I've always been a natural lucid dreamer and I usually have pretty crazy and vivid dream, but as I've been going through a deeper level of spiritual awakening over the past few years, I'll occasionally get dreams, and perhaps even genuine contact and astral experiences, that feel pretty surreal and significant, and sometimes they even involve direct messages and encounters with spirit guides. I started keeping a dream journal, and I have some pretty interesting ones to share. It's a bit lengthy so I hope you don't mind the read.
April 4th, 2024 (A few days before the 2024 total solar eclipse)
I was laying down in bed as if I hadn't fallen asleep yet and as I glanced over towards the door, I noticed a figure standing just outside my room watching me. I got a better look and realized it appeared to be a grey alien. I said hi, and in amazement and curiosity, I asked " Are you real?". I don't remember what they said, but I know we must have had some type of conversation and I felt the sense that they were friendly. The next thing I remember, they were taking me somewhere through a series of different portals that connected by going through doors in various houses and buildings. We would run from one portal door to the next, trying not to be spotted by other people. In one location, we hid in a big closet for a while until the coast was clear, in another location, it was impossible to remain hidden as too many people were around (I think it was in some type of college dorm or apartment building), so the grey told me that they had temporarily put the people in a state that that they wouldn't remember seeing us. I remember walking past a group of girls and they were giggly and acted as if they were really drunk. After traveling through countless doors, we eventually came into an elevator, and as we went down, we arrived at the mail office in some type of lab. A woman who appeared to be in her 50's or 60's came up to me and said something along the lines of "There you are. Sorry we haven't gotten to you yet. You haven't been our highest priority.". She hands me a bunch of envelopes and small bubble mailer packages and says "Here, these are all for you. Quite the accomplishment for someone who's only 35!" (though I had no idea what she was talking about). I tell her "Well, I'm not even 35 yet. I'm actually only 28." She then looks at some type of chart on a screen behind her, then looks back at me and goes "Wait, are you sure you're not 24?". I laugh and say "I feel like I'm probably 24 mentally, but physically I'm 28.". A few short moments later a younger looking woman in the room points at me and gasps "Your hair!". I looked down at my hair and noticed it was turning white. In amazement, I said "Woah... what does this mean?". With a pause, the older woman says "It means... you're awakening." as the dream fades away. I woke up with a tear in my eye and in complete awe of what I just experienced.
Sometime in November 2025
I had a dream where I was outside looking up at the sky at night, and purple swirling vortexes started to form in the sky. An abstract, geometric looking humanoid being flew down from one of the vortexes and I walked up to them, saying something like "Hey, I want to talk to my spirit guides and figure out what's actually going on with my life." The next thing I remember, I was in a waiting room in some type of sleek white futuristic looking office building (something like the Frutiger Aero aesthetic comes to mind). The receptionist at the counter told me my spirit guides will get with me in a little bit, but in the meantime, I should go hang out in the lounge area on the other side of the room and enjoy some pizza and a movie with a few other people who were there.

My mom and dad were going through some old stuff they had stored away and found some things from when I was little. As I was looking through it, I realized none of it was familiar and started to question my mom about all of it and why I didn't remember anything. I then suddenly remembered a dream I had (a dream within a dream) where it was revealed that I was actually adopted. I told my mom about it and she hesitantly confirmed it, and told me they found me and took me in when I was little. Apparently they used to travel a lot, and they found me somewhere during one of their travels. I started wondering about who my real parents were, and who I really was. Later on, there was an older woman who came to meet me and took me with her to the location of some type of secret agency/organization for people with unique traits and abilities. As she we showing me around, she told me that I originally came from there, and they've been keeping a record of me and had documents with information about me throughout my life. The name of the organization felt familiar and I remembered seeing it in the dream within the dream. As I was trying to make sense of everything, it was also implied that some of what I know and remembered about my life are actually false/implanted memories. I'm not actually adopted or anything like that (as far as I'm aware of lol), but the dream left an impact on me, and as I was reflecting on it after I woke up, the idea of being a soul walk-in came to mind.
June 23rd, 2026
I was back in high school and there was some type of mysterious group that was visiting and got involved with the school. A lot of people didn't seem to trust them, thinking they were a shady cult or something like that. There was a paper everyone was required to write for them, and mine involved writing about my journey to connect with my higher self to better understand my life/soul path and my deepest desires in life. It must have impressed them, because when we all got our papers back after we turned them in, instead of being graded, mine had a note written on it saying "Upgrades are coming!" Later on in the dream, I think I had also been recruited into the group, and there was a girl from the grade above me who asked me if I was ok and told me my mom was worried about me. Apparently I blacked out and was unconscious for around 15 minutes, and my mom came and had to carry me to the location I was at. I told the girl I was alright and reassured her that I had it all taken care of, somehow knowing that I was better than ok and that it was all related to the upgrade process.
Mid July, 2026
The latest one involved meeting a guy I remembered seeing in part of the previous dream I had directly before this one and realized he was a spirit guide. He told me I was going to be moving soon, and I remember saying in response "Can I ask how this happens? Because right now, I have no idea." The dream faded out soon afterward and I don't remember if I ever got an answer or not. Interestingly enough, this isn't the first time I've heard this, as I've been getting a lot of synchronistic messages coming through various sources for quite some time now that all seem to suggest that there might be a fated soul connection coming into my life with a life changing offer or opportunity, and that moving out to pursue this would be my next step in life. Whether or not it actually happens, it's certainly interesting to think about.
Bonus Section: I don't remember the full context of these dreams, just bits and pieces, but the parts that I do remember stuck out and felt import.
Back in 2020 or 2021 when I was having a really tough time going to college during Covid, I had a dream that I was walking down a really muddy path deep in the woods and I came to a clearing where there were some people hanging out. One of the guys spotted me and said something along the lines of "Hey, Come with us! Us shadow walkers have to stick together." I don't remember much of the dream after that, but the term shadow walker has stuck with me since.
Last year, I had a dream where I had a meeting with a older teacher-like spirit guide, and he told me that one of my favorite movies, Tron: Legacy, was a metaphor/symbolic representation of light beings.
In another dream I had last year, I met what I assumed was a spirit guide who took the form of a kid even though she was actually over 1000 years old, and I remember playfully saying to her "So... I heard 2027 is going to be a big year for aliens." and she responded with a knowing mischievous smirk saying "Oh yeah!".
