Friend…. Or alien? 👽

I’m waking up in the passenger seat of my car and a friend is driving me home in the dead of winter in northern NH. Were mid conversation and I think to myself “Who is this? How come I don’t remember meeting this friend? They seem so familiar but I don’t know their name and can’t remember meeting them”, as I look around I feel less like I’m waking up and more like I’m loopy/still falling asleep. And then it clicks. I’m drugged. I fight the sleepiness and move quickly. I climb out the window of the car, as they laugh like a friend would listening to a joke, and land hard on the pavement as the car keeps moving. I turn and run towards traffic and wave my arms yelling for help. My “friend” has pulled over the car and is coming after me asking if I’m “serious” and to “get back into the car”. I continue waving my arms seeing nothing but headlights swerving me. Then I see someone on the side of the road facing the woods staring off. I fight the sleepiness of the drugs and yell to them then stop in my tracks. It’s not just me that’s feeling off. The man looking into the woods is stunned looking at something or someone. The cars stop coming. The “friend” caught up and stands next to me, not to harm me but to continue to convince me that I’m being silly and to get back into the car. I’m contemplating if I’m really in a safe place with this “friend” or if I’m safer outside where the world seems to be panicking. I stumble back to the car and have this overwhelming understanding the world has started to be invaded by aliens.

I woke up with sleep paralysis for only a moment but was able to break it.
