I could see that as being a cause Charles for many cases, including dreams, drugs, mental disorders, etc. My experience happened during the summer months too, I just dont recall which month or year it was exactly . 1999 or 2000 I think it was.
I knew from the get-go that it wasn't a nightmare, so did my ex. I never slept on the couch but for some strange reason I remember getting very sleepy and had to lay down immediately. I was waiting for my ex to get home that night. We were dedicated Christians and didn't party so in this case drugs or alcohol wasn't a factor. As for my life today, an occasional beer or 2 is a very rare event. Drink one for me ay ? lol.
I wished I could say this was a nightmare but I can't . Both me and my ex were up that entire night after and the next day too wondering what had happened and both of us knowing something extraordinary did happen. I remember much more than she did for some odd reason. She knew then something happened but is now in denial.

I didn't drink or smoke pot when I was 8 years old either... ...never sleeping in the living room again... no sir... not in THIS house... Weird stuff usually happens when I'm by myself in this living room... when everyone else is asleep or in another room...

WE know things do go bump in the night (or day) we're just waiting for the rest of the world to admit it.

Weird stuff usually happens when I'm by myself in this living room... when everyone else is asleep or in another room... Ive known ever since I first read your post on Open Minds Forum about 3 years ago that your case was genuine Lorelei. I don't know how I know, I just do. I even replied to your post there then but you never came back on to see it. That goes for the other members here too,,,I just know ,,,somehow . As far as the home were now buying, I feel nothing is going to happen here. For some reason I dont feel they're going to come back. I hope Im right. I don't want no part of these things ever again unless it's for a very good reason.

I got into a big fight on another thread on the OMF with a couple of other members and I ran away with my tail between my legs cuz the moderator got on my butt and told me I wasn't allowed to type "~rolls eyes~" anymore because it made someone mad... ~rolls eyes~ ~smirk~ hehehehe but yea... I'm glad you believe me Cliff... sometimes I wonder whether it actually happened or not... I keep going back and forth on it... I also hope nothing weird happens in your new house... ~hugz~

WE know things do go bump in the night (or day) we're just waiting for the rest of the world to admit it. There's a guy who is the father of 2 of my grandchildren by the 1st name of Ray. He has allowed me to disclose his name before but til now I never have and still wont disclose his full name though he said I could because we have nothing to hide. He is one of the very few people I have discussed the "visit" with outside of the forums. Though he did believe me because he knows Im a man of my word, I could tell that he still had some doubts for awhile . We use to go fishing about every night. It was during the Perseid meteor shower one year that I took him out fishing at Lake Pomme De Terre and that's when we saw the ufo that I title "the perseid ufo". I don't remember exactly which year it was but have tried to estimate like most of the others that I didn't catalogue at first. After that happened he never doubted again. We have never gone back fishing since that time. It scared the **** out of both of us. There is nothing we could possibly have that could display that type of technology that I know of. If it is manmade, I hope it's on our side for sure but I still highly doubt that even today. This thing came out of space high up in the atmosphere, came down, quickly went right doing some major g's, and then went left, right, zig zagging several times back and forth covering alot of airspace and then went back into space at about the same point it came from very quickly. Ive never seen anything go that fast before or since and Ive seen meteors fly at fast rates . We couldn't load our tackle fast enough. To this day we both are still somewhat in shock over it but Ray knows for certain now that some strange things have happened around me. He and my daughter got a good look another night also at a huge aerial vehicle of some sort flying our direction while I was driving. I pulled over and got a good look at it also. Jo, I think the rest of the world is going to have to see it with their own eyes before they fully believe in this phenomena 100 %.

There is a 'theme' here in that they keep their toe in the door once they have abducted or appeared to someone..they repeat. Like once the bottle is uncorked you can't shove the genie back in. 3/4 of the world is blind to them..then there's us (and the other us's). They have shown themselves many times to you Cliff and Lois and most of us in one form or another..why? Because there's something in us that allows for acceptance of it? It's not blood type..it's not race..it's not height or coloring or age..the ONLY thing I can think of (that we all have in common here at least) is some psychic ability. What think you all?

