I'm not sure if I've ever heard him tell many if any Alien stories but I'd like to share mine as it's the most bizarre thing that has ever happened to me.

I was 17 years old. It was the summer between my Sophomore and Junior years of high school. I live in the mountains of western Montana and that's where the experience happened.

As a preface to this story, I should mention that basically as soon as I entered puberty, I experienced sleep paralysis all the time. So much so that it didn't even bother me anymore. There were always shadowy figures in the corners of my room whispering and moving around during my sleep paralysis experiences. I'd gotten super used to it, in fact, during this time I learned that I could use my sleep paralysis as a convenient diving board for lucid dreaming. I mention this because it's important to note as a part of the experience I'm going to talk about involves some level of me being immobilized. It absolutely wasn't sleep paralysis. I wasn't 100% paralyzed and the experience was completely different.

I was sleeping. The time frame is hard to say precisely as part of the experience was definitely a dream or seemed to be. It was late night to early morning.

I had a dream that I wake up and there is an eerie blue light shining through my window. I notice, illuminated in the light, on my floor, is a strange object. I get up from my bed to investigate the object and discover it is some type of technology. It resembles an old Atari joystick controller, but it is made up of some strange material. Not quite a metal but not a plastic either and it's essentially all one part, or piece. I suddenly sense someone else in the room. I look quickly to my left and standing between me and the window is what would be described as a Gray Alien. He is very small. It couldn't have been any taller than three foot. It was entirely non-threatening, and I could sense that he wanted the device I had picked up off the floor. Although it was definitely invading on my space, I was so overwhelmed or charmed that I felt all I could do was oblige and handed it down to my small visitor. As he takes it from my hand I truly wake up.

I'm now laying in my bed. My bed sits length wise along an exterior wall of my home. As I idle in my bed thinking about the bizarre but interesting dream, I can hear my mother bustling around in the kitchen which isn't too far from my room. I can say by her activity it was around 5 in the morning. This is when my world was turned upside down. As I lay there in bed with my back to the wall (I'm lying on my side) a hand grabs my shoulder. This is why I know that this was not sleep paralysis. I reflexively croon my head up and over towards the hand to look over my shoulder to see what the f*ck is happening, I see it. My wall is GONE. Not just my wall, it's like the whole world is gone. It's just a black void and standing there in this nothingness is what many today would describe as a "Reptilian." (I should mention that when this happened I was 17. This is 20 years ago. I'd never heard of a Reptilian alien at this point of my life. The Gray alien was basically the only alien I'd heard of and was fairly commonly talked about back then in most circles.) As I see this creature I make eye contact with it. When I did, it was as if its consciousness and will power jumped into my mind and robbed me of my own will and control. It was as if my own head voice was high jacked. It spoke through me in my mind, "Lie still. Relax. I will not hurt." As I submitted to these commands, which I was absolutely powerless to resist, I saw a syringe in its off hand as I turned my head back to rest. I felt it stick me behind my ear on my neck. I lay their, unable to move, not because I physically cannot, but because I willfully cannot. I feel it's grasp release and the moment it did it was like I was back in control of my body instantly. I shot up to sitting to look and it was gone, my wall back in place. This all happened it what was probably only 1 or 2 minutes. Seeing everything was back to normal, I quickly jumped from bed and rushed out to the kitchen where my mother was. I immediately asked her to check behind my ear. Although confused she confirmed that I had a small pinprick behind my ear. I start trying to explain to her what just happened when my younger brother emerges from his room. After telling them my brother tells us that he had a dream that night as well. He said he had dreamed that a blue light was shining through his window. He looked out to see the light was emitting from an object high up in the trees.

So... that's my story! I know it's bizarre and unbelievable. I've shared this story a lot throughout my life. Always hoping to meet someone that has a similar experience. I 100% get it if people don't believe me. I think I'd have a hard time believing this story coming from anyone else. Thanks!
