I had an experience July 25, 2024
It was hot out that nigjt and I was having trouble sleeping it was 3 a.m. and my cpap mask was bothering me. I woke up and I saw a video projection as I was waking up. It could have passed for a dream if I wasn’t alert and fell back asleep. But I was alert and my eyes were open. It was confusing because it was in front of my face but possibly in my mind’s eye. idk how it did it because I could also see my bedroom behind and around it.
It was this cartoon jungle but that was just a false advertisement. There was a main character, it was a lion. I could feel this evil energy and darkness coming from it. It was visually appealing. It looked cheerful and like a happy, fun jungle. What an illusion!
When I focused on the lion character because it felt so alive it could not maintain the illusion. It started flickering between the lion and a green alien until it was just the alien. It looked like a typical grey alien but green.
Since I just fell asleep and woke up so quickly I had my wits about me and that is why I think it wasn’t able to trick me into trusting that this was some dreamscape. I can’t believe it was actually trying to trick my mind into thinking it was just a cute innocent cartoon video. Why?
The weird part was that minutes went by with my eyes open. It continued to appear before me even though I was awake. When it realized I could see it looked very annoyed and it left. Then I didn’t want to go to sleep after that.
I think this could be how they do screen memories. It’s like a literal screen playing something to you while they do whatever they want.
