Male, 20
Diagnosed with dysthymia, but it rarely interferes with my ability to function. I frequently experience anxiety; I suspect a mild social phobia.
Drug history: LSA, DXM, JWH(various), DPH, Opiates(various)
The night before:
I had used a rather large amount of a JWH-xxx synthetic cannibinoid compound blended with various herbs an herbal incense blend. The experience itself was very enjoyable, and isn't the focus of this particular story.
The experiences:
I went to bed quite "altered" and very tired; I fell asleep on my back. This, for me, is unusual; I'm a side sleeper. I suspect sleeping in a new/strange position combined with JWH & the herbs in the "incense" (there easily could have been some calea zacatachichi or mugwort present, as it was distinctly bitter) could be responsible for the overwhelming feeling of "otherness" present throughout the dreams. I found myself in my room in my first dream, thinking I had woken up. I decide to start playing my nintendo DS in bed, except I'm actually playing a strange hybrid of Pokemon Red and the old school NES Dragon Warrior. While I'm playing, I get waves of jarring uncanniness; I begin to interpret the uncannniness as a Missingno glitch that's corrupting the fuck out of my game which makes me feel slightly uncomfortable.
During one of these events I "wake up" still feeling uncomfortable, and still feeling weird. I look out my window and I spot a car parked on the road in front of my house. Looking at it gives me the chills and it feels very menacing. Still dreaming, I "wake up" again, but this time I do a reality check to make sure I'm really awake. I look at my hands. The shape is off and I have too many fingers. It doesn't occur to me to test whether I control the dream environment, so the lucidity isn't very powerful. Lucid and curious, I look out my window again. This time the car is in my back yard, it's empty, and it feels more malevolent than ever. My room is on the second floor; as I get out of bed I hear my house start to shake, and I immediately know that someone downstairs is running through the house to get outside to the car. I immediately know that they were somewhere in my house (I'm excited/ a little nervous and losing my grip on lucidity) and know it was them that was somehow trying to attack me through my DS game earlier. They make it to the car and haul ass before I can catch a glimpse of them. At this point I was confused and feeling violated- my sanctuary was desecrated, or so it felt.
I wake up again but this time I gasp in terror as soon as I open my eyes I'm greeted by intimidating, primal "music"; it seems to have a drum beat, but it's also screechy/high pitched, very discordant. I don't really remember the music well, just what I've written down. Looming over me is a abhorrent creature with too-long limbs and a stretched out face. I couldn't get a good look at the features, but the eyes were big, similar to a "grey" alien archetype. It's head was thin and in proportion to the body, unlike a grey. This thing was very tall, too. It reminded me a lot of Slenderman, after I woke up and thought about it. At the time, I wasn't thinking, I was just panicking and paralyzed in fear. I don't even know if I was in sleep paralysis, because I was just too scared to even think about moving. Everything about this thing was malevolent; I came to (for real this time) after about what I'd guess is 5-10 seconds of that things just looming over me, but it felt like much longer.
I strongly feel that JWH and herbs combined with the strange sleeping position produced these strange and terrifying dreams.
