Shadows while physically concious

[Newoldsoul]

So I've stated before I've had some strange experiences throughout my life but shrugged them off for the most part. Now that I've begun practicing AP after realizing my symptoms over the years were part of it, at random I have a shadow or two on my wall at night that suddenly appear and move about the room and the house. I physically see them as well as my dogs inside. The guard dog outside doesn't seem to notice anything different outside. While practicing and affirming my intent I've asked repeatedly for guides or whoever is present to help if they find me stuck in my body. Have I somehow, only through practice as I have not conciously AP'd that I can recall yet, summoned someone or "thing" into my physical reality? My wife does not notice them and at times while I'm fully concious in the physical I'll begin to hear a high pitched squeel in my ears and feel my body pulsate with energy and then the dogs run to the hall and begin going crazy...I'm new to ALL of this really as far as concious effort so I'm searching out explanations from people who may have these experiences as well. Is this part o AP or something else entirely?

I doubt that you have attracted some entity into your home, but I don't rule it out also. But it's like 98% to 2%...

What you are describing sounds exactly like Hypnogogia as you are falling asleep or Hypnopompia, as you are waking up. Look up those terms on Wikipedia and read the Sticky "Everything you wanted to know about sleep paralysis".

What's making the dogs act up is interesting, nonetheless.

Read those, think upon it, and share your thoughts.

What I'm saying is I'm wide awake, fully concious in the physical. I was sitting in my recliner after work with a glass of tea and a sandwich and the dog in my lap watching tv. Get the hissing high pitched sound and a shadow moves across the wall behind the tv. I see it and the dog sees it and I know this because she raised her head up out of my lap and turned to see it and we both watched it move across the wall into the kitchen all the while she was growling and snarling at it...i wasn't trying to project or even meditate. She then jumped out of the chair and hopped to the kitchen and started barking and going crazy at only one spot in the kitchen. Anyway, when I am trying to project and or meditate I do get plenty of hypnogogic sights, sounds etc but this was entirely different.

The high-pitched hissing sound indicates to me that you are shifting awareness, despite the tea and sandwich; damn, that's a nice recliner, lol, so maybe this is a thought form you are somehow forming and setting loose and so your doggie reacts to it...or maybe you do have a presence there, lurking around.

In a meditative state you can ask for it to leave or command it to leave or ask for a clarifying dream or perception on the whole situation. Then go from there, is this exclusive to this home? Maybe this place has a ghost or a remnant, of sorts?

I hope some of these ideas help.

I've considered the possibility of it being a remnant of my wife's grandmother who used to live there. She didn't die in the home but my wife says she has dreams about her fairly frequently so maybe it is just her. When it first happened it was one of those wtf was that moments but other than that I wasn't scared or anything just a kind of weird curiosity about what it was i guess. No it's not limited to just this home in particular. Earlier in my life I'd randomly see silhouettes of 'things' is the best way I can put it. Sometimes in my room or in my truck or even on top of buildings etc. I'd get the spine tingly hair raising sensation everytime but sometimes could 'feel' positive or negative energy. understand that I, up until the last month, have pretty well shut the door and shrugged off most o this stuff and basically forgotten about a good portion of it but a few still vividly stick out so I'm trying to figure out if what I've experienced in physical life is really unconcious or subconcious thoughts manifesting in the physical or if i'm some sort of medium or something...I had a very close friend killed five years ago. Visited his grave with a friend once and we were standing there talking about thw good times and the same high pitched hissing, my friends voice drown out and the sound was verrry intense then tingles starting at my shoulders and wrapped around and consumed me. I knew beyond a doubt it was my friend and it scared the excrement out of me! it abruptly stopped and I could hear him running back to the woods. later I felt very calm and peaceful about his situation but in that moment mannn almost had a heartastroke! Similar to the vibe state but with full knowing that you are being embraced so to speak by something...

[Newoldsoul]

With all that being said, thank you for the tips! When I get home in the morning and meditate and try to AP again I'll ask for clarification and for it to show itself in a form I can better understand. Hopefully it will be nice and friendly as i feel it means no harm . Also, could this be a guide or some other watchful presence or entity of sorts? I hope I can get a final conclusion on it.

[EscapeVelocity]

Well, with what you have written, the situation changes a bit.

If You get sensations while fully awake, that points to your being pretty open, energetically, to these Wider Reality experiences. It will be confusing until you can put it into some kind of order. I'm not the best to help you with that in this particular instance; maybe Szaxx or Bluefire or another can point you in the right direction.

What I can help you with is that, when you are "out", or in an "experience" of sorts, just go with the flow as best you can, trust your innate intuition, and see where you go. Always trust that you are completely safe and protected. If the experience moves into these areas, you are being tested, go with it and push yourself!

Having fun yet?

Oh i'm having a blast! I only wish i could have understood more about this much sooner, but being raised southern baptist in a town of 350...anything like this and i would have been worshipping the dehbul or have been possesed or just plain crazy lol! Like i said i had buried this stuff down over the years and now i'm not afriad or freaked but more open minded than ever before and ready to explore every corner of my conciousness

We see these kinds of shadows on night shift working at the hospitals. They're harmless I don't think they're usually aware that they're being observed this is a bit of psychic sight. Some of the forms are going to be generated by your own mind the thoughtforms and shadowforms can be visible like this and the ones giving off a menacing presence are probably reflecting your fears at the sight of something unsual.
Nurses have this happen all the time. I don't know why it's so prevelent in hospital work but I've even had incidents where a nurse has asked me why I came back from break early and said I was checking on my  patients..... this happened while I was taking a nap on my break. Not everyone can see them and usually the best thing is to disregard them.
Your body reaction is an energy surge running through your body in response to your emotional state. I have the same response plus I have a huge rushing in my torso, shrieking in my ears when the energy gets really going and  a lot of heat to the point where I sweat, and vibrations. I react this way most strongly in the presence of an angel. or other  powerful divine being but even talking about it now brings on a bit of the sensation.  If your visualize your heart opening it will ease it a bit trying to stay closed when thats going on can be uncomfortable.

Be emotionally sensitive and observe the result if the vision persists longer than a second.
Otherwise ignore them. They are either imaginings from your subconcious, an echo of an emotion from the past or a possible entity.
None have ever been harmful and the very few that are entities let you feel what they want. This is usually a go away impression.
(Bluefire, I'll agree with the prominence in hospitals. They are on the subfloors too. Some are really creepy to experience, tingly back of neck creepy).

Just accept you're sensitive, to improve the sensitivity try to go into daydream or autopilot mode when entering churches, hospitals ect.
The quietened mind will be in alpha and you'll see/feel a big difference. 
Watch out for tactile sensations, rare but you jump every time.

When I first started APing, maybe a month or so into it, I would hear russeling, scurrying and growling around the base of the couch I was phasing on.  This not only happened in SP but after I was no longer phasing, sitting up, fully awake in the physical.      -Not the cat or dog!

Also, I would experience pressure in my head and energy noises like flies buzzing past me during the day at random times.  Got to thinking I was going a little crazy!  But things evened out and calmed down after awhile.  Just thought forms and being sensitive to the new energetic realm I was learning to access.

In times of deep prayer and meditation, my cat has stared over my head and around my general area with a look of shock and intensity.  Animals are very sensitive to these things, I find.  You're not alone!   

[Newoldsoul]

Thanks soarin! Yes it seems animals are much more in tune with these things. I'm glad to be finding out that these things are normal occurences. It's very exciting to me and truly fascinating
