The Encounter

The experiencer had an encounter in late 2018 while dreaming. They felt vibrations and became aware of their body in bed. They began to levitate through their apartment and saw Los Angeles below. Suddenly, they found themselves in a dark room where they encountered a large praying mantis being. The being communicated with them telepathically.
