Last night, i had a very weird dream of being abducted by aliens. First, I don’t usually remember my dreams, so why did I? And second, why does it have to involve aliens? As far as i know myself, i don’t believe that much in fantasy. I tend to be realistic most of the time. To keep it from bothering me, i decided to search the answers to my questions – hence i posted this blog entry.

On Alien Abductions

“If you dream you have been abducted by aliens this shows your fear of changing your surroundings or your deep seated fear of losing your home and family. To see aliens of any kind is bringing out your fears and must be correlated with the rest of the dream.”

On Abductions

“A dream about being abducted strongly indicates success for you against most opposition whether business or social. If you witness someone being abducted in your dreams then you can expect to get some unexpected news.”

On  Aliens

“If an alien enters your dream, it may imply that you are experiencing some difficulty in adjusting to some new environment or condition. A space alien might point to issues relating to your own boundaries and you may be feeling that your personal life is being invaded.”

On Sleep Paralysis

“Awareness during sleep paralysis is a common explanation for this confusion, most probably as abduction experiences and conscious sleep paralysis attacks often share many of the same features, such as waking whilst unable to move, feelings of fear, dread or unease and a feeling of pressure on the body. Normal sleep paralysis happens when the body enters the REM stage of the sleep cycle. The brain stem blocks movement signals that would normally travel from the brain to the muscles, probably to stop us carrying out the movements we dream about doing. The frightening aspect of this occurs when a sleeper awakens, becomes conscious, but who’s movement control is not reinstated by the brain. This state can also be accompanied by what are known as ‘hypnopompic’ hallucinations which occur naturally to many people whilst awakening. These hallucinations can take the form of voices, lights, figures or any number of strange bodily sensations. It is little wonder that when combined with fearful paralysis such uncanny experiences might be interpreted as alien in origin.”

So that’s it. Perhaps the abrupt changes which my body has undergone caused my alien abduction. I hope that next time I’d be able to reach their planet.
