As a child, I often had very realistic dreams. Rather, now I already understand that these were not dreams, but a different reality that somehow penetrated and intersected with our world. I'll tell you about sleepwalking and nocturnal adventures in a sleepy or half-asleep state sometime next time. This is a topic for a separate story.
Such a feature of my psyche, naturally, did not please my relatives, but they were not going to treat it with the help of specialists. On the contrary, stories about strange visions were perceived aggressively and with hostility, it was believed that I was inventing everything in order to attract attention to myself.
One day I woke up in the middle of the night. I was perfectly aware of myself: when I opened my eyes, in front of me was the familiar interior of the room. The only thing that stood out from the general recognizable picture was a huge creature of unknown origin.
I'll try to describe the monster: it was about the size of a large tea saucer and had an uncountable number of legs. I would say it was a spider, but arthropods have a head. This strange animal did not have it. Imagine: a round monster, red in color, with many disgusting hairy paws. It was impossible to understand where his back was and where the front was. The legs were attached to the body in a strange way too. I would compare them to the "paws" of a flying saucer, as they are usually depicted in pictures. The creature did not move. It just sat on the closet door, only occasionally lifted one or the other paw.
The spider, let's call it that, resembled a confused lunar rover that first appeared on an unfamiliar planet. This comparison will be the most accurate.
I got out of bed and walked closer. Underfoot - the usual pile of a prickly woolen "path", a chill runs through the body, as usually happens when you get out of a warm bed. I was terrified of the creature, but I was even more afraid that if I lay back, it would jump on me. I tried to drive the creature away, but it only touched its paws and did not move. Hysterics grabbed me tenaciously by the throat, I started screaming. Mother woke up, with whom we slept in the same room. I began to explain that I saw a monster. She advised me to turn on the light. I obeyed and rushed to the switch. To do this, you had to turn your back on the monster. The dim light of a forty-watt bulb flashed on, and I turned to the cupboard. The creature slowly faded into space as the darkness receded.
I was shaking. I understood that this was not a dream. Here it is, the light of a dim chandelier, here is a familiar picture of the room. The spider didn't even dissolve, it was drawn into the texture of the cabinet. Becomes one with him. It lasted less than a minute, believe me, I describe what happened longer. My heart was pounding. Mother, dubiously looked around the casement and saw nothing. As always, it seemed to her that I was making up. She told me not to yell and go to bed.
The rest of the night I was afraid to close my eyes: it seemed that as soon as I fell asleep, everything would be repeated all over again. But that night nothing else happened.
Promotional video:
The appearance of a strange "alien", which then "merged" with the surface of the cabinet was not the only one. Later, I saw frightening creatures more than once.
As an adult, I became seriously interested in the problem of such "visions". And with the development of the Internet, it has become even easier. On numerous forums and entertainment portals, I look for such cases with manic persistence and try to systematize them.
One thing I understood for sure - everything that happens at this moment, and all creatures are real. They are not the product of dreams or of a raging imagination. At this moment we are NOT SLEEPING, but awake. And we wake up precisely from the fact that someone entered our world. Moreover, I can tell you, most often people see just such "spider-like" monsters. What is the reason, I do not know.
A good friend called me recently. She was literally shaking with horror. Please note, she is an adult lady, well over forty. Natasha said that last night she saw a "spider" sitting on the bedside table. She described it in detail: on high translucent legs, like an anopheles mosquito, and legs like blood streaks.
Further from her face: “I’m so loud: what nonsense !? She jumped out of bed, thinking that she was dreaming. Not! Jumps on the table, such an infection. On the table is everything that I put in the evening. A mug of tea, telephones, an ashtray, cigarettes. And I'm looking for something to swat the abomination. Sorry for the phone - I'll break it. And he still jumps. She waved her hand, and this malaria spider jumped under the table. I looked in, and he seemed to dissolve into the floor. I could not sleep until morning. I got up, smoked, looked under all the things in the room, under which he could hide, although with my own eyes I saw how it merges with the laminate."
If before Natalia's story I could still doubt the veracity of Internet tales and the reality of my visions, then I believe my friend. She will not invent! For especially distrustful readers, I will note that Natalia does not drink, and does not use anything other than tobacco in cigarettes.
Her story fits perfectly into my concept, which I have built over the years. It consists in this: the spider-like monsters that come at night actually exist. Only not in ours, but in another, parallel space. They live peacefully next to us, invisible to the eye. And, I must say, thank God that we do not see them every day.
Why they take on such a strange appearance - all kinds of creatures that look like spiders - I don't know. I cannot find an explanation for this yet. Maybe - this is a separate form of life and it looks like that. There, in a parallel space, they are the main ones, and the world belongs to them. Perhaps there are no people in their universe. At some point, the program crashes and our worlds intersect.
I also have one more explanation: not everyone can see mysterious spiders, but only those who have the ability to feel other vibrations. My friend and I fall into this category.
But all the same, I have more questions than answers: what if they do come to our world consciously? If so, what can stop them when they want to live with us!
