It is not a person, but rather a sort of strange looking entity that takes on several different forms. Every time I encounter it I seem to enter a sort of paralysis feeling, ranging from just numbness to full on sleep paralysis. I have see this entity on about 4 separate occasions, each with at least several months between. The first 3 times I encountered it, it took the form of the following in order:
a sort of black hooded figure with a strange mask. The mask had random markings with the main colors being white and red
a wendigo type creature enveloped in natural vines and darkness, with the head of a cow skull
pure blackness
The most recent encounter was a few days ago when I achieved my first WILD lucid dream using the LOVE technique. After going through hypnogogia for a while, I started to relax and fall asleep when I was suddenly awoken by a clap of thunder (it was about to rain that night). I saw this dark, humanoid figure standing at my window at the foot of my bed. The only visible feature was its glowing white eyes that formed two small circles in its head region. After half a second of eye contact, the creature jumped at me with its right hand first. Upon closer examination, it was as thin as paper. Where one would expect skin or some sort of texture was the blackness of space, coupled with visible stars. It was as if a portal gained sentience. It enveloped my entire body and I entered into a dream with compete consciousness. Much like the rest of the encounters, I felt that same numbness as I floated through space.
If people are interested I can explain the rest of the dream, but essentially this entity seems to reoccur in my dreams. An important note is that I am not fearful of this entity, even in my dreams with the exception of the third encounter. I am usually fairly apathetic or on autopilot in my dreams, which is one of my dream signs. In the first three encounters, these resulted in a sleep paralysis that I was able to escape by really trying to get up despite how heavy I felt. This last one was much different it seems.
Does anyone else has a similar experience? I’m not sure how to treat or interact with this entity or if it appears with pure coincidence. Usually it’s appearance (it could be in the background or randomly appear as a dream character) results in a complete end in the dream, with my attention suddenly focused on it until I go into sleep paralysis. So far it’s appearance is completely random with not much adherence to a theme. I’m interested to see if anyone has something like this happen to them.
Interesting! It could be that it ends the dream because you have intense emotions that wake you up… as it’s a part of your consciousness, if you get lucid next time you see it, talk to it, ask it some questions!
