Do you know what this could be?

[Jlrchrd2]

for the past several months, i'll wake up to go to the bathroom  lay down and phase into (something/whatever focus?).. and this creature?animal?spirit? of some sort will either growl at me (which it did more so in the earlier months of this happening) to which i sent love to it and it would fade out as i phased out. or it will just run around my bed, jumping almost sounding like a rabbit's thud on the ground when it jumps. it'll run around my head and body for a bit and then i'll just phase out. everytime i phase into this it seems to approach me running from a distance and then start just jumping around madly, or grawl in my ear. Anyways. ive tried asking it what it is, why its here. will it go away, but i get no response. i think its stopping me from ever really getting out of my body. i can never see it (i can never seen anything when i phase into this "whatever"). anyways i thought it was my fear at first which it still could be but now i feel i dont have fear for it im just annoyed and want it to go away. any thoughts on what it could be? (i dont have any pets by the way, never have- brothers allergic) so.. anywho let me know if youve got thoughts! thanks

I don't have any idea that what it is. Do you have any photo of it?

 I would say this is your first "test". Pass it and there will be many more! It's your quest or should I say puzzle now. You will find that this is the way that the Astral communicates it's lessons to you. Overcome one, a harder one awaits!

Interesting! I saw an entity once when I was in sleep paralysis sitting on my bed looking at me. Then a really tall shadow figure walk across my hallway. Kinda looked reptileish? I heard that these can be bad guys or something. The reptilians? I think is what they are called. It may have not even been one of them. He didn't seem interested in me too much. Very tall figure though... Tall and skinny. The figure on my bed didn't seem negative at all. I ended up losing focus though, but it was about 30 seconds of EXTREME realism.

I think these are all just things we have to pass and learn from. Cool thing you are not letting it scare you though. They can't hurt you, but it's got to be annoying if it's keeping you from getting out of body. I'd keep asking it questions maybe. There is a lot of new things in the astral or real time zone that I never even seen in the physical. I saw a fish swimming on my carpet once. I am not sure if it was actually swimming, but more like just floating there in a swimming motion. I tried touching it but it just kept looking at me. I am a Pisces so I found this interesting.

Anyway, good luck to ya!

That is an astral critter of some kind , it might just be a thought form .  You might try banishing it or filling it with white light .  desert rat

After settlers and explorers visited indonesia many times... the myth of dragons were dispelled when it was realised they were big reptiles that were aptly named Komodo dragons.

There were 2 legged walking apemen that once inhabited the Congo according to the natives.. till they were found out to be a benign yet very intelligent chimp they called the Bobobo ape.

Most things can be either explained away or given a common ground once they have been experienced enough.. its down to statistics.

As far as Sleep paralysis goes... I have experienced it thousands of times... THOUSANDS... and because of this number... I have experienced a cornucopia of 'things' during SP.

From shadow people... wolves... demons... angels... a clown... a wall crawling imp... the 8o's animated series character He-Man... my mother being stabbed in my bedroom doorway... a legion walking through my bedroom... a red demon fist being thrust through the back of my head to be seen protruding from my forehead... being choked by my teacher... my heart leaping out of my chest (literally)...

So...

By repeated exposure to these things and by process of elimination I can only conclude that they are subconscious hallucinations. I liked Lionheart's post about it being a test. It probably is. Not a test held by any external process... but a test designed by the consciousness to prepare and cleanse.

One thing is certain is that upon 'separation' these 'hallucinations' disappear and aren't part of the actual nonphysical experience. As though they are a requisite of the SP state... (duality) not the actual nonphysical awareness. 
Either way... every now and then I will still get distracted by

It odd you talked about this. When I was living with my ex every time I would start to project I would hear sgrowling as well and could sense a creature in the dark watching me... Sometimes it even jumped on my face and started snarling at me... It terrified the hell out of me, since I moved I haven't had it come around... I feel like it was coming from at part of town or my ex being as that side of town was a shady apartment complex and my ex was shady too... I think it was the energy from it all... Maybe.. I told it to go away and sent it light and love... Little monster!
