In reply to the discussion: My family UFO story: [View all]Marthe48
(17,315 posts)through the universe. So many UFO stories describe red, green and white navigation lights. I can't believe all life forms would adopt those 3 colors, or even have exterior lights on their space vehicles. I don't think I've ever seen anything that I couldn't explain.
OTOH, My husband told me that when he was a child, about 4 or 5, he got up in the night, and went to his kitchen for a drink of water. Something unseen knocked him down. Something grabbed his leg and pulled it straight up in the air and started dragging him. He resisted and got back to his bed. Although this story is open to lots of jokes, he was dead serious when he told me, and didn't want me to share the story at all. At the same house, and around the same age, he was in the outhouse, and had the door open. As he was sitting there, he saw the Easter bunny go across the yard with a little wheel barrow. Again, this wasn't a story he liked to share. He didn't think either of these episodes were a dream. He passed away a few years ago, so I share the stories now. Maybe someone can explain what occurred.
When he was in his teens to 40s he suffered bouts of sleep paralysis. He would be having vivid dreams right before the episode began. Two of his dreams seemed to tally with news events which happened a few weeks after his dreams. Once he was having a particularly bad episode. I was asleep beside him and dreamed that he needed my help. I awoke, saw he was in an episode, shook him and yelled at him. Shaking him always helped him snap out of it. (Sometimes he was just sleeping and didn't appreciate my preemptive efforts) We learned that if he avoided sleeping on his back, especially when he was physically tired, he could avoid the worst of the sleep paralysis.
I thought the precognitive sort of dreams and the one time that seemed like telepathy were really strange. Even though the dreams and sleep paralysis happened decades ago, I never forgot them. I think I wrote the dreams, the news stories down, and also that he entered my dream for help.
