Waking up with unexplained marks again - same pattern as 2019

I'm posting this knowing I'll get skeptics telling me I'm delusional, but I need to document this properly. I've woken up with marks that I absolutely did not have before going to bed, and they match the pattern from an incident in 2019 that I've never publicly discussed.

Last night (20th Jan): went to bed around 23:30, normal evening. Woke up at 06:15 (earlier than usual, felt disoriented). Found three small marks on my right forearm - triangular pattern, about 0.5cm each, perfectly symmetrical. No pain, slightly raised like welts, but they weren't there when I showered before bed.

In 2019, I had nearly identical marks in exactly the same location. Saw a GP who said it could be dermatitis or allergic reaction, prescribed hydrocortisone. But they didn't behave like normal skin conditions - they didn't itch, didn't get worse or better gradually, just faded over ten days like they were on a timer.

The weird part: I have no memory of how they appeared. No gap in consciousness like typical missing time, just the marks as "new information" when I woke up. This is also the same as 2019.

I'm 34, in good health, no medications, no allergies I'm aware of. I live alone so no one else in the house. I'm not asking if I'm crazy - I've done the medical checks. I'm asking if anyone else has experienced repeated marks appearing with no explanation.

The triangular pattern appearing twice in identical locations across a five-year gap is significant. That's not random dermatitis - that's either a repeating medical condition or repeating intentional marking. Have you had any dreams or hypnagogic experiences either night (dreams just before waking)?

You should consider contacting a researcher who specializes in abduction cases. Not to confirm anything, but proper documentation and possibly hypnotherapy (if you consent to it) might reveal what's happening. Some researchers have protocols for exactly this scenario.

This could be several things: allergic reaction triggered by something in your environment (even on a delayed cycle), self-harm during sleep (real phenomenon), or something more unusual. The medical checks are important - make sure you've ruled out autoimmune and neurological causes first. Then you can look at less conventional explanations.

I have no memory of how they appeared. No gap in consciousness like typical missing time, just the marks as 'new information' when I woke up.

Keep a sleep journal from now on. What you ate before bed, what time you slept, any dreams you remember, mood, anything unusual in the days beforehand. If this happens a third time, you want as much context as possible.

Also: photograph the marks immediately next time it happens. Detailed, clear photos with timestamp. That documentation is your evidence if you need it later. And contact someone qualified before going to another GP - a researcher, not a doctor, will actually take this seriously.
