FROM THE BOARDS
Reader Asks Fellow Experiencers How One Ought to Greet a Figure in the Doorway
A Reddit user posting to r/Experiencers seeks counsel from others who have woken to find a being standing at the threshold of the bedroom.
THE INTERNET — A Reddit user posting to r/Experiencers has put a plain question to the board's membership: has anyone else woken to find a being standing in their doorway, and how did they react?
The post, titled "Has this type of encounter ever happened to you?", is brief. It supplies no description of the visitor, no date and no location. According to the post, the author wishes to hear how others responded upon waking and seeing such a figure.
The author adds a second request, asking what others would say to a person in that situation that they themselves wished they had been told. The wording suggests the writer is either seeking guidance for a personal experience or gathering the accumulated wisdom of the community, though the post does not say which.
The source offers no replies, no skeptical commentary and no mundane explanation. Readers acquainted with the sleep literature may note that waking to a sense of a presence in the room is a widely discussed phenomenon, though the post itself does not raise the matter.
As of this writing, the question stands open on the board, awaiting its answers.
