My whole life i always woke up with bruises and my bed shaking and having strange dreams and beliving i saw ghost etc. Well i came to terms with that being just the imagination of a child . About 5 months ago I woke up in the middle of night not being able to move my body and i believe i was being abducted 2 figures with large heads and large eyes were above me . They stuck a metal device down my throat and they were telepathetically speaking to me . They weren'nt "nice" they seemed to be very manipulative. They were telling me bad things about my brother. I am 24 yrs old i live in Nyc as i have my whole life , i have alot of friends and a boyfriend of 5 yrs. I go out socialize and am quite "popular" I am overall a normal person. This experience has made me feel like an outcast , Ive told people about this experience , even after the abduction i woke up the next moring with a scabbed red thing on my arm and there is a scar on my arm til this day . i remember waking up and feeling a burning sensation on my arm and sure enough there was a wound. so i have told people actually everyone and anyone who would listen because i felt as is my life was in danger . Some people do believe and then there are others who think im nuts . This experience left me so afraid and depressed , i have started drinking alot , about 4 times a week i can not be left alone in my house and its very hard for me to fall asleep , when it used to be easy for me . i feel like i have lost my independence and have become extremely paranoid . If this was all jsut a dream why did i wake up with a wound and bruises and why am i so afraid?!?! i want to jsut get over this or get to the bottom of it . i want to feel safe ad secure again and not secretly revolve my life around this.(after the "abudtion" i feel into a very strange dream f being on the beach with mermaids and running away with my brother and friends from something bad)

thanks
advice feedback?

if it was a dream, you woak up to found yourself injured because something or someone had injured you during your sleep... if you werent dreaming, then you were contacted by aliens... were they gray, green, brown?

if this happens again, try saying the lords prayer while this goes on. i dont know or understand why, but i heard many cases where praying to god will deter alien beings...

maybe the demons we read of in the bible, and aliens we read on this site are one in the same?

they were definetly grey colored the color jsut reminded me of how dead skin would look and they had abnormaly long fingers and large eyes no hair from what i could make out it was overall a horrifying experience

A couple of things I'd like to focus on:



What you are describing is classic post-traumatic stress. Now, first, let's completely ignore the question of whether or not this was a 'real' experience, as this is, in my opinion, irrelevant for the moment. You're responding to the experience in the same way that a person would if they had been pulled into a stranger's car and abducted.

Substitute 'alien' for 'a guy in a car', and the things that you report experiencing would cause the same reaction.

The feelings of fear, of being an outcast: these are completely normal reactions to a violation of your trust: your trust in other people, your trust in the goodness of humanity, the trust that you live in a safe environment.

I have several pieces of advice:
1) Breathe deeply and just focus on moving forward.
2) Talk to a therapist. Describe your symptoms to a therapist. My advice is: if the therapist insists on focuses on the question of whether or not this was a 'real' experience, get a different therapist. You're there to get help for post-traumatic stress, not to talk philosophy about what constitutes reality.
3) When you talk to people, try focusing them on what you're feeling and going through as a RESULT of your experience. Tell them what you experienced, certainly, but as a way of explaining what you're now going though. People might have a more helpful attitude if you START by describing the fear and other problems you're experiencing, and then use your experience to show WHY you're feeling this way.

Please understand that your feelings are completely normal and understandable, and they will pass with time.

I was attacked by a 12ft midget on the way home from bridge club.

Mac this isn't really the time or the place for this....

I know fen..but i get the impression that some people take the micheal with these tales.

I have never been abducted to mu knowledge. Twice I have seen things in the sky that defied any conventional explenation.

Every time I talk to skeptics about it in depth I am forced to admit there is no proof of aliens. And I find it difficult to believe when people get into long explenations of different races and galactic civilizations.

However the abduction scenarios are too similer and too numerous to ignore. There is obviously some kind of phenomena going on. And this has been so for as long as the human race has been around.

Obviously if they desired to destroy us or take our planet they could have easily done so at any time. However the behavior of hiding in the shadows and promoting a disparity of beliefs is a devide and conquar mentality. It is the actions of a user who seeks to take advantage and give nothing in return. They do not consider us as equals.

