need help- my story

[davesayers]

Here's my story,

For years now I have been having nightmares (they are more real than dreams) about  dark silhouetted figures in my house shutting off the lights and running (mentally) around at un-humanly speeds screaming in fear, some latching on to me and some dragging me away when I was a lot younger. I have used an 'Ouija Board' before, but these dreams/reality dreams came before this. When using the Ouija Board the spirits spelt out comments about me, fearing me? Telling me not to open my third eye? Spelling out 'ONE' then going to the question mark repeatedly, I still don't understand. At one party I'd been to, a person become possessed trying to get rid of a dark energy, he became aggressive and almost superhuman in strength. I didn't believe in this at the time, but when he attacked someone after throwing two men off him with no effort he ran at me. I was asked (shouted at) to stop him and I did, but soon as my hand touched him he got extremely hurt and weakened, yet I'd used barely any strength?
Okay now on to the hardcore story. For years I have been able to create this immense feeling of energy in my chest and work it throughout my body, it's like a pure white light, sometimes when It's too powerful I feel like I'm vibrating. Anyway, in my dreams I use this energy to control my dreams, every night becoming more and more powerful. It began with fighting back against a re-occurring dream where a dark silhouette would drag me into darkness, and a frightening girl who used to strangle me when saving her from falling off a cliff? The more self aware I became the more difficult it became to learn these so called dream control abilities. Like training for the mind. I have learnt to fly, stop time, have incredible strength, pass through objects, telekinesis , healing and much, much more. In these dreams I'm nearly always protecting someone. One dream a dark figure ran and grabbed me and entered me, I woke feeling really grim, not myself at all. I then had the same dream, but this time some people were begging me to save them from the figure, which was wanted to frighten me, luring me into a dark hut. I became self aware in this dream and took control and told them I'll protect them, I entered the hut and the dark figure ran over and grabbed me...so I grabbed it back, concentrated my energy into light...pure white light and pumped it into this figure and it faded into nothingness, the hut then blew up and light entered, then I woke up feeling amazing, peaceful and full of light...this scared me a little. So moving on, these abilities I have are becoming stronger and I'm gaining much more control, I can fly at speeds that no man could possibly so in this world, I can feel the wind, adrenalin and g-force...It's amazing, and it's all controlled by this energy.
Moving on...I had a dream where a grey, darkish figure was following me, but frightened of me. The lights went out, not around me, but around a close friend, who was in my dream, the creature latched onto him and I woke. Later than day my friend, who is always happy and cheerful looked like death, and told me he felt like death, as though something was pulling him down. Freaked out I told him about my dream, he laughed, but seemed frightened. I told him that I could control my dreams and I said I'll try and enter his next dream and heal him after a friend told me he'd read stories where this is possible. Any way that night I had some normal dreams, then I became self aware and realised what I said I'd try. I shut my eyes (in dream eyes) and concentrated on my energy and pictured my friend, then an earthquake effect took place and everything went black. The dream didn't feel the same...somehow felt like real life.  A row of centred lights above me went into the distance, and lay up against a wall was my friend. I ran over and he was muttering nonsense about wanting to die, begging for death. He then died in my arms. Crying in my dream I focused my energy into my hand and placed it onto his head and concentrated on healing him. He then woke in my arm and was confused as to where he was. I told him what I did and told him I'd wake him up. I once again concentrated and he disappeared. I was alone for about a minute and was woken up by a text saying ''did you just enter my dream''. Not wanting to tell him what happened in my version of the dream I met up with him and asked what happened in this dream, he said in his dream he woke up in a dark room in my arm, one hand placed on his head and that I was smiling. My eyes filled up with excitement and I asked him what the place looked like, he said there was a row of lights behind me and that he was laid up against a brick wall. I jumped for joy and told him my half and he wouldn't believe me, still to this day.
Moving on again, and to the reason why I'm writing to you about the Astral Plane. In a recent dream I was controlling it, flying and landed. A girl was sat looking at me, staring. I approached and asked her who she was....then I woke up...not in bed, but in the street next to my house. It was cold, and early hours in the morning. Everything felt far too real and was laid out precisely like it is in real life, bearing in mind I walked over a quarter of a mile in this dream. This dream...if you can call it that was bleak.  The people I walked past in the street weren't speaking; they looked upset, angry and tearful. But they also seemed extremely wary of me, steering clear of me. I could see my house and somehow I knew I was asleep in there, but confused I entered my town area. One girl was frustratingly hitting the buttons on a cash machine, nearly crying. I asked her if she was okay, and with one look at me became nervous telling me I shouldn't be here, and begging me not to speak to her. I followed her telling her that it was my dream as she marched away begging me to leave her alone, so I did. In the centre of town there were around 100 people sitting around, looking at me with shock. A young man ran up asking me what I was doing 'here'. I told him that I was dreaming and he quietly told me to walk in a stern tone. I followed him as he told me that this wasn't a dream, that I shouldn't be here, that I was in serious danger if I didn't leave. I laughed and told him it is a dream, that I can control whatever I like as it's my world. He said that in this place I can be killed, that it's not my world, that it's 'theirs' whilst pointing at a group of men. One of which hated me and wanted me to leave, or so this young man said to me. He begged me to leave when I heard a scream. The young girl I's spoken to at the cash machine was being beaten by the group of men whilst the one who hated me stared at me blankly. The young man told me to leave, but the girl begged for my help. I ran over and got mid way when they stopped and turned to me. The guy who hated me told me to not intervene, to leave as I'm not allowed to be here. I told him that I can control this world, but considering how real it felt I worried. He picked up some sort of rock and threw it at me, hitting my in the shoulder, I had tried to control it to allow it to go through my body but got nothing...the pain felt real as he laughed. I concentrated much harder and told him to try again, he did and I transferred the object through my body, but could feel it pass through. Fear struck across his face, he couldn't believe what I did, so I ran at him and using my energy smashed him into the ground causing a tremor, he didn't get back up. Every one cheered, and the young man said he's never seen some one control this world...then I woke up.

