Astral Hitchhiker?

[Lauren273]

I have been experiencing astral travel randomly when I sleep.  However, most recently, I believe I came across an astral hitchhiker.

In my "dream" I was thinking about my energy, and was getting frustrated because I couldn't ground.  I was in my apartment and the lights were off, and only ambient light was coming through the windows.  I fell to the floor, and as I was lying there I felt something pulling me across the floor very slowly.

I looked up and saw what looked like my spirit (looked like me), arms out holding onto my body, but my spirit wouldn't look at me; I only saw the profile.  I immediately got excited, because I felt I had successfully projected.

I had this weird mind-split connection where my conscious mind was in my body on the floor (looking up at the spirit), but the physical manifestation of my thoughts came out in my spirit.  For example, I thought to playfully spin my body around on the floor, and the spirit holding on to my body proceeded to skip around playfully dragging or moving my body around in wide circles.  I thought "whoo hoo!" and the spirit audibly said "whoo hoo!" in what sounded exactly like my voice.

Then I got an anxious feeling, like my spirit might actually cause my body/head to bump into something.  As soon as that thought came to my mind, my spirit started to dissipate into a dark cloudy figure.  I was alone again lying on the floor.  I tried to refocus to bring it back, but then the cloudy figure manifested into a demonic looking face that rushed up into my face on the floor.  It had black eyes and its mouth was open and all of its teeth were long and sharp and its hands with long black fingers were reaching out to my neck.

I was paralyzed, and it looked like this entity was trying to "suck" out my energy.  I saw a smoky substance flowing into its mouth.  I yelled out "GET AWAY FROM ME!" but my voice sounded low and demonic, which frightened me.  I shut my eyes hard to try to get out of it, and when I shut my eyes I saw what appeared to be some type of binary code streaming down.  White numbers on a golden background.  Kind of like this picture (except for the colors):



It felt like I was interrupting some kind of "download."  I opened my eyes again, and was still in the situation with the demonic figure trying to suck my energy.  I closed my eyes again and went back to the binary code, same colors – white numbers and gold background.

I opened my eyes again and woke up.  I have vivid nightmares all the time (pretty active imagination), so I'm used to them, but this dream REALLY disturbed me.  I even grounded myself and put up "protection roses" to protect me before I went back to sleep.   I have been doing meditation for a long time and have been working on my clairvoyance (which is experiencing blockages from a past life energy).  I feel like my dreams provide me access to my clairvoyance that I do not have when meditating/in waking life.  This dream disturbed me because I knew was somehow in the astral world, and I felt like I came across some kind of strong negative energy that had the intent to harm.  I have since had my first astral healing, which seems to have helped with my clairvoyance a lot.

After the dream, I came across Robert Bruce's book Astral Dynamics which is where I found the section on OBE hitchhikers.  The description he gave of "it carrying you or you carrying it" made a light bulb go off in my head, and I wonder if what I thought was my spirit for the first portion, was really a hitchhiker.

I felt a weird connect/disconnect with it & I could only see what I thought was my spirit's profile.  From the darkness of the scenery, I believe that I was on a low astral plane, and I believe this encounter was with a lower level energy of some kind.  Reading on, I saw his suggestions for self-protection during frightening astral experiences, and I am looking forward to using more of my tools the next time I find myself on the astral plane.

I am still learning about all of this and about all of my abilities, and I just wanted to share my experience with you in hope that you could provide some more insight as to what I may have encountered.  I would appreciate any information you can share.

Best regards,

Lauren
