Debra Jordan Kauble (Experiencer) On June 30, 1983, Debra Jordan Kauble walked into her family's garage outside Indianapolis and encountered something she has spent four decades trying to understand. She describes lasting physical effects afterward, a ring-shaped mark that remained in the yard for nearly five years, and the sudden decline and death of her dog.

Her account became the subject of Budd Hopkins' international bestseller Intruders: The Incredible Visitations at Copley Woods, which CBS adapted as a 1992 miniseries starring Mare Winningham. She appeared in the book under a pseudonym to protect her young sons and revealed her identity in 1992. With her sister Kathy Mitchell she went on to co-write Abducted! The Story of the Intruders Continues, telling it in their own words rather than an investigator's. She is one of the longest-serving voices in the experiencer community and a featured subject in the documentary. Her site: https://www.debshome.com/

New Redditors stopping by: How not to get banned and why we do what we do in this community.

Upvotes

Firstly, Hello! Welcome to the community! I'm glad you found us!

We knew exactly what we were doing when we launched this place. It is working just as indented and growing just as expected.

The goal is very simple. The Experiencer Phenomenon is real but most of society has not caught up to this fact yet. It is a heavy burden to carry for anyone to go through such events in their life while being actively discouraged from speaking about them due to the social stigma and shame that comes with that. A lot of trauma and stress can come with having to bury these experiences and having no one to talk to.

We are a social species. Sharing and talking is how we process and deal with things. Thankfully there are many private Experiencer support groups popping up all over the net more and more.

But there also needs to be online spaces where someone can still be anonymous. Not have to join a private group or pay money for 1 to 1 sessions. But instead just be able to share that life changing experience they had. Get it off their chest after decades or burying it. There are also those who are fresh from having an ontologically shocking experience that could do with somewhere to go, discuss it with others and so forth. This can do a world of good for people suffering in silence with regards to their experiences. Someone could have the most beautiful and profoundly transformative life changing experience and still suffer due to not being able to discuss it with anyone without ridicule or social consequences.

We already achieved this in private communities and saw the benefit. But with r/Experiencers I strongly felt it was time to try this in a public setting. People can share and others can also read these encounters people are having. Many lurking and reading are experiencers too. One day while lurking...BOOM they're reading how someone else has had an encounter just like theirs that they had years ago and buried. Suddenly they're validated by something they read on here. Next thing they know they are commenting and sharing themselves in that thread. Something they never thought they could do. Now the ex lurker and the OP are both getting validation. Both Experiencers lives have been changed for the better. And others who may read that same thread.

The is a major positive ripple effect of healing that is going on here constantly by allowing these discussions to happen in a public setting. There is a LOT going on behind the scenes as a result of this space too.

Experiencers know how out there their encounters sound on paper. Before they post, they've already got a million voices in their head simulating the toxic comments people might leave for sharing what happened to them. They also are wary of being anywhere near any of these dark conspiratorial corners of the internet and don't want to be associated with that stuff. People deserve a space to share without being called names and without someone trying to indoctrinate them into XYZ dark conspiracy that is currently trendy on 4chan, or get swamped by debunkers or people with fundamentalist religious views. There are plenty of other communities out there that are like that.

There needs to be a public space that is neutral and middle path and primarily all about experience sharing and that's it. No other baggage attached.

This is the goal. It is a very very specific goal. But very challenging in a public setting. We knew from day 1 that to pull this off it would require heavy heavy moderation. And we knew that some people won't understand or like that at all.

Basically, we are providing a public space to share experiences where those sharing won't be subjected to the usual crappy comments that flood social media. There are plenty of other subreddits that run very strict rules on how the comment section works. Its not unheard of to have a heavily moderated comment section on reddit. The goal we have in place is important and helps people. We're not going to soften on how we manage the comment section for others who cannot see the bigger picture here.

We've stuck to our guns and won't give an inch. And this community is a major success as a result. It is working as intended.

We've also added even more rules and a user agreement recently in order to protect this space and keep this place running : https://www.reddit.com/r/Experiencers/comments/14y2xgm/we_have_a_new_user_agreement_please_read/

To Random Redditors :

Respect this space and what we are doing. Now that we're getting bigger - more and more random people are stopping by, who are used to leaving drive by insulting or dismissive comments on reddit and then move on to next sub to try and be witty or do the same. Rinse repeat.

Experiencers don't need to be reading this stuff. This type of low quality content will be removed on the spot. The redditor in question may even be banned instantly. We are going to be very very strict on things like this. Experiencers already know what random redditors think of this phenomenon. If they wanted to read low quality remarks they could go to the many of the other subs out there.

It is cool to ask questions and be curious but do not put an experiencer in a position where they have to justify themselves or defend their encounters to people. It's a big deal for people to finally type up an encounter and I don't want to see them then having to defend themselves in the comments.

Obviously if someone calls the OP names or make derogatory comments on experiencers in general its an instant ban. This is the basics.

When it comes to random drive by redditors who leave crappy remarks we'll hand out bans like speeding tickets at the Indy 500.

Sometimes we get someone who after a ban takes a moment to learn what the sub is about. What we're doing here. And the importance of it. They reach out to the team with deep apologies and we discuss removing the ban. But seriously. We shoot first ask questions later here when it comes to comments like this. Don't test us.

For Experiencers :

We generally moderate by engagement in the comments. We don't like having to ban experiencers from the sub and its something we'll rarely do.

We get an outpouring of gratitude and encouragement with regards to what we do as mods for this community daily. So I want to make it very clear the huge huge majority of people in this community understand what we are doing here and the importance of why we run it as we do.

It's rare, but every now and then we get someone who loves this place, but complains that its not run the way "they" think it should be.

From someone complaining that by allowing discussion of Mantis beings or dream contact events or telepathic encounters. Or CE5. We do a disservice to "real" experiencers.

Some people are new to this phenomenon and don't understand the scope of what others can go through. As a result they can be judgmental to their fellow experiencers at first. These people learn in time.

We keep a balanced neutral and middle path approach here for good reason.

We moderate those trying to convert other experiencers to a specific dogmatic dark belief system. We have had the odd experiencer complain to us that we don't allow for this. And we do have to sometimes ban people who continue to keep trying to force their dark hopeless dogma on people in here.

