I think I saw a shadow person tonight

[muckymucks]

I was going for a walk and up ahead where it was dark I saw this large figure. It was like mock walking, by which I mean it's something someone does when they're bored where they make exaggerated steps.

The first thing I noticed is that this figure was pitch black, it had no reflection whatsoever and it was big. He was tall (6'3, maybe) and muscular; he was large but I don't mean he was fat.

I took my eyes off of him for a moment and when I looked again he was gone.

I don't believe in gods or ghosts or demons or the afterlife, but then things like this happens and I can't explain them.

Probably just a series of dogs in a trenchcoat.

Well if it was dark it could have been someone walking past and you didn't notice them.

Or you're being haunted.

Nah. At least with sleep paralysis you know what's going on when it happens.

not necessarily.

Used to see them all the time, growing up. Went away when I stopped eating grains and was no longer exposed to a DECT phone. Something like kava or prolonged sleep deprivation causes them to return.

sounds like it's your mental state that causes them to become visible.

ever had a demon menace you on a DECT phone in your dreams?

Not exactly. It's fairly rare that what we consider technology appears in my dreams, at all. Never used a phone in a dream that I can recall either. Computers will appear though, and are usable. Clocks too actually, digital included. I do have a lot of dreams where I'm driving though.

You've stated previously that a person should not tell anyone their dreams, but anyway. On one occasion I had a series of looping false awakenings centered around a machine that was generating some sort of signal, and I knew I ahd to get to it and turn it off. I start going through the house, stop at a window and see a vehicle pulling into the yard. Wake up in bed again, I get to the machine this time but the details of what occurred have faded. I didn't turn it off and ended up wandering around in the woods, being pursued. Wake up in bed again, this time an orange light is pouring in all of the windows. Nothing outside except for an orange void. I get to the machine, I'm going to turn it off, and then my mother appears. She starts trying to convince me not to, that it's probably fine, just leave it alone, etc. I don't recall ever turning it off, though I wasn't falling for it. That time I woke up and unless this is still a dream years later (plausible) I must have done whatever was needed to wake up outside the loop.

whenever i heard the "Unsolved Mysteries" theme, i used to think there were shadow people watching me. that theme is extremely unnerving.

Befriend the shadows.

They are helpful.

they're even worse if you happen to have one while getting a mug shot by the police. it will not help you in any way.

you have a very rigid personality and it necessitated certain actions to get the phone to stop menacing you, which owing to your rigidity and the specificity of how it operates would result in it menacing you via other means if the phone-contagion were allowed to prosper. such as following you around the woods, eventually culminating in your murder in a random cabin in the woods as you continue to run from it. then you became an inspector, and bureaucrats you'd known for years would suddenly split open into a phone-bat-vampire to menace you. and when you'd shot them they'd run away. only to spontaneously appear the next time you felt vulnerable.

you viewed this reality revision as a dream, as well as the series of iterations and explorations which resulted in a fix for the issue.

If I recall correctly it was about memory trimming, which is a simple fix but you need to leave someone alone with it for a few years to see what they do and if they use it to harm themselves or others a lot. Y'know more than people do with comparable tools, like staplers.

Usually the phone scared you so much you ran back to bed, and since this constituted an escape the phone would force you to repeat the scenario until you confronted it, thereby seeding the fear borne of your rigidity. Which somewhat ironically only happens as a result of the phone being such a rigid creature.

This has left you with a complex regarding rigidity, and rigid behaviorisms.

the issue with talking about dreams is it can cause you to be associated with those forgotten realities, or for someone else to associate you, and remind god that he enjoyed messing with you in this way. which he might do in dreams, or might just tax everyone with a day revision by doing it in real life and getting caught because he has literally no self-control. for reasons remarkably similar to the rigidity complex, if you wanna talk about that.

and if you associate your identity it can also be a marker point for someone, say a global fascist network of datamongers, to do things which will remind god for god.

based on current information trends, signaling, narratives being pushed, memes being repeated, it appears they want god to believe he is trapped inside of a cycle of some sort. ie his own head, literally, which he must escape. thereby forcing him to run around in circles forgetting all the evidence contradicting this omnipresent narrative.

my proximity to god makes me display similar mannerisms, and attempts to manipulate me in similar ways have displayed I'm not infact a contiguous identity with him. the reason I'm participating in this is to make the larger case that gos, who is legally named Marcus (as is his evil clone,) is not really at fault for what's happening right now. and is doing the best they can to manipulate the script's own manipulations of their mind to fix things. as much as people will allow anything to be fixed, if it makes them feel less powerful.

again, a complex borne of god's eminent reality. a disorder; munchausen by proxy. on a physical level.
