I'm sure all of you experienced AP'ers out there have encountered the "force" that can determine where you end up in AP. It's the force that gently pulls you along to a new or old environment, and the same force that can whip you in or out of an experience in a heartbeat. Especially during wrongdoing on the part of our own self.
My question is, what is this force? Is this God or something other?. Maybe a higher power (guides or other) gently persuading us into and out of learning experiences? Anyone with more experience that can provide a solid answer?
Thanks

I am having some strange dream or astral experiences and wondering if anyone else has encountered similar? In one dream (?) experience I was visited early in the morning (very dark out) by a ball of white light with little "sparkly" things within it. It hovered just outside of my bedroom window, half in view and half out of view; partially covered by the overhanging roof. Suddenly a beam of electricity shot from it and it attempted to penetrate or "burn" a hole into or through my bedroom window, like it was coming after me. In this dream, my husband and I sprung from the bed and saw that these streams of electricity were burrowing through all the windows in our house. My husband opened our back yard slider door and I told him to shut it quickly because I thought we would be electrocuted. Then I got a glimpse from the back yard looking toward the house (although I was still inside to). The entire frame of the house was illuminated in pale blue-ish purple lights. Like pale neon lights glowing in the darkness. Then I shifted back inside the house and my husband and I were putting small rubber round patches on the windows where the electric streams were attempting to enter. Upon waking I analyzed the situation a little bit. I guessed the rubber patches were supposed to act as grounds and I happened to think about folks who thought they were part of alien abductions. Maybe they had similar encounters in dream states?

The second experience I was with other familiar people but I cannot place faces or names. We saw a pink illumination on a white wall and went in closer to inspect it. It had the outline of a human so I thought it might be an aura or other similar energy. It came off of the wall and approached me. I had no fear of it at all, and actually felt a spiritual or maybe even sexual connection to it. As it came toward me, a large phallic energy came from it and it entered my body. When this happened I could clearly see into its eyes through the pink light. They were the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen. As I looked into the eyes I felt intense love and fascination.
As if looking through a spyglass into the eyes, I could see a magnified flower with Monarch butterflies on it. The beings pupil was transformed into the black body of a Monarch. It was beautiful and amazing beyond words. Like experiencing one thing and then being sucked into an entirely new and different experience at the exact same time. Awesome!
Anyone have a take on what this may all be about (besides insanity - LOL)? Please feel free to post.

I had a very strange AP/dream last night and am hoping somebody here on the forum has had a similar experience and can explain to me what exactly this was all about. Last night I projected to a place with someone (I do not recall who this entity was, just that I felt very comfortable with "him"?). Anyway, out of the dark backdrop, I saw what looked like a king sized bed with a white light coming from the back of it. The top was covered in plate glass. The closer I got to this bed, the brighter the light got. I figured it was because the light was reflecting off of the glass. There was a sleeping person (or possibly dead) lying inside of it, with blonde hair, which made the light even brighter. When we were about 10 feet away from this "bed", I realized the person inside was my brother who had committed suicide 15 years ago. Oh, I was so excited and wanted him to wake up. I started yelling out his name louder and louder. I started to panic when he made no response. As soon as I started to panic, a force came up from behind me and pulled me back into my body. This force literally picked me up and sucked me away. The entity that was with me didn't seem to be phased by the force and remained there (I think).
I woke up right after this happened and went to get a drink of water. I immediately started analyzing the whole ordeal.
Was the entity taking me to see my brother? Was my brother dead in the astral or just resting? Was I sucked away because I was calling out for him or because I panicked? And where was I, in astral or somewhere different? The reason I ask this last question is because the setting seemed to be in the middle of nowhere. Like the bed was floating in deep, dark outer space, with a light brighter than the sun (a consuming white light) directly behind it. I feel like I stumbled too close to heaven or something??
I want to say "Please help" but I guess I would just like feedback.
Thanks

OK, here is something I am wondering if anyone else has experienced. Prior to or maybe even during the mind split, has anyone caught glimpses of people's faces that they have never seen before? I am seeing split second images of faces, and there is seemingly only enough time to catch one or two different expression on these faces before they completely disappear. Then a few moments later, a different face with different expression will appear. Like someone turning toward me and smiling, etc.
Do I know these people or am I suffering from dementia? LOL
This seems to happen at about the same time as the "goofy astral noises" that I described in a response to "I heard a weird noise - please help".
Any thoughts?
Thanks!!

I have been having some strange vision experiences while preparing for OBE. I believe this happens after possible failed OBE's and I am drifting off to sleep. I see a large entrance to a tube or tunnel. The tube seems to emit a swirling misty steam coming off of it into the darkness (black background, grayish white tube) and I have noticed it rotates clockwise. I have no recollection of entering into this tube. Then the scene changes to where I am seeing any images through tunnel vision, almost like looking through binoculars. Everything is fuzzy around the edges and gets more clear toward the center. I try to expand my area of vision and cannot. In fact, when I do try to expand my vision, the fuzzy edges of the image consume the entire image with a kaleidoscope effect (if this makes any sense). This is a recent development and it is driving me absolutely crazy. I want to see things in large like I used to. Any tips or tricks as to what is happening and how I can overcome this? Is this an OBE or dream?
Thanks

What does "focus omega" mean?
Anyway, I had another experience with this pink entity.
In this experience, she was a female.
I asked her for her name and she did tell me. I am keeping this to myself as I am trying to figure out who she is and what exactly she is trying to show or teach me. In this dream, there were two small children I had been watching and playing with, whom I reunited with their parents in a long hallway. After finding the children's parents, a pretty dark haired woman came toward me. I was at the end of the hallway up in a dark corner. As she approached, she turned into the pink misty entity. I asked her name and she told me. We looked at each other and although I was a little frightened of her, I told her I was not afraid. She came closer and entered my body once again and that is when I fully awoke. Her eyes were vacant this time. Almost like she was hollow. Somehow she is a part of me and may be some kind of teacher or guide, but I am still not getting the message.

