Meaning of strange projection?

[Drakoreo]

I was enjoying a fabulous dream, totally unaware I was dreaming, in a dream car with dream friends looking out a dream window... Bam! I saw a flower-like space craft opening and closing similar to a jelly fishes movement. "What the...!?" I felt myself being 'zapped' to the ship. suddenly, I knew I was dreaming, and since my dream was getting kinda creepy I decided to wake up. Getting out of bed, I did a quick body test, "Ok. Am I reaaallly awake right now?" I quickly pat down my arms to check. "Yes, I feel completely awake!" half-dazed I drag myself downstairs, and... What the.. I'm in a basement? No. This doesn't even look like my basement... Shiiz... Great. i'm bloody projecting. So much for waking up... I noticed my brother and mother, but I knew they weren't them. Still... I tried to catch their attention. "Hooo haaa! Can you hear me?!" They seemed busy talking to eachother. Until... Finally! They noticed me. This is when stuff got really scary, (if you fear easy stop reading here) I asked them what the were doing here, and starting talking about being made of love energy, their shocking response, "We consume souls while humans sleep." ...... Whaaaaat?!?! wait.. I'm asleep.. These guys legit?! I was consumed by fear, briefly... I responded, "Then, I use my love-energy to protect myself and everyone else sleeping." I instantly woke up. what the flark was that all about? anyone have a similar experience?

This is an interesting experience given that you have earlier described a certain facility for coming aware and lucid within a dream. You did this well when the space craft appeared, but then became somewhat fearful and chose to exit the experience. Good control despite being distracted by fear.

Any ideas why you didn't awake but rather entered a False Awakening?

Also in earlier posts, you have described some other related theories; how does that relate to what happened next? You saw your mother and brother but quickly realized it was not them (another good perception)...

There's more in this that you need to discover. Enjoy!

Thanks for the reply :3

Hmm... When it comes to "false awakenings" I only have them with "alien" entities, If that makes sense? If I dream about them it happens. Also, I started having out of body experiences because I would wake up in sleep paralysis seeing "shadow men," (also known as hat men) around my bed. I would try to leave my bed because I was so afraid and I "snapped out" of my frozen body (astral project/OBE). After dragging myself down the hallway (trying to get away) I "woke up" back in bed, sometimes again in sleep paralysis. FUN TIMES. xD

I reaaaaallllyyyyy don't like aliens'
Watching me sleep and messing up my dreams.. Gosh. Actually as I kid I LOVED them. that's another story. You have any experiences with any of the sorts?

The UFO/alien imagery strikes me as an archetype that your subconscious is using to get your attention, to get you lucid, a Dream Trigger. There may be more of a connection but only you can determine that; but don't get too carried away with this.

The 'hat men' and 'shadow people' that you encounter in SP are entirely normal, figments of your subconscious to literally spook you. This is a Fear Test; you will get them from time to time and in many forms. Further Tests involve the sexual urge, patience, frustration, anger, problem-solving...etc. Just 'notice' them, stay calm and ignore them and they will lose any power they may have. Go with the flow. Your instinct to move away from your physical is exactly right until you decide how to stay and fight this fight (which is to NOT fight at all).

No one is watching you sleep or messing with your dreams...except maybe some Guide(s) or your Higher Self.

The earlier posts and theories you discussed that I was referring to involved Tulpas and thoughtforms. You recognized that the people you encountered were not your mother and brother. They were likely thoughtforms, and the "We consume souls while humans sleep" sounds to me like a classic line churned out by your subconscious, again a Fear Test. A good one! That would get my attention too! You had a brief bout of fear but rebounded with the love-energy protection command and this ended the experience.

JMO but the reason you had the dream, awoke in a False Awakening, and faced various fear episodes was all a learning experience. And you did well, you passed!

Someone gave you a Lesson.

Oh that is gold. Thank you!

I'm glad that resonated with you Loosh!

You are going through some of the same experiences and have instinctively come up with the best 'shadow people' responses by simply commanding them to dismiss themselves. Beautifully done!
