About 15 minutes ago, I woke up in sleep paralysis; however, I did not realize that i was in sleep paralysis. I thought I had just woken up. It's daytime and my room is lit somewhat with daylight, but when i woke up my room was dark and everything around me was flowing with bright neon blue energy. It was quite a sight

This isn't relevent to the question, but it has to do with animals! Over the past few nights, I come home at around 2:00am in the morning. After I get ready for bed, I'll get in bed and listen to a binaural beat track, and whenever I do this, my dog leaves my parents room and stands next to my door. My parent's room and my room are very close so he'll sit next to my door and stare into my parent's room. The first time this happened, whenever I would have the track playing I'd get interrupted because he would start scratching himself with his foot which I can hear because it jingles his dog tags. I would turn it off because I would hear it, and he would stop. Then I'd turn it back on to continue, and then he would start scratching himself again. This went on for about a minute or so until I decided to give up and just sleep lol. The second time it happened, I turned it on and again he came from outside my parent's room and sat next to my door. This time I decided to go check to see WHY. I opened my door and there he was sitting staring into my parent's room for no apparent reason. I tried to see if he wanted to go downstairs or go into my room, but he wouldn't budge. Then after like 2 - 3 minutes, he just walked back into my parent's room -___-

Summerlander, it's cool that you listed the hooded figure. I saw one in my most recent lucid dream. I believe it communicated with me, but I'm unable to recall what it said from conscious memory. What exactly do you mean by "the product of a collective unconscious mind that we all share"?

not sure if you care, but when you wake up with sleep paralysis after becoming lucid in a dream, you should keep your eyes closed and you might be able to project. all my OOBE's have been from doing this

were you aware that you were dreaming?

Congrats on the experience. OOBEs can turn into dreams and vice versa. Our consciousness has a tendency to focus on the metaphysical realm when we project. Here-now physical reality projections are often induced from deep state sleep paralysis.

On this note, lucid dreams can lead to astral projection as well as physical realm projections. A Focus 1 OOBE is very different from the astral scenario. What seems to be the physical reality (no anomalies spotted) is not as colourful as the metaphysical. Movement there is also very different, harder to control and gradual until it eventually becomes more fluid. Teleport is possible. Also, you perceive the world as a floating point of consciousness and sometimes you manifest a shadowy body as opposed to Focus 2 where you ride a dream body that resembles the physical.

Focus 1s can turn into Focus 2s or they can overlap. This is one view from my own experiences anyway...

Do you know why it's harder to control when you project into the physical?

What about the possibliity that the christian god is simply a higher being that communicated to certain people, and that those people assumed that it was the one and ONLY god.

lol you seriously see what religion people are? amazing, guess which i am...

I'd like to know as well, because I'M not even sure exactly what religion I'm apart of

I'm confused because you were already out of your body once you realized you were lucid dreaming.

Cool experience overall though, and with that clown face thing that's pretty odd because I have stars also on my ceiling  and can recall waking up with vibrations before in the past and looking at my ceiling thinking "hmm isn't this off color kinda?"  and noticed a clownish figure being made before my eyes, ignored it and went back to sleep lol

Well that's why I'm sort of confused too. I'm not sure if i was actually out of body already or if i was dreaming when i found myself staring up at my ceiling. But, the fact that you've also seen a clownish figure up on your ceiling is pretty interesting haha.

My experiences are similar. I see the bright white light as well. But, the first time i successfully exited, i saw a woman's face singing to me IN the bright white light. It was pretty crazy, but i don't remember what she was saying. When i exited, i floated into a wall thinking i could go through it, but i just ran into it. Once that happened, I got confused and got sucked back into my physical body. Congrats though!

So, last night i believe i had an OBE, but due to the fact that i was tired from drinking before, it shifted from an OBE into a dream or vice versa. I've separated my dream into two parts because I'm not completely sure of the order in which they happened; however, I'm pretty sure that they are in the correct order.

Part 1.
A few days ago, i read a post pertaining to contacting spirit guides where the person had attempted to contact his spirit guide, and it appeared to him in a dream. In mine, I couldn't recall where i was and i can't quite remember what it my surroundings looked like, but for some reason this was the most lucid I have ever been and i was able to maintain my lucidity without waking up. So, i was walking down an empty street and i think it's safe to say that there were old structures around me. It was nighttime, and as i walked, i attempted to contact my spirit guide by trying to communicate with it through my mind. The next thing i knew, there was some being up ahead in a small courtyard (I'm starting to remember it more vividly as i type this). I walked up to it and it was talking to me, but i can't remember what it said. I'm not even sure if it was communicating to me in English. Also, it didn't appear to be human. I can just recall that it was a dark figure wearing some sort of cloak I'm guessing? It could have been standing or it could have been floating. It looked like it was wearing a mask, but maybe that was actually it's face, i'm not sure. Anyways, after it had finished talking to me, I realized that because i was lucid, i could possibly induce an OBE. All my out of body experiences have been done so by becoming lucid. So, i exited my dream and woke up with the usual vibrational sensations and i started to roll out of my body. Usually, it's hard for me to roll out, but this time i could feel myself separating from my physical body. I believe i exited successfully but i projected into blackness. Then, I said something such as clarity now or vision now without thinking. I believe my subconscious was helping me, because I've only read about yelling such terms, i never intended to use them. Once i said whatever i had said, I was given vision and i can just recall being confused because my room was very dark. It was actually a false awakening because i thought that i had woken up physically.

