I've one experience that convinced me that out of body experiences are real, and I had a trippy interesting experience last night which has got me fascinated with the idea of astral projection. Anyhow, if this stuff is real then I have the impression that I have parasites latched onto me. I've been getting sleep paralysis for years, and I always feel things clinging onto me from behind, and feel the sensation of needles or something being injected into my spine, its not very painful but it feels like whatevers going on there on my back is not good. I always thought it was just hallucinations, but I have had a confirmed OBE years ago which made me open minded to paranormal things. If these are astral parasites, then how do I get rid of the things? I've had a problem with lethargy for years now, it would be very cool if I suddenly cured myself of that by getting rid of some kinda astral parasites attached to me. I've tried reaching behind me and grabbing things while I'm in sleep paralysis, it always feels like I'm grabbing some kinda small (about 3ft tall) bony creatures. I've tried strangling them, breaking their bones, biting them, I even gave one of them the nuggies, but they don't react at all.
When a dream starts, they're gone. I only feel them in sleep paralysis.
