The Meeting

This has to be one of the most impressive memories that I have of all the experiences I have had so far.  It happened in December 1997 in Sydney.  I was staying for a short time with a lady who was kind enough to offer me a roof over my head during my travels around Australia.

She didn’t have a spare bed, so I was sleeping on her couch in the lounge room.  I have to say, it was 5 star luxury compared to some of the places I had camped at in various spots of the remote regions of Australia.

It was after midnight, but not a significant time past.  Everyone in the house was asleep, including me.

I was woken up from my sleep by something touching my face.  I didn’t wake up groggy, I was totally alert and aware.  I was very conscious of my internal processes.  What I saw was a finger withdrawing from my face.  I was looking into the eyes of a being that was roughly at eye level to me.  Remember I was lying on a couch so the being couldn’t have been any more than about 3 feet tall (an approximation).  It was at this point that I realized I had absolutely no fear inside me at what was happening, which is quite a contrast from my previous encounter roughly ten years earlier.

 The being (I don’t know how else to describe it) was a kind of grey colour with proportionate human appearance for it’s size.  There didn’t appear to be any clothing of any description on it, and no distinguishing gender genitalia.   The face of the being was expressionless.  It didn’t speak and I felt no other form of communication (e.g. like telepathy).

 I felt no need within myself to make any sort of contact or to communicate in any way with the being.  It stood there for a short time, perhaps a minute or so, then as I watched, it simply started to fade away like someone had turned down the dimmer switch.  It became slowly transparent and kept fading until it was no longer there.

 I stayed awake for a considerable time to reflect on what had just taken place.  I was in a fully enclosed room with all exiting doors and windows shut. I was very mindful to check and make sure the doors and windows in the room I was in were all secure and shut.  I did this not from fear, but to try to determine if it had left the house by a logical route.  Nothing in the house had been disturbed including the doors and windows.  When I spoke to the other two occupants of the house the next day, neither of them had experienced anything.

 I have a few theories about what happened, but I have no facts on what took place other than the events I have described in here.

 I have not been visited in this way since, but I have a strong feeling I will see this being again.  I also have a strong sense that I will learn of it’s origins.

 I am very interested to hear from anyone else who has experienced a solid manifestation similar to my experience.
