Some while ago I had a very strange experience…

… I hesitate to recall it here as I feel it might undermine my credibility on other issues but I will do so anyway:

I was asleep and dreamt of two aliens. They looked pretty much like bog standard culturally embedded greys: big heads, big eyes, small bodies, greyish skin. They said something to me in an alien tongue and then my head started hurting tremendously. I woke up. I suspected later that my mind was effected negatively by the incident. So not much to go on but personally, it remains a very vivid experience and an ongoing influence on my thinking.

There is the Reptoid Hypothesis:

“Icke proposes that an inter-dimensional race of reptilian beings called the Archons have hijacked the earth and are stopping humanity from realising its true potential.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Icke#Reptoid_hypothesis

It sounds a little far fetched. Icke’s reputation is not encouraging; he is not held in high regard. But it is one theory that fits with the facts of my personal incident.

I wonder what would motivate aliens to lead a hidden life on earth rather than remain on their home planet? It would only need one convincing photo to blow the conspiracy.

It takes 1 year at 1 constant 1G to accelerate to (close to) light speed. Another year to decelerate, so that is a minimum 4 year round trip time for any alien visitors. Unless the aliens have mastered FTL somehow?

Any thoughts / similar experiences?

Interesting experience you had. Do you feel your potential has decreased somehow since the incident? Have you looked up Fermi's paradox?

Reply to Alan I felt like I lost something; it hard to explain; my internal dialogue is quieter than I remember it before the incident.

Have you looked up Fermi's paradox?


Interesting. IMO the impracticable nature of interstellar travel explains why we are not overrun with aliens. Related:

'Various UFO conspiracy ideas have flourished on the internet and were frequently featured on Art Bell's program, Coast to Coast AM.[2] According to MUFON, the National Enquirer reported that a survey found 76% of participants felt the government was not revealing all it knew about UFOs, 54% thought UFOs definitely or probably existed, and 32% thought UFOs came from outer space'

Its quite surprising how much support for a UFO conspiracy there is amongst the general public. Too much watching Men In Black or something else at play?
