Dreaming.

The way I dream is odd. It's much like lucid dreaming, only I've left it up to my subconscious what exactly will show up in the dream. Whatever I'm in the mood for usually pops up, however the thought behind it all is very abstract from what I myself might think up as a scenario in my consciousness. And the details in my dreams are far greater than that I've heard from other people's dreams. I think it has something to do with a greater mind capacity, possibly the reason why I find it so hard to concentrate on one thing at a time as I am always trying to think many things at once and end up losing track of what I was originally thinking. When I'm in a dream it feels so close to reality, even though I know that it's a dream. I have full control of my actions within the dream and if I don't like how it's turning out I am easily able to find a way out.

Despite my odd dreaming habits, I have never seen this man in my dreams, or at least I don't remember ever seeing him, though there's an odd feeling of spooky déjà vu. Upon seeing the picture I wasn't so much revolted as I was absolutely fucking terrified of the image. Although I have felt faint bad vibes come off of certain people in the past, I have never had such a sure and strong bad vibe come out of anything as big as the one this image portrayed to me.

Now, even though there's a possibility that people could be seeing the same man in their dreams, I think it has more to do with how revolting the picture is. The eerie feeling that one gets when seeing such a thing can often confuse people, and when offered something as vague as their dreams to blame the déjà vu factor on, they are quick to place him somewhere and burn the image in their head. It is possible for someone to replace things in their dreams and memories so that they confuse them with real memories or hide things from themselves which are too traumatic to handle. A spook factor given by this image would be a simple enough trauma to allow those who see it to simply modify their cached dreams with the image. Since people apparently don't remember or see proper faces in dreams (I don't know if this is true since my mind seems to be capable of designing faces and even full projections of false people from scratch) it would be very easy for them to plant the image where they couldn't fully remember a face and say it was him.

The thing is, the theory that he could be someone in reality hijacking dreams could very well connect to me being able to think up my own dreams. Since I have control over my dreaming, this could be the reason why he has never showed up. Other "weaker" dreamers who seem to not have the ability of control that I have may have really wide openings for people to get into their heads and mess around with their dreams. Though when I read through all the supposed dreams containing the man, a couple displayed possible similarities to my own dreams, especially the one involving the slit throat. I've had a dream where somebody finished me off by slitting my throat because I was in fear of something worse happening (and since my dreams are very realistic, pain is something that is emulated way too well within them). I don't even remember who it was, and it most likely wasn't the man in question, but it's definitely got some relations.

Well, for the moment I'm going to say that it's gotta all be a big hoax. Like I said, somehow this image must be manipulating people into thinking that they've seen him before, and somehow the image was made up by some team of psychologists that know how to get into one's mind. It's the only explanation that makes any sense to me, really. The theories on the site all contain some level of religious/supernatural/magical mumbo-jumbo, so there's really no realistic explanation as to how a few thousand people have spied this weirdo while in dreamland. So it may as well be a hoax.
