Hi...
I haven't had this sensation in a while.. but a couple years ago something strange happened to me. I had a fan on, it was dark and I was sleeping, I woke up for no reason really and looked around and laid back down to fall asleep. This is where it gets strange.
I am in deep thought, just thinking of many random things about life. If I remember clearly, I was a month or two pregnant at the time. I was also playing with ouija boards every day. I began feeling something very heavy over my body (i've learned it was just sleep paralysis) and i couldnt move and in my mind i was panicking. Eventually I couldn't notice the heaviness feeling anymore. instead I felt..weird. maybe even light.
I started hearing weird static noises in my head or my ears, I'm not sure which. It made me panic even more.. I just kept thinking wake up wake up.
and eventually I did, I woke up with a startle and i opened my eyes. and it wasnt silent because my fan was still on. but the static noises almost matched the same pitch as the fan so I thought, maybe I was having a weird dream from hearing the fan?
I looked this up and I learned about out of body experiences/astral projection
I kept looking more and more into it. I thought it was so amazing all the things I've learned... I haven't thought about it for a while until lately i've been going through sleep paralysis a lot if I find myself falling asleep on my back. So I am afraid to sleep on my back now. but part of me also wants to experience a real astral projection all the way but I'm afraid I'll be super scared. and I hear if you're scared during one you'll attract bad things that want to hurt you or something
I need help because the past few weeks, I've become interested in spiritualism and psychic stuff and I can't talk to anyone I know about this stuff because when I told my mom about me almost having an out of body experience she called a doctor and I was almost put into a mental hospital.
The society seems to close out things like this but i truly believe in it all. I want to get in touch with my higher self and see the world through astral projection but it's also a great fear of mine,
sure the symptoms or steps to having an experience is pretty scary but what about when it actually happens? Does the scariness go away? I was overwhelmed.. it wasn't all in my head and it was real. I know this.
What are your thoughts? I have a strong desire to make friends with people who understand what I'm going through. and I keep psyching my self out by researching all day every day about this..
Thank you for reading all of this :)
**oh by the way.. I lucid dream ALL THE TIME so if that has anything to do with this, any way it can help or whatever, let me know
