Looking for a little help and insight

[DaemoNox]

Hello, I just joined, and am looking to pick other's minds about a few things.  I've been introduced to Astral projecting awhile ago, couple of years ago I kept waking up through the night with what I thought were little seizures when it finally dawned on me that they were vibrations.  Now and then they would come on their own last night, I am very interested in going further however there always something that seems to be holding me back; most noticably screaming; as well as other voices, music, and growling.

For example, last night I was dreaming, although I wasnt in the dream, just watching.  Then the vibrations hit hard, my breathing was lowered although I only knew it because I could hear it.  It was almost like the dream was stuck on repeat of a lady saying a single word with some deep meaning behind it, over and over again slowely. There were also other voices.  Then in my head I said 'show yourself' and the screaming began again, as if a room full of people were screaming and reaching towards me.  It startles me so I force myself out of that state with some effort and wake up.

I was just wondering if the voices, the screaming were just in my head or if its actually something; if perhaps I just surround myself with negitive energy; and if there's a way around it?  Or if it just should be ignored?  Its moreso the fear and uneasyness of the unknown, and that a part of me is worried that I wont be comming back if I go.

Thanks for any help and advice, its a difficult subject to talk about with most people.

Well, this is if you believe in the Astral realm to be a mental thing or a physical thing. I've heard of this shouting and commotion while in the point of transition to the energy body with other people (I've not had it yet) but I can see how it would be distressing. And you know if you try to remember what they are saying too hard, you lose some of your lucidity and focus on what's happening. Being I've heard of this account before, this is likely to be just how the atmosphere of your OBE is, and to continue. Instead of forcing yourself out of that state, I recommend trying to become curious instead of fearful to your surroundings. Fear leads to distraction, which leads to failure.

I know this feeling very well, as I suffered from sleep paralysis for a very long time, and some of the "hallucinations" I had were of screaming and ominous figures.  I eventually got sick of this and one night when this was happening, I challenged these "hallucinations" to actually try and hurt me.  Of course they couldn't and although I still did suffer from waking sleep paralysis, I wasn't plagued by frightening visuals or sounds.  And trust me when I say, this is all mental and it's only as bad as you make it out to be.   If you continue thinking it is something real(demons, ghosts, etc.) then you aren't going to get anywhere.  You must realize this is your subconscious bringing to life what you might think is out there.  Just do what I did, let these SOB hallucinations know you ain't gonna take their excrement anymore and challenge them to take you on and just watch and wait and trust me, you will be fine.

Sight and sound hallucinations are common during the transition to the astral planes. I don't know what exactly causes it though but once the transition is complete you won't hear them anymore. Also with my experience these only happened in the beginning and now they are very pleasant except for one recent occurance. Many people including me believe that lower vibrational energy and negative energy exists on the lower planes and is what influences us. Just the other day I woke with sleep paralysis and vibrations. I could see but my room was rearranged and my mirror was sitting in the floor (instead of on the wall). I remember having a 360 degree vision and when I looked into the mirror there was a black shadowy object near me. I felt the presence and became very frightened. Typically when I was a beginner I would fight to wake up but now I stick with it because I know it cant harm me. This time I started praying and I saw my entire body and what appeared to be a auric field around me get bright and powerful. I woke up after this but I felt relief and like I won. It was a frightening but altogether a good experience.

Do your best to ignore it and learn to keep your emotions under control when necessary.

You can start by practicing this during your waking hours. If you can keep your calm during stressful situations throughout your day, it will be much easier to keep your cool in the midst of this chaos you speak of.

Much luck!

**If you're really curious, maybe try asking why they are screaming. If you feel that is not a good idea, then by all means, listen to your intuition.**
