Thread: No longer a dream!

Spooky. Before I can answer you though I need clarification on two things:
"I've been dragged out of bed on multiple occasions now, sleeping or not."

What do you mean by "sleeping or not"? Do you mean to say you have been dragged out of bed while awake? If so by what?

"moving objects around when the lights are off"

How do you know objects moved, and how do you know it was him?

I have been dragged out of bed whilst awake, and by nothing. There wasn't anything there, but i could feel hands clamped on my ankles. The next morning there has been evidence of bruising :<

My mom saw the objects moving, and she doesnt know exactly if it was him or not. That's one of the problems. At first she was sure it was him, but not so much anymore. Her spirit guide isnt as powerful as Elias to pull things off like this.

(more context: my mother is a reiki master)

Have you changed your name since then Atcha? Your activity only shows these 2 posts.
Just thought I'd look up your previous posts about your dream guide...

no i havent changed my name, you should be able to see the posts

Are you absolutely sure his has happened? I mean 100% sure. If so, I don't really know what to say. I believe solely in logic, and through extensive thought I have concluded that supernatural things are certainly possible although there is no definitive evidence. However, if supernatural things do exist, it changes everything. That invalidates what we thought was true about physics, which in turn effects thermodynamics and newton's laws, which in turn effects just about everything in the physical world. Which would mean what we think about the way everything works would be or could be wrong. That means you can't really be sure of anything. So as far as a spiritual approach, I'd say it is very unlikely you will find the right thing to do. This is why I don't recommend seeing a spiritualist or something.

However, good logic is always useful. Solve this like a mystery. Find Elias in your dream. This may be difficult so you must investigate your mind by thoroughly questioning DC's and looking for clues. In a lucid dream your subconscious manifests itself so it shouldn't be so hard. If you find him, he should be able to tell you what is going on. If not, continue to investigate in a thorough and logical manner. Of course, this might not be supernatural at all. You must consider all possibilities. If it isn't supernatural, I would recommend getting a trustworthy friend to help you because it is quite an odd situation.

That is all the advice I can give.

Atcha, you should definately buy a copy of Robert Bruce's "Practical Psychic Self Defense". It's the only book you will need in regards to dealing with this kind of stuff and the only book I would ever recommend to anyone since Robert Bruce is 100% the real deal, practical and speaks from experience. Also he's a master of the OBE realm and experiences.

A tip you can implement right away from this book which is extremely, extremely effective (trust me I've used it) is to get hold of some garlic, chop up the garlic and put the chopped up garlic at the foot of your bed. In the out of body realm, physical smells are amplified and the scent of sulphur and garlic especially is very strong and wards off negative entities. Just make sure you chop/crush the garlic to expose the smell because it's the smell which is what makes it work.

Negative entities will almost always first attach themselves to the feet which is the number one entry point of the lower astral levels. If you rub garlic oil on your feet before bed or wear socks with crushed garlic then that will also help massively.

Also, here is a video by E.A. Koetting about dealing with negative entities (just be aware that he's neither positive or negative, he walks the middle path but he is another person with legit power):

Dude I'm sorry but this just sounds bogus. Garlic warding off monsters? That is how you ward off vampires, which definitely aren't real. I pose this question to you: if there are demons and "astral negative entities", why have I never, not once in my life seen or experienced one in any way? They pose no threat to me or anyone I know. I feel like if they were real people would know about them. A common counter-argument to this is that people who don't believe in such things are blinded to the astral plane and supernatural phenomena, but if this is true, could she not just mentally and subconsciously deny all existence of supernatural beings and they would not bother her anymore?

You can't really understand unless you've experienced it first-hand but I can assure you it's very real, I grew up around this phenomena since a young child since our house was haunted and have experienced thousands of instances of phenomena from the age of 3 so it's pretty normal for me.

Although I generally think it's futile to debate these things if you haven't experienced it, I'll address a couple of your points:

The garlic actually works very well and is one of the most effective ways to stop negative entity harassment. The folklore of it warding off vampires does actually come from it's use for such purposes but the misconception is you just have the garlic somewhere without crushing it as it's actually the smell which does the work. Also, vampires are an analogy for astral entities which feed off your energy, not your blood.

