astral or just a dream?

[Tisha]

wow, I don't know!  certainly an interesting experience.  are you keeping a dream journal?

In my life I've had many "otherworldly" experiences that are difficult to categorize.  Sometimes, the world of dreams/astral and the world of the ordinary just overlap!

enjoy it!

In a way yes, I type them in this dream message board.

Eyes of Vengeance...

(I do hope you do not have to think about vengeance, really, that would mean that someone has hurt you so badly..., anyhow, here is my reply..).

The vibrations and the floating sensation are surely an OBE. The thing is that once you get there it can all turn into a dream. You can even astral project/OBE and have completely control of everything and go where you wish, etc.. but then it can turn into a dream. Or suddently the world becomes changing around you like in Alice in Wonder land, it just means that the other world (the astral one) is not fixed and can be changed by your thoughts, even without you willing it. So I would say YES, the beginning is an Out Of Body experience, in that sens that you really came out of your body, but what happened after that is less clear and it does not matter anyhow, since any OBE is like that....

What happened while your were awake is another story in itself. You should not fear anything or anyone, go back to your dream world in peace, nothing can hurt you if you believe so. The fear might let you feel you room is different, etc... but it is really not in your room.

thanks for everyone's replies

I had this dream again except that I was paralized. It happened 3 times.
The first one happened in the morning, I was sleeping on my back

(Iam a still sleeper and last night I was so tired that I fell asleep on my back, I usually start on my back to say my prayers then on my right side)

heh yeah like you want to know that but I'm just being specific.

I knew I was dreaming at the time. In the dream I posted before I felt my WHOLE body vibrating, this was to a lesser degree.

This tickle was more easier to go through.

I just let go and let the vibrations take over.

The energies that I felt the most was my shoulders (either my shoulders or my chest I don't remember) and my hips.

I mostly remember the sensations on my hips, it was unpleasent but my shoulder/chest felt good.

It kinda came like waves, or patterns. I'm guessing this is an electrical current, nervous system I'm guessing?

It would come in patterns: light (which was pleasent), then heavy (which was not), then it would go to back to my shoulders. Or I felt everything at the same time.

I woke up in the morning and then went to my parents bedroom to sleep there because I had to was my bedsheet which was stained with blood. I did not want to stain my matress. Just in case if you DON'T understand what I'm saying, I'm talking about menstruation.

(I don't want to seem harsh but I feel that if I give specific details it might help you understand what is happening)

(My parents weren't home)

So I fell asleep in my parents room. I could feel the vibrations when I was half awake and asleep. It wasn't really that strong like in my two other dreams because this time I was half concious.

The third time I went back asleep to my room again and bascially the same thing happened as the morning sensation except that I was laying on my stomach.

(Which was the usual position I sleep in)

What is happening to me?

[EyesOfVengeance]

Iam lying on my bed when I felt a weird sensation on my body, my soul was vibrating rapidly. My soul was going up little by little. My head was in a swirl of thoughts. The vibration was even more faster, and it was painful but then it wasn't really pain. Something I cannot explain. Like a tickle that you want to stop. I was stuck, nothing was happening except that I was vibrating and I just was scared to death. I thought to myself that the next step was that the soul leaves the "gross" body. I was not ready for such a thing. I wanted to learn meditation, study more of my spiritual studies, learn what I'm getting into before I step both feet in. I tried to stop but then I just became paralyzed. I probably was already but I was too scared stiff to move before. I saw a feriae, she was small and golden. Gold light luminated her whole body. She was across my bed and kinda shy. I was surprised that she did not flee. I tried talking to her but my words came out as gibberish. My physical body then was moving (without my consent toward the feriae). Well I was trying to walk to the fearie but not in such a way in my dream. I was floating but I wasn't the one who was making myself float. Still in my physical body though. I was powerless to move. I tried talking to her but I looked mentally retarded.

(The words and mouth was not doing what I directed it to do.)

Then it lost it's grip. (If their was an "it")

I was able to move again as I wish. The feriae was shy and backed off a little. Their was also a cat, dog, and two cat lovers. They were astral entities.

The cat lovers were stuck together looking in each other eyes and licking each other. They were only in my dream for a minute.

