The Sphere


This is a very old nightmare of mine.

It's always been a wish of mine to see a UFO; I've been interested in them for ages. My mother and brother have seen UFOs--my brother TWICE--and I am so incredibly jealous! One occasion was a night my mother had for some reason asked if I wanted to go to bingo with her--of course I said no, as I hate bingo. My brother accompanied her on the way home, at least, and when they returned they both talked of a UFO they had seen, some strange triangle of lights which didn't fit the description of a plane. I was so furious that I had missed it!

My brother has an additional tale of spotting one, along with our aunt who was babysitting us when I was very little. The two of them saw a glowing object in the field across the highway and watched it for a time before it flew away. I was in my bedroom at the time and yes, I missed it. RRGGHH!! Of course, back then I was far too young to have appreciated it even if I had seen it, but it still pisses me off.

I can't be sure if my brother's telling of that early sighting influenced this dream or not, though based on what happened in the dream it's possible.

In the dream, I was in the living room at night and by chance I glanced out the big picture window. It was pitch black outside but I saw this odd glowing object way, way in the distance. In real life there are trees lining the opposite side of the highway, not to mention a big maple right in our yard, but these didn't seem to obstruct the view. I looked at this strange glowing object for a moment, then turned away.

After a minute I turned back. It was still there, but closer, now. Like maybe at the near end of the field. I turned away, then back. And it had come even closer. Maybe it was about as far away as the highway or the edge of the yard, even. Just this big glowing white sphere, maybe three or four feet in diameter. My anxiety was rapidly increasing and I hurriedly turned away.

Curiosity got the better of me, however, and I at last turned back. The glowing sphere was gone. But then...as I watched, this glowing white ball slowly rose up into sight...right in front of our window! I froze in terror!

That must have been when I awoke, for I remember nothing else. I should state that even though it's been an old wish of mine to see a UFO, it's also an old fear! o_o