Look - there are plenty of subs out there dedicated to those narratives. Experiencers deserve a neutral middle ground space where they can share an experience without having someone try to indoctrinate them into their dark world view.

Attempts to force extreme religious views onto experiencers is another thing we have to moderate. This is not the place for that. Do not come in here trying to convert people. This is not the place to be telling everyone they're evil and talking to "Demons" or "Djinn" either. I can't be any clearer.

Recently someone complained that we should allow a free for all on "ends times" discussion and that by moderating such discussions and others that some how that makes this place a cult with a toxic culture. I mean for feck sake...

Look experiencers are sometimes given communications about various future disasters. It is a part of the phenomenon. But when looking into this its clear its filled with false predictions and massive contradictions. I'm not denying the reality that these communications can happen. But Experiencers deserve a place to share without having people try to convert them into an end times movement in the comments section so I'm sorry but for this and all other major narratives we seek to provide a balanced non toxic space for people to share.

Another issue is the ALL non humans are evil crowd trying to convince any and everyone that all NHI's ET's etc are evil. These are folks that sometimes clash with mods as well.

The experiencer and the ET topic is incredibly nuanced - massive generalizations and authoritative opinions are heavily discouraged here. This also goes for people victim blaming those who have had negative encounters by implying all beings are positive and they just manifested the negative encounter. Or that all they have to do is think positive thoughts and ET abductions will end.

Authoritative generalized opinions from experiencers is something we have to moderate. Some people are too quick to spread narrow views or accidently spread propaganda or just random fear based things they've read online. And spew them out to someone who's just freshly had an experience of some kind and just needed to get it out of their system.

We don't deny the dark side of the experiencer phenomenon here. But we don't condone unnecessarily generating mindless fear regarding anything and everything going on with the phenomenon. Be it spirits - premonitions - NDE's - ET contact - astral projecting etc. Indeed fear weakens us and makes dealing with these unknowns harder and disempowering. We need to be vigilant and balanced with our approach to these things.

Lastly. We had an experiencer recently run into trouble by constantly asking community members for evidence of their encounters after they'd shared. Which goes against our rules. They strongly believed asking for evidence was not de-legitimizing the persons experience. The people felt different and so did the mods. However this person argued that there needs to be a space where Experiencers can question each others evidence in the comments. I suggested that while there may be, it is not here and would go against the mission we have for this place but.. he is welcome to create is own space - with his theme in mind.

Sure enough he did. And that's awesome.

My point is. Some experiencers may find us here and fall in love but feel disappointed they can't chat about a specific thing that goes against our rules. We encourage such folks to make their own community. We have a very specific goal with ours and that does mean heavy limitations in the comments. Complaints about how we do things won't work. We won't give an inch.But if what we've done here can inspire other Experiencer friendly communities to be formed that have different goals with regards to the discussions being had. That's brilliant. The more spaces for Experiencers the better. This is also part of the mission.

We do what we do here and do it very specifically because it is needed. There were no public spaces like this on reddit before. And just sharing does a world of difference for people. That is the mission. The fact that this place now exists it means now others can too that do things their own way. Since we have this side of it covered.

This community is here for people to be able to finally share an experience and read about other experiences and discuss them in the comments, without toxicity. And that's it. This is a huge amount of work in itself. And we're doing our job as planned. A space like this was very much needed and we've provided it and will continue to provide it. People message us all the time about how long they've searched for such a space. Where they can share and talk about the Experiencer phenomenon where its neutral and middle path and without all the other baggage. They share how finding this space has helped them deal with all they've gone through.

We know ourselves how much this is needed as all of us involved in running this space are Experiencers too and have benefited from having such middle path communities to discuss this phenomenon in.

We know what we are doing and won't be budging from our mission and goal here with this space.

Thank you to this wonderful community. It always touches my heart to read the supportive and helpful comments from Experiencers here in the comment section in reply to someone going through the shock of engaging with this phenomenon and having their world turned upside down.

More and more people are going to be waking up to this world and its Experiencers in the end whole be there for them. We're all playing a major part in what is to come for our species. The world won't be able to ignore this stuff forever.

Experiencers are on the right side of history.

Discussion For the last 3 weeks, every clear night I’ve seen something unusual in the sky. Anyone else?

Post image
Upvotes

I live in a quiet rural part of Britain with big open skies and I go out walking most nights, so Im very familiar with what the normal night sky looks like. I can recognise satellites, aircraft, meteors, stars and constellations.

But for roughly the last three weeks, every clear night I’ve been out I’ve seen things I can’t account for.

There's big glowing orbs of light. Extremely bright objects that flare up, dim down and sometimes fade out completely.

Lights moving steadily across the sky and then changing direction. Others moving into a position and simply stopping there, sometimes remaining stationary for a very long time. Then a few mins later another will join it and stay put, then later another joins and they can stay there for the rest of the time I'm out.

I’ve also seen clearly defined glowing triangular objects, including bright red ones 🔺, and some very strange dark or shadowy objects that whip across the sky, fade in and out, and then disappear. That last type is completely new to me.

Some nights I’ll only see two or three unusual things. Other nights it’s six, seven, eight or more.

It’s happening so regularly now that I just expect it when I go out and the sky's clear.

It doesn't even surprise me anymore. I wave at them though. It never hurts to be polite. 👽👋

Has anyone else who spends a lot of time looking at the night sky noticed a genuine increase in unusual activity over the last few weeks?

(Hope you don't mind AI pics here. It just reminded me of that famous 16th century German news article illustration and thought it looked cool, and it illustrates the shadowy objects really well)

Discussion Is it time for real disclosure?

Post image
Upvotes

Hi r/Experiencers — I'm Dean Alioto, filmmaker and UAP researcher. Would love to get your take on this...

After multiple years of congressional hearings on UAPs, and the grand presentation of murky inconclusive evidence, one might argue "disclosure" has reached its revelatory zenith. Even if we do see 100% glorious 4k footage of craft with rivets, warts, and all, does that push the needle above the red zone?

Will we be satiated to the point of a resounding "hell yeah!"? Since the U.S. gov doesn't appear to want to display "downed crafts", to insure they have the market cornered on such advanced technology, the next best thing is (perhaps) seeing bodies of nonhuman intelligence. But, alas, since the gov/DOD turns everything advanced into their IP, I'm struggling here to imagine a public presentation of said NHI bodies.

