Title: Slipping in out of reality last night, I think
Post by: monkee on January 02, 2006, 02:47:31
I'm a bit of a skeptic when it comes to anything spiritual or religious, just to set things straight.
After NYE my sleep routine (if you can call it that) is out of whack and I end waking up at 3am and I'm not tired so i start surfing the net. I came across a reference to a book about something king Solomon, Ive heard the name king Solomon but that's it, so i search and find out its an old book on demons! ha ha strange.. but its old so I'm interested! I found the book on eBay and read the comments people made that's as far as i went. Incidentally i found this site by a thread in the Psychic Self Defense forum that mentioned that book.  Anyway on to the point!!

I was sort of sleepy, and very bored so i lay down and I'm thinking about nye night and i thought no stop going over stupid excrement.You know dwelling on the events of the night. I had my eyes closed but i was focusing on seeing images sort in my eyelids soft of, nothing vivid or anything. When i want to go to sleep usually i focus on the colour black and i doze off. Next time I'm standing in my room then i realise i can fly so i do and i kind of hover across my room (cool!). Then i look at my tv and i like shoot something out my hand at the tv and i go flying around the room and wake up. I'm like wtf that was a weird dream so i come back online and back to this site. I wont lie the more threads i read the less i believed it was a out of body experience and just a dream.

So I'm sorta in a strange place. I decided to lay back down on my bed and try again. I'm laying on my back with my hands by my side. So I'm once again in my room sort of dreaming soft of awake and i remember having an amazing time then waking up and realising I'm tripping or something. I remember thinking wow this is cool but i cant remember what i was doing. It was like i was having an awesome time and i wanted to check in to make sure i wasn't dreaming ALTHO in hindsight i could of still be dreaming?? but i distinctly remember blinking my eyes looking up thinking wow this is cool still sort of groggy and wanting to go back while i was still relaxed.


This is the part that kinda weirded me out. I'm laying on my back eyes closed then in an instant my eyes are open I'm looking straight up as if I'm wide awake and on my white ceiling there are black symbols being flicked very fast and i cant make them out. I was staring at the images i couldn't take my eyes of the flicking back symbols i was paralyzed for lack of a better word. I could see something like a shadow on my right holding my forearm i could feel the pressure. Whatever this was, demon or delusion it was speaking to me in something i couldn't understand. It didn't sound like french or anything more like short moans? I say speaking because of the different noises i heard. All the while this is happening I'm having this sensation as if I'm floating on bubbles and every nerve in my body is on edge. Okay I'm pretty freaked out (of course at the time i just want out) so i try to call out to God to save me (once again I'm not even religious) but i cant move my mouth I'm paralyzed looking at the ceiling. Then all of a sudden what felt like 2seconds later I'm awake.

I'm posting this in the hopes of someone with more knowledge then myself shedding some light

Have you heard of old hag syndrome? I think that's what it was. Sleep paralysis with hallucinations, basically. There's often the sense of another presence in the room during sleep paralysis but as long as you don't focus on it it tends to go away. Most people say it's a feedback loop between their astral and physical bodies sensing each other.. I just say it's a hallucination.
The first few times experiences like those will really creep you out.. But after a while you'll learn to control it and ignore unpleasant things. Absolutely no harm can come to you whether you see a spirit there or not.

Being a skeptic is a very good thing. I tend to be skeptical about most things too (although I've now accepted the idea of AP). It means your experiences are not influenced by religious or spiritual things you've heard or said, because they cannot easily become accepted beliefs in your subconscious, and it means that what you can do in AP is not limited to what you've heard other people say about it.

You must give people a chance to read and respond.  It's considered rude to demand an answer.  This is the first I'm seeing your thread.  :smile:

That aside it sounds like you had what almost everyone has when they start trying for conscious projection.  If you haven't already, may I suggest you have a lookies at our FAQ section.  http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=46

Do the best you can to ignore and focus on getting out of that room. :grin:  It's very important that you totally focus on ONE thing or you'll continue to have short projections due to your mind wandering.

Good luck and keep us updated!
