Bright light in the night

I had wanted to get this story off my chest for a while, however did not know anyone in my area who would take this literally. I am a logical thinker and always look at both sides of the spectrum when assessing life's mysteries. I am a firm believer in alien life and their possible influence or interactions with humans, but in this case I truly do not know what to classify this experience under. I stay up late, I'm a night time person, it's when I'm more alert and active.

So on the night in question I was laying in bed watching a show. I was beginning to doze off. Nothing abnormal. All I can recall is hearing a loud low frequency humming and the brightest light, all white, and suddenly I came to, sat up straight, gasping. I saw that the show I had been watching hadn't moved forward but was still where I remember watching it while awake. I felt odd, dazed and scared. It wasn't a dream, I love dreaming and I am a very vivid dreamer and know the difference. It's been plaguing my mind for weeks. My spouse said that it's not what I think it is. So I am reaching out here.[!gad]I had wanted to get this story off my chest for a while, however did not know anyone in my area who would take this literally.

The first thing that springs to mind is did you actually fall asleep or just thought you had. That would be a simple explanation for why the show you were watching was still at the same spot, and the noise you heard and light you saw could have been part of the show. My spouse said that it's not what I think it is. You haven't said if your spouse was watching the show with you, it would have been interesting to know that. Also if you thought to look at the clock when you 'woke up' to see what the time was, that would have helped confirm if you'd been asleep or not. Other than that I don't real... [More]