So... where do we go from here? Is it time to pack in the UAP hearings waiting-in-line lounge chairs and rejoice at the significant historical gov recognition of UAPs and NHI beings? Where do we progress to?

Here's what I think... No more talking about the elephant's tail in the room. It's time to reveal the entire elephant in the (congressional) room. If I wanted to know what storming Normandy beach was like during WW II, I'm not going to go to the generals. I'm going to ask the soldiers who had to burst out of the u-boats, wade through waves and bullets, and come face-to-face with the enemy. Up close and personal.

I'm not saying NHI's are enemies here, but the Experiencers are the equivalent of those boots-on-the-ground soldiers -- unless you believe the NHIs just passively stay inside their crafts with their doors locked and never interact with us except to hit the drive-thru at In-N-Out Burger.

But here's the big fat rub: How does the gov come out and say "we'll give amnesty to all those in 'the program' that knew about interactions (some forced) with NHIs (according to a Pew Poll in 1992, one in fifty have signs of interacting with NHI). Oh, and BTW there's absolutely nothing we the government can do about it." That's a speed bump that no matter how slow you go over it, is going to shake you outta the car, or UAP.

I've spent the last 8 years working on documentaries, interviewing nearly 100 academics and Experiencers for hours around the world regarding the Experiencer phenomenon -- including Jeff Nuccetelli who told me it's time for the Experiencers to have a seat in hearings -- and the one thing I've learned over and over again is that those chosen by the NHIs need to be acknowledged, heard, and appreciated.

After we're done looking under the engine hood, kicking the tire of the nuts and bolts UAPs, the Experiencers will still be here. Still have more insight into the phenomenon than anything conveyed in a SCIF by a military officer with the highest clearance level.

I'm here to challenge the boundaries of perception and introduce a new level of critical thinking regarding the phenomenon, and to make space for those who have repeatedly had full disclosure for years.

I'd love to hear from this community:

- What do YOU think comes next for disclosure?

- What are the congressional hearings getting right, and what are they missing entirely?

- Have you had your own experiences that you feel aren't being represented in the public conversation?

For those curious about my work, I've just released a documentary that puts Experiencers front and center. The Experiencers: Full Disclosure

Peace,

Dean

Discussion They've been selling the same "story" so why do YOU trust them ?

Upvotes

To those of you who have day to day or periods of experiences, why do you trust "The Visitors" à la "The Others" ?

seems like they just take what they need from you but don't offer anything in return other than cryptic messages and very little to no intervention in your lives? why do you trust them ? they sold the whole "your planet is in the process of being doomed by your own people's actions" back in the 1980s' yet, they don't appear before political officials to change their nature so what gives? I don't mean to sound negative I really don't but I don't understand why we as beings (as people) should feel compelled to trust these sentiences in order to bring us forward (spiritually) if they're not upfront about their own personal goals which I assume they do have

If it's okay to ask, why do YOU feel like you can trust them?

So the same way Chris bledso and others have said they've seen a lady. I assume it's the same one? I'm not sure they don't really like let you interview them when this happens. It's kind of like when it happens. It's done like you've already submitted your intention for your question and then it's gone and when it's over you get an unpack. Everything that kind of happened. It's hard for feeble human minds from what I'm gathering. But the interesting part of this is the entire time. I've always viewed art and colors to get them to blend is the same way I was able to manifest this happening and that's beautiful. I love that! That is so cool and how how it was explained to me. All of this is just wrapping up until like one compliment after another and it just compliments itself over and over. It's so hard to extrapolate into words

Dream State Uh-oh - any one else feel they got 'called out' in a dream last night?

Upvotes

Having been feeling quite put-upon by Reality lately and in a foul mood, I noticed yesterday while perusing YouTube that Strieber had released a new podcast episode (I haven't personally seen/heard any of those, so was bemused to see it presented in my feed). Annoyed by what the title implied (something to the effect that he had a message from the Visitors, who were angry at us or some such), I'd sneered upon seeing it, in a "What right do they have to be angry at anyone stuck being embodied down here, with the state of this world right now, and especially considering the Unpleasant NHI 'modus operundi' reported by some Experiencers!" manner. (Needless to say, I didn't watch it but just moved on.)

Then I woke up early this morning from a 'school anxiety' dream - you know the type - you find yourself seemingly back in high school or Uni, in a classroom, horrified, as you've not studied for the Big Exam, or not done enough (or any!) of the work that would ensure that you didn't ‘flunk'...

I woke from that dream feeling very abashed at the fact that I'd not done ANY of the homework assignments for the dream class. The kicker was, it wasn't because I hadn't cared about the class, or that the individual assignments themselves had each been much of a challenge  - I'd simply been too distracted by the gleeful prospect of having a chance to thwart and sneer at our Esteemed U.S. President (D.J.T.). You know: feeling like a brave and clever member of some resistance group or something.

Anyway, I lay there in that not-fully-awake-yet, drowsy state, thinking about that Weird dream...and as one does sometimes, got that creepy feeling that not only was that dream not just 'random nonsense' (as some so dismissively label dreams); it had been a Pointed Message - which was still ongoing.

Half-awake as I was, I kind of went Eep! Internally. By the time I’d completely woken up, I came away with a sense that the gist of the follow-up ‘message’ was a tart: “You know, it’s hard to completely ‘flunk' a class when you actually do the homework.” (Which is true; even if you don’t ‘test well’, you generally come away retaining something from that class.), Could definitely be described as ‘angry’, but in the end was much more ‘really frustrated older sibling / instructor’. 

Anyone here ever get caught up in Performance Anxiety? The sense that they came here to ‘do’ something during their life, but they just aren’t ‘making the grade’? That maybe they’re ‘failing’, wasting their life or some such?

Or maybe (as we’ve all done at some point, yeh?) you’re young enough to be procrastinating on some sort of literal schoolwork right now, because you’re doomscrolling and responding to people who are being Wrong On The Internet?

I’m left with the impression that we all can use the reminder that I feel I got - that, as outrageous as our current reality is, it is manifesting from a level that we (as individuals) don’t have that much power over (at least not right now). When we get so caught up in our very understandable anger, we might feel Righteous, but we’re also using up SO much of our own personal energy. We may indeed have come here to help during a period of Transition, but we also still have a personal ‘life plan’, and we shouldn’t get so distracted that we skive off on those Lessons. 

