Hah, I did that for a while too - always freaking out, thinking Zetans could get me at any moment.
I think we often freak out just because it's something to do - it's interesting to fear some edgy new enemy. It's good to have a defense, of course, but the odds of having a bad abduction are not much higher than being hit by lightning. Eventually I realized it's not my biggest concern
I do think our apparent reality can be toyed with in many ways. 3 times in the past few years, I was thinking about reptilians, and suddenly the words I was thinking would appear somewhere in reality - like I'd see them on someone's shirt. It's pretty amazing. I haven't had many problems with reptiles that I know of. They are just stuck-up and occasionally express it in the physical environment.
I've been studying the inner workings of reality, and it really is a bit like the Matrix. There are layers upon layers of filters put there to make the universe perceivable to our little minds, and that leaves a lot of room for trouble-makers to butt in and alter what we see.
From what I understand, objective reality (the most real thing) is a set of raw data created by the inevitability of the universe, this data organizes into concepts, which are turned into physical space by a certain system (I haven't figured out what it is yet, but I'll call it the physical matrix) that interprets data as atomic patterns, these patterns are perceived by our atomic bodies (still existing within the matrix) and this information is routed to our minds by the physical matrix, and then our minds interpret what we're seeing by factoring it in with past experiences, and create a little holographic universe out of it. Our minds, notably, seem to exist on the upper data layer - not in physical form
So if an entity were to toy with any of these layers, they could have you perceive things that aren't there, or prevent you from perceiving things that are there (as many do). There could be solid physical objects (or beings) around you that are omitted from your perceived universe
I think the physical matrix is there to make things simpler for young minds like ours (most of ours). It interprets data so we don't have to. You know how hard it is to stay coherent when you're dreaming - when you're not attached to any one matrix and you have to do your own interpreting. It's more complicated, although it's less corruptible and far less confined.
So if my model is correct, dreams are more real than our everyday reality - just less familiar and less certain. They say the sorcerers of ancient times were mostly dreamers - a person can theoretically 'graduate' from the physical matrix by learning to dream
A friend of mine told me few days ago she started to hear voices while hypnagogic state, she noticed some beings who call us "the evolutives". this have a lot of sense to me.
I think all the evolutive organisms tend to develop self consciousness, more or less but it happens, as humans we are steping on the edge of consciousness and phisical insctinct, our brains are dual(one racional one for abstract perceptions), each hemisphere have a fight with the other, left hemisphere tends to count, meassure, classifying, being "realist"; the other tends to detect abstract stuff, like presentiments, creativity, muse inspiration, feelings, DREAMS, etc.
Some of you have feel sometimes like you are the evil one, the rebel being, black sheep or the crazy one, having fear asking them selves things like: "Is this the right path? Am I playing the roll of the fallen angel or rebel with god? Do I need to change and be normal?"etc. It is because society is trying to create a left-brain humanity.
Individuals who develop aspects of right hemisphere tends to be eccentrical like musicians, writers, mediums, artists or some supposed “irregular” behaviors.
Our right hemisphere is the bridge who links our phisical experience with the espitirual world. The ideas are throwed to that intangible realm and can be catched for another person who has the "inspirational muse". How many times we have djavus or the feeling of having listen a song before or as we were created it. You can send mental images and see it in the astral plane as well, for example:
Another friend was singing at work listening his ipod, so when he got in the office, all was serious, they tell him: do you hear that noise? it was like a ghost yelling, my friend laugh them(because he was singing but he's not a good singer hehe), so they take the pause for lunch and rest about 2 hours, he got slept when he start with the vibrations. In that astral proyection he saw a ghost yelling horrible, he tried to fight with it but he woke up.
What I understand here is a lot of people sending a mental idea to the astral plane, so I see it like a mind atmosphere, we can project what we think, and this dimentions is full of mind residuals, entities grappled to the phisical world, and another beings like zetas, reptilians or some of them who can moving between various planes.
I think next step of the human evolution is something to transcend consciousness beyond death.
