This story comes from my journal which I wrote the day after it occurred to me. It was an extremely stunning experience! I remember today as vivid as I did that night. I still ponder what it actually was.
In December 2005, early in the morning (3:33 am), I awoke to a degree in a half-state of consciousness. Just prior to awaking I had a dream of pure darkness. Not darkness in the comparison to a bad dream, but more as finding myself moving farther away from my physical state of being. (Yes, it does sound like an astral projection or an out of body experience; yet, I have had those experiences many times before and this was different, at least in ending.)
I was dreaming of my soul rising away from my physical body sleeping. I could see my body remaining on the bed. I passed through the curtains out of the window. I looked back at my home and then my neighborhood. Quickly I passed through the Earth's atmosphere. I saw the blackness of space with only stars far off being the only sources of light. This whole time I felt pure silence and numbness, exactly like my past out of body experiences.
Suddenly, I felt a whirlpool of energy spinning fast around me. (In my past OBE and AP I had never encountered this vortex of energy) Instantly, I was lying again in my bed. I was completely awake at this point; but, I could not move or open my eyes. I was paralyzed and awake. A growing energy mass was spinning just above my chest. It was making a very deep pulsating sound and the pressure on my chest from the energy form was intense. My eyes could still not open as I began to here the sounds of my fan running in the room and the vehicles on the nearby highway. The power source seemed to get louder and louder, yet it seemed now to be fully within my head.
After what seemed like minutes of paralysis, but with full awareness; I urged myself with all my energy to open my eyes. My eyes slightly opened and I saw the object of the energy/ noise. The best way it could be best described was a watery, blackish, void-like, and slightly transparent vortex spinning fast much like a tornado. It was just barely touching my chest with the small end of the cone-like vortex. As I was still frozen in place I opened my eyes fully; now I was not scared but mesmerized. Many things were running through my head; is this death, is this my soul, is this an entity of some sort, is this an abduction, is this a portal, is this a spirit? The sound became deeper and more like a "whoomping sound". I tried more to move, but I was still frozen in place. Now I was not scared in anyway. I just accepted the moment and closed my eyes. A soft warmness overcame my body. My breathing was so relaxed to a point that I felt no need to breath. The warmness spread and I felt that maybe this is my soul returning to my body after a journey. The ease and peace was intense. After a minute I felt whole again and complete. My eyes could now easily open as the feeling of tranquility grew. It was night and I was back.

Oberon and the Red Fox (2008)
This story comes from my journal. It was a strong astral dream I had in July 2009. My notes start with the following: "The astral dream was faint at first, then fast and powerful, then ended just at fast."
I was in a familiar forest and it was covered with downed branches, brush, and trees. I was not quite sure what I was doing. I do remember a presence, a large yet invisible presence next to and around me. I never saw the presence. It spoke to me in a deep yet calm smoothing voice.
I saw in the distance under the deep brush and broken branches; a scrappy, worn and old red fox. I remember a faint voice off in the distance saying not to approach the old fox. Suddenly the old red fox was wandering quietly towards me. Before I could move he was standing by my side. I wearyingly and cautiously reached my hand out. I felt no fear. He was very rough looking with large patches of hair missing. The old fox reached his head towards my hand and smelled it. Shockingly, he licked my hand and made a human-like smile.
Another voice (a different voice then before) softly and calmly said; "Oberon". I repeated the name in my head trying to remember where I have heard that name. Again the voice spoke out (slightly different); "Auberon". Then I recalled whom it was; Oberon, King of the Elves.
I suddenly awoke with a sharp breath of air.

A Strange Fellow (2012) Update!
UPDATE:
The day after I posted this story, I saw this fellow again!
I was driving out of my parking lot. Across my parking lot is a 4 way stop as two roads cross.
As I was looking at the crossing I saw a car proceeding through the the intersection slowly. Suddenly from a small forested area on one corner I saw the Strange Fellow come running out (almost like a 5 second flash). He ran diagonally across the intersection in front of the car driving through. The car never stopped and it appeared that the car drove right through him. As the car went past, the Strange Fellow was no longer there. He dissipated into nothing.
Starting to put some pieces together now about this guy. I have some theories (and no he is not a ghost) I am almost positive that he is a nature entity.
An Elf it be! Due to his clothing, skin color, and appearance overall; I can say he is probably of Germanic, Danish, Belgian, or Dutch locale. So you will say; "Then why is he in America?" Simple answer: All nature entities (faeries) will and do move about the world. They usually move around due to a few reasons:
1)They follow families they have been close to or attached to for 100's of years as they immigrate to new countries. A faeries life may be 100's to 1000's of years long; so when they relocate, they stay for 100's of years outliving the human family it followed. The faerie may wish to be left alone or they may wish to find a new family to attach too.
2)The faerie could have been summoned by someone. It is accomplished in organized ritual or by repeatedly asking and leaving offerings for such an entity to assist you, or by tampering in things you are not familiar with and accidentally getting the attention of such an entity.
3)People with inherent high levels of mystical talents can draw entities to them naturally. Once an entity comes to them; they may find the human to be a perfect companion to be around and attach themselves to that human OR the entity may find the human to not be right for their needs then the entity may wander off.
4)Wandering faeries. Just as some humans do, so do some faeries. Not all faeries like group life, so they may be loners. These loners are known as "wandering or solitary faeries". These faeries are complex to say the least. a)They may have been very malevolent and asked to leave the community or b)They just choose to seek solo adventure. Either way a solitary fae may be good spirited or bad spirited.
So from my break down: I think this Strange Fellow is definitely solitary. Beings my area was predominately founded by German immigrants in the very early 18th century and his attire looked like traditional 18th century German clothing (minus the weird large boots); he probably followed over one of founding German families as they immigrated. Now the family is gone or moved off and he is wandering solo.
I hope to see him again. Next time I will attempt to communicate with him.