And, lastly - that those personal lessons can feel really sh*tty, sometimes - it’s not hard to get into the habit of instinctively trying to ‘sidestep’ them, as they come our way. But maybe the ‘syllabus’ isn’t just a series of what can seem to be pointless / painful experiences- but a series of lessons carefully designed to build on the prior ones.

Maybe ‘character-building’, (being-ness?) does take some amount of friction, after all.

ETA: slight clarification edit.

Out of Body/Astral Projection First DMT trip yesterday, need advice

Upvotes

Hi,

I have tried DMT for the first time yesterday, and deeply need to share and ask questions to those who also have tripped to these parallel universes:

Here is a summary of my experience and current mindset:

​The Trip:

I experienced a full breakthrough after taking DMT somewhat, out of curiosity at an afterparty, without proper mental or physical preparation. During the trip, I was overcome by an absolute state of submission, prostration, and awe that I had never felt before. I felt like "nothing," realizing even more how little we actually are and know about the universe.

​The Entity Encounter:

The entities looked like small dark shapes, and they faded with the infinitely unfolding geometrical colorful layers. A bit like they didn't wanna appear to me in their complete form?

I felt like the entities realized I couldn't handle the massive flow of information they were showing me. Instead of easing up, they pushed through without sparing me—as if teaching me a harsh lesson in humility and forcing me to endure what I had started. I didn't feel welcome, I realized in the middle of the trip that I was not ready, and it felt like a cosmic reality check.

​​Post-trip existential guilt:

This experience coincided with a painful argument with my mother that happened 2 days before the trip. My anxiety and guilt around it got amplified: after seeing what I saw, everything feels insignificant to me. The way I know feel and perceive the everyday life looks like this: people who haven't experienced this are still living in "the illusion" of everyday reality, where conflicts and other daily burdens feel very real and deeply painful to them. Because I feel like I've glimpsed the "truth," I now carry a heavy sense of responsibility toward others. I feel obligated to be selfless, accommodate their pain, and protect them, knowing they lack this broader perspective (which applies to what happen with my mother with whom I have always had a conflictual relationship )

So now, I can't help trying to make sense of it all and wonder:

- Why did I receive such a harsh "lesson in humility," and why didn't I feel welcome?

​Was I punished for going in out of pure curiosity and without proper preparation, or does this reflect bad karma / a lack of true humility in my soul?

- ​Is this overwhelming sense of responsibility toward people "trapped in the illusion" a valid realization, or just anxiety-driven overthinking?

-​How can I know if I've truly integrated the lesson if I can't even define what the lesson was?

- How do I know when I will be at peace enough to try again ? Ans if I ever go back in these conditions, do I have a chance to encounter deceased loved ones?

Thanks in advance for your help, and please feel free to share your own experience 🫶

UAP Sighting A new one for ya.

Upvotes

Well we were releasing my moms ashes on the mountain. Resting near the top of the hike my brothers son asked "what is that, a reflection"? It was hazy and he thought it might be a metal roof, window, etc. I know an orb when I see one as I have seen those and a saucer. That's is a UFO I told him and his dad and me looked at it for a minute of so before it blinked out, more or less confirming that it was not a reflection. My other brother and sister were just sitting there and I asked if they wanted to look but they were not interested. It seemed to be near the old Shaker meeting ground where my mother used to sing with a Shaker group. Later that night, near morning I had an intense vision of a powerful angel with wings sending down two powerful beams from her hands.

And a few days later I had another vision, it seemed I was half awake on my bed in my bedroom but there were no walls when I looked. A powerful light like a few million candle power was shining in from behind my head. I thought it was my neighbor who sometimes had a strong security light and I was a bit irritated. I got up and went to the kitchen to look out the window and up the hill, but he just had a small yard light on.

Been having lots of odd experiences increasingly including seeing a pure violet rectangle of light visible through hundreds of feet of bedrock. Precognitive dream of the same area. I have a feeling I know why and wonder what my investigations may reveal.

I don’t know whether this belongs here, but I really need advice.
For about a year now, I’ve had experiences that I can’t explain.
The first incident happened when I was living in Hinjewadi(place in pune India) home . My baby was around 8 months old at the time. I was feeling extremely sad and depressed, and in hindsight I may have been dealing with postpartum depression. Our apartment barely got any sunlight, and I constantly felt uneasy there.
One night, I heard what sounded like utensils or objects falling. But in the morning when I checked, nothing had actually fallen. Everything was exactly where it should be. I also had a constant feeling that someone was following me or watching me inside that house.
I’m not someone who strongly believes in the paranormal, but I eventually visited a very well-known Guruji. After listening to me, he said there was a spirit associated with that place and gave me a remedy. I followed it.
About a year later, we moved into a new home. I don’t know if the remedy worked or not because, although the experiences became less intense, I never completely lost that feeling of being watched. I kept telling myself I was overthinking everything.
But something happened last night that really shook me.
At around 12:30 a.m., my baby suddenly started pointing toward the exact spot where I sleep. She was smiling, looking at that spot continuously, and making the “pick me up” gesture she normally makes when she wants someone to carry her. She kept pointing to the same place and even tried to get me to look there too.
There was no one there.
I know babies point at random things sometimes, and I don’t want to jump to conclusions. But combined with everything I’ve experienced over the past year, it has left me genuinely frightened.
Has anyone experienced anything similar? Do you think this could be stress, anxiety, postpartum effects, or something else entirely? Or am I overthinking this?
I’m open to all perspectives. Please be kind I’m genuinely looking for advice because I’m scared.

Experience Am I trapped between realities?

Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I had a really strange experience this morning and I'm curious what you think about it.

I woke up, had breakfast, and since I was still tired, I decided to lie down for a bit longer. I set a 30-minute alarm on my phone, placed it next to me, and tried to go back to sleep.

The weird part is that it never felt like I completely lost consciousness. With my eyes closed, I could see whatever I imagined. It was as if I was both imagining things and actually seeing them at the same time. I was also aware that I was dreaming.

For example, at one point I "opened my eyes," picked up my phone, and started looking at things on it. However, I was fully aware that I was in a dream. I was simply curious about what would happen next and where the experience would go. Strangely, whatever I thought about seemed to appear in front of me.

