Was this astral projection into... the spirit world?
Posted: Wed Apr 11, 2018 5:19 pm
Hello everyone,
So as I was listening to Akelta and Eilana's video on astral projection, I realized some of the things they said resonated with me... only thing is, I have not consciously done astral projection, but I had a very disturbing episode of atypical hypnagogia (the hallucinations that occur before you fall asleep, during Stage 1 stage as your alpha waves slow down). Now I'm thinking it's something else.
As I lay me down to sleep, I focused on a question I wanted answered by demons. What question? Well. I read a (ridiculous) article about demons being extraterrestrials (I picture Area 51-esque gray dudes) and I wanted to know if this was true. I was hoping desperately "no" because what is this, Scientology (t'is a joke, t'is a joke)? I lay flat on my back in bed and focused on this question but NOTE: I am so novice - I can't control my thoughts at all and at the time, I'd never even successfully meditated.
Shockingly quickly, the darkness behind my closed eyes became a dim purple hue and I realized everything was hazy but my back was suddenly no longer supported and I was just falling. Falling so fast I started to feel nauseous and my neck was under unbelievable pressure (like on a roller coaster). I willed myself to keep my eyes closed because I was curious. Then I saw a wispy (almost body-less) being with wings grab me and slow me down. Eventually I reached solid ground and the entity walked(?) into the darkness as if I was supposed to follow but I couldn't move my body. I could only moved my eyes and I saw what looked like metallic doors or panels or tapestries (something flat) on the walls of rock and I thought this meant yes, they're all ETs. I got violently upset and began just saying "No, no, no" and I tried to move away but, again, I couldn't move! I was stuck! Then a drop of water fell into the kitchen sink and startled me so badly (it was so loud!) that I started just panicking and then the surroundings changed and I saw disturbing creatures, barely humanoid, closing in. Among them, there was a man (I don't remember what he looked like) who gestured for me to go toward him and he said something but I was panicking so much all I heard was my heartbeat and my blood rushing in my ears so I couldn't hear. But he was smiling and led me through the area. Then suddenly, I jerked awake in bed following an epic hypnic jerk (legs jerking, tends to happen to people with irregular sleep schedules as they fall asleep). What struck me as odd about this hypnic jerk was my feet hit the bed vertically like falling and with SUCH force.
So. My heart rate's a bit elevated just thinking about what happened now, but would you guys say this was astral projection (not just dream projection; I tell you, I was not asleep!)? And if so, where do you think I went?
Thank you for reading!
Thank you in advance for any thoughts/insight you can provide!
