large "astral snake?" in my bed

[goodscorpion]

I have yet to have a lucid obe but i think I've been getting really close. i only recently learned [thanks to coast to coast am and Mr. Bruce] that my symptoms were even related to this phenomena. anyway, while waking in the middle of the night recently to strong vibrations, I had the sensation of a large snake underneath me, moving around. I knew logically that there was no snake in my bed but I was just half asleep enough that it scared me into waking up and checking. I was so disappointed having come some close to a lucid obe. Do you think this was part of the splitting process or some "astral wildlife" trying to scare me out of my obe?

Hi goodscorpion

I'd say the sensation of the astral snake was simply a symptom of the beginnings of an OBE, and the "snake" was your interpretation.

Lots of strange things happen, noises, voices, shouting, movement, the feeling that someone is standing near you, and so on and so on and so on.

You have to learn to ignore them all (which takes time and practice).  Only this morning I "heard" someone whisper something right next to my ear, which snapped me out of the state.  Luckily, I'm quite used to these things, so I managed to drift back into the state and carry on with the OBE.

Good luck!

the snake sounds like a kundalini image to me ....
perhaps you are ready to ignite the second flame of kundalini .

This snake was a creation of your mind. You have to remember that when entering AP/OBE your imagination is set free. Your mind is a powerful tool. If you believe something to be there, then it will be created. Make sure you know that you are the controller of your surroundings. So, if something bad happens you can change it with a simple positive thought.                Happy Astraling!
