did i see a shadow creature in this dream?

[thedigi321]

allow me to explain

i have had some occurrences in my dreams one such night about 6 or so months ago i had a strange dream i was near graffiti it was a of a creeper(like from minecraft) and i an artist symbol instead of a name it was a dark figure in the drawing it was crude like a 4 year old drew it. then a girl was behind me. she had blue eyes, brown hair, and a pink dress, she looked about 10-11 years old. she said her friend drew that(talking about the creeper) and that he goes by the name shadow man. and asked if i wanted to meet him and i said yes. the next thing i know we were at a house, it was red with a white door and she knocked on it an a figure was standing in the door way. it had a dark mist around it. it look like it was 8-9 feet tall. she said he drew it. i felt uneasy then she and the figure went inside. something wasnt right like there was an evil presence so i opened the door and the room had a dark red(sort of maroon tint) the girl was scream upstairs. i was about to run up the stairs and then i woke up and felt uneasy still. a few days later i google shadow man on wikipedia but nothing came up so i google shadow people and something came up. to this day i am scared to sleep

could i have saw a shadow people?

[AAAAAAAA]

Sure. I wouldn't doubt the possibility. "Shadow people" (or whatever it is that they would call themselves) are all around us. They aren't dangerous unless you let them be. They feed on fear. If you allow them to freak you out, they will feed on it and make you tinkle yourself. But as long as you don't give them any energy to feed on they won't bother you. They will most likely just go about their business or give you messages. They will often just snoop around similarly as what you saw in your dream. People still seem to know very little about them,  though, so there isn't a whole lot I can say for sure.

is there a way i can talk to this being? maybe through astral projection? i would like to astral project so i can see the world(and possibly others) but i cant seem to relax enough to get to the signs(vibrating, numbing, floating, ect.) and i dont really know a good way to do it, do you have any advice/tips? it always feels like something doesn't want me to like a dark force almost. every time i tried to relax and focus i see disturbing images like exploding heads, blood and gore. i want to learn more about the different dimensions too and the beings on there

If you can see him in a Dream and you are consciously aware of that (Lucid), then yes you can talk to him. Lucid Dreaming is already a form of Astral Projection. It's just another way of "being" there.

You could use meditation as a way to talk to them. Or other altered states of mind. A guide or some other person might be trying to guide you away from dark forces,  but it is ultimately your decision. If you want to like a dark force,  that is your decision,  and only yours to make. And it is completely okay. Those signs you speak of are definitely helpful at the beginning, but are not required. They just help you know that you're on the right track, but they are not requirements for astral projecting. As for lucid dreaming, it is accepted by some as a form of astral projection. I don't know any more than anyone else,  however, my experiences with lucid dreaming are not that of an astral projection. I tend to get inaccurate information from lucid dreams, where as when I astral project, answers to certain questions are far more clear and actually accurate. This leads me to believe that they are two different things. I could be wrong. Maybe I'm just not use to using lucid dreams as a source of information.

The last tip I have for right now is embrace the suck. Simply that. The first few times you meditate,  it will feel painstakingly long and boring. But once you learn a bit about the interworkings through experience, you start to realize that you can make it not boring. One of the most important things that it will teach you is how to alter your state of mind. This will become helpful for carrying out certain functions. That is the way it was for me,  anyway. I can tell you more if you're interested.

Why wouldn't you wake up? lol. Don't pay any attention to things like "preconceoved-notions" or any of that other gobbledegook that you read on the internet. One of the first things that you will realize on your journey is that the internet is a horrible resource when it comes to getting accurate information on a sibject like astral projection. Nobody knows what the hell they are talking about anymore. Believe in nothing until you experience it for yourself. Do not listen to anyone who wants to tell you that everything works a certain way. Take anything that anyone tells you with a grain of salt. Those are just suggestions, obviously. You can do whatever you want. But letting everyone tell you that preconceived notions will get in the way is just putting another brick in the wall. No matter what anyone says,  things will come to you if you're ready,  preconceived or not. The sad truth of the matter is that everyone seems to make things more complicated then they really are. Astral projection is independent. You could do it right now if you really wanted to. You're only limiting yourself when you believe that preconceived notions have any effect on you. If someone gets struck by lightning, maybe they have a preconceived notion that it will phase right through their matter and won't even do anything to them. Do you think that notion will affect them in any way? No. Not one bit. No matter what they think,  that lightning strike is going to hit them. And it will probably hurt if it doesn't kill them. Sorry for the unnerving example. It is the only thing I could think of at this time. My point is,  no matter what you think, things are going to happen the way nature intends them to. You cannot change laws of nature just by thinking about preconceived notions. Your preconceived notions are only stressing you out. You are basically scaring yourself away from having a successfully self-induced projection. That's how I see things,  but what do I know?

it seems like you have a point. maybe I shouldn't be scared. it will only hold me back. Is anything possible in an astral projection.

[AAAAAAAA]

Not ANYTHING.  You can create simulations,  though. Like if you are in the astral, you can't make someone be there with you,  but you can create a simulation that they are with you. The only way it will actually happen, though is if they choose to be there. There are still certain laws of nature there. Even if you imagine something happening,  it doesn't mean it is really happening. Regardless,  there is an action-reaction function in the astral plane, but it is easy to create things there. You will find that as far as imagination goes,  yes,  almost anything is possible. You could imagine that the world is ending, and you might actually see it happening, but of course it isn't really happening. There will still be people on the astral plane who will not be experiencing what you are. When people say "anything is possible in the astral" they are right in a way. Anything technically is possible,but a lot of it is a client-sided thing. In other words,  if the astral plane is a "server" that people join to do things, and you are using a client in order to join this server, there will be things that you do that will only show on your client,  and not everyone else's. It's a one-way thing sometimes. Sorry if that is confusing,  that is the only way I know how to explain it.

can i gain powers like flying and levitation through enlightenment of other beings? or is that just crazy and impossible?

If you're astral projecting,  you can do almost anything.