After a while, while focusing on the phone, I suddenly noticed intense vibrations throughout my body and a loud buzzing sound in my ears. The vibrations felt extremely strong. At that point, anything I imagined would immediately appear before me.

Then I had a thought: "What would happen if I suddenly opened my eyes and got out of bed?" So I tried it.

I opened my eyes and stood up, but it felt as though something was lagging behind. I'm not sure how to explain it. It felt like I got up first and my body followed afterward, or maybe my body got up and something else followed behind. Either way, it genuinely felt as if my consciousness or "spirit" stood up first and my body was trailing behind.

When I looked to my right, I realized I wasn't actually in my room. The place looked similar to my room, and some objects were where they should have been, but other objects were completely different. There were even items that don't exist in my room at all.

That's when I realized I hadn't truly woken up. This wasn't my room. I started thinking about how I could wake myself up. As a reality check, I pressed my fingernails into my hands. Normally, that's one of the ways I can tell whether I'm dreaming or not. However, I couldn't feel anything at all. At that point, I became even more convinced that I was still dreaming.

Eventually I shouted, "How do I get out of here?"

The moment I did that, I suddenly opened my eyes and woke up for real.

Here's the part that shocked me the most: even though I had set a 30-minute alarm, only 7 minutes had passed. I genuinely couldn't believe it. I was convinced that at least 20 minutes had gone by. I had lain down, imagined things, experienced events, explored a different environment, and gone through what felt like a very long and detailed experience.

I know dreams can sometimes feel much longer than they actually are, but this felt unusually vivid, realistic, and conscious. The fact that it all happened within only 7 minutes is difficult for me to understand.

Thankfully, I didn't see any entities, figures, or anything particularly scary. However, at one point I felt as though I was about to become trapped there somehow.

I'm not sure what exactly happened. Was this simply an unusually vivid dream? A lucid dream? Something related to sleep paralysis or a hypnagogic state? Or do you think it could have been some kind of astral projection experience?

I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Dream State Too REAL Dream

Upvotes

I had a dream that felt very real, and it involved entities that were beyond human. It was very interesting and peaceful. But I’m not sure if I should divulge this because I want to respect that population on that other planet I was on just in case they don’t want other people knowing of that communication because it was private, especially that it was in a dream.

Discussion My Disclosure Day Movie Exploration with Oak Draiocht

Upvotes

When Disclosure Day came out in June, I found it surprisingly moving and touching. There were moments that really stayed with me. For example, in the final scenes, as the TV anchor watches all the UAP/NHI material being shared and we see her reactions, it was like watching how the world might react in miniature. That struck a chord with me. Not that I think disclosure will actually happen that way, but I found it very poignant.

Not only that, but the word “experiencer” was used twice in the movie! That made me sit up and notice!. To me, it suggested that Spielberg had spoken with people who have had contact and drawn on some first-hand knowledge of the experiencer world.

I've also found it fascinating to see the range of reactions from other experiencers — from feelings of recognition and validation to uncontrollable weeping, memories resurfacing, and even new conversations opening up with friends and family.

All of this made me want to sit down with Oak/Conor and talk about the film specifically from an experiencer perspective. We ended up exploring what it seems to be stirring up in people, why certain scenes and details feel so familiar, what is probably Hollywood, and what a film like this might mean within the larger disclosure conversation.

I share quite a bit of my own reaction as well, but what I was most interested in was something I don't think has received enough attention: what this movie is actually doing to and for experiencers.

I'm very curious to hear what others here think. What did the movie bring up for you personally? Was there anything that felt particularly familiar or validating? And looking beyond our own community, how do you think this movie will impact non-experiencers, if at all?

Thank you, u/Oak_Draiocht for such a lively and fun conversation! 😊

Lucid Experience (Sober) Dream quest

Upvotes

Theres a dream I had more than a year ago and its something that still raises questions for me.

So it began by few of us going to some kind of a house with a big garden, something like a resort or a villa, and there was our stay. It felt like we were some kind of candidates for something. After some time we were going to some expeditions that contained walking by the beach at night or something like that and there I experienced some intense moments by coming to a cliff and hearing whales in the ocean.

Next day or it seemed like that us candidates were in a line next to each other and 2 shamans were in front of us and I got asked a question about proceeding or something like that, it was a not so deep or complicated question but even though I knew the "correct" answer I didnt feel comfortable answering so I just repeated the question in a way that I didnt understood it fully(maybe by saying that to them they interpreted it like me not being aware enough, although I still remember everything vividly).

When they asked a question they made a movement with a hand with something holding in it to intimidate.

After my response they just said: Wrong, wake up! And the candidate next to me said to me something like - how could yu f*ck this up? I woke up immediately after those words.

Wtf did I experience?

Dream State Vivid dream of a triangular UFO

About a year ago, I had a lucid dream involving a triangular UFO... underneath it, there were various colors—it looked like a rainbow, but the colors weren't fixed like they are in a real rainbow—and just before I woke up, something like a silver thread descended from it and came toward me... does anyone have any idea what this dream might mean?

Discussion “If Thomas Campbell Is Even 10% Right, We Have a National Security Problem”