Many people experience supernatural phenemonon and entities and it's quite a widely experienced thing but usually only in people who are sensitive to the phenomena. I'd guess as much as 5% of people have experienced astral entity related phenomena knowingly. I could give you practices which if you promise to practice every day for at least a month will result in the high likelyhood of you experiencing astral phenomenon including astral entities. If anything you will experience energetic and spiritual phenomenon. PM me if you're interested.

As for denying the existence of astral entities as a countermeasure, there is a nugget of usefulness there. In general you don't want to emit fear since they feed off that energy so if you occupy yourself with other things and try not to think of it too much it will help to an extent but it's not a cure. For example in addition to non-believing adults there have been many instances of babies being under the influence of astral entities when they have no knowledge or belief of them.

P.S. Check out http://www.skeptiko.com if you're interested in the science and research into astral related phenomenon, there's tonnes of material there. Also, Professor Dean Radin's google tech talk on "Science and the Taboo of Psi" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qw_O9Qiwqew
... those will help answer your questions.

I don't have a problem with people who believe in all this stuff, but I find it a bit sad, because in virtually all cases they are just "un-enlightened".
Worse is when people take advantage of this naivety.
The problem is in order to understand things, you have to be able to find the truth from all the bunkum.
Although science gets a poor press at times, the central core value is about truth, and truth at any cost, including dismantling of old "truths".
However, it has to be done with rigour, or else you can be fooled by pseudo-science.

Contrary to what most people think, science is a kind of religion. True science is about theory, prediction, measurement, proof, but it also relies on a belief that previous science is also probably the truth.
An individual cannot start from scratch and learn everthing about science, we have to "stand on the shoulders of giants" to realise the next truths from previous ones.

A great deal of the "supernatural" occurances can be explained away, sometimes with very recent discoveries.
People on this site should not be surprised at this.
Our brain has a model of the universe that is very easily tricked or misled, and we can swear blind that what we are experiencing is "real".
In many senses it is real.
Garlic will work to ward off "real" (dream) demons if you believe it.

As to the more rational explanations of supernatural events, take the latest findings just last week about how scientists have been able to create the feeling of a presence in the room. It's a bit like the mind being fooled that the senses we receive are actually displaced from the body and so seem to be coming from another body.

Take the discovery that infrasonics (very low frequency sound waves) can set up standing waves that give the feeling of a ghostly presence.

I'm not saying that ALL supernatural occurances must be false - that is not the true scientific way either (although some scientists do have rather closed minds), but we also need to be wary of the charlatans out there.
James Randi is the ultimate skeptic. He still has $1M available to anyone who can prove a supernatural effect.
The Million Dollar Challenge - JREF

If your answer is "I can't prove it, but I know it's real", change that to "I believe it's real". If that's what you want, fine, but you are in danger of building a castle on sand with that approach.

Another "supernatural" effect is that of placebo.
The mind is quite capable of creating real symptoms on the basis of suggestion.

An explanation for real symptoms could be a form of somnabulism (sleepwalking), where marks or bruises could be as the result of real impact damage, in a dream by some entity, but for real by some other means.

I like to try and keep an open mind that there is PROBABLY a more rational explanation for things, but also that there MIGHT be something new and undiscovered going on.

I like to call it "gentle skeptisism".

Yes, I've come across this viewpoint a lot as it's quite common. There's actually a lot of research into this stuff but it doesn't fit the current paradigm so it's much easier to either not be exposed to it or just brush it off without actually looking into it. Professor Dean Radin covers this very well going over why it's taboo and not mainstream and goes over the research in that Google Tech Talk video I posted.

Psi phenomena has been proven to exist with more statistical significance than the efficacy most clinical drugs. He goes into that. He covers the Million Dollar Challenge as well.

Watch the link I posted "Science and the Taboo of Psi" with Professor Dean Radin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qw_O9Qiwqew (Make sure you also watch the questions at the end where he addresses several questions including the James Randi million dollar challenge)

After watching that I'd be interested in any specific points you have regarding the research. It's a must watch if you're even vaguely interested in this stuff or you want to have a more informed opinion.

Also another link I posted is http://www.skeptiko.com . I recommend checking that out. Alex Tskaris interviews leading researchers into the paranormal as well as skeptical leading scientists. There's a lot of good interviews in there but it takes some digging around. He actually interviews professor Dean Radin on there and many others. I've listened to many interviews with skeptical scientists so I'm quite well versed with the mentality... almost always they have never actually looked into the research despite Alex Tskaris sending it to them prior to the interview, so they have nothing tangible to say. Instead they will talk generalisations which fundamentally boil down to "it doesn't fit in with the current paradigm so it's impossible".

If you've ever seen a creationist argue with a scientist, you'll see that the creationist has nothing tangible to say. It's just generalisations without pointing out any valid specific flaws in the actual evidence or research. It can be quite frustrating as they have blindfolds on to actually looking at the science. Ironically, this is actually the same dynamic with materialists faced with paranormal scientific research. They effectively behave in the same way as the creationists do in a debate but instead use different language. But you have to watch the interviews to really see this in action. I do find it fascinating though.

Once you are actually familiar with the actual research and work into the paranormal then I'd be very keen to have a chat about the actual research such as potential flaws in the experimental design or whatever (note though these studies have been done since the 1920's with ongoing criticism so the designs tend to be tighter than a duck's asshole).

Either this is an attempt at a creepypasta or you need to go see a psychiatrist about exhibiting the positive symptoms of schizophrenia.

Also, HoldorFold, there is a difference between believing in psi phenomena and believing in bullshit. I very recently opened myself up to realize that pis phenomena are most likely real, but how in the fuck would garlic ward off a monster? I'll admit I haven't watched the video, but please explain to me how this is supposed to work. There are definitely people out there looking to sucker you into believing something fake, and a lot of time they even believe the fake shit that they spread. Have you ever read of the Scole experiments? Those appear to me to be legitimate paranormal phenomena that are occurring. Any old psychic walking down the street telling me to bathe in dog shit in order to fend off demons without some sort of evidence supporting the claim is going to get written off as a fake and for good reason, because they are faking.

The Google Tech Talk video I posted is research into psi, it doesn't really have anything to do with the garlic countermeasure.

The garlic countermeasure was re-discovered by Robert Bruce, the author of Astral Dynamics. He's very respected for his detailed experience and work in the areas of OBE's and astral travel. I've read his book Astral Dynamics and have managed to have several OBE's from his techniques as have many others. You may have heard of the "rope technique" to induce an out of body experience. Robert Bruce created that.

He's a really good guy, to think that anyone would think he's a con-man is insane because he provides so much free stuff and he's never even charged for healings which he does off his own back for years. He's one of the most genuine guys I have ever come across with a really good heart. And that aside, you just have to try the techniques from his material yourself and you are having serious experiences within a few days...

Anyway, here's an interview with him, he mentions psychic self defense further into the interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWgbFcB5180

Here's an excerpt from his book "Practical Psychic Self Defense" about the garlic method.

And about the garlic method on his site

* Also, I think I already mentioned that I tried this method several times and it worked for me. I've also read many reports of it working for other people on other forums.

Speaking of folklore and supernatural phenomena, there is a girl I know who grew up in India. The place she lived in had a long history of ghosts, demons, etc. It was common practice to hang lemons by one's doorstep because it was said that when an evil spirit is nearby lemons turn red. There was a certain tree that everyone was told not to go near, because there was more than one instance of the tree causing deaths. The one I know is that two kids who played by it hung themselves from the branches. This girl's grandmother stayed at the temple after everyone left to pray. When she came back, she took a basket of lemons with her. It was almost dark, and she was walking by the tree when she tripped over a root, and she said that when she got up, all the lemons were red. Quite soon after, she started acting very strangely and eventually started scratching her skin apart. Her family got an exorcist, and things more or less returned to normal but it was never the same again.

I heard this story second-hand (from another person who knows her) and I never remembered to ask her personally, and I don't know what to make of it. It certainly sounds cool though.



EDIT: We are getting rather off-topic, let's steer the conversation back to the original post.

Interesting re: lemons in India. I've heard they are used in "puja" which is something they use to ward of demons / astral entities. Again, it would most likely be the smell dynamic same as the garlic. I've never heard about them turning red though, that's new to me (I'm pretty sure if I had lemons during an astral entity attack they wouldn't turn red, but it could be for really extreme cases? Not sure).

There's various 'puja' you can make. Robert Bruce says the most effective way of clearing a house would be to fumigate it with sulphur but you have to know what you're doing because it's poisonous. The next best way is to make a 'puja' of dry garlic and chillies and burn it until it smokes and it clears the house of astral entities. He got taught this method from a Hindu shaman. Again you have to be careful with this method because it gets in your lungs and makes you cough like nothing else and is highly irritating to the eyes.

