It's interesting, before I mustered up the courage to actually start 'researching' the greys (I used to believe there was a correlation between 'thinking' about them and the nightmares, not to mention, the obvious pictures I would come across the second I typed their name into Google stopped me before the first keystroke), I would have never guessed that there were people out there who have had 'positive' experiences with them, but, alas, there are. The vast majority of people's experiences that I have read, however, do fall under the 'negative' category, and a good chunk, even the majority, of people's 'encounters' with the greys seem to be in the dream state (or astral, if you prefer), with a much smaller amount of 'encounters' happening in the 'real world' (and I'm just referring to encounters with actual 'beings,' not simply UFO sightings, which is a topic of its own). But, even though the majority of encounters have been described as 'negative,' that doesn't mean we can totally discount the 'positive' encounters, because people do claim to have them. How can one 'group of beings' be so all over the place? Are there different factions of greys, some positive, some negative, not unlike
Homo sapiens?
So, that leads to the question - What are they exactly? Are they physical beings... interstellar/intergalactic 'travellers?' Are they time travellers? What about interdimensional beings? Astral entities? Or, are they simply archetypes - Pop culture 'icons,' where fantasy and 'reality' have collided and invaded the unsuspecting subconscious mind? Unfortunately, it's so hard to separate fact from fantasy because, in this case, at least, the qualitative far outweighs the quantitative.
What is it that I fear about them? There isn't a definitive answer to that question; there isn't 'one thing' or 'another' about them that I fear - This is why I categorize my fear as 'irrational,' a phobia, if you will. My nightmares are filled with 'greys,' and I understand that they are just nightmares, but that fear still crosses over into my waking life. Why? I don't know. Whether, or not, the greys are real, my fear of them
is real... very real. I think I would actually die if I were to see one in my waking life - My heart would stop and I would drop dead - That's just how afraid of them I am. No matter how hard I search I can't find the 'source' of that fear - It remains a mystery to me. But, I know that I am not alone, which has led me on the quest to find out 'Why?' - Obviously, as of yet, I have still not answered that question.
@Songbirds,
I can so relate to sleeping with the lights on! When I was between 8-10 years old, my mom bought me a bunk bed for when my friends slept over. I became so terrified of my 'nightmares' that I actually totally enclosed the bottom bunk with some blankets and slept with one of my brother's baseball bats lol.
I have never had any indication that my 'encounters' with the greys have been anything but nightmares. @Healingangelus, no, no scars lol. I have never even seen a UFO, which is odd, because I am
always looking 'up.' I do not believe that I have ever been abducted, or anything like that.
I always 'know' (sense) when I am going to have a nightmare about them... before I go to sleep I will start to get a 'panicked' feeling... my heart rate will increase and a feeling of pure dread will come over me. When I feel this way, I won't want to fall asleep, but I know that I have to, so I do, and I always wake up in the middle of the night/early morning from another 'grey' nightmare. I've tried searching for a correlation to something in my waking life, a 'trigger,' for the nightmares, but I couldn't find one. I can go for months without a nightmare, months without giving a 'grey' a single thought, but I will always 'know' when the nightmare is going to return.
I have had the 'typical' abduction dreams... the medical experiments, and so on... I've also had a lot of dreams where they're just in my room... these dreams have always felt negative... I feel negativity coming from them... hostility, aggression, maliciousness, etc...
from them. I have not had a single 'positive' or even 'neutral' encounter with them.
For those who have had their own 'encounters' (whether physical or dream state) with the greys, have you ever encountered other extraterrestrials? Twice I have 'woken up' (false awakenings) in my bed with a 'reptilian' (I hesitate to even call them that, as I would like to keep myself distanced from David Icke, et al.) on top of me. Scary as hell!
Some time ago, I was having a series of extraterrestrial dreams involving 'human-looking aliens.' It was around that time that I had a very strange 'abduction' dream... I was in the middle of a mundane, ordinary dream, when I was suddenly 'sucked up' into the air. I screamed that I did not want to go, and so on, and before I was 'abducted' I woke up in my bed.
This was not a false awakening... I was 100% awake. I woke up on my back (heart pounding) and rolled on to my right side to try and calm my heart down (think fetal position lol). My window is on my right side... it is huge and is covered with white blinds. At night, the white blinds are lit up like a drawing board by the moon, street lights, the bright winter sky, and so on.
As soon as I rolled on to my right side and looked at my window, I could see writing. Black writing. It wasn't any type of writing that I had ever seen before. It could have been scribbles, cuneiform... it could have been anything... I didn't recognize it. It was a few lines in length. Perplexed, I blinked a couple of times, thinking my eyes were playing tricks on me, when the weird writing morphed into calculus... now, I
know calculus. I am very good at calculus. Calculus is my language lol. But this, whatever this was that was written in a 'language' that I actually did know, was something completely new to me. A formula/equation that I did not recognize. I stared for a few seconds, afraid to move as I didn't want the writing to disappear. I should have written it down, but I didn't want to move. I tried my best to take a 'mental picture,' and then it faded away - A few long seconds, and then it was gone.
I have searched since then, trying to piece it back together, but to no avail. Sometimes I wonder if I let one of the greatest discoveries in history 'fade away...' but then I remember I'm not that important
Anyways, it appears I've opened up a can of worms in my own mind... As terrified as I am, my curiosity is starting to get the better of me. I guess this is the beginning of my search for answers.
Thank you, everyone, for all of your input and for sharing your personal stories... I truly, truly, truly appreciate it!
