‘It was in a dream that was, so strange, so realistic, I honestly would not have thought fae until someone I knew mentioned something from an old Celtic story. I was, still am with a person who is emotionally abusive, I try to see the best, think people don’t know better. But I remember there was this man who looked so young but wise, lovely long blonde pale hair, light skin that almost had slight glow. I was so upset earlier in real life. The man calmly approached me, and I somehow knew it was ok to hug him. He was dressed in light-colored regal robes with some circlet type head piece on, his eyes were light-colored, I remember looking into them, and just hugging him and crying, he smelled subtle like a faint hint of jasmine and something else pleasant. He said nothing, just hugged me back and comfortingly stroked my back. I seemed to cry and cry for hours. Like I had to let something out. But the man was ok with it, I knew that somehow, he understood. You see I have Aspergers, I had not so good a life, and I cannot take care of myself fully, kind of an adult cat. So while I have not had this exact experience again, I will dream when it’s too much when I’m so close to breaking that someone will let me cry and let me ask what I did etc. Sometimes there are just regular looking people, but I wake up feeling calmer like I have the strength to get through whatever is going on, they are rare… Yet I find the dream ones to be different than other in the world encounters.’ ‘It was just like the man was trying to give me peace and comfort, I felt no ill will from him.’ Very beautiful tall man, he almost looked unisex, yet there was enough there to see he was male. He was really pretty though.’ ‘I only recall hearing small noises in the wooded area with a castle or some nice stone structure in the background.’ ‘I have no idea if this area has any fae things tied to it.’ Why do you think your experience was a fairy experience, as opposed to a ghost or an alien or an angel or some other type of anomalous experience? ‘I just knew, it didn’t seem to fit these other things, something about the man and the autumn leaves and lighted area and he himself, just seemed to say afe [?] of nobility or higher ranking? I am no fae expert.’ Fairies ‘are whatever they are, as long as they do not harm me I have no ill will to them, they seem to be protective and mischievous mostly.’ ‘I would love to know what the man was, or if I can thank him. You know that really helped me.’
