A couple of scary experiences of mine

[Konkey Dong]

Well, the reason I am posting these stories is to get a bit of feedback or just some of your thoughts on them.
A few months back, I astral projected into red and black mist- it is hard to explain, even though this 'mist' was clear and crisp, it still had this fuzzy look about it. Well, as I came into my projection- I looked around through this mist and after a second I had realized I felt locked in place, and realized I felt I was being carried. I remember feeling like something had me by my shoulders. I looked up and I infact was being carried by what looked like a gigantic bird, but this bird had a smokey shadowy look with large flapping smokey wings. I remember looking up and this 'bird' looking down at me, I dont know what it said to me, but when it spoke, it spoke with the sound of millions of voices in unison and sounded amplified and really scary. Right after that, the bird dropped me into a pit of some sort with gigantic solid-black beings. They were humongous, like the size of a 4 or 5 story building. There were about 5 or 6 of them I saw as I dropped down into the pit or arena. After that, I remember landing on the ground, then one of these gigantic beings took notice and charged towards me. At that moment, I thought to myself run or fly away, but I was unable to, and as it neared me, it spoke in the same way the shadow bird did- in thousands of voices in unison. Then this being that rushed at me swung one of it's arms and hit me on my right hip, I felt a strong sting- and the feeling of something blunt and solid just hit me. I was launched into tue air and far away and at this point, I slowly faded out of the projection and actually woke up. The fact that makes it so scary for me is the fact that- during this whole experience, I felt just as awake as I do now as I write this. I woke up with a weird feeling like completely convinced this just literally happened to me, and I was awake the whole time from the beginning of the projection until the awakening of my physical body.
The second projection happened not long after the one above. I projected one night, and unlike the projection above, I came out of my physical body- I just sort of floated out and into a vertical stance. I remember turning around and seeing a strong blur where my body was, but I turned back around and headed for my bedroom door- I planned on walking through, because I close my bedroom door at night. So I planned on walking through, and as I did, right on the other side of my door were 3 or 4 really jagged and dark-black figures with weird facial features-like a jagged beak sort of mouth and perfectly circular eyes. I immediately get scared and walk backwards through my bedroom door back into my room, these things are following me right back in, and for some reason, as I backed up, I knew exactly where my body lay on my bed and I laid back into my physical body, the whole time I'm face to face with these creatures. They begin to hover right above me as I'm in my laying-down-position and I start feeling them touch me, like on my torso, my ribs, arms, and legs(nothing sexual). This feeling of having my astral body being touched was VERY disturbing. As I was fading out of my astral projection, I could still feel this touching going on, and I literally woke up- and once again, like the above projection, I felt awake during this all- from the point I came into the projection to the point of physically waking up. Very scary experiences.
Any thoughts or advice? Oh, and I won't let these get in my way of having more projections. These are just two of my worst ones.

Those are some fascinating experiences for better or worse. I don't blame you for being disturbed, the "thousand voices in unison" thing would freak me out, especially. With these kinds of occurences I'm reminded of the story of the Buddha having to go through many distractions, negative entities, etc. to reach enlightenment. He did that by remaining neutral to the emotion-jarring stimulus being thrown at him. From this perspective, try to remain as an observer when you feel trapped in a negative experience. Think of it as a test of will... hell, be happy you're in the experience. Laugh it off and send 'Pure Unconditional Love' as some might suggest. If you can control your attitude in a tough situation you're ahead of the game. Sounds easier than it is and I'm certainly no master on the topic, but I'm pretty sure that's the end goal to shoot for.