We're all good at writing, we're all "creative" with writing, music, or visual art... we're all intelligent, we're all open minded and we've all had odd experiences...

Hi all! Just to throw something else into the mix with my observation about this, a little thought floated through my mind! There have been comments about an increase in abductions during the summer period - and what has crossed my mind is that is there a general increase in the amount of alcohol consumed during the summer (certainly over here, there is usually a higher proportion of people getting pulled for and charged with drunk-driving than at Christmas - to do with better weather & sitting outside in the pub garden or going out to country pubs). Could it be that with the state of mind already altered with alcohol they are more likely to remember something untoward having happened (as I'm sure one or ten of us here has woken up in the morning saying "Gee, just what did I get up to last night?? !!). And I suppose my other train of thought was that would the altered state of mind cause, or facilitate an episode of either lucid dreaming or, as Lorelei threw in the mix,sleep paralysis which then may lead to the fear factor and thus the imagination runs riot and then put any unusually occurring happening in this space?? Actually another thought - if the abductions increase in the summer time, are these repeat abductions of the same person(s) or new abductees (allied to people spending time out & about in the good weather) ?? And Jo - hell yeah girl ;D ;D ;D !!! Just because there are no letters after a persons name, never mistake that lack of formal qualification for a lack of knowledge !! My sister has 3 degrees (1 BA, 2 MA), but still has to look at the backs of her hands with her fingers outstretched & thumbs out at 90 degrees to see which one looks like the letter 'L' to tell her left or right!! Okay, brain starting to overload ;D ;D !!! TTFN! Take care, seek peace and SMILE! Charles That's an interesting question about whether alcohol has any effect on sleep paralysis or lucid dreaming. Alcohol and drugs can alter the mind to a certain degree so it could theoretically be a catalyst that could lead to an episode of lucid dreaming that could be mistaken for an abduction. It is also possible that alcohol could alter a person's mind to an extent that it might even make them more prone to an actual abduction...but would they remember it after wards. Would they believe that it happened? I seriously doubt it.

Yea... I dunno about alcohol and its effects on sleep paralysis and lucid dreams...
I've had sleep paralysis since I was 17 though- long before I was old enough to drink alcohol... and drinking is not something I do every day even now... I haven't had a drink in a week and a half now and it doesn't bother me... but then again I was taking lots of medicines for sleep and depression when I was a teenager too so... hmm...
When I was eight, I was not taking any medication nor had I been drinking alcohol...
It's definitely something I need to look up...

I can't find any articles on the net which contain information about alcohol and sleep paralysis... just lots of articles saying alcohol can cause insomnia- which is true.
I suppose alcohol could also affect sleep paralysis because sleep paralysis tends to happen with people when they experience a change in their sleep cycle or schedule- like someone who works the night shift and then switches to the day shift. I've noticed that I have it when I take naps more often than when I actually retire for the night... perhaps there is some sort of correlation there. ~shrug~

Before and during the time the visit happened I hadn't taken any meds either. I wouldn't even take so much as an aspirin unless my head was about to explode. It wasn't too long after it happened though that my health went south and I woke up in extreme agony unable to get out of bed. It was then , right after the visit happened, that I had to start taking meds,,,no choice,,,it was extremely bad ( the pain). Ive had no choice ever since.

I hardly ever drank but in my younger years I did every now and then. One night in my 20's during New Years Eve I got drunk so bad that Im almost certain I had alcohol poisoning after mixing all kinds of drinks. I remember laying there not being able to move while sleeping and my entire body was hurting from the sickness of alcohol. Im sure now that it was sleep paralysis but didn't realize it until y'all had mentioned it about a year ago and it got me to thinking . Since that time for at least the last 20 years or so, Ive brought New Years in sober . Kelly has never seen me drunk lol and probably never will. A beer or two on rare occasions,, but hardly ever. I just can't stomach it,,especially mixed with meds.

