That Spaceship In The Field
And how I found myself on board
This story needs a preface. I’m compelled to say I do not believe in UFOs. I like to keep an open mind, but I am not a true believer. You may question that after finishing this piece.
Therefore, you should approach my story knowing the experience was technically a dream. More than a vivid or even lucid dream. If you understand the difference, know this was an out-of-body experience. OBEs are defined by one’s acute level of awareness during the event. You not only know that you are dreaming and aware within the dream, but you are as awake as you are in daily life.
This all began with swirling green lights outside my bedroom window.
Despite my intrinsic disbelief, I thought the green lights swirling all around my backyard were aliens come to Earth. My rational brain reminded me I lived in Anchorage, Alaska, home to the Northern Lights. I hadn’t known they could occur at ground level, but that is the option I chose to believe.
Swamp gas did not seem plausible.
Satisfied, my brain let me go back to sleep.
