Now I began to berate myself that I should have been able to stay awake. I had missed an incredible opportunity to dialogue with the entity, to ask it a hundred questions, the kind of queries that humanity had been wondering about for thousands of years.

I vowed to myself that if the being should return--and somehow I felt that it would--I would be ready for the visit. And I most certainly would not fall asleep. I would stay awake and mentally analyze every moment of the experience so that I would be able to write about it later with vivid and exacting details. And then there were all those questions that I wanted to ask a visitor from another dimension.

The next evening I was just falling asleep when I became aware of a peculiar, metallic buzzing sound--the kind of buzz that one might imagine a mechanical bumblebee would make. I wondered if that had been the sound that had awakened me on the previous night. I lifted my head from the pillow, and I clearly perceived an eerie greenish light emanating from somewhere in the stairway. Without question, the strange buzzing sound was coming from a ball of light that was slowly moving down the hallway into the master bedroom. Whoever it was--whatever it was--it had come to pay a return visit. And once again, it had managed to quiet Reb and slip by his ever-alert canine vigilance. I felt my pulse quicken as I watched the green globe of softly glowing light move into the bedroom. I kept repeating a mantra of courage, telling myself over and over that I was not afraid. I was an accomplished and experienced researcher of the paranormal, and this was an excellent opportunity to study a most unusual manifestation at first hand. Most of all, I told myself that I would not under any circumstances fall asleep. The greenish globe hovered over my face for just a moment, then it moved over my sleeping wife's throat. Her mouth opened, and I heard the same soft voice commanding me to "Listen!"

I didn't have even a few seconds to attempt to struggle against the darkness that came over me. I didn't even have a moment in which to fight to stay awake, to resist sleep, to observe more closely the bizarre illuminated globe that had invaded the bedroom and my wife's body. After the command to listen, the very next sensory impression that I perceived was the light of dawn entering the bedroom windows. Once again, I had slept through the entire experience. Whatever the experience may have been. Why hadn't I been able to stay awake? How could the being have had that much mental control over my consciousness? I have always been a night person. Since leaving teaching as a profession, my average bedtime has been around 3:30 A.M. In addition to my habit of retiring at a late hour, I have, since early childhood, been pretty much of an insomniac, a very light sleeper and easily awakened. And once awakened, I find it very difficult to return to sleep.

So how could I, of all people, not be able to stay awake when a strange hooded being and/or a peculiar green-glowing sphere from outer space or from other dimensions invaded my bedroom? By the afternoon after the second nighttime invasion, I began to get a different view of the whole strange business. Shortly after I arrived at my office, I had the concept of a new book niggling at me. It occurred to me that I should write a book that would explore the phenomenon of such mysterious bedroom invaders. I was certain that the being was not a ghost, but some kind of paraphysical, shape-shifting entity out to accomplish some kind of mission or purpose.

Months passed, and I got busy on other projects. Then one night as I sat in quiet contemplation, I began to reflect on my near-death experience at the age of eleven in which a Light Being had shown me an incredible geometric design that instantly transmitted the awareness that everything was as it should be. As I beheld this remarkable multicolored form, I was given to understand that there was a pattern to the Universe, a meaning to life, an evolutionary spiritual destiny for humankind. I had been filled with a sense of deep euphoria and a feeling of oneness with All That Is.