When you spend as long as I have speculating the topic of ufos and aliens , your mind has ask what if to hundreds of thoughts and ideas. I surprise myself sometimes when a new thought pops into my head.. ;D. as there could not be anymore on this subject, I have covered everything. At least I thought I had. ;D I know I make statements that seem unreal and crazy, but there is still more to come I bet. I would never tell any of what I have speculated on but the people here on this forum What do they want and why me? Is the most ask I believe. Those two may never be answers for. What a shame

I think many people here have had an abduction or in Lois case a CE3. Problem is a lot of the topics on this forum tend to be wind up conversations that go on for far too long. People also want to feel special with this or that special ability like every little thing that happens to them is somehow significant. In actuality, you may just be a specimen.
The whole sleep paralysis thing though is just a cover explanation. Admitting abductions would be admitting ET.

Hi all! Jo - I think you have something with the psychic ability bit. I do believe that everybody has the correct equipment locked up in their brain to open their psychic abilities, just not necessarily the right set of keys to open up ;D ! I think that we don't all show psychic powers - some do, some don't - but perhaps one of the keys is being open minded to those powers being there within us. It's almost like a journey on the right path at the right time for each one of us. All of us being unique yet complementing each other when put together in a framework of our common ground & interests !! Lois - you never sound crazy - so get that thought out of your head right away ! It may sound different to what some may have as their belief in things, but you have chosen to discuss it with us on here because you know it will be discussed & talked about by people who respect you and that which has surrounded you throughout your life !! I'd say it was a dead cert that you'll come up with more questions than any one of us (or maybe even collectively ;D ;D !!) can shake a stick at, let alone adequately answer ;D ;D !! u4p - yes, I think a large number of people here have had experiences of one sort or another and have found solace & understanding in a forum such as this where they may be disagreed with, but not belittled for what they say. I agree with you in that we all may be only specimens for aliens or whoever, but I must disagree with your point about the tiny little bits of information - I feel that they can be some of the most important bits as sometimes without them, the overall thing that happened cannot be adequately explained. Yes, when you have great lists of them they can seem unwieldy, but it's trawling through that which may pick up on a previously unnoticed link or correlation to an action. I understand what you say about sleep paralysis, but do remember it's not unique to paranormal realms. As for admitting abductions would be admitting ET - I'm with you totally on that one !! TTFN! Take care, seek peace and SMILE! Charles

There's also the fact that there are a lot of cases where a person is not abducted while sleeping. It usually involves a UFO incident (the stalking phase) before missing time.

That I am aware of..I've never had sleep paralysis so I can't really relate to it, but I'm positive it would be terrifying. I did come away from my 'encounter' with another glitch. I'm very hard to keep anesthetized. I pop out of it much quicker than normal and struggle with it. 3 times I've had to be knocked out..for major surgeries and each time I've woken up at least an hour before normal and with bruises on my face. I have no other explanation than the time on their table, unable to move, imprinted in a bad way. I turn into a monster if someone tries to hold me down. UFO 4 peace..I don't think anyone here wants to feel 'special' because of any of this. It IS a relief to have others to share it with who understand it and the DRIVE to try and understand it. You have an interest in UFO's (obviously) but you can't really relate to someone who's had some encounter with something so undefined. No one to tell you how you should feel as in a human kidnapping, rape or other trauma. There isn't the added spur of having no real definition of what you've encountered. I guess what I'm saying is..that until you've had their freakin cold clammy hands on you or felt them choking off your brain causing throbbing pain worse than any migraine..invading with medical instruments you cannot define, taking chunks out of your skin and even causing lasting damage to the body....how could you possibly understand what we cannot? You think we belabor these things out of some need to feel special..when all we are hoping for is for someone to have an actual answer we can accept. By saying what we feel or how we feel or what changes we've discovered..we add to a data base that maybe some day will be helpful to someone else. 'shrug'

