Needles Growing Out of My Hands...Abduction Related? Ghost Related?, page 3

Alright. I've had almost the exact same experiences when i was around the age of 5 - 8 with the nightmares, and fear of something in my room when going to bed. The Nightmares started out of no where and continued for 2 years. When they first started happening it seemed like a normal dream, but then a huge rectangular block would appear in the sky. Thinking back, i had always thought of it as a city instead of a spaceship. As soon as it appeared i felt a deep dread come into me and just sit there. My whole presence in the dream would ache when the city showed up. In the beginning dreams i never saw Aliens, though upon waking that's what i believed they were with no doubt whatsoever. I also had no previous exposure to UFO's, Aliens, or paranormal phenomenon. As time went on and the dreams continued i began seeing less and less of the city/spaceship. Instead, the dream would start out normal and part way through, or during the most important or significant part of the dream, that sense of dread would overcome me and i would feel that the city was coming. By then i had developed a technique for when i would have these dreams. Whenever i would get that sense of dread that they were on there way, i would blink my eyes twice really hard in the dream, and upon opening them I'd be awake.

Now, these dreams are what created my fear of going to sleep. I would always feel that there was something at the edge of my bed, next to my bed, in the closet, under the bed, right out side the window, etc. waiting for me. Waiting for the right moment to leap out and get me or w/e. Also these dreams tormented me psychologically during the day. My thoughts, decisions, opinions, etc. began to be controlled by this fear of these "beings" who might do something to me if i didn't behave properly. It became really severe, to the point where i was criticizing myself about which hand i should use to pour a bowl of cereal because i thought if i didn't do it right they would get mad and visit me again. This went on for several years, the nightmares became less frequent and almost completely stopped except for a couple nights here and there. But my psychological trauma from these nightmares lasted a lot longer. Around the age of 9 or 10 (It's been a long time since I've thought about these times) i started getting extremely depressed and fed up with this restricted way of thinking. I had realized at that point that the fear of these "beings" was what was controlling my thoughts, and not actual beings. So i decided to face this fear and overcome it, which turned out to be a lonnnggg process. I had to completely retrain my brain in how it develops thoughts, opinions, perspectives.

After many years of struggling with this fear, i finally got to a point where i was just about to overcome it. I had re-established my sense of self, and began understanding the dynamics of fear and how not to let it control me. While i was just on the cusp of this completely new life, free from old fears... i had one last dream. It started with me hanging out with a couple of friends in my house playing video games, all was well. But then everything started to glow red (imagine putting in a red light bulb and having the room glow red. sorta like that just everywhere, even outside). I looked around, and my friends had disappeared as if they were never even there. I was completely alone. Then i felt the feeling of dread come over me, and i knew what was coming. I had the sudden knowing that the city was over my house, and the "beings" were in my backyard waiting for me (i don't know what for, but i knew nothing good). But this time was different, it felt as if i had been expecting them. I knew now if i stayed identified with myself and who i truly was, they couldn't play any more mind games with me. So, i grabbed a sword that just happened to be hanging on my wall haha, and I went outside to kill them.
I got outside, and there was a group of gnarly looking things on my lawn. They just happen to have swords as well hahah. So they ran at me, and i was able to kill the first two. The last of them, i suspect realizing i wasn't afraid of them anymore, escaped. The air returned to normal, the bodies vanished, and i was alone again... on my lawn.. with a sword. The rest is a blur. After that dream, my fear of the "beings" ceased and i started my new life.

Just like you these experiences have given me a deep interest in UFO's and the paranormal. I didn't mention this, but during the time of all these dreams i would see apparitions as well.. but not quite as detailed or complete as you have. I would see a transparent (with a hue) pair of feet running past me on walks. Thick shadows here and there. An inaudible whisper in my ear, or hand on my shoulder, etc.
I'd have to agree with you that these things feel like they're related.
As for the needles, and the stalker.... I wish you luck, because i have no idea.

Best of Wishes, and thanks for sharing this story with us!
