A Man in a Black Suit with Red tie

So in this dream was about last year and the location felt like I was in Ibiza, Spain where the walls were made out of clay type material, a very vintage look persay. I was headed to an outdoor house party where I was meeting some people that I was really close to, but I have never met them in real life. As I was approaching the entrance towards the party. Alot of people attending the party could not take their eyes off me like I was some type of celebrity. I even had the slow motion walk and all. Needless to say, my group that I was going to see were in the back in some type of reserve area. As soon as I had my gaze upon them and they notice me, they laughed and smiled as they were pleased to see me. All expected the man in the black suit with a red tie. He didn't strike fear in me or any of that sort. It was more of a normal emotionless stare. He look a bit on the older side with slick back hair and I knew he was super older than what he looks, he felt like he was old as time itself. It almost felt like his was some type of father figure. Said hello to everyone and to the man in suit as well. When I sat down I could see myself in the third person and he told me that he wanted to tell me something important, again there was no emotion in him so it didn't feel dangerous or a threat of any kind. It felt like more of an advice for me. But as soon as he leaned to whisper in my ear, I woke up lol. And I couldn't stop thinking about this man from time to time......fast forward to a couple days ago I was meditating laying down with some crystals, I started to feel like I was in between lucid dreaming and being awake. And guess who showed up, the same man form the previous dream. I felt like he was staring at me face to face like he was floating since I was laying down. But this time I recall a brown jacket instead of black suit. With the same expression on his face. He once again leaned to my ear about to tell me his advice but I woke up once more. Has anyone ever dreamt about this man before?

Devil Smiled and Waved

So I'm just going to copy and paste what I wrote the moment I woke up at 3:00am from this.

"what the fuck just happened to me?

in my nightmare I was in my apartment with a couple people I don't know. I had taken shrooms and was just tripping throughout the night, then I saw the devil for a moment, full form, and he smiled and waved at me, very friendly - I was aware that I was tripping on shrooms but unaware that I was dreaming. All of a sudden I'm in front the house where I grew up. As I take my first step to cross the street toward the house, I see two cars coming from the right, speed pass by me. One of the cars is mine being driven by my cousin.. Everything happens in slow motion.. I see the cars super slowly go past me.. but all of a sudden, I'm in the air... then I'm on the ground with blood in my hands, my teeth are gone, I obliterated.

My own car hit me while they were racing. I'm in the air, slow motion i don't see anyone but i hear my mom's voice yelling "omg, omg, omg, Elijah's dead" and I remember thinking "wow...i'm gone..." and thinking that the DMT experience was about to kick in and I was about to have a spiritual experience.. I start floating above my body in peace then I woke up...scared, shaking, and crying. Now I can't sleep."

​

When I was 7 years old and in the exact spot where I was about to cross the street. A man at the stop sign signaled for me to go ahead and he actually tried to run me over. Maybe it's related to trauma of some kind..

Black lion

Was walking around a school with someone aware that I was dreaming but not lucid. Someone was yelling at me and the only way I could get them to stop is to yell back but that uses dreamergy ( dream energy, which would cause me to wake up) (I narrated this as it was happening) I ended up just walking away and out of the classroom. Everyone in the hall was looking at something behind me and then started screaming(getting chills just typing this) so it goes to slow motion as I turn around I see the black guy who was yelling at me prior jumping towards me and morphing into a black lion. I scream and it starts going super deep toned. It lifts me into the air and all the people disappear and the hallway goes dark. Then it shakes me around and I wake up. Then as I’m trying to remember my dream I fell asleep and had the exact same dream

Died and went to hell?

Okay, so I have lucid dreamed very often in my life to the point where Any dream for me can turn into a lucid dream.

Last night, I had a dream that I was in the middle of a dark road and got picked up by a figure wearing an all black suit, white undershirt, and black hat. Obviously things lead up to this but I don’t remember exactly what. I got into the car and we drove around in silence until the figure finally spoke.

The car was black as the road and I could only make out his voice asking me if I wanted to “make a deal” I can’t remember the context of the deal but I wish I could. Once the deal was made, he drove into a wall and everything exploded in slow motion. My head detached from my body, eyes still working, and me looking at his dismembered body next to me. Suddenly, a shock of light hit me and I was whole again. The figure appeared, but this time in a more demonic state(with green eyes) and before he rushed to me he said “aren’t you glad we made that deal?” And I woke up.

I don’t know the meaning of this, and honestly it sounds like the end of a horror movie. Any advice is appreciated.

Okay, so I have lucid dreamed very often in my life to the point where Any dream for me can turn into a lucid dream.

Anyone have answers?

Hey, first time post, but I'm coming to reddit in seek of answers. I have searched the web but nothing I have found quite describes what is going on.

So

This has been happening to me for awhile, I'm not sure when it started but once in a blue moon I wake up, yet I am not awake. Sounds like sleep paralysis right? Well, this is where my case deviates. I would call it more of a dream like state than actually being awake and not in control of my body. I can move, though it feels like im wading through molasses and everything feels slow motion. If I want to, I can force myself to snap out of this dream like state and wake up for real. If I do choose to fully wake myself, I have to get up for at least an hour before I go back to bed otherwise I will just slip back into that state. When I am like this, I tend to get some odd encounters. The reason I am writing this post is because it happened to me last night and id finally like to see if anyone has answers.

Example 1 (last night); this happened id say around 3 or 4 am. Have you ever heard what an Aux speaker sounds like when its on and not plugged in? Thats the kind of noise that filled my ears. The best way I could describe it is as if you were underwater and that water started vibrating. I don't know how long it lasted, its always hard to tell. Anyway, at one point I somehow forced it to stop, I dont remember how and then it was like I was having a conversation with someone inside my head. It was as if I could hear my thoughts out loud and someone was responding. The conversation is really hazy in my mind but I think the word "queen" was mentioned. Your guess is as good as mine. My memories of the moment really bleed together and its hard to describe. Anyway, I remember that the conversation stopped and I submitted to the vibrations again. Another moment of time passed with me enduring it, then I forced it to stop once more. I had another conversation, the sensation was similar to the previous one but this time I was talking to a man. I dont remember the conversation, sorry. After this I wanted it to stop so I forced myself to wake up. Your choice whether you believe me but that was my experience.

Example 2; this was a few months ago maybe a year (I'm writting this one out because I remember it vividly)

For some context, I have a bunk bed that I share with my younger brother and at the time I was missing a box that had some that I had gotten for Christmas (about the size of an earbuds box). This experience took place near morning, and unprovoked I had entered the state that ive described earlier. Have you watched hunter x hunter? Well if you havent, pull up Google and search something along the lines of "gon shadow form", That'l give you an almost perfect rendition of what I was open my door. I had sat up in bed at this point, so I had a great view as it came into my room and crawled underneath the bed. As you can imagine, absolute terror was pumping through my veins at this point, and I remember screaming something along the lines of "get away you muppet fuck" at it. Not my finest moment for sure, I had a good laugh about it later that day. Anyways, apparently my battle cry intimidated it enough to make it come out from under the bed and shut the door behind it as it left. Safe to say, I made sure to stay awake for an hour before going back to bed. When I did wake up in the morning, curiosity got the better of me and I checked under the bed where it had retreated from. Lo and behold, the box I was looking for stared back at me. Note that I had checked everywhere for this thing, lifted up mattresses and checked under there at least 3 times and I have a clean room.

So yea tl;dr is I screamed "get away you muppet fuck" at a shadow man just trying to return my headphones

Anyways, if you have any theories about whats plaguing me, feel free to let me know
