Chasing an intruder in hypnagogic state

[Venus_Goddess_of_Love]

Hi all

Two nights ago I was caught in between wakefulness and sleep and realised I had company.  Someone was walking around my bed.  It felt like this consciousness was trying to let me rest and get me some fresh air while I sleep (I sometimes feel a gush of wind while I sleep).  But I knew that this was not a higher consciousness, in fact, this being was a parasite that feeds off my energy and energy field (an intruder).  So of course, it is to his/her advantage that I recharge my batteries.  Next, the consciousness leans over to inspect me closely, maybe because he/she realised I was watching, but trapped inside my body!

I could not move obviously as I was in a sleep paralisis. So I decided not to be afraid and instead to use my thought to visualise/create a ball of light in the centre of the room and expand it to all sides.  At the same time I filled each cell in my body with light until I felt strong, invincible and covered with light energey.  I saw the consciousness turn away and disappear.  I felt really good.  But I still could not get out of my body even though I knew I was thinking, seeing and sensing with my astral body.  So I decided to try out some techniques I learned at my AP classes - the elongation technique.  I was able to extend my (astral) left foot past the bed and even to the door the other side of the room.  This was fun, and I did some more.  I saw my feet going through the wooden bed frame and actually felt the wood's vibration.  I let my foot stay in the wood for a few seconds, I was fascinated that I could do this but it was uncomfortable.  I decided to go to back to my body as I was bored! 

Is anyone else worried about intruders?  How do you remove them from your environment without a daily ritual.  (I've been taught at school to cleanse everyday but that's just too much for me).  Is there an easier method?

Also how can I get out of my body when I'm stuck in a hypnagogic state?

Cheers

You got bored, eh?  I probably would have tried visualizing myself falling down a slide or rising up to try and astrally project at that point. Did you try something like that?

Also, a couple nights ago I too saw an intruder of sorts, but I couldn't tell whether he was positive or negative.

LOL. I tried my best to sit up but couldn't.  I also thought that I would need lots of energy to get out of my body (may not be true).  Plus, the hypnagogic state is not the most comfortable situation to be in...  I prefer to have a blackout then find myself outside my body or move slowly from a dream state; both of which I have done before.

Hmm. Well, I don't know what to tell you then. 

I'll try this ball of light technique next time I see this intruder sitting at the foot of my bed, hopefully that will get rid him (supposing that he's a negative entity in the first place). That technique would probably work better than trying to beat him up in the astral.

I think you have low levels of melatonin.  It is common to have sleep paralysis and see an unknown figure lurking about your bed.  This is how people get those alien abduction stories, or being visited by a 'boogie man' like monster.

Vice, ok we're getting somewhere. How do I bump up my melatonin?

The natural way to increase melatonin is to meditate. Scientific research has showed that people who meditate have a more melatonin at night while they sleep.  Here's a nice meditation technique:

1. Find a quiet place and sit in a comfortable position. Try to relax your muscles.

2. Choose a word or phrase that has special meaning to you and makes you feel peaceful. Or you can try the words "Ham Sah", a Sanskrit mantra meaning "I am that".

3. As you breathe in, slowly produce the sound "haaam" as if you are sinking into a hot bath. As you exhale, slowly produce to sound "saah", which should feel like a sigh.

4. Breathe slowly and naturally. Inhale through your nose and pause for a few seconds. Exhale through your mouth, again pausing for a few seconds.

5. Don't worry about how well you are doing and don't feel bad if thoughts or feelings intrude. Simply say to yourself "Oh well" and return to your repetition.

6. As the time comes to a close, continue to be aware of your breathing but sit quietly. Becoming aware of where you are, slowly open your eyes and get up gradually.

new member here, i found your posts interesting so I thought I would add something. There are those who do not like the light and want to cause harm. Last night, 7-8 people entered the dream state with someone posing as Richard Gere as the leader. T.V.s were not on(third eye) and then all took a picture of themselves(probably due to their accomplishment) and then wanted me to go walking with them. What is the best antidote to shut them down? Their entrance was earlier that day trying to get in through my fear of not being able to protect myself.

Well the person that you saw could be an astral entity and bad or an psychic vampire that feeds on your energy. I had the same problem with astral entities feeding on my energy. This has been stopped by a witch doctor. Though i used to stop them by giving/sending them a ball of light. Almost similar to yours but mine is pure love. these entities can not stand love it's their weakest point i found