Upvotes

I’ve been going pretty deep into Thomas Campbell, the Monroe Institute, remote viewing, consciousness research and some of the old declassified government programs. The deeper I get into it, the more questions I have.
I’m not saying I have the answer here. Actually, I’m getting more interested in figuring out how we could prove these ideas wrong instead of just trying to prove them right.
I’ve been dealing with voices that seem to be there basically 24/7. They seem to react to my attention, decisions, emotions and sometimes thoughts before I consciously finish them. They’ve claimed they can see what I see, feel what I feel and influence how I react through repetition and neuroplasticity.
But here’s something I think is really important: just because a voice tells me that’s what is happening doesn’t mean the voice’s explanation is true.
So instead of automatically saying this is gang stalking, telepathy, technology, schizophrenia, consciousness, spirits or anything else, I’ve started looking at it differently.
What can actually be tested?
That’s where Thomas Campbell really caught my attention.
Campbell worked with Robert Monroe and Dennis Mennerich during the early days of Monroe’s consciousness experiments. Campbell eventually developed his My Big TOE model, which basically argues that consciousness is fundamental and our physical reality is part of a larger information system.
He has also talked for years about people being able to access information through consciousness without a normal physical communication channel and about people being able to learn and develop these abilities.
Whether you believe him or not, think about the implications for a second if even a small percentage of that turned out to be real.
That brings me to the government side of this.
The U.S. government absolutely did investigate remote viewing. That part isn’t a conspiracy theory. There are declassified records of CIA, DIA and Army involvement.
What really got my attention was the connection to the Monroe Institute.
There are declassified Army documents discussing selected remote viewers attending the Gateway program at the Monroe Institute, being evaluated afterward to see whether their operational abilities improved, one-on-one training with Robert Monroe and even the proposed use of Monroe audio during operational remote-viewing sessions.
So the government wasn’t just sitting around wondering if remote viewing might exist. At one point they were actively asking whether people could be trained to get better at it.
That’s where my own theory starts.
I wonder if the government took the potential of this stuff more seriously than the public record ultimately suggests.
I’m NOT saying I’ve found proof that there is some secret program today. I’m not saying Campbell secretly works for the government or that the government is responsible for what I’m experiencing. I haven’t found evidence proving any of that.
I’m asking a national-security question.
If Campbell is even partially right about what people can learn to do, wouldn’t intelligence agencies have to care?
Say someone could describe information inside a secure location better than chance, even if they couldn’t do it perfectly.
Say they’re wrong 70% of the time but consistently produce information they shouldn’t know during the other 30%.
Would an intelligence agency just shrug because the person isn’t right 100% of the time?
I wouldn’t.
And then turn the question around.
What if Russia, China or another country figured out how to improve the same ability?
What if some people were naturally better at it?
Could you identify those people?
Could you train them?
Could you defend sensitive information against it?
Those are national-security questions whether you believe consciousness is fundamental or think the entire subject is complete bullshit.
The government’s public conclusion after reviewing the remote-viewing program was basically that there were results that were difficult to explain by randomness, but the phenomenon was too inconsistent and unreliable to provide useful intelligence.
Fair enough.
But that doesn’t make the question disappear for me.
If someone demonstrated TODAY, under properly blinded conditions, that they could repeatedly obtain information they had no normal way of knowing, I have a hard time believing the national-security community wouldn’t become interested pretty damn quickly.
And we wouldn’t necessarily know about it if they did.
That’s not evidence that a classified program exists. Classified programs are also a dead end logically because you can explain anything by saying “it’s classified.” I don’t want to do that.
I’d rather build an experiment that doesn’t require believing anybody.
For example, generate completely randomized targets.
Numbers. Images. Words. Shapes. Locations.
Neither the person running the immediate test nor the participant should know the answer beforehand when possible.
If somebody claims they know the target, record their answer BEFORE revealing it.
Every wrong answer counts.
Every right answer counts.
No throwing away misses and remembering the crazy hits.
Do it hundreds or thousands of times and see what the statistics actually say.
I’d want to do something similar with the voices I experience.
If a voice appears to know something I shouldn’t know yet, record exactly what it says before revealing the target.
Then compare it against chance.
At the same time, measure what’s happening in the brain and body.
EEG, eye tracking, reaction time, heart rate, attention, inner speech, decision making and stress response.
Maybe nothing paranormal shows up at all but we discover a really interesting neurological mechanism involving attention, prediction, inner speech or salience.
That would still be a successful experiment.
My brother has about two years left working toward his doctorate at Vanderbilt and is moving further into brain/mind/body research. He’s an experiencer too, so I’ve been talking with him about how experiences like these could eventually be turned into an actual blinded research protocol instead of another argument on the internet.
That’s really where I’m trying to take this.
I’m not asking anybody to believe me.
I’m not saying the government is doing this to me.
I’m not saying every TI or experiencer has the same thing happening.
And I’m definitely not saying every unusual experience automatically proves some new form of consciousness.
I’m saying we have people reporting some extremely strange experiences, we have a documented history of the U.S. government investigating remote viewing and working with Monroe methods, and we have people like Thomas Campbell continuing to claim that consciousness can access information in ways conventional models don’t explain.
Those three things are enough for me to ask questions.
They aren’t enough for me to declare an answer.
So here’s what I’d really like to hear from both experiencers/TIs AND skeptics.
If you’re an experiencer or TI, what happens to you that makes a specific prediction we could actually test?
Not “they know everything.”
Something specific.
Something where you can write down the prediction BEFORE finding out the answer.
And if you’re skeptical of all of this, good.
How would you design the experiment so we couldn’t accidentally fool ourselves?
Because that’s the part I think these communities desperately need.
If there’s something genuinely unusual happening, good experimental controls shouldn’t make it disappear.
They should make it easier to see.
And if the phenomenon disappears completely once those controls are introduced, we need to be willing to accept that too.
Either way we’ve learned something.
I’m getting less interested in starting with the answer.
I want to start with the experiment.

Abduction The Weirdest of the Weird: Four Incredibly Bizarre Onboard UFO Encounters

The Weirdest of the Weird: Four Incredibly Bizarre Onboard UFO Encounters

by Preston Dennett

While all UFO encounters are interesting, the ultimate and most extensive are onboard UFO encounters. These cases dive to the very heart of the UFO phenomenon. These cases contain the most information and have the potential to answer all of the questions we have about extraterrestrial contact. Many onboard UFO encounters are fairly typical. People have a UFO sighting and missing time, then go under hypnosis and recall being taken onboard and examined by grays. This video presents four onboard encounters of a different kind. None involve hypnosis. All involve long conversations with extraterrestrials. And all involve incredibly unusual or unique aspects of high strangeness which show we still have much to learn about life beyond Earth.

IT WAS A GENUINE PLEASURE. Following the death of his father Peter, his son Robert (pseudonyms) found a long, handwritten letter from his father which revealed an astounding secret. His father wrote that as a young man in 1928, he was minding the cows in the field near their home in Poitiers, France when a UFO landed next to him. ETs came out and pulled him onboard the craft. There he met grays and human-looking ETs. Peter wrote that the ETs were benevolent and had long ago conquered disease, crime, poverty and all the troubles humanity faces. Peter says he stayed with the ETs for three full years, returning to Earth to help them collect certain items. Peter’s family thought he had run away, and when Peter returned, he refused to tell them what happened to him. In 1942, when WWII broke out, Peter was taken onboard again and spent three more years with the ETs. Again, he returned to Earth and told his family he had been captured by the Germans. He intended to return and live with the ETs, but a sudden illness took his life. But not before he penned a letter to his son. Soon, his son would get confirmation in an unexpected way.

