[The Mothman]

a bad nightmare can easily be scarier than anything you have ever experienced. Last night I had the worst one ever. I almost dont even want to post about it because I am trying to forget it. Heres a summary I wrote earlier.

"Last night i had the most terrifying nightmare of my entire life. It effected me in a way i cant really explain.
It was a dream within a dream, meaning in my dream i lied down in a bed and fell asleep, and started to dream.
I was in the middle of a large field, surrounded by forest. It nearly pitch black out. I started to notice a faint light deep in the woods. It slowly got brighter, as it was approaching the edge forest. Immediately i started to get an uneasy feeling as it got closer. The light reached the edge of the forest now and was in the field, about 200 feet away from me. I still couldnt make out what it was, but at this point I was very uneasy and worried, as it was clearly coming for me. As it approached me the light started to dim and i was able to make out what it was. A human sized, grey extra terrestrial creature, with facial features that resembled the aliens from the movie A Fire In The Sky. The alien came up to me and stopped a couple feet away from me, staring at me. At this point I was sitting down, paralyzed in fear, screaming and pleading for it to go away. When i got near enough to me, this overwhelming feeling washed over me that I am nearly unable to explain fully. It was so potent and real, unlike anything I had ever felt in a dream before. The best way I can explain it is the light at the end of the tunnel. It was sort of a warm, calming, yet unsettling feeling. What I think it would feel like right before you die. I knew the alien was imposing this feeling on me, and i knew it was not good. I knew If i succumbed to the feeling that something bad would happen, and I had to fight it. As i kept pleading for it to go away, it reached out its mangled, 3 fingered hand towards me. For some reason i reached my hand out as well to touch it, but was unable to. And then I woke up. I turned on the lights and was unable to go back to sleep for hours. I think something must have happened to me while I was sleeping, because the emotions of fear and the strange warm feeling of impending doom was so potent and strong. Today i feel strange, almost borderline schizophrenic, and I cant stop thinking about that fucking alien. Dreams are fucked up, i hope i never experience one like that again."


Any thoughts on this? a friend of mine said there is a theory that aliens contact people through their subconscious which almost seems viable considering how vivid this was. Any nightmares that have stuck with you like this? i wanna hear them.