The characters in my dream was friendly. I guess.

It's not necessarily to mention the rest of the dream, for I do not want a dream interpretation, I just want to know if I could be possibly doing astral.

Perhaps at first I was awake and slowly drifted off to sleep as it was happening.

I was having a hard time falling asleep even though I was tired, perfect state for going astral, exhaustion.

When I woke up I can see the energy in my room. I knew that I was not alone. I usually encounter energy all the time but this was something I never encountered before. Sure I had times where I felt evil but that was a long time ago, I hardly feel much now. A bunch of hoppers, or "dragonflies", chi, and sometimes something else that I cannot explain.
How this energy was reacting to me was frightening. I'm not use to have the energy respond to me when I put my hand out to feel it's energy. I saw a thin band of energy reaching for me, imitating what I was doing before. I think it was reaching it's hand to me! Their was energy on the floor too but it was different from the greeting entity. This energy that was on the floor was smaller. Longer in width then height. I guess you can say like a dog type of creature. At least that was what I thought it remsemble at the time. It was moving on the floor back and forth. More energy was in my room but no way to describe it really. It was just "there".

Now the greeting energy I'm guessing is huge. The energy is very visible. I can see black particles moving back and forth. It's strange how it's energy is the same as others in the room. Like it was made out of the same substance but different entities.

Other times I can sense energy, feel energy, but this time I can "see" the energy. This sense reacted more strongly then the other senses.

This greeting entity seem to be very interested in me. The energy I usually encounter hardly paid any notice, it might just stand there emotionless but hardly reacted to me in any "big way". The energy I'm use to is sometimes just a blob, mostly small. More invisible. I can feel tingling in my tip of my thumb. I don't think from touching it but it was touching me. My hairs on my legs was up and everything.


(Heh heh that's right I DO NOT SHAVE MY LEGS, surprised?)

This thing was on my bed with me. It would go directly near my face, I guess because it wanted attention? Maybe just wanted me to know it's there and "real".

I could not make out if it was evil or not so that was what frightens me. Not knowing what was there. Sometimes I can figure out if this energy was evil or not other times I just don't know. In this case I just didn't know. I hear of evil things all the time and I wish to advoid them as much as possiable. Yet Iam vain, what if this is a being of light? What if it needed help, or have a grand purpose? This thought always makes me try to interact with the energy in my room. This energy was so different, it was reacting to me! I guess that was why I was so scared, this behavior I never encounter before, RARELY. I had times that they did react to me but only in little ways.

So I just went back to sleep that night.

Next night. Just as I thought the energy entities was back. When I went back to my room to go to sleep I can see this energy again. It was on my bed. Near my pillow. (The greeting one) I can see another energy on the floor again but it wasn't really the shape of the dog like creature like before. It was just like a stream of water. Moving, flowing in the air. I turn on my light and guess what I saw? The energy was playing with my bra! I forgot to pick it up this in the morning. The nerve!

Funny how I say it it sounds funny, trust me it's not.

There was a full moon outside and I did not want to sleep in my room. I did not want to go back to astral. I'm guessing this entity is the reason I had such a dream or at least this is what I believe. I know that doing astral while asleep is dangerous, I wouldn't have mind so much if I was awake but I want to be in CONTROL, not it. I stayed awake most of the night, the energy was still there. I turn on the lights so I can barely see it. I can see energy better with no lights, only the dim lights coming from my window.

Then I remember something! This energy, it looked fimilar. Something I encountered before? I think so! I remember one night I saw and felt restlessness from a entity. It looked like it in a way. Black particles moving rapidly. But at that time it acted different. It was moving back and forth in the air, high up my cieling. It was fast but it didn't notice me. It had no interest in my whats so ever at the time. This restlessness was making me feel uneasy. I just didn't wanted to encounter another spirit that gives me nightmares so I went to my parents room to sleep. I slept on the floor, they didn't know that I was there since they was already fast asleep. That night I had the most inspiring of dreams, I met a fearie gueen, dressed in purple. She was the spirit of this grape vine. These fearies greeted me and it was just pure inspiring.

Does this sound fimilar?
