New here :)

Hi all,

I am new here and I am hoping someone can shed some light on an experience I have had the last couple of nights whilst sleeping :)

I have held an interest in astral projection for many years now however have never really had any success with it.  For the most part of my attempts, I would simply just end up falling asleep. 

Recently I started to take St John's Wort for anxiety and every night since I started taking it, I have had the same unusual experience.  I become suddenly aware that I am asleep/dreaming however if I am dreaming I am never able to recall what I am dreaming about.  The only recollection I have is of the experience that occurs once I "become aware" and this experience feels very, very real.   

Immediately after I become aware, I can suddenly see and feel my arm and hand out in front of me.  I then become aware that I am not alone, someone else is taking my hand but I cannot see them, only their arm and their hand taking hold of mine. They then try to pull me upwards and towards them with an extremely strong tugging motion which I can feel all over my body. I suddenly realise that they're not physically trying to sit me up or whatever.  It feels more like they are trying to pull me out of my physical self.  The instant that I realise this, I find myself letting go of their hand in a panic, they seem to make an attempt to grab back hold of my hand but I dodge it and/or push them away.  The feeling of being tugged upwards changes to a feeling of falling back towards the bed and I immediately wake up properly.

Has anyone else experienced anything like this?  Can anyone explain what or why this is actually happening?

Welcome to our forum willow!

Congratulations in falling in astral plane, You reached around 95% of it or maybe even more

And yes sometimes it happens, Sometimes its your spirit guide. And sometimes its your thoughs and imagination! There is even a technique to exit your body using exactly what happened to you! They imagine someone pulls their hand and remove you from your physical body, this way you can simply come out, but some people also have negative thoughs saying that what pulled them was a demon and they end up into a very unreal situation :)

Thats all what i got anyways :), we also would like to tell you that we never reply to posts that we dont know the answer :)

Safe travels and enjoy staying!