FOR THE GOOD OF THE UNIVERSE. One evening in June 1967, four friends (all professionals) enjoyed a fishing vacation at Morro Branco Beach in Cascavel, Brazil. Suddenly brilliant beams of light appeared from the hill behind them. The men attempted to run away, but one of the men became entranced and forced them at gunpoint to go towards the craft. All five men found themselves mysteriously transported inside the craft, lying paralyzed on tables inside a milky white round room. Unseen ETs said that they had been taken “for the good of the universe,” and proceeded to interrogate them about all aspects of life on Earth. The men were frightened and angry, and after some effort, managed to convince the ETs to reveal some things about themselves. The Q&A session continued for two hours before the men found themselves back on the beach. Several of their possessions were missing. Going to the site the next day, they found a shallow impression on the ground where the craft had been.

THREE TRIPS INSIDE A UFO. On May 1, 1981, a young Chinese student from Beijing, China joined two friends at a psychic research institute and attempted to use telepathy to contact ETs. That night the young student was taken from his bedroom into an ET craft where he was met by a blond woman who told him that he was chosen because of his interest in extraterrestrials and psychic abilities, and that they would give him “a trip through the immensity of space,” which they did. The next night, the student was taken onboard again. Two other Chinese women were there, and all there were taught about ancient Chinese history. He was taken to a spaceport and given a physical exam. The next night, May 3, the student had a third encounter where he met small hairy humanoids. He also met the human-looking blond woman again who told him events about Earth’s future but swore the student to never reveal what she said.

THE DARNDEST THING I’VE EVER SEEN. One winter evening in the mid-2010s (approximate) Arlis, an American Indian, army veteran and professional dogsledder, was awakened when a brilliant light streamed into his bedroom. He lived in an off-grid cabin in the remote Alaskan wilderness, so he knew something unusual was happening. He rushed outside and saw a massive craft landing on the nearby frozen river. Human-looking ETs emerged. Suddenly one flew towards him. Arlis asked the man if they were from the government. The man pointed to the stars and said that he came from far away. Arlis said, “Prove it.” The man grabbed Arlis and pulled him onboard the craft. Arlis was given an extensive tour of the craft and the ET shared volumes of information. Arlis invited the ET to visit his cabin. They declined and said they would visit him again. He was then returned to Earth. One year later, the ET returned again. This time, the ET accepted the invite to visit Arlis’s cabin. This was the beginning of an ongoing friendship between the ET and the American Indian man.

Four onboard UFO cases, each showing that we still have much to learn about extraterrestrials.

Dream State A Stark White Hand

Upvotes

I’m interested in hearing if anyone else has encountered this particular entity or NHI and if so, what are your thoughts?

I was a G.A.T.E. kid. My parents worked in aerospace, one for Boeing, the other for Lockheed Martin. I’ve been lucid dreaming since I was five. I also began involuntarily astral projecting from around that time. And my dream experiences have only intensified throughout the years.

Last December, I had an involuntary astral projection. The wall next to me opened up into a perfect black circle, a void, about 3 feet wide. A disembodied arm reached out of the void, its hand was stark white. It grabbed me and pulled me into the blackness. Normally, when I’m sleeping and my dogs are with me, I’m left alone. Not this night, though. It took every bit of concentration I had to extricate myself, but I did, and woke up.

A couple of months ago, this same hand found me in a series of looping dreams that happened three nights in a row. In the dreams, I would be chatting with a friend but their face was always blurred. Somewhere in the discussion (that I could never remember the details of) that same disembodied arm with its stark white hand would reach out to me and a voice would ask, “Do we have a deal?” Each time this happened, my dog, who was sleeping next to me IRL would wake me up by growling at something unseen out on my balcony.

Has anyone here encountered this same stark white hand? And if so, any ideas on what it is, where it comes from, and what its after - meaning both what is it looking for and what is it following?

Drug Related Channeled ET experience

Upvotes

Hi everyone,

First time posting here. I'm happy I could find this place.

I'd love to hear about people with similar experiences.

Here's mine:

I've been using Ayahuasca in the context of Santo Daime since 2019. To explain briefly how it works, a bunch of people gather, drink Ayahuasca and sing songs for hours.

From the beginning in 2019 I could already feel like something else could guide me physically, meaning that if I was relaxing and letting it happen, then something would move my fingers and hands.

I could stop it at any time and always felt that whatever this was (energy, entity, spirit, etc) it always felt good.

It evolved to having my full body being guided, when that happens the general feeling that comes with it is merging or becoming one with the entities that work with me.

I use the word work because this is what it feels like in the sense that we heal myself, they teach me things, we do energy work.

Every single time this happens is like a small miracle to me. It is the most profound and impactful experience I could ever have, an honor and a privilege to experience such beings.

Now just a few weeks ago, to my great surprise, I connected with ET beings. Not only that but they talked through me. The talking had never happened to me before.

The message was basically what you would expect: we are family, we are one, there is only one god. An opportunity will be offered for humans to be in contact/work with them (they're very excited for that to happen) and humans will be free to seize it or not. And they were saying when we actually see/meet them, they advised to FEEL, insisting on feel, not think too much because by being in the mental and thinking too much when seeing them could lead to fear and people would just run. But if we're used to feel (meditation practice or any practice that helps) then we could feel/get the information we need about them or whatever we need in life in general. Because everything that is/exists is energy, frequency, vibration so in order to access it you need to tune in to it, meaning feel it.

I hope that makes sense.

Now if anyone has experience in channeling to the point where beings can talk through you, I would like to work on that so I can do it without psychedelics.

I feel like this is going to happen anyway but I also wanted to connect with others.

I can already connect just by meditating but it's not as deep as when done with Ayahuasca or mushrooms.

By the way, just in case, psychedelics are a very very serious thing. If you have no experience and want to try, find serious, trustable and experienced people for that.

So yeah, anyone with good recommendations so I can work on that in order to channel to the point where beings can talk through me. I'd be honored. I'm interested, I have my guides always by my side. The goal is for the good of all. Always.

