𝙾𝙿: 𝚕𝚒𝚖𝚒𝚗𝚊𝚕_𝚕𝚊𝚞𝚗𝚍𝚛𝚢

I’ve woken up at 3:11 a.m. three nights in a row. There’s a tall shadow at the foot of my bed. Wide-brimmed hat. Long coat. No face. I can move, so it’s not paralysis. He doesn’t do anything. Just stands there.

Mine shows up during insomnia spikes. Same silhouette. No eyes. Doesn’t move unless I look directly at him. Feels like being audited by something ancient.

He’s not there to scare you. He’s there because you’re circling something you won’t admit.

At least that’s what it felt like for me.

Okay but this is textbook tulpa formation. Shared archetype + sleep deprivation = shadow dude with hat.

Not saying your experience isn’t real. Juᦓt saying the brain LOVES a hat silhouette.

When mine appeared, I was fully awake. Middle of a depressive episode.

He didn’t move closer. Didn’t threaten. Just stood there like he was waiting for me to say something.

When I admitted what I was afraid of, he tilted his head and faded.

It felt less like haunting and more like… confrontation.

Y’all are wild. This is a demon. Don’t engage it.

Mine didn’t ask for anything.

He left something.

Sleep researchers call this a waking dream intrusion. Shadow figures are common.

The hat detail is pattern recognition.

Brains are chaotic meat computers.

That said, the “confession” pattern is interesting.

You’re all missing it.

He doesn’t hurt you. He doesn’t help you. He waits.

That’s worse.