I am relieved that someone else is having the same experience. Do you think it may be a guide? It seemed to me to be a bit more intense than that.

I went searching on the internet about some of the symbols. I found that butterflies have several meanings but the ones that seem to fit for me on a deep level are "transformation and new life".
I found the meaning for pink aura on an Australian site but since this entity didn't have a physical body, is it still considered an aura??

Pink (=purple+red): love (in a spiritual sense). To obtain a clean pink, you need to mix the purple (the highest frequency we perceive) with red (the lowest frequency). Pink Aura indicates that the person achieved a perfect balance between spiritual awareness and the material existence. The most advanced people have not only a yellow halo around the head (a permanent strong point in the Aura) but also a large pink Aura extending further away. The pink color in the Aura is quite rare on Earth and appears only as a temporary thought, never as a strong point in the Aura.

Thanks for sharing with me. Pretty amazing isn't it? I sure hope it happens again. Maybe I will have some answers if it returns.

Where did you learn about what the colors mean and who determines the meaning behind them? Is this common knowledge? Do you have any internet links to more information about it?
I believe I am spiritually connected to a lot of different people so picking out one person is rather difficult for me to do. These have been such extraordinary experiences and I'm trying to break the barriers and learn from them. I am keeping a dream journal to recognize my personal symbols, but these two are foreign to me. The raw energy is a bit unsettling, especially the electricity streaming to my windows. There is something out there that is trying to tell me something, but I think my own fear is getting in the way.
The pink "entity" on the other hand showed me such beauty and the clarity of what I saw in (his?) eyes was truly amazing. It's like all the answers to everything were contained in those eyes. This will be a welcomed visitor any night of the week. I'll let you know if I can pinpoint who it is. LOL
Thanks for the input.

Awesome! I had a calico "Kelly" cat for 13 years and we had to put her down a few years ago. She was an old soul and I loved her very much. She was always tiny, but she also had leukemia so throughout her latter years she was scraggly looking and sickly.
She recently visited me in the astral planes to. Or rather, I visited her. It was a completely spontaneous projection. I was in a dark hallway full of doors.
I opened a door and inside was a brightly lit white room full of cats. All of them were beautiful and pale in color (cream or white) and most were longhaired. Suddenly I noticed a very colorful tiny shorthaired kitty coming to me from a distance. This cat was literally strutting past the other cats, almost like she was bragging to the others about my being there. Amongst all those beauties, she knew she was the "top kitty" in my eyes.
I recognized her immediately and called out her name. It was amazing to see her again. I felt nothing but love radiating from her. She always had such a pure and wonderful heart in the physical and was no different in spirit. It was a great visit and I hope to see her again soon.

I never noticed a wind during OBE until recently. I had an emotional reaction in astral, and this wind (or force) literally pulled me backwards and sucked me back into my body.

Thanks once again. I think I'm getting the drift now. Hopefully I will contain myself a little better if I get another opportunity. I liked the son breaking the leg example. Nice!

Thank you for posting.  
What I meant by dead in astral is like a lost soul who cannot be reached. When my brother didn't respond to me, of course I was getting anxious. I find it hard to believe I would have to be emotionally numb and detached to his presence in astral or journeying, in order to advance and grow. I think that anybody would fail a test like this (if that is what it was). Especially under such extreme and traumatic circumstances as suicide. If this was a test that I failed due to the strong emotional bond that I had with my brother in life, I would have plenty of questions about the cruelty of universal law in regard to learning from human relationships. Please don't get me wrong, I believe I have plenty of issues to deal with in regard to his passing. But deep inside my essence, I personally believe this entire "journey" is about hope, unconditional love, helping our fellow man, and understanding. The guide or whoever it was seemed to get nervous(?) when I started to call out to my brother during this experience. Maybe because I was going to disturb my brother? That is when the force picked me up and sucked me back. I don't recall the "guide" being with me for the suction trip.

I did fail to mention that I had a lucid dream about my brother about 4 months ago (I write them all down). We were in a field together and he was crouched down on his knees in the grass, bleeding from the head. He looked at me with confusion in his eyes and tried to tell me that someone had shot him. I even saw the perpetrator running away from the scene, which is something I think my brother had manifested in his own mind, and for some reason I was able to see the story he had "made up", if that makes any sense. I knelt beside him and had to tell him repeatedly that he had done this to himself. I realized I was getting nowhere with him, started crying, turned and walked away from him. I left the scene in a car I had parked nearby. As I drove away, I knew I couldn't just leave him there in such a confused state, and also because I love him too much to just desert him like that. I went back and helped him into the passenger seat of the car. We drove away together and that is when I woke up. The last thing I remember doing was just looking over at him, filled with sadness.
Thanks for your input.

I have heard all kinds of goofy sounds just prior to AP. Gunshots in the distance, wind chimes, cans dragging, velcro ripping apart, someone pounding metal with a hammer(?), paper rustling (like someone opening a newspaper to read), and people talking off in the distance. I can never make out anything they say. I'm not fearful in any way of these goofy noises, but rather enjoy them. I guess I am more amused by them than anything else.
There are however, noises and experiences that I could do without and fear. I have awakened apparently out of an unconscious AP, with total sleep paralysis and a very lound "whooosh" sound between my ears. This sound is so loud that I worry about my eardrums rupturing.
Just letting you know you are not alone..

Hmm, well thanks for the input and the compliment on my nickname.
I am going to really concentrate on this and try to figure out where I am, and how I can get further with my sight.
Thanks
