Meeting my guide

[jkjk8991]

I remember drifting away, noticing my subconscious take over. A scene was being played out, and I was part of it. Playing some sort of card game with friends. Soon the scene came into vision. I waited a little before I attempted to move. I moved and I was out in the dream world. I was laying on the ground with my friend jimmy near by. He sort of asked me, what do you want to do? I replied, "I want to meet my guide." I thought about it, places my intent on it, and suddenly found myself being pulled across the room into a much darker place, which turned out to be my room. I saw a dark hooded shadow figure approach me, I was a little anxious, but not afraid. The figure looked a lot like death with its black hooded cloak, but it was not threatening. It grabbed at me, and I felt it strapping me into something, I felt its hands grabbing me, though it had no hands when I first saw it. The hands felt strong, with hairy forearms, they felt a lot like my fathers. I think this entity felt this way to make me more comfortable, afterall I would not be afraid of my father. I wasn't sure what was happening but I trusted this entity. Soon it would all be clear. He strapped this thing on me, and told me I had to get used to this to be able to go up there, as he pointed upwards. At this point he had a face, maybe to be able to talk to me. I got a little apprehensive, I wasn't sure if he was talking about dying, I'm not totally afraid of death, just I feel I have so much left to do here. I asked if I would be able to come back down still, he was confused. I further explained asking if I would be stuck up there, he then told me no, to come up and down. He said this in a friendly way, sort of realizing my fear, and finding it a silly question. Then he grabbed me around my torso, bent his knees, and jumped and we flew around 40-50 feet in the air, but did it extremely quickly. As I started down I saw the thing strapped to me was a parachute(again, I think to make me more comfortable). We did it again and as I was falling down again my vision started to fade as if I was waking up(probably why he was having me practice this feeling).
 I found my eyes open in my bed, I want sure if was awake, i didn't remember opening my eyes. I performed a reality check and found I was still dreaming. Almost instantly I was pulled backwards off my lofted bed, I landed softly next to my dresser. There was this same cloaked figure, he propped me up on my feet, and we began this drill again as he shot us up in the air, floated back down, then repeated a couple more times. Again after a couple my vision faded and I found my eyes open in my bed. I hopped out still excited, I asked out loud, am I still dreaming? And then realized I just woke up my roommate. He seemed annoyed and confused. I felt bad, I decided to use the bathroom while I was up then go back to bed, I found out after when i woke up that my roommate wasn't even in the room and I was still indeed asleep. 

So now I'm awake and trying to fall back asleep. A couple quick dreams pass by, nothing that lasts more than 10 minutes or so. But I found myself again in a dream area. Somehow I realized I wasn't in physical reality, so I came out, and said out loud that I wanted to see my guide, and I was pulled backwards out of this dream scene and crashed into this room. There was the cloaked figure again across the room from me, he swooped towards my and stopped right in front of my face. He grabbed me again and we started doing the whole jumping routine for a few jumps, I concentrated hard on maintaining awareness and not allowing my vision to fade. I asked him if I had to do this to get better at not waking up during projections, he said yes. 
After he was satisfied, we stopped the routine and began walking together outside. I asked if we were in the lower astral. The people seemed like slobs, their was this smog in the distance, and it was basically one long party, slightly barbaric. If you've ever seen the movie "Little Nickie" it was kind of like that, just people, mostly ugly, and just a party. He responded to me with, "kind of." I didn't go any further into it. Music was blasting and I really couldn't hear much, I asked him to turn it down, and he did. It got down to a nice background level. I asked him why he always appeared in his black cloak, he said he doesn't really have a form, but just takes one for my sake. I noticed as we walked around he body and face kept on changing with features from all sorts of people who I know. I told him I didn't have much time, because my alarm was going to ring soon, he wasn't too worried about it. But soon enough I heard my alarm playing while in this non physical place, and I said, "that's my alarm, I have to go." I'm not sure if he responded, but I woke up, and started getting ready for my day.

Hello, I'm new to this I suppose but I have been reading peoples experiences. That's awesome what you experienced. I hope to try for AP tonight, since I am able to lucid dream every once in a while and have had some post AP symptoms. After reading this, you gave me an awesome idea. I'm really interested in meeting my guide which I hope is there as soon as I wake in the astral, however if it's not I'm just going to ask. Thanks!

That's quite an experience.

Tonight I'm going to try a 'power focus meditation'.  I figure I can breach the dimensional seals and directly open the higher dimension.  Something that I have done before, but instead of using pure mental force, I was mixing in all kinds of satanic/ digital/ bizarre energies and it made for a challenging experience.

You are excited to try it again?  Can people have sex with their guides?  So many questions.  I've never really believed in this 'guide' stuff, perhaps I will meet one shortly.  Only one that 'guides' me is the Creator working through his creation.  For instance, 'the wind blows and demands my attention to stop what i'm doing and do something else' or 'i stumble because my focus is on something it shouldn't be' or 'the computer shows a host of problems and it would be better if i just sat there and breathed for a while rather than get all worked up into some long winded post about 'crazy ideas'. 

I'm excited.  I hope you are too!

Ohh, I'm jealous of your dimensional travel.

lawl, it didn't work, i lost power and fell asleep, and didn't have any dreams that were remembered.  I did, however, wake up with a fresh perspective, and 'did something worthwhile'. 

So back to meeting guides.  Are our guides some kind of higher sentience, of our own true self, or, are they sentient energy of others devoted to us.  Or are they like "Buddha People" or something?  Evolved entities??
I don't know.

All of the above, Mage.  Just like you are the same as an ant but different- expressions of Source, with different 'capabilities'.
Sure, nobody knows, but in my experience they are sometimes experienced as separate parts of us (like disintegrated selves) but sometimes as 'knowing' deep inside.
All I can tell you is that for years I tried to get contact by more 'direct' means (other than external 'messages') and didn't, until I needed- truly needed help.  And after I experienced a guiding and protecting entity with me I realized they were always there, just not previously experienced, something that is difficult to describe.

I can look back through my life and see where I had an unseen influence, or urge, or intuition, or an event that "guided" me at the time, even though I didn't know it. Just because they don't speak directly to you does not mean a guide isn't always there and helping. Sometimes the effect of it doesn't hit until long afterwards. It's hard to see the whole of things while your in the midst of it.
