What......The -HECK- Was this all about!??

[BlueTone]

         Okay, I'm going to describe in as much detail as i possibly can. First off, This was without a doubt the most profound whilst simultaneously the most frightening experience i have ever encountered. 

         I lied down to do another Meditational/OBE Attempt. I remember slipping in and out of sleep states when suddenly i slammed into full awareness. I felt my entire body in a very deep trance, and decided to will it into a deeper level. Sure enough, It quickly sank into a deeper level of trance. I would feel this very profound knocking/tapping almost painful vibration on the very back of my head. I was laying at an angel ( Like  " \_ " ....Like a reclined chair ) and i could feel my upper body drop through the pillows to level out flat. I knew i wasn't physically doing this obviously. Well, This happened about twice, and then I'd snap back awake, then do it again.

         Well i remember the knocking becoming seriously annoying and just about painful, So i went to jump up off my bed. When i noticed i couldn't see, and i felt as if i was choking. Couldn't breath right. I looked around and just felt ridiculously confused. I then felt as if the brain in my skull started to bleed, I honestly FELT liquid pooring from the top of my head, down my face, with that knocking still tapping at the back of my head. I then completely lost it ( I know...Where i messed up )....And screamed for help. This happened after about the 2nd or 3rd false awakening.

         Then, something strange happened. a very transparent figure appeared just between my feet. I could barely make out a face, Of a younger male, with a large smile. He reached towards me with both hands and said, " Here.....Just try to relax..... " I felt at complete ease, But still asked, " Wait........You are a good guy?....Right? " , He kinda chuckled, and replied, " Of course, Just relax now. "

         He grabbed both my hands, and we both just slowly raised up off the bed. Not knowing exactly how or when, all of a sudden, By his lead, we were quickly jolting and flying through a dark tunnel like area. He looked at me and said " This is one of the view bad parts about it.....Its kinda like Tripping.......But its okay, Its just an accident. " ..I asked, " Accident?....What do you mean?....I was just laying down?... " He chuckled once again and replied " I know i know, Its okay.......Its kinda the same reason people tell ya not to do drugs!.. "..

         The tunnel grew dark, Until i couldn't see anymore, And then i -ACTUALLY- awoke in my bed, My eyes jolted open in relief, and i just out of my bed to write it all down.

         I had never experienced such discomfort in my life. I remember trying SO hard to speak to him, Ask questions, I just couldn't breath enough to get any words out. I was aware the whole time. I absolute KNEW i was just laying down in bed......What the hell kinda episode was this!?.....I can't make sense out of any of it except, Whoever/Whatever helped me.....Was 110% Genuinely Positive. I was VERY thankful at that time.

Any opinions!?

It sounds to me like you had an astral projection, or the start of one at least.  I think the problem you had was you let fear take over.  Next time you feel the tapping at the back of your head just relax, understand that you will be ok, and just imagine yourself popping out of your body calmly.  if you do this without fear i think you will have a very positive experience.

Not sure, but it reminds me of a similar thing that happened to me.

I was in a strange place when all of a sudden something 'locked' into the back of my head. It was kinda like if you had a cube/block in the palm of your hand and there was a hole in my head the same size where it locked into place. I put my hands up to try get it off and started to worry but I was whisked away by someone through some tunnel thing and was told not to look back.

I agree with astralp, sounds like you were having a conscience separation.  It's that first level, realm, layer..etc.. whatever you want to call it, that is closest to this physical, that happens to be where you will find deceased pets and people.  It can be quite scary if someone you don't know happens to be standing there, watching you.  But after years of experience, I figured out they are just as shocked to see you as you are them.  

I had one woman come at me, and it scared me to the point I didn't try to even meditate for a couple months. BUT, I've also seen almost all my pets that have died and that is a wonderful feeling being able to hug them again.  But be warned, THAT can be a distraction, keeping you from moving past that first layer.

Anyways, congrats, I believe you are on your way!

Hi Blue...
I see what you experience as a mixture of what astralp and Nay are telling you. 

It was DEFINITELY a projection, but definitely a fear-driven experience.
Keep a bit more control over your thoughts and, in this particular case, don't make judgment calls on anything you "feel", such as a liquid running down your head.  That'll just feed into whatever you experience next, which will be related and worse from the initial experience.

          Thanks everyone, For sharing their insights with me. Its sad that even something as frightening as it was, I came out with the largest smile. I can go to hell and back, and i find it more fascinating than anything. And whatever/whoever it was that helped me, expressed a sense of love and care that i can honestly say is something that cannot be physically experienced.

          I am very excited. I do believe it was a projection, by the fact that i knew nothing happened, and was in waking control. I couldn't move to save my life, and my vision was very shaky. BUT, bad, scary, or whatever, the fact remains.....I spent some time on the other side.....Which is a little experience all the same.

          I will say that the tapping/knocking in the back of my head has been experienced before. During the time its happening i always respond like its painful, but than afterwords when i reflect on it, its clear that it wasn't actual " Pain " it was just unusual. I'll try to just keep clear next time.

Thanks so much guys. What would be your opinion(s) on whatever it was that helped me? Real?....Guide?....Me?....
