The Fourth Kind.

So I just watched The Fourth Kind with my buddy Mike last night, and I don't know if all this was brought on by watching that movie and it's just all paranoia induced by the movie or if there was a real reason behind my uneasiness late last night.... but Mike was saying how he wasn't gonna be able to sleep after watching the movie, so I jokingly said "Awww.... does Mikey need someone to sleep over tonight?" And he was like "Yeah will you?" So I figured I'd do it, since I didn't wanna go back to my barracks room anyway.... so we went back to his place and chilled for a while, and watched The Covenant... then it was time to go to bed.... it was around 2 in the morning when I fell asleep, and then the weird stuff happened. I don't know if I was just dreaming and it was some kind of nightmare situation that was just inspired by the movie, but all I know is that it was all very, very weird.

In my supposed dream, I was awake the entire time and in the bed hearing all kinds of noises around me, doors opening and closing and random tapping noises...and then I felt someone bump into the foot of the bed, and all this time I wanted to open my eyes but I couldn't.... i was really scared in the supposed dream I was having.... and at one point I swear I heard a male voice saying something.... I couldn't make out what it was saying though. And then later I felt like someone was just looming over me watching me try to go to sleep..... And then I felt its presence on the right side of the bed, just sitting there laughing in amusement at my suffering.... It was starting to get difficult for me to breathe, so I finally opened my eyes and turned my head towards it to see what it was, but I couldn't see it because I couldn't turn my head far enough.... something was holding me back. I kept pushing and pushing trying to see what it was but I couldn't, and so I started shouting out at the top of my lungs, "Why can't I see you?!? Why can't I see you?!? What are you? Why can't I see you, dammit why!?!?!?" After a while I eventually gave up and just laid in bed waiting for the morning to come. And then something happened, I don't remember what exactly, but it woke me up for real....and as all of this was happening, it felt like hours had gone by... so I was expecting to wake up to sunlight and be alright.... but no. I woke up, and it was still dark. And something inside me told me that if I checked my cell phone, it would show that it was only 3:33.... and well I checked, and it WAS 3:33..... So all that time that I thought hours had gone by and it was the morning already, it had really only been about an hour and a half...

So I sat up in the bed, thought about things for a minute, and got up out of bed and walked over to Mike's room and woke him up.... and then I asked if I could sleep in his room for the rest of the night and I proceeded to explain to him what had happened and we were both pretty spooked. THe weird thing was, when we got back to his place earlier, I had a little flash vision that we would end up sleeping in the same bed.... and all that time I thought that he would end up asking me to sleep with him because he was too scared, but I guess it ended up being me. Idk, I just really did not feel right at all being out in the other room.... something just wasn't right about it all. So I felt a lot more secure in Mike's room. I woke up this morning with a swollen eye... And that's all for my little experience.

Reality...

An interesting video I found on Youtube that I think you should see.


This video in a way brings me back to my childhood. When I was a young boy, maybe around the age of 7 or 8, I recall always wondering "What if the lives we live from day to day are really just dreams, and we're in the 'real world' waiting to wake up and see what life in the real world is like?" I would always ask my teachers this every year in elementary school, and all they would ever tell me was that "We should live life to its fullest then, I guess, right?" That answer never satisfied me. And then it was the year 1999 and Hollywood came out with the hit movie The Matrix. I was just a boy of 10 at the time, so naturally I didn't quite have the interest in seeing this movie; In fact my parents would watch it from time to time, but I never sat around when it was playing. I did, however, manage to see The Thirteenth Floor with my family. While I didn't understand everything that was going on at the time, I was amazed when I watched that movie because I thought to myself, "This is EXACTLY what I've been thinking about!" I let it rest for a few years after that (I don't know why), but when I got a little older I decided to sit down and watch The Matrix. Upon viewing the film, I suddenly remembered my childhood and I remembered that I had been thinking of something like this since before the movie ever came out... It got me thinking, well if I'm not the only one who's been thinking this then there has to be some sort of truth to it all, doesn't there? And now in the height of my spiritual growth, I realize that I was most definitely not just a little kid with a big imagination. Somehow, as a little kid, I had that knowledge in me. And I realize now that everything is true. It might not be exactly true in the same way that I was thinking when I was a kid, but it is true. This life that we live from day to day, it's just a dream. And our real selves and our friends and family members who have all woken up into their real lives are waiting for us. Reality as we know it is most definitely not what it seems anymore.... we have all been living a dream, and everything we have grown up learning has trained us to stay asleep in this "dream world"..... but times are changing and more and more people are waking up into this realization.... it's time you woke up too.
