An artist, recently awakened from a vivid nightmare, reported seeing a glowing red face hovering in his room. The mask-like visage featured serpent-like eyes and sharp teeth, accompanied by an eerie chorus of chanting voices. As the initial apparition faded, two glowing eyes remained visible in the corner of the room, prompting him to question the nature of the experience.
This event has sparked discussion about whether the phenomenon was a lucid dream or a manifestation of a tulpa, a thoughtform created through focused mental effort. Lucid dreams allow the dreamer some control but remain confined to the dream state, while tulpas are believed to exist independently within the waking mind. Without clear evidence, the experience remains open to interpretation, illustrating the complex boundaries between dream states and psychological phenomena.
