Waking up in "otherworld".

[Swan (Demonologist)]

Astral Projection, is NOT my field of expertise, I specialize in Demonology, UFOlogy and research into world leaders. So I know very little about the field of AP. But last night something happened to me that I would like to gain some information about.

During going to sleep, I was disturbed. I felt a feeling that a ghostly presence was around me, and it did NOT feel friendly. I planned to get up and move out the room as quickly as possible, but that's when it occurred to me that I was not in this world, but the otherworld. Movement was strange and I had no ability to call for help. My voice was choked out. That's to say, no sound, no matter how hard I tried. As if my voicebox was being crushed.

I made the choice to move rather than call, and began trying to leave the room. This failed, because when I tried, I was being pulled back by something. The room was pitch black, but my vision was as clear as day. My bed had turned on its side, and a flickering light was occasionally making the room blindingly bright.

Eventually, I did make it out of that room, and went into my sisters room, where she was in bed. (We live together). I asked her if she was okay,  and she told me to turn the light in the hallway out. This is nothing new, she always does. But when I went to do this, the hallway was not there. Instead was a door that lead to a backstreet. I looked around this outside area for a bit when I was certain this was all part of the otherworld design. I went back in and told my sister I'm trapped here. A force, that felt almost angelic, pushed me backwards and I felt as though I slipped back into my own reality. I was was in the same place as in the otherworld, but now instead of being in the backstreet hallway it was my actual hallway.

There was more that happened in between but I just cannot remember properly. It fogged over almost as soon as I returned here, and I was lucky to remember what I did.

Does anyone know what happened?

Hi,
It sound like a spontaneous projection to a low frequency NPR. It would have had a bad feel to it. Lots of things being out of place is typical too.
The fact that you were moved up to a higher frequency level suggests a guide knew where you were was a place you dont want to stay in.
It has all the hallmarks.
The last place would have been similar to being physical. The feelings from it would be neutral too.
Sound familiar?

On top of Ssax's reply I would like to add that you had a classic spontaneous OOBE.

The Sleep Paralysis (SP) you had before you got into 'Otherworld' (lovely terminology) was also a classic example... especially the not being able to speak bit.

In Bangladesh, they call SP 'Boba' which means 'speechless'... and if you like your demonology (but please don't take this as evidence of demonic attack)... In modern Greece the presence you described is a Demon named Mora Vrachnas or Varypnas which because of the paralysis is thought to be trying to steal the victim's speech.

Being unable to speak, shout or scream out is very common during SP... another label for SP is the Vibrational State.

Like I said.. dont worry about the SP... as you now know.. you got past the SP and experienced the non-physical.

Has this tweaked your curiosity?

I really enjoyed your ghostly experience. Thanks for sharing with us.

Well firstly I should probably mention I don't need anymore evidence of proof of demons and/or demonic attack, I already know how real it is. From personal experience, unfortunately. But what I witnessed this particular night was not like what I've been a part of before. I figured this place may know more about it. Which as you have shown, you do.

I do however know of the sleep paralysis demon. But for some reason it didn't occur to me at the time.  As you said, Szaxx, yes, what you describe is very familiar. It felt like a horrible, hideous and harmful force go past me and then lots of unpleasant things happened. Then I was able to make it to where I was going but it was not the same, it was what I called "otherworld". I know it wasn't a dream because I was yet to sleep, but I do know that wherever I went to on that "last" part was better than the first. How exactly did I get there though? What exactly would cause this, and how does one either a; do it again or b; avoid it from happening in the future?

Bedeekin, my curiosity has certainly drifted into this subject... I always knew of AP, OBE, and spiritual journeys that many have taken, but did not take them myself out of avoidance due to my previous experience when I was younger, and prone to possession. But this is something I would like to read into more. Any references?

I appreciate the help you've given.

Yes... I wrote this for the forum recently...

However... this describes the physical side of things.. not the content of what it is that is experienced.

What you need to take heed of is the plethora of 'things' that different cultures believe that attacks them... very interesting.

I can supply hundreds of SP experiences for you if you like. Not from me... but from a list I compiled using online resources and personal descriptions from friends I've collected over the years. I just need to dig them out of my other mac!

Hi,
You could look at it as a kind of proof you have a guide. Unless you are proficient you would find increasing the frequency of your locale totally unknown and how to wouldn't enter your mind.
