Chapter Eight This session was focused on a particular experience of “L”. The background was that she had an appointment for a series of MRIs to be made to replace a similar series that had been made several months previously, but had been “misplaced” by the medical facility. She was worried about being able to go to sleep due to the strange events surrounding this loss of films. The MRIs were required for the ongoing therapy L was receiving as a result of an automobile accident which left her almost totally unable to use her left arm and in constant pain. After lying down, L had been thinking about the MRIs, and then there seemed to be a sort of “blank-out”, and she came to herself suddenly and found that there were three spidery type creatures battling to float her out of her bed. She was struggling to resist, gripping the brass head-board with her damaged left hand. One of the creatures was pulling on her by her ankle and she could distinctly feel a sort of “fuzziness” in the grip. All of her body, except for her shoulders and head which were held down by her grip on the bed, was suspended in air and being “sucked” into a sort of beam of light emanating from the wall to the outside of the house. The bed was shaking and bouncing When she came awake and became aware that she was struggling violently, she became angry and her resistance increased. At this point, one of the creatures placed his hand on her head and a powerful paralysis began to spread over her from the head down. This was causing her eyes to close forcibly. As she realized her helpless state, she became angry and “spoke” to the creatures in her mind saying: “You may be able to paralyze me and overcome my physical body, but I'll fight you with everything I have, every chance I get, so don’t turn your backs on me or you’ll regret it!” And, with every bit of will she could muster, she attempted to curse them out loud. The only thing she actually managed to do was emit a strangled groan as the paralysis had overtaken her vocal cords as well. But, a strange thing happened with the uttering of this sound. The creatures seemed to become confused and disoriented and began to chatter in strange clicking sounds to each other as they dropped L suddenly back on the bed. Then, they clustered together like frightened birds and just “melted” into a shimmery “curtain” beside the bed. with the “tug of war” taking place.