The Strange Fellow (2012)
I was walking my dog in Mid-April in my neighborhood as always during the afternoon. We were in the middle of another Indian Summer (it was abnormally very hot, around 92F that day). Other than the heat, it was no different than any other day. I looked over to my left as I saw someone walking. However, this person looked very unique and odd, and I had never seen him before. A guy that looked like this I would definitely have noticed before.
He was oddly short, maybe 4ft. tall. He had strikingly white skin (When I say white I mean whiter than any goth or redhead person could ever be. I am talking paper white.) His nose was narrow and pointy. He had an Abe Lincoln like beard. His hair was blonde. He was very thin; yet not boney. His walking stride was kinda clunky and his upper body seemed to flow differently then his legs and feet.
Now his clothes were just as odd. Honestly, it was very much like lederhosen. (Never would you see in my state, city, neighborhood someone wearing lederhosen; except, very rarely at an Oktober-Fest in October only). The hat he was wearing was kinda like a "Robin Hood" type pointed hat (I cannot remember the color). His shirt was a short sleeved, lighter reddish color. He had suspenders on that were black or close to black. His shorts were dark brown and looked like leather. He was wearing socks to his knees (I cannot remember the color). He had large clunky, bulky boots that were a darker color.
Well of course this guy looks really odd, but his actions add to the mystery.
When I first saw him he had just came walking out out of nowhere and I swear it seemed as if he walked out of a huge evergreen bush (12ft. tall and maybe 20ft.long). He never looked once at me and I was only ~60ft. away. Both my dog and I starred at him with a kind of amazement. He just kept walking in a straight line towards a small forest (maybe 20 yards wide and 200 yards long). He eventually stepped into the not very dense forest. I instantly started walking towards the forest as well. Within 10 seconds after he walked in, I walked into the forest at the same spot. I could easily see 50-60 yards through the forest, but I did not see him. I was very quiet and listened to hear footsteps (the bottom of the forest floor has tons of crunchy leaves) but I heard absolute silence. I walked halfway through the forest and still saw and heard nothing. The Strange Fellow just vanished!
Since this encounter, I have never seen him again. Nor have I ever seen anyone in my community that even closely resembles this guy. I still daily walk through these woods with my dog and have never seen anyone ever in there. It is an oddly abandoned small forest... no real life, but crows,blackbirds and sparrows.

Old Friends Return (2012)
As always old friends return year by year. Not humans, but my dragonfly and butterfly companions.
In early May, I was sitting in my truck with the windows down at a red light in the deep city. I had my arm (as usual) resting on the the window frame. Suddenly a beautiful monarch butterfly flew down and landed on my hand. Its head was facing my face. It seemed to just be starring at me. I slightly moved my hand closer to my body and it stayed there not moving. Right before the light changed red, he put his head onto my hand (almost looking as he kissed me). Then he flew off as the light changed.
In late May, I was walking my puppy out in a huge open field. As I was watching my puppy, he sat down just gazing around. Next thing I knew a yellow/ brown small butterfly landed on his nose and starred at him. My pup stayed very still and seemed shocked. His eyes were crossed looking at his new friend. They both stayed there for about 30 seconds, before the butterfly said goodbye and flew off.
Early June, I was down at my community pool laying out next to the water. A wonderful blue/green dragonfly started hovering around my head. Then he just flew off. A minute later he returned and did the same thing and flew off. And again he returned a minute later, but this time he landed on my chest. He sat there looking up at me for about 45 seconds. A girl laying out next to me, said, "hey you have a dragonfly on you". Instantly the dragonfly took off. I told her, "I know. I was communicating with him". (She gave me the oooh kay look and nodded) Good times!
