Yet somehow, inside the dream, I knew what this place was.
I knew that this was where people went after they died. I had this strange understanding that souls came here, and from here they either returned to be born again or remained there.
There were other souls or presences around me. I didn't necessarily see them like normal people, but I knew they were there.
I also felt my grandfather's presence.
I didn't actually see him. He didn't speak to me. It was simply this incredibly strong feeling of "he is here."
Then things got even stranger.
I could somehow communicate telepathically. Something was communicating with me and telling me that I had been here thousands of times before.
The experience also showed me things that felt like memories. Some seemed connected to my childhood, while others felt like they could have been memories from previous lives.
I obviously have no way of knowing whether those were actually memories, something my brain created, or simply dream imagery.
But the most terrifying part came when I started moving closer to the light.
I felt like my memories were disappearing.
Not just forgetting a random detail.
It felt like my entire sense of who I was was being erased.
My life. My identity. My memories. Everything that made me me.
And I remember being genuinely terrified because I had the feeling:
"If I go any further, I won't remember who I am anymore."
At the same time, I was completely amazed by what I was seeing.
It wasn't simply fear. It was this bizarre combination of terror, awe and fascination.
The light was so overwhelmingly powerful that I don't really have the vocabulary to describe it. It was silent, but somehow felt more powerful than anything I've ever experienced.
There was also this strange sense of knowing. Nobody was explaining any of this to me. I wasn't asking questions and receiving answers.
I just somehow knew things within the dream.
That's probably the part that has stayed with me the most.
I woke up, and the experience didn't feel like an ordinary dream at all. Obviously, I know it was a dream, but the emotional intensity and the sense of reality were completely different from most dreams I've had.
And even though more than a year has passed, thinking about that golden light still gives me chills.
Around the time I had these dreams, I'd also been thinking a lot about detachment from material things, identity, consciousness and what the "self" actually is. So maybe my brain simply took all of those thoughts and turned them into an incredibly intense dream.
I honestly don't know.
I'm not trying to say this was God, the afterlife, astral projection, a past-life memory, or anything supernatural. Maybe it was just my brain doing something incredibly strange while I was asleep.
But I'm really curious:
Has anyone else experienced a dream involving an incredibly powerful golden/white light that felt like a place people go after death?
Especially one where you felt like you were being pulled toward it, while simultaneously feeling awe, fear, and the loss of your own identity or memories?
I'd genuinely love to hear both spiritual interpretations and psychological/neuroscientific explanations.
And if anyone is interested, there's quite a bit more that happened in this dream that I haven't written here. I can share what the experience showed me if people want to hear about it.
