A strange occurance...

Okay. This happened a month ago. I didn't think to post anything about it until now for some unknown reason, but maybe posting it will get the attention of others and perhaps I can find some people who have had the same, if not similar, experience.

Before I recount the event in question I will state that I'm a strange guy. I've dabbled in some strange things. And I seen some even stranger things. I've done drugs. I drink. And I dream. That being said, I feel very confident in A.) my sanity, and B.) my grasp on the real, physical world, and C.) my understanding of the Esoteric, Spiritual side of things.

Now, the event in question occurred the night of Tuesday, October 26th or in the early morning hours of Wednesday, October 27th. I spent that evening reminiscing with an old friend of mine and preparing myself for a callback on a possible theatre job. My fiance, Vicki, was away I Ohio, tending to a family affair so I went to be by myself that evening and relatively early, as I recall. Though I cannot be certain of exactly 'when' it occurred I can't help but feel it was right after I had finally fallen asleep. Being extremely photosensitive I awoke when a bright light was inexplicably shining from the bathroom door into the bedroom. All the lights in the bathroom were switched off and the dim, bluish light from the bathroom window wasn't bright enough to shine in the way this particular light was shining. The bathroom door was pushed almost to the closed position. After a few seconds the source of the light moved around the edge of the door and into the bedroom. The best way I can describe it is that it looked like a glass rod, about 4 feet long, floating off the floor, that had many beams of light shining from it in all different directions parallel to the ground. The rod moved to the foot of the bed and stopped. Then all the 'beams of light' stopped moving and focused together on one side of the room and then passed over me from right to left. While this was happening, I was frantically searching behind me to find the cordless phone we keep in our room. The LED screen is so bright that it almost lights up the whole room. I found the phone and pressed the screen, pointed it toward the object but then it was gone.

My heart was pounding. I sat there for a few moments, awe struck. Then I though, "Okay, I need my dogs to get in the bed with me." I shined the phone to my left on my dog, Java, who was on the floor a few feet from the bed. When I saw him I was a little more frightened. Java seemed to be 'frozen' like he was laying down and started to get up but only half of him got up. I stared at him for a moment and then called his name. He did not move. Again, a little louder. He shook his body and stood up, coming to the bed, but when I patted the bed he would not get up in the bed with me. I even grabbed his collar and pulled him up onto the bed and he immediately jumped down. My other dog, Zen, was, I presume anyway, passed out in the bathroom.

After a few moments, I shook my head and said to my, "I have a long, hard day tomorrow, I don't have time for this shit" and I stuck my head under my pillow and went to sleep.

Since this happened I've thought about it a number of times and talked it over with a few people. They, along with me, are baffled and have little to nothing to say in response. I don't feel like this was a "spiritual" experience. It 'felt' mechanic. Like it was too precise, to geometric to be ethereal.

I don't know what to think, but maybe posting it will help me find some answers.
