I recently had an OBE that was very short-lived, I woke myself up out've fear because I was floating towards a black cloud. I hadn't had any strange experiences since I moved here, my old house was haunted, and the last times I saw a black cloud during an OBE-type experience, it was NOT a good thing. But I don't think this house is haunted. Usually the experience is accompanied by sleep paralysis, but that didn't happen this time either... Does anyone know what the black cloud could be? SHOULD I be afraid? Am I confusing it with the negative spirit in the old house just because it's black? Could I be on another plane and not realize it? I'm definitely not an expert at OBE's, they just happen sometimes, lol...
I don't know what the cloud is. I used to have a recurring nightmare as a child about a black cloud always being after me. I've hardly had a nightmare in my life (32yrs), but that one I used to often get when I was between 4-5 years old still sticks in my mind. Now that I think of it, it's interesting that I can remember those dreams quite clearly after all this time.
I'm not sure if a black cloud is a significant symbol, but I hope someone knows. :)
Hi Crystal
The black cloud could be... anything!
In future, I would go with your instinct as to whether to approach it or not. Just because it's the "astral" it doesn't necessarily mean one thing or the other. As in the physical, we (hopefully) use our gut instinct in our dealings with others, and so we should in the astral.
Just because the cloud is "dark", it doesn't make it evil. After all, in physical reality, dark clouds simply mean rain! :lol:
Try to keep a level head in the astral. Don't believe what anything/anyone tells you. Go with how you feel. If you feel a little afraid, then move/turn away from the cloud. You see, in the physical, if someone wants to bully you, they need you to fear them in order to do so. So if you don't show fear, they get bored and move on.
The best thing you can do in the astral is show no fear. Just as in the physical.
In the astral, being curious rather than fearful tends to be more productive.
Good luck!