I do not think we have anything physicly to fear. If they wanted to hurt or enslave us there is nothing we could do about it anyway. But I do not consider them our buddies either. They do not shake hands and offer friendship. Obviously they do not wish to share any technology.

The only thing I have to offer is that they are unlikly to cause any physical harm. The experience is traumatizing but abductees are always returned unharmed.

They are users who take advantage and I do not believe any thing they would have to say. Eventually we may develop the technology to make them deal with us as equals. A little respect might come from the ability to kick a few little gray buts.

Yes but the same appplies to near death experiences...people report the same feelings from case to case.yet it could all be in the mind..maybe its not your body that is abducted..just your mind or conciousness,spirit perhaps.

you descibed wot the greys looked like, u descibed the greys how ive read all about how they look, theres got to sumthing different bout how they look???, u were rite there beside em rite?? how tall, markings etc??

There is a state of sleep, in which you can be half asleep half awake and you can`t move at that state the dreems look like very realistic and most of them are about ufo and alient`s abduction.

I`m not sceptical i just watch that on discovery chanel.

excuse my bad english a didn`t practice it for a while

Botev, in English we call this sleep paralysis or night terrors. Thank you for sharing. It's always something to keep in mind in case stories.

And don't worry. Your English is just fine.

If what Botev is talking about are night terrors then I find it extremely hard to believe that most of them are about UFOs and or aliens. I had an extreme case of night terrors as a child and talking with my parents, came to realize not one of them were about aliens or UFOs for that matter. Mind you, I was unaware of the idea at the time so that may be the reason. Mine were especially weird for me in that the majority weren't about monsters, ghouls or anything else that is the norm for 'scary'. Mine were truly about an evil twin for the most part. Like I said, very weird.

Yup i`m talking for the so called "night terrors" and yes it`s my mistake the most abductions are night terrors. It`s logical to asume that there are night terrors of many kinds.

mine was for elevator and chicken which is more weird
but it disappear when we move out. My guess is that this kind of state appear when the person is scared ot something in my case of the elevator (which is strange becouse i allways have used the stairs)

I'm not sure if I understand the underlined part above.

One, who says that most night terrors are about UFOs or aliens? No one.
Two, no one is suggesting that UFOs or aliens are night terrors.

However, it IS possible for a person to have night terrors about aliens, and for an 'alien experience' to be merely a case of night terrors. This in no way implies that all, or even most, night terrors are about UFOs or aliens, nor does it suggest that all, or even most, UFO or alien experiences are night terrors. It only suggests the possibility that a person could have night terrors about UFOs or aliens, or that a person's UFO or alien experiences could be merely night terrors.

It's an important point to keep in mind.

Must be an early day for you Kirin

Anyways, even if we say Night Terrors usually consist of Aliens and or UFOs a night terror still doesn't fit. In adults, they are brought on by stress, lack of sleep or trauma. By the sounds of it, she leads a good life and doesn't appear to be stressful (until this happened of course), I don't think she had a problem sleeping until this happened and if trauma is the issue, I doubt we'd hear about it anyways. So unless she was previously traumatized to bring on these night terrors, there is no reason to suggest it was a night terror.

What about an LSD flashback? I hear those happen to people who make outrageous claims.

Oh, I missed that completely, KW. Nice catch. To be honest, although she has some symptoms of night terrors, my suspicion is that night terrors are not what's at work here. Having been a victim of recurring night terrors, even my worst night terror only shook me up for a few days. There was a time, during the most concentrated string of night terrors (when they first began, I was having them a couple times a week), I was at a point where I was afraid to go to sleep. However, I think the stress of night terrors is generally short-lived. Whereas in this case, there are symptoms more like post-traumatic stress, lasting much longer than simple anxiety.

How about you try hypnotherapy? (sp?)

If you HAVE been abducted by aliens, you will find out when under hypnosis.

I actually don't recommend hypnosis. Many things have been 'recovered' during hypnotic regression that never actually happened. I don't feel hypnotic regression actually lends much credibility to any 'recovered memories'.
