I have, started this past year, felt a floating sensation as if someone (invisible) was controlling my body. I would panic and immediately assume it was evil and wake up almost immediately. I was pretty tired last Thursday on the 10th and could not wake myself up ... I was really terrified ... I was floating in my room above my bed... I was commanding what I thought where evil spirits the leave, but nothing happened ... I then started to float around my room, but I can't really give you much detain as I was only focused on wanting it to stop... I finally woke up and my daughter was awake and I told her to bring me her bible... I scared her a bit ... I read for about 10 minutes trying to find something about dreams ...
I finally decided that it was just a dream and that dreams could not hurt me ... so I went back to sleep.
After I laid down, I almost immediately started to experience the same thing. I can't tell you if I had actually fell asleep yet or not, but I started to float again. My first thoughts where I was not going to be afraid ... My floating self then became upright as if I was standing, but still floating. I was being moved toward the window and then my immediate thought was that I had to open the window first, but before I would even finish that though I was moving right through it. I was then traveling very fast and suddenly slowed down... It didn't make scene to me what had happened, but I do know once I started to ask a question, I was suddenly being lowered back into my body very gently... I immediately opened my eyes once I felt no floating ... I knew I was back ... I looked up at the clock and it was 2am exactly. I was confused ... I kept wondering what had happened to me ... it was so real... I then became curious without fear. Then went back to be knowing how difficult it is for me to acknowledge the alarm that would be going off for school the next morning.
I see that you have a very busy schedule, and this may be why it's happening now- sometimes, when you are going to sleep (as in your body is exhausted but your mind is overstimulated) your body is relaxing and behaving as if you're going to sleep, but your mind is not, and then it begins to witness or perceive what happens naturally- your awareness shifting, and this is uncontrollable, because your body is paralyzed and this 'disconnects' the ability to control what your perceptions are doing. I believe this is how it began, and then the continuation has to do with your brainstates that day, and the stress that the expectation of this is putting you in that state again, and provoking it. You could say that it's an 'accident of perception' that is self-perpetuating. Or at least, this is how I would explain it.
I wondered about it from time to time and then on the 17th it happened again. same thing ... I went right through the window and was moving so fast ... almost like light speed it seemed like ... I slowed down enough to see the beautiful stars in the sky which were so many ... and beautiful trees everywhere... As I was being carried I came upon people that I could see very clearly this time ... and all of the sudden I was dropped to the ground... right in the middle of 1 traveler and a horse going one way and 2 others going the other as if they where getting ready to cross each others path. I remember thinking and wondering if I would be able to make myself fly and trying to run and jump. I was able to. A plane had crashed as a group of people where following it from a distance... no fire no screams ... nothing like that ... I didn't actually see it crash actually, but thought it did... I then asked a question again and was back in my body. This time it was 12 something am ... There is more details I remember, but I do not want to bore you.
This is another part of a spontaneous projection. Now I can't tell if you were witnessing something that happened in the physical, something you have seen in the past, or something that someone else is thinking about, (remembering or dreaming). And of course, it could be a symbol of what you perceive is happening to you- the loss of control of your vehicle of consciousness, and the fear associated with this loss of control. Crash.
What I do know is that I could not see myself ... just arms, legs, body, etc.... Everything was in color but both times at night. And, I could actually control myself unlike regular dreams that I don't usually have anymore.
Yes, a classic AP.
I don't understand why this is happening to me ... I didn't even know it was so common until a friend of mine told be to look it up as I do everything else on the internet... and I found this site and of course Wikipedia.
My guess is that previous to the first time you were very busy, and possibly not getting enough sleep. Stressed, etc. Just a guess.
What should I be careful of...
Your fear. This is the only thing you need to be careful with. Your thoughts and emotions will manifest in some areas of the astral, and you will objectify your fears. Luckily (or unluckily, IDK) they more than likely will be manifested in a symbolic way, but sometimes, not so much. So, make sure you are aware of what you fear, and it will go a long way to assure it doesn't take you by surprise.
It is like I am being taken to particular places. The first time I was not lowered to the ground and it was not a beautiful ... a little scary actually .... this second time it was different ... I am worried about the next time, but at the same time I want to know more...
This is a good observation. As you grow and evolve, your vehicle of consciousness does too, and what you see and what you 'are shown' does too. So it's not a bad thing.
This might not even happen again, but for some reason I don't think that is the case.
I don't want to say "surely", but I have a hunch that it will.
Thank you all for listening and I will be watching this topic everyday or every other day as I have to study.

Good deal.
