I am driving on the road. It is night. The road is deserted.
Then for no apparent reason, I mean, it is just an ordinary day... I see a light in the sky.
I... I cannot move. The fear dominates me, paralyzes me. I feel agony, but not pain. I cannot think, I cannot move.
My first instinct, even unable to reason, is to get out. To get rid of the problem.
I try to drive, but the car does not move. When I see, it is already too late. There is a light above me, and I feel like being pulled.
I pass through the glass, but fear numbs my pain.
My last conscious thought is:
"Why me?"
Now I am in a room. There is too much light in here. I am anxious to open my eyes to see what is going on, but I cannot keep them open for long.
"Help."
I think, but I cannot speak. It is all happening so fast.
A sound breaks the silence. I feel trapped. On a chair.
My mouth is opening but no one is touching it. I try to avoid it, but it is stronger than me.
The sound now resembles voices. Voices of a language that I have never heard. However, they do not sound like people. Where am I?
The voices have stopped, but I cannot tell if this is good or bad.
Finally, I can open my eyes. There are creatures. They are different from me. One of them approaches my ear.
At that moment, I discover what fear is. Every heartbeat lasts an eternity of suffering and agony.
Suddenly, that creature utters a sound. It is more like a grunt. Now I see movement:
"What is happening?"
It is my last thought before the tests begin. Silence and voices are now replaced by the horrible sound of machines.
There is something piercing my tooth My God, the pain! I pray for death, to end my suffering.
It is not just my tooth. I feel my blood drained. I feel my head punctured. I feel my skin stretched out.
When you are in a situation like this, the worst thing is the inability to react. To have to wait and see what will happen. Not knowing if you will be alive to see anything beyond this.
When just like that, almost as surprisingly as my abduction on that road, I wake up.
I wake up but I realize that from that moment on I would never be the same again. It was so real. I realize that my dream would change me forever in a way I never expected to be changed.
And no, I will not tell anyone. It will be a secret I will always keep to myself. But, after all, who would believe that I dreamed I was human.