I went to work and told a friend who said what I experienced sounded like Astral Plane activity and that some people can enter this world.

Can you tell me what it is exactly, why I could control this world and why people appeared gob smacked at what I could do? If it really was Limbo then no wonder evil and people left to wonder the earth seemed so grim and angry. I've sometimes woken feeling as though I'm levitating but I'm not, I'm still laying in my bed, but extremely light in weight. It sounds corny I know, but this was no dream, it's freaked me out a lot. Could you shed some light on what it is I can do and why?

Thanks,

phew, where to begin..

First of all, thank you for sharing your story. You have an ability to Lucid dream without trying, which is difficult to do for even experienced metaphysical people.
I'm generally new to this too, so bear with me here.

This is a theory
There are countless different planes, while Lucid dreaming you are shifting your awareness from the physical plane into the mental plane.
While lucid dreaming, you are completely aware that you are dreaming and you are able to make your own choices, you can feel pain, and you are completely aware of your 'body' and everything that is. Many of the beings in the Mental plane seem disoriented, like they are just there to act as a background. There are also beings who are intelligent and very spiritual, and beings who are threatening and rude.
Lucid dreaming can at times seem more realistic than Astral Projecting. There is controversy as to whether or not these beings can physically harm you or not, seeing as you technically are DREAMING, however if you follow the 'Mental Plane' theory then you are actually shifting awareness to the mental plane, which may in turn leave you vulnerable to different things.

When you sleep, if you can shift your point of awareness from your physical body into your Astral 'body', you can exit your physical body(I'm aware this isn't the correct term, but I'm drawing a blank as to what it's called right now) and enter the Real time zone. In the real time zone, you will act as a 'ghost' (meaning people will not be able to see you, but you are active in this time and space and can witness and experience events that are taking place at this time). Once you get into the Real time zone, you can enter the Astral planes many ways.
There are believed to be 7 levels of planes, each level containing 7 sub-levels, and those sub-levels containing 7 levels, etc. The 7 main levels are believed to represent the 7 chakras. Usually, you will oly be able to enter the lower Astral planes, which may seem dreary and have some lost/dwelling spirits on them. The lowest Astral planes may even have angry spirits, or beings that were never human at all, things resembling demons and that such. You will usually not be able to stay there for a long time, because the vibration rate is very low there and you will be automatically transferred to a higher plane than these.
The higher Astral planes can be described as places of unexplainable beauty, peace, happiness, love and Source. Source is everything that you are, and everything in the Universe.

What you described in your story (being able to control things, etc.) sounds like Lucid dreaming.  While Lucid dreaming, you are aware of your physical body, and can therefore feel/experience pain or pleasure, such as eating, drinking, scraping your knees, etc.
It sounds like you are experienced with Lucid dreaming, and you must have a gift for it, I don't know very much about it other than the basics. I suggest reading/studying these kinds of things if you are interested, because it can lead to Enlightment and Spiritual journeys and closeness you didn't even think possible...

Cheers!

I just want to quickly point out that Spirituality isn't linked to anything Metaphysical like Lucid Dreaming or Astral Projection.
Sure, you can use them for spiritual growth, but they really have nothing to do with spirituality in the manner which we talk about here.

Someone can be spiritual without ever practicing anything talked about on this forum. 

It'd be more correct for your first sentence to read "even for experienced metaphysical people".
We just need to tackle this terminology thing first. 

[missym]

lol, yes of course you can be spiritual without practicing LD, AP, and those things that was an oops on my part 

[missym]

And likewise, you can practice without being spiritual lol

Yuppers!