Part 2.
I ended up in my bed. It was dark,  and on my ceiling i could see lights that created a clownish figure. In reality, I have a few glow in the dark stars, planets, and things like that. When i first moved here, i had a lot up on the ceiling but over the years, many have fallen. Anyways, in my dream, the things on my ceiling shined bright and colorful like christmas lights. The clown, however, was somewhat odd and out of place and almost a bit frightful. As i focused on it's figure, my body began floating up towards the ceiling and I found myself face to face with this clown.

If these are in the correct order, I think i was so confused and a bit frightened as to why my body would automatically float up to such an odd figure that made me feel somewhat uneasy, and that caused me to wake up.

IMO Attachment is a form of possession, which is why i said 'semi-possession' because it all depends on the amount of control you have over your mind, balancing your thoughts & senses from the intruding mind. Which At times she did actually have more control then I had.

So It was attachment(Semi-Possession) at first, and heavy possession later on because she really started to get nasty, especially towards my girlfriend. Then As she was getting removed from me, I lost Consciousness but People Said  All I was doing Was Cursing And Getting Violent. I know i would never say those horrible things to the people close to me. But I know SHE did, and I had no choice in the matter..

A Practitioner did an unbinding ritual, and after she was gone i got Really emotional, because i couldn't feel her any longer. And yes She comes back to visit me once in a while but due to the magick involved it isn't as powerful or intense as it used to be in the past.
But to me she was a wonderful companion and guide without all the nastiness and disrespect involved treating others. lol

super interesting story haha! do you know why she attached herself to you in the first place?

Could be... but then that's really up to you to figure out. 
Nobody can really give you a definitive answer.

Also forgot to mention that she was singing but i wasn't sure what she was saying, but it gave me this strong sense of peace. It was quite the experience actually, especially since it was my first OBE experience. Anywho, thanks Xanth mah dude.

Btw, i'm not sure if this is relevent, but if you remember reading about my first OBE experience, when my vision started to become bright white light, i saw a girls face in the middle, kind of like i was watching a movie. The voice that i heard call my name was female in particular, so i was curious as to the possibility that the two may or may not be connected?

Generally, It's too much to cover. Dont wanna hijack the thread, I can write a whole book on it really. LOL

But as a result of it my life is forever changed for better and worse. 

i'm so curious. Perhaps, you should write a book on it.. 

This wasn't low on the sky.  It was around 70 degrees due southeast.  Higher than the highest trees.  I still think it was a satellite.

i wouldn't think so if you mean that it was in one place. i've done my share of stargazing as well and i've seen a number satellites. satellites look like stars and they don't twinkle as well. However, they move across the sky at a steady speed. they actually aren't that hard to spot.

When we're reading, especially a good book that we REALLY get into... we can drop into an alpha state very easily.
In this state, it's very normal to pickup on stuff like that.

It's probably akin to a light Focus 10 state.

ahh okay i see. usually i can tell what it is when i hear things like this when i'm about to sleep. this probably seemed so different because i felt so awake. thank you!

It may mean that it is active, overactive, or blockages.  But if it's not uncomfortable, chances are it's just active.

mmm i don't believe it's overactive, because i've only recently been exposed to all of this. i wouldn't call it uncomfortable, but that may just be because i am laying down and relaxed. it's just a weird feeling. what can cause blockages of the brow chakra?

So a couple weeks ago, i was reading a book for my English class when i heard someone call my name. It almost came from within my head or very close to my head for that matter, but it was quite clear. So clear that it startled me and i put my book down to check each area of my room. I felt like something was trying to contact me, but i didn't quite know what to do, so i tried communicating through thought in my head. I know that sometimes when you're sleepy your mind starts to wander and you'll hear things that you're thinking about, but this was different because i was 100% awake and focused on my book. Sometime this week, i got into bed ready to sleep and after a few minutes i heard like an abrupt creaking sound. I have read other posts on experiences similar to this, so I'm thinking it may be my spirit guide. Any ideas?

I'm not religious by any means, but i was practically possessed for a few months <_<. Not by a "Demon" though.

what exactly do you mean? what were you possessed by?

Some people would say that your brow chakra was active at that time, for whatever reason.

i've also been feeling "pressure" between my eyes and around my forehead when i meditate also. does it indicate that my brow chakra is becoming active?

having visited an optometrist recently because of things i began seeing, i've noticed that color schemes of things seem to be much more "full" i guess you could put it. this was a short time after seeing an optometrist. for example, once i began meditating and attempted practicing AP, i've noticed that the colors of a sunset seem much more vivid than they did before.

with my first attempt using this file, i was able to finally achieve strong vibrations and many hypnagogics consciously; however, i wasn't able to leave my body. although, i did experienced a feeling of "flow" throughout my body at one point and by visualizing energy running through my body with each breathe, i was able to bring about stronger and stronger energetic and vibrational feelings.

question:
-are hypnagogic imagery related to those you're supposed to notice with phasing?
-also, does the energy feelings have to do with the flow of energy in chakras? i specifically remember feeling most of the energy in my stomach. in the early moments of bringing about those feelings, my stomach even made weird noises.

do you have examples of actually predicting things that came true when you were sleep deprived? having experienced hallucinations when sleep deprived, i know its true but it takes quite a lot of lacking in sleep to actually hallucinate. how many hours of sleep do you go without when your "6th sense" heighten? if you can truly make accurate predictions when sleep deprived, i believe there may be some truth in your theory.

does this only go for people who can consciously project? or is possible for members to pull out anyone?