I love you too... ~hugzzzzzzz~ I also have trouble with anesthesia, ever since my first surgery when I was three to have my eyes straightened... and my second surgery for having my tonsils taken out at the age of four. I was always told it was because I was a red-head though. Apparently new research suggests that red-heads are more difficult to anesthetize and have a much higher pain tolerance than other people... ~shrug~ I woke up from the anesthesia when I was 17 when they were drilling out all four of my impacted wisdom teeth and I was wide awake when they drilled out the lower right one before they put me out again- of course they tried to deny it when I came to and told me I was dreaming... ~rolls eyes~ Lois, I agree with Charles. You're not crazy. ~hugggzzzzz to Lois too~

I know that I have ranted many of the same things over and over, but Ive felt here and there that I have left small minute details out as well. It isn't because I feel special, I don't . I feel like a victim of something very odd and unknown . I guess part of why I talk about it over and over is for some type of therapy perhaps, because I cannot talk about it much within the general population ; they don't understand. The main reason I do it though is because like Jo said : Precisely why ! I know there are many who have not come forward. If this helps them to understand what they're dealing with, it's worth all of it. I'm sure it's sadly safe to say that this will happen to many more in the future.

All of us being unique yet complementing each other when put together in a framework of our common ground & interests !! You said it Charles What I was trying to get across in my post above. Set of keys, the aliens may have that set, is what I meant. But why would they help some and not others to achieve such a thing. What would it matter? A four and five year old with dreams about the coming day. That was me .. Once I woke and took my Mother outside and showed her where my brother had lost a silver dollar. I told her in the dream the silver dollar was under the only red leaf in the pile. Right down to the letter. all brown leaves and one giant orange and red maple leaf was sitting on top this pile of leaves. She pick the red leaf up and was amazed. I did it all the time.. Now why would that have any use to a alien race. It would surely be something our science research would have to work at for many years to come to understand . why the mind dreams true events, but many times a thought would come while awake.... a few minutes just prior to the event. ..My Mom would say "how did you know that?" I would tell her I did not know. Which was honest truth. ;D

What a shame I have often wondered if the psychic abilities and other unusual mental abilities people have are a result of the abductions. Or if maybe the psychic things are what attracted them in the first place. Maybe a combination of the two. Perhaps they seek out people who have those types of abilities and then enhance them for some reason or another. It seems that a lot of abductees have these things in common. My best friend who was with me when I had my first abduction experience came from a family that also had a history of unusual mental abilities. His older brother was a mathematical genius with a brain like a calculator. He was valedictorian of the high school. My friend's sister was also extremely intelligent and ended up being the salutatorian. My friend himself shares some of the same psychic abilities that I have although not quite as pronounced. It's no wonder we both got zapped at the same time.

There's already enough to put a motive together or paint a picture of what is going on. Enough abductees have come forward with tales of observing alien-human hybrid. So procreation seems to be a big motivator by the aliens. We know what types of craft the beings fly too that are reported in abductions and close encounters. Disc, cigar-shape, elliptical.

Well I should have recognized 'kindrid' spirit Lorelei..I'm a redhead too..or I should say used to be..it's settled into it's version of grey which is some variety of blonde. About the time my friend and I went riding and encountered the little devils..I was very chestnut headed. My dad (who bred and raced horses) always had sorrel or chestnut horses for me because I matched them. To me..this was hideously boring and I'd have settled for ANY other color Maybe the perverse little beasties like red heads. I hadn't heard that about anesthesia and redheads..but I do think I've read something about them being more psychically 'bent'.

