Experiences I still can't explain YET

obviously you were abducted by aliens, hypnotic regression will show you have had medical examinations and if you are lucky you might have an alien son or daughter waiting to be reunited with you. . . . or I could be wrong.

When I was in college walking home from the gym in a t-storm one night a flash of lightning hit so close that the sky turned white...like a photographic negative. The sound was instantaneous with the flash.

It's a good thing my pants were already wet.

Ok. I think this was Thursday night. I was asleep and felt something like tiny feet walk on me. I woke up and froze thinking it was like an animal or something. Again I felt the feet or whatever walk over me towards my chest. I began to feel the covers and looked for my phone to get some light. Nothing was there. Dude! It felt like baby feet! My son sleeps in his room, btw. Weird shit.

Because you were sleeping or half asleep, it's very likely a dream. The brain sometimes cannot tell the difference between a dream and a sleep, there's a real disorder where this happens very often.

I wish it happened more often. I don't usually remember my dreams, so a little fun would be very welcome

Have you ever woken up paralyzed from the neck down? It's part of the same type of problem, or it is one of the symptoms of that disorder (can't remember the name right now). It happens to me quite a bit. When I was a kid I saw this program that said it was because a ghost was sitting on you, scared me to death. It really is just normal for the body to be paralyzed during REM sleep and in some people they wake up while still paralyzed and have to wait before they get to move. It's pretty scary if you don't know what's happening.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_paralysis

Sleep paralysis is a phenomenon in which people, either when falling asleep or wakening, temporarily experience an inability to move. More formally, it is a transition state between wakefulness and rest characterized by complete muscle atonia (muscle weakness). It can occur at sleep onset or upon awakening, and it is often associated with terrifying visions (e.g. an intruder in the room), to which one is unable to react due to paralysis. It is believed a result of disrupted REM sleep, which is normally characterized by complete muscle atonia that prevents individuals from acting out their dreams. Sleep paralysis has been linked to disorders such as narcolepsy, migraines, anxiety disorders, and obstructive sleep apnea; however, it can also occur in isolation.[1][2] When linked to another disorder, sleep paralysis commonly occurs in association with the neurological sleep disorder narcolepsy.[2]

I had it once....I thought I was having a heart attack.

I've experienced sleep paralysis off and on for probably 15 years now. I didn't know what it was for the longest time, and it got to the point that I was afraid to go to sleep because I thought I was going to die. Now that I fully understand it, when it happens, I don't struggle and panic as much and I'm able to fall back to full sleep sooner. Very terrifying, especially if you don't know what's going on.

[Welcome kirolo.]

The meteroite sounds right for what Quill experienced. I wonder how prevalent it is for atheists to fear the unusual or unexplained. If that flash had happened when I was with my mother growing up she would have said it was the devil beating his wife.

Personally I get excited when something happens I can't explain. Once, back when I was *ahem* experimenting, on a night walk with friends I saw something glowing beside the trail. I got down and stared at it expecting a bit of glass reflecting the moonlight or some such. But no, it was some lichen or moss. Come to find out when I asked at the ranger's station later there is one that glows in the Point Reyes Seashore. Go figure.
