I've been having the same dream about three times a week for the past month and a half. I'm in Rendlesham Forest near Suffolk (I've never actually been there in real life), and there's this intense white light, and I can hear humming or some sort of frequency that makes my teeth hurt.

The weird part - and I know this sounds absolutely mad - is that I sometimes wake up with faint marks on my body. They're not serious, mostly small red marks on my arms or occasionally on my legs. I've mentioned this to my partner and they think I'm causing them myself in my sleep without realising, but I'm quite a still sleeper.

Has anyone experienced anything similar? Is this just my brain being weird or is something actually trying to communicate with me? The Rendlesham incident happened back in 1980 so I know there's history with that location. I'm genuinely unsettled by it.

Please see a doctor about the marks. It could be stress urticaria, contact dermatitis, or any number of medical things. Once you've ruled out the physical causes, then you can worry about the spooky stuff. Recurring nightmares combined with mysterious marks is worth getting checked out properly.

This is almost certainly sleep paralysis or night terrors combined with your subconscious creating a narrative around something else. The marks could be self-inflicted - nails, rough sheets, literally anything - and your brain is tying them to the dream because your brain loves patterns. Doesn't mean you're causing them intentionally, just that your body reacts to your sleep state.

Just because Rendlesham has a history doesn't mean you're being targeted by whatever happened there. Have you been reading or watching stuff about UFOs before bed? Your brain will absolutely manufacture experiences based on what you've been consuming. Keep a dream journal separate from the content you're consuming and see if there's a correlation.

The Rendlesham connection is interesting though. Some researchers reckon there's something genuinely unusual about that location - electromagnetic anomalies, military activity, something. Whether that's causing your dreams or whether you're just tuning into something is a different question. Keep the dream journal for sure, get the marks checked medically, and maybe avoid heavy UFO content before sleep for a week and see if the dreams stop.
