first time posting in the astral section. im coming to 20 yrs old, male. My energy developing skills are quite good. A major fear holding me back right now is dreaming. I have restrained from doing it for so long, and now it wont let me go at night. I close my eyes for a second and I feel like im moving... so I open up my eyes of course, returning from a waving feeling similar to a hollucination. Lately Ive only been sleeping durring the day.
Experience Question:
- entities: are they existing? I feel like Ive experienced one in a recent dream. But im not sure. What do I do about these guys, stuff like this scares me. In my most recent experience, some type of entity zapped my genitals + arm and said "we have (or had) an agreement Dreamer," then started to spin me around in circles (i woke up at this point). is that in my head or what
My Fears:
- im terribly scared of the transition phases. and im scared of going too far in any way too. I hear there are multiple gates in dreaming and different entities... I want to take baby steps.
- my biggest fear: im afraid that even 1 astral-projection would give me a surpluss of energy/awareness that would cause "real life" to be equal to a dream. As far as actual awareness goes. If I do even a small amount of energy work on my stomach/chest ... and "gaze", it starts to full-on resemble a dream. I feel that if I do astral-projection, the dream state feeling in "real-life" will be a common place due to the increased energy. This simply scares me for social reasons. I live with my parents... and I dont enjoy being around family in that state. It makes me cry to no end, so I have been deliberately avoiding it.
Welcome to the forum, Jaycep!
First of all, there is nothing you should be afraid of. I am sure that the entities you think you've encountered are just symptoms of the hypnotic state, which is a normal phase of the AP process. I, too, hear voices and sometimes touches, and many of us do. These are just products of our mind. The feelings you experience at night means your astral body is ready to travel - maybe try and go with the feelings! Nothing, and I mean really NOTHING can harm you. I was afraid of sleeping at night recently, but I conquered my fears, that is nothing impossible! You just have to realize that you are safe.
What is more, don't think about entities, or , if you can't help it, better think about the good ones - your Guardian Angels, your Guides - they are always near to protect you! Believe me, they are!
Don't be afraid also because your awareness increases. It is good. I really don't know how to explain this better. It is good! :tickle:
hehe! that alone helped a lot to ease my mind. Im building up the courage!!! Since I can do it after only a few seconds of closing my eyes (when tired of course), my recently conjured plan is to travel a little further in the transition every time. At this rate im bound to succeed in 1 night. Idiotic that i didnt think of this before.
Ive had some scary stories told to me when i was younger from people who focused on dreaming a lot. This might be the biggest cause to my fear. But just to defend my self, ive never had a problem with dreaming up until recently. Ive always just ignored it or disregarded it - foolishly.
Oh, and never read the threads about negs. They should be banned! :lol:
