Apparition What was this??
Hey everyone. Hope you’re all doing well. I had the strangest experience of my life about a month ago. I’m just wondering if anyone has ever experienced something similar or knows what this could have been.
For context, I had really gotten into learning about UAPs/Aliens after the latest congressional hearing. I was absorbing content like crazy, and started meditating and trying to communicate with my thoughts. Sounds crazy. I know. I am not saying this experience is related to Aliens. I have no clue.
I did meditation most nights before bed for awhile. Then something happened to me about a month ago that really freaked me out. I pulled back from everything. Meditating and even taking in content. I was honestly freaked out. I realized I had no idea what I was doing/ trying to engage with.
So on that night I was doing meditation, trying to communicate, and fell asleep. I am downstairs on a couch with the lights on. I wake up and floating like six feet off the ground in front of me is a DENSE/DARK black smoke outline of what I can only describe as something that looked like a large iguana. It didn’t seem like an alive animal though. It looked almost like a large drawing of an iguana/lizard. The smoke was also only the outline of the iguana.
It just floated there, and I stared at it for a couple of seconds. Then the black smoke slowly started to dissipate, and then the whole thing completely vanished in an instance.
I know this sounds crazy. I don’t blame anyone for not believing me. At all.
All I can say is I was definitely not asleep. I was not dreaming. The room was well lit.
I keep finding myself thinking about this. If anyone has any insight it would be greatly appreciated.

I've noticed a lot with this stuff (uap, ghosts, cryptids, elves, whatever) people say that when they give it more attention they have more experiences. I always get a little freaked out when I start consuming more content, because honestly I don't want to invite anything into my life 😭 But I'm so fascinated by these experiences

The thing with all this stuff is - it wont give you any advance or even knowledge after all, even it can seem at the begining that it does benifit you and is a curious thing. What it will do -forever will take away a peace of your soul. So sleep well and enjoy real life

I believe you. Must be related. I can’t imagine why an iguana. Are you afraid of lizards? Maybe something playing into your fears

Thank you for believing me. I am not afraid of lizards and I don’t think I ever even really think about them. There are some strange stories out there, that there is a race of alien reptiles. Check out “the Lacerta files” if interested. Those stories always sounded really strange to me though, and I basically immediately disregarded them.

So maybe you were connecting to them somehow. I’d recommend no more Alien stuff and just meditate to rest and clear your mind.

They are intelligent and watching those who are not pursuing God in their lives. We are vehicles to them and they are always looking for more victims to destroy. Do not pursue them if you don’t want to be enslaved by them. Watch the movie “Nefarious” and believe what it tells you.

Thank you. I’ll check out the movie.

I found when I emptied my mind (not meditating on God then the evil ones tried to frighten me to the point of full on audio haunting and other nefarious things. I was unaware I was inviting false spirits to come on in ! It got so awful that my father was gone for work and one harrowing encounter we desperately called my Daddy and he said put the phone on speaker. We did.
He actually heard over the phone the growling spirit that was terrorizing my mother and I. He said (and I will never forget) “by the power of Jesus Christ, LEAVE OUR HOUSE! I command all evil spirits to LEAVE MY FAMILY AND NEVER RETURN “ The evil spirits immediately fled. It was the scariest experience I have ever had. God bless you and please be safe!

Whoa! This is eerily similar to what I saw out on my morning walk a month or so ago. I posted it on this site or maybe a “ghost” community. I’ll search for the link if you want it but you can search my posts.
I was on my daily 5 AM walk. Well, we’re normally out around six, but I was up really early this day and I saw a black silhouette walking towards me. I assumed it was a person so I prepared to at least say hello so that my dog didn’t go crazy and bark.
When I looked up again after turning a corner, it was the same silhouette of a person, walking much farther away and almost like not making any ground at all and heading in the opposite direction. I just figured somebody turned around, but when I was watching them, I couldn’t even make out that it was a person. It definitely was, but I couldn’t tell the gender or anything they wore or anything else.
My dog stopped and stared at it but didn’t motion or anything towards it. She just stood still. When I sort of nudged her to look the other way and keep going down the block in a different direction, towards home basically, I looked back and it was completely gone. She looked back and then cocked her head, almost as if to say, where did it go?
Needless to say, I hightailed it home.

Thank you for sharing! Very interesting. Hopefully people with similar experiences continue to comment.

That sounds startling! Good on you for connecting it to meditation and cutting off the opportunity for it to manifest again at the root!

Sounds like maybe could be a lucid dream. I’ve only ever had one but it was one of the best experiences of my life. I “woke up”, looked down at my own body, thought I was dead, somehow realized it was a dream…then flew around the world. It felt 1000% like I was awake and actually experiencing everything.
If it was a lucid dream and you learned how to purposefully induce them with meditation I’m very jealous. Hopefully next time it’s not giant lizards.