In English folklore, redheads were always suspected of being witches... redheads still suffer ridicule and torment in small villages in the UK because of this ancient belief- there just might be some truth to it (correct me if I'm wrong Charles, I am simply repeating word of mouth... ) My father's hair also was "some variety of blonde" for many years after his mid forties. It became more and more blonde as he grew older and now it is sheer white. I know EXACTLY what you mean by that Jo... he was a redhead too. I'm a ginger in disguise. If I spent more time in the sun (and I did when I lived in the South for a brief time) my hair would turn bright red and I would be dotted with freckles all over (just like dad). But- as you have seen from my facebook profile photo, you can't really tell it now because I avoid the sun... working the night shift for too many years and living in the arctic will do that to you. My hair appears more auburn from a distance- the Korean lady who does my eyebrows has a fit every time I come in to see her because my hair actually grows in three different colors... and white blonde is one of them lol... she gets out the tweezers and squints up in my face and gets all kinds of flustered with me... she says she has NEVER worked on ANYONE with natural multi-colored hair and the hard to see white blonde hairs annoy her to no end... (most women would KILL to have hair like mine and not have to get it professionally done in a salon... ) When I was 17 I had to go into the hospital for pelvic surgery to remove growths from my uterus. I have Endometriosis you see... non malignant growths. I was extremely nervous when I went in and the nurses recognized my behavior (telling jokes and acting like a stand-up comedian and having the nurses in stitches... it's what I do when I'm scared...) and gave me a Valium... They then sent me to the operating room (which was unusual because it was just me and one nurse in the little room... I think they did it that way because of the state I was in...). I was lying on the table hooked up to the heart monitor hearing it making its steady BEEP........BEEP.......BEEP........ and the nurse was telling me about her daughter and how her daughter was a cheerleader at my high school ( ) and all kinds of boring stuff like that... when all of a sudden I heard the heart monitor beep rapidly about five times then it went back to its normal rhythm. I didn't feel anything but I heard the monitor and it startled me. I opened my mouth to ask her about it, turned my head and saw that she was pulling a syringe out of my IV port... It hit me less than a second after I saw what she had done. The room immediately tilted and I was immediately stoned out of my mind... I sat up, grasped her wrist with my right hand with my eyes rolling around in my head, finally focused my eyes on her and said sincerely, "Warn me next time ya do that, mmmkay?" The nurse gaped at me with her mouth open, looked down at the empty syringe in her other hand, stared at it, then stared at me, narrowed her eyes and exclaimed, "Are you awake?!" Nah lady I'm sound asleep... lol... I laughed at her in response... a giddy stoned person laugh and I laid back down because the room was spinning. I was totally messed up but I wasn't asleep... The nurse was confused, told me to lie still until she got back and rushed out of the room. She came back in a short time later with the little short Asian man who had introduced himself to me earlier in pre-op as the anesthesiologist... He walked into the room first, she was right behind him and he immediately told her with his Asian accent, "I can tell you what the problem is right now just by looking at her." "What?" the nurse asked. "Look at her hair!" he replied matter-of-factly as though it were obvious. "What about it?" the nurse inquired. "What color is it?" he asked her. "Brown," the nurse replied. "No!" he said, "It's RED! You have to give her more juice!" and he chuckled and left the room, the nurse followed him. That's the only reason why I know about this Jo... because of that incident. It also provoked me to look it up on the internet later on only to discover it is true. Every anesthesiologist knows this... they just don't tell people I guess...

Yes..they used to remark on it when my father would take me in for 'perms' (so he wouldn't have to deal with tangles) that my hair wasn't one color but several different shades making up the red it was. I guess by some standards..I am a witch. My daughter calls herself one but I moderated it to being a Christian witch because I do believe in God and his kid. I do find that weird about the anesthesia..hope some day to understand why and I have to go that again soon for my gallbladder. ;D

I'm wondering if the nurse even comprehended that you had grabbed her wrist.

Jo, I wish you all the best of luck. I hope everything turns out for the best... ~hugzz~
JC, I dunno, she probably did. I wasn't doing it to be aggressive, it was more for... well... stability I suppose... ;D