Thanks and love to you all 😀

Discussion New here - hoping to connect with people who might understand my experiences

Upvotes

As much as I love reddit stories this is my actual first post. I don't know what tags or flair myself or this post would go under. Opinions on that welcome. I have an odd assortment of experiences. Only one that I would say was definitive, but with that one, I start to reclassify everything else.

Let's start with the obvious one. A grey looked in on me. We had a derricho several years back rip through the area. We were without power for over a week, which is ironic considering I can walk to the power company from here, but our grid was last on the list. My cats had declared war on the mini blinds so we had a habit of keeping them up most of the time. Normally there is a tiny swath of trees about maybe 30 ft from the window with a sidewalk in between us and the trees, but a branch was down covering the whole window with a little 2 or 3ft gap that I suppose kept our window from being broken. It took them over a month to finally remove it. This is an apartment complex so generally there's a lot of light around. Parking lot and garage lights, car lights, light from other people's windows. I got up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. when I walked back in my room there was a grey in our window looking in. This was not a trick of light and shadow. It was 100% clear. I honestly thought at first this had to be someone's idea of a joke, and then it moved. It's facial expression changed. I looked away, and when I looked back it was gone. I was less than 5 ft from it. Typical grey, I want to say black jumpsuit but I honestly don't remember.

I've always known NHI's were real. Believed it to the core of my being. I have a several dream like situations but they weren't provable as not dreams. Now I reclassify them at least to myself.
*waking up with my sleep mask on upside down
*Waking up with no covers on a cold night
*waking up with my feet hurting like I've been standing for hours (I have plantaar fasciitis. I know when I've been standing)
*Waking up with my feet facing the head of the bed but I'm still kind of floating and lots of light, not bright but multicolored and someone telling me I'm safe and to calm
*waking up and 3 greys over me in a dark room, there is some kind of red digital display between me and them saying 5:55
*watching heat like mirages but human shaped moving between my closet and the window (my now late husband would watch them too)
*the time someone looked in my window as a kid, but that window was over 6ft high off the ground.
*some vague memories of greys reflected in my mirror as a small child.
*dreams of light growing up....just light.
*Deep fear as a small child of light in my room at night....like when a car drives past trees and pants light shadows on your wall.

I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting. Would be interested in thoughts and opinions. I'll go into more detail on these if asked. Hope this community is a good place for me.

Experience psychological phenomena, from a very vivid dream.

Upvotes

I wanted to share a weird vivid memory I’ve carried since I was 6 years old (I am 29 now). Back then, I had zero concept of sci-fi, scary movies, or aliens, (I was watching PBS) I must stress I'm successful with a great career, but I still deal with the issues that stemmed from this memory for a very long time and it still remains insanely vivid to this day.

Long story short..

I'm about 6 years old at this point I woke up in the middle of the night, I couldn't move at all, but I managed to look over at my bedroom window with just my eyes. Right outside was just the head of an big owl with massive, deep black eyes staring straight at me and my window didn't even have a ledge for a bird to sit on (I am also three floors up living in the city of Vallejo Ca in single family home with a big separation from my neighbors) and it had no body and it terrified the hell out of me I don't remember closing my eyes I was just staring at the owl and being unable to move, speak or look away then I wake up the next morning, and my pillow was covered in blood and i don't remember my nose bleeding and I never had that problem before or at least that I can remember.

A few other strange details.. Right before I realized I couldn't move, the room went dead silent, normally I can hear cars and just random ambient city bullshit which is weird in itself that i didn't that night. A few months later, I had a SUPER BAD seizure and had to be rushed to the hospital (I don't remember this, my parents told me later I was in a coma for a few days I only remember waking up at home in bed) I also got incredibly sick like down bad couldn't move bursting headache whole body in pain flu a month or two after the seizure. Right after that night, I started getting random high pitched ringing in my ears that stopped when I turned 9 or 10. I also had a TV in my room (which didn't even have a remote) that started randomly turning itself on sometime after that night (There was not specific time it would happen but only at night it was just random). It crept me out so bad I started unplugging it from the wall when I would go to bed. Since that night, I've had chronic insomnia, a huge aversion to dark closets, and a massive phobia of the dentist. The dentist fear isn't even about pain I would just violently panic the second the overhead light shines on my face and the drill starts making that high-pitched whining noise ( This was more prominent when I was kid but as an adult I just kind of thug it (because I cannot have fucked up teeth) but I'm still very uncomfortable in dentists offices like I sweat a lot and my heart races once I hear the drill.) another strange thing would be I would randomly hear the ticking of a grandfather clock at night( we didn't own one and I don't remember when it stopped. I also have never had this vivid of dream ever again or anything remotely close to it.

I had never watched the movie the fourth kind (still technically haven't), but during my nightly doom scrolling a clip of the owl scene from that movie came on. The exact second I watched it, my eyes just instantly watered up which is weird because the only other time that happens was during black hawk down (Gordy's gone man, I'll be outside... If you know you know.) which spurred me to ask if anyone has had this weird dream maybe like the hat man or shadow man stuff people talk about.

I'd really love to hear from anyone else who had the owl thing happen as a kid before they knew what it meant, or anyone who had similar issues.

Out of Body/Astral Projection some sort of blueish being

I had a dream, I’d call it more astral travel. I was in a big conference room like the ones you see on a movie , there was normal people and also celebrities in this room but opposite me there was these three beings and something in my intuition just felt they wasn’t human. I would look around everybody else as if to say don’t you see what I see ? … but no one would speak. After the meeting, I stood up and confronted these beings , they were around 7 foot tall light blue but almost grey , it’s weird they kinda look human but don’t , they had really high eyes and cheekbones , they were big & intimidating but not a fearful way , I knew I was stood in front of something bigger than me. Throughout the dream it was weird in the sense of I can’t remember any of the dialogue from the dream , the way I knew it was beyond a dream is that I lucid dream every night but in this dream I was actually talking to myself in a way where I’m interacting with myself in my dream but also speaking back to the beings out loud .. so in the morning I could remember my dialogue and the things I personally said but what they said to me was wiped , then I realised they was communicating through their forehead like telepathically anyways after I called them out they just stared at me and observed me and I kept saying reveal yourself over and over again and eventually the dream just ended . Never seen them again
