Waking up w/ Kaleidoscope vision and different reality...

[Quark]

Ever since I can remember I seem to wake up in the middle of the night either paralyzed or seeing things.   In recent years though Ive noticed that I wake up and things don't seem to be as they should.  Its hard to describe but, I can still see the outline of my house and walls but thing are morphing and it kinda looks like a kaleidoscope.  I often see things moving around like shadows and sometimes I jump outta bed like a canon trying to see what it was.  Half the time I'm at the windows of the house staring outside for some reason.   Overall the feeling is that it just doesn't feel like I'm in normal time/reality anymore.

Recently it seems like this is happening every night.  For the first little while I was kinda scared by this and now its happening so often I'm getting used to it.  Lately I'm also hearing voices to tell me to look outside (weird =0) and overall it feels to me like someone is trying to tell me something.  I also get the overall impression that reality is changing somehow and all this is supposed to show me what its like!?  

I dunno what to make of it all.  I wish I could understand it better.  Maybe in time I will.  

Any opinions on these experiences would be helpful.

That sounds like a hypnopompic state, the border between dreaming and waking. If you learn to go into trance during that time, you'll be able to enter the astral fully conscious.

To be honest this may be RTZ, and i believe you could very easily Astral Project from this state if you want to.

Hey Quark,

I've experienced similar:

I've taken them to be a sleep paralysis / hypnogogic experience.

It sounds like you could possibly be in the astral already when having those experiences. In the astral it possible for objects to pass through one another. What you can try to do is push your hand through the wall or a nearby object, like a shelf. If it goes through it means you have unknowingly fallen asleep and ended up on the astral plane.
