profound silence before the experience, unusually vivid memories of the experience, a sense that the experience marked a turning point in your life

‘I was resting from tending my garden, in the shade. And I saw movement in the lower tiers of under growth. It was a small human shape about six to eight inches high. It had an almost hazy field around it that made it difficult to see. I have no name for them except extremely odd. [It was] almost like it was pasted together of odd natural bits and bobs to form this shape. I did project my thoughts at it. I projected the feelings of welcome and safety. It startled and I took my gaze off of it and it was gone.’ ‘It could be an earth elemental, but it [was] six to ten inches tall. All kinds of ‘natural’ things like vines, roots combined to create the humanoid shape.’ What are fairies? ‘Don’t know but elementals seem related’.
