Entities: Small Being

  • Steven’s Paralyzing Examination Sequence

    Steven’s Paralyzing Examination Sequence

    Hopkins recounts Steven’s regression in which he describes lying immobilized while a short being examines a sensitive area of his stomach. A metal device spreads his legs, adding to the surreal vulnerability of the moment.

    Steven’s arms and legs rapidly become numb, a sudden paralysis that feels both real and dreamlike. He describes his state as being ‘like a frog,’ indicating a symbolic disidentification from his body.

    Hopkins interprets the sequence as an archetypal examination scenario, blending bodily sensation with dreamlike emotional shifts.

  • Barney’s Corridor Regression

    Barney’s Corridor Regression

    Barney’s regression includes a scene in which he is guided down a curved corridor inside the craft. The walls feel too close, and the air seems absent of sound. He experiences disorientation, as though the environment is shifting with each step.

    The corridor imagery resembles classic dream symbolism: a tunnel leading deeper into unconscious material. Barney feels both resistance and compliance. He cannot explain why he follows.

    Fuller uses this corridor scene to illustrate the symbolic texture of the Hills’ encounter as it emerged under hypnosis.

  • Night Vision of Entities Standing Beside the Bed

    Night Vision of Entities Standing Beside the Bed

    Cannon records a case where a subject awakens partially and sees small beings standing by the bed. Her body will not move, and the room appears subtly distorted. The encounter has the texture of a vivid dream combined with sleep paralysis.

    The beings communicate reassurance before lifting her into a new environment. The transition resembles a shift from one dream scene to the next. She feels both fear and fascination.

    Cannon presents this bedside visitation as a typical entry into altered-state encounters.
