One of my earliest memories from my childhood is a vivid nightmare, where a group of 3-4 large barn owls surrounded my bed, and without touching me, they lifted me up and out of my bed and took me out through my bedroom window - and thats where the nightmare ended. I’m aware that it doesn’t sound like an intensely scary dream, but this nightmare terrified me so deeply that for years after, I was unable to sleep in my own bed, and would make my parents hold my hands at night so that the owls wouldn’t come back and take me away again. I was around 3-4 years old when I had that dream, and prior to that dream I had never even seen an owl in person (according to my parents).
Although owls (specifically barn owls) still make me feel uneasy to this day (I’m 27 now), I’ve never really taken the time to put that much thought into the experience - until recently. I’ve read a few things in recent weeks about the possible connection between ufos and owls, as well watching the movie “The 4th Kind” for the first time recently due to the owl connection - and I really don’t know what to make of any of this.
Now this is going to sound slightly unhinged but - since I started thinking about and researching this topic a few weeks ago, owls have begun to show up at night outside of my house. Large owls perched on telephone poles directly outside my bedroom window hooting loudly. I even had an experience recently where I was riding my bike at night and a large owl followed me for roughly 3 miles flying literally 10-15 feet above me (it scared the absolute shit out of me). The weirdest part about this is the fact that I live in a busy suburb in Southern California, pretty far away from any wildlife reserve or untouched nature.
The reason I’m posting this here is because I want to know if anyone has had a similar experience or if there is some sort of prosaic psychological explanation to all of this. I don’t want to believe that I was abducted by aliens, or owls for that matter, I just want to know if anyone has had a similar experience.
