Something New!

[phxsun]

So I'm watching TV in bed and apparently I started to fall asleep. Now I don't if I was actually asleep or not, but I think I was dreaming when I could see someone standing by my door, but I could not really see them, I just new they were there like an energy. Then all of a sudden the energy came at me and appeared to go through me. I woke up instantly gasping for air. I was not surprised by this and was just wondering what your thoughts were on this???

They say when you get chills down your spine a ghost walked through you. Apparently the case I'd say you probably were dreaming but if you were gasping for air then that means it affected the physical. I dont know how to explain but when i had a dream of having a romancting evening with my lady feeding each other strawberrys i actually woke up not long after that and had the fresh feeling of taste and scent of strawberrys in my lips and mouth instead of morning breath. Not sure how this happens but you have strong spiritual potential imo

It could be that you had astral awareness at that moment. So you were in the astral but stil in your physical body. That might have also been the reason that you could see and feel that energy. And the astral awareness ended when you woke up. I had a similar experience this morning, someone gave me a hug (not in the physical) and it woke me up immediately.

Just going to add my guess:
I think you were in trance while watching TV, and became conscious just as you reintegrated with your own energy body.

Thank you all. Very interesting reading.

Hi phxsun
Sounds like the Dweller on the Threshold to me. You know, in that in between sleep and awake state (= body asleep/ mind awake) you become astrally aware and spot some type of discarnate entity lurking nearby. It is common for many people. The down side is that the shock of seeing someone else in the room prevents most people from trying to separate into an OBE.

I "awake" at night quite often to seeing "people" and "things".
It's a commonly reported occurrence.