Personally from experience, crushed garlic at the foot of the bed worked better for me than fumigating the house and it's 10x easier to pull off but I'd imagine in many cases fumigation is better.

Sorry HoldorFold, interviews are all very well, but they mean nothing in science. To be swayed I need to see peer reviewed papers with test results from double-blind trials.
But there in lies a problem. Who has the time to read all that, and understand it?
So even for scientific truth it often comes down to belief. Belief that the science is robust. But who do you believe?
The only way is to have trust in people and organisations that have a track record for robust science.
They may not be completely right all of the time, but that has to be better than just believing someones word who has no track record of good science.

lol, this is amazing... albeit very textbook. Forget the interviews, that was just something interesting I threw in there. Funny how you focused on that.

Watch Professor Dean Radin's Google Tech talk... here's the link again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qw_O9Qiwqew

He goes over all the research and statistical analysis which is mostly going over other people's peer reviewed research including skeptic replication of the experiments.

There's no point in discussing anything further if you can't even watch that talk which goes over everything academically and in excellent detail.

I've been dragged out of bed on multiple occasions now, sleeping or not.

Your explanation doesn't sound very credible at all. I recommened you to have a friend stay over ( if it's very common) or have a video camara, monitoring your movements and see if you're dragged out of your bed.

"so he wasn't too scared" I doubt he'll feel less scared with any explanation you give to him.

A dream guide would definitely NOT do that, nor they have a way to affect the physical realm in that manner.

I see two things could be happening.

1. You are atributting what's happening to your dream guide, when your mothers home is haunted or something... or something latched on two both of you.

2. You have schizophrenia running in your family, so both things you and your mother say fuel each other imagination and you twist things in a special way.

Tell her boyfriend to register on dreamviews to have another opinion on this matter.

Make sure you're sane first and speak with a phsychologist and/or phsychiatrist.

HoldorFold, this is not about your agenda and skeptics don't debate back to him, lets try to help Atcha here.

Ok, not sure what you mean by my agenda.

Anyway, if the OP is being dragged out of bed and given bruises on her legs by astral entities then garlic and fumigation are the best routes along with sleeping with a grounding cord (a copper wire wrapped around the ankle and then touching an earthed point e.g. copper water pipes of a radiator would do).

If the OP is delusional and is not being dragged out of bed with bruises and such then she should try grounding herself, e.g. vigorous physical exercise with a focus on the lower body i.e. squats, deadlifts etc. and qigong horse stance, focusing on the feet etc. and void meditation on emptiness to gain control over her mind (Eckhart Tolle is a good person to watch for this).

To be fair the grounding exercises should be done even if she's not delusional as they would also help.

I would not see a psychiatrist until proper procedures have been done first (set up cameras, investigated with friends etc.). This is because it will make the situation un-necessarily complicated in the event that there is not a complicated situation. The last place you want to end up is an insane asylum.

Ya know, sometimes what one may think is a dream guide is just the dreamers true self. Perhaps you do not really need your " Dream Guide" anymore and your psyche is letting you know it.

Going with a camera is the best plan,

Maybe you are sleep walking or something, finding your self out of bed (dragging yourself out of bed) finding things moved around.

As for Garlic it does work to ward off aphids, makes a great companion plant, but then so do onions or any other plant
that spews out Organosulphur compounds.

Dreams occur entirely in your brain, they are all imagination and limited only by it, if they were real, they would have rules and
such and be pretty lame.

Looks like you have had 50X as many lucid dreams as I have, I don't have a dream guide, but I doubt I'll be haunted by one
(unless she is hauntingly beautiful or something

"Puja" is the Sanskrit word for "worship." If you are making a "puja" out of garlic and chillies, then you are offering these things in homage to the spirits. I'm only pointing this out because words do matter.

I think the dream guide is only a facet of the self, as is most of the reality you experience. The kadie I experience and the kadie you are happen to be very similar in the actions they regularly make and the words they regularly speak, the feelings they say they often feel, etc. However, I am the one that feel's my kadie's emotions, has the experiences I imagine kadie to have gone through, etc. The dream guide, therefore, is only a facet of you, why would you view any fragment as the whole?

Same goes with the realization that if the universe is mental, we are all God. Semantics become important here, though. Even if I have many of "God's" powers and abilities, I am not God, God is me. I am but a sliver, a fragment of the whole, and even if my sliver is the closest to the whole thing in similarity, I will never be the whole.
