One moment I was looking down from above and then the next I was inside my body again. So it was a bit of an inner body and outer body experience.
I recall people but am not sure what they were doing, and even if they had anything to do with me. As I was lying there all of a sudden I felt this huge amount of threatening power surge through my body and I was pinned to the floor, I could not move. I imagine it would be something like being electrocuted but it didn't hurt but I could feel that it was very powerful. I was filled with fear and woke up scared and fully freaked out.
I am a witch, so anything I say will probably be biased in regards to my personal religious (I hate that word…) views and customs. That said, I’ll move along.
The five-pointed star in a circle is called a pentacle (or pentagram, if you prefer). For some reason, it’s commonly regarded as a symbol associated with evil, the devil, and whatnot. Nothing could be further from the truth. To most of us, it represents love, trust, and protection. We also use it in spells of that genre and, while I can’t speak for all witches, every witch I know also uses candle(s) in their spells. There are, however, witches that use the pentacle to channel negative energies. Primarily you will see those turned upside-down. The inverted pentacle isn’t evil in and of itself, but represents an opposition to the positive. Yin and Yang, if you will.
Now, onto your dream: You mentioned that you had this dream a year ago, but if it’s still bothering you today, I’ll speak in present terms for now. A human being (you/your body) inside the pentacle surrounded by candles puts me in mind of a summoning ritual of some sort… That’s some strong imagery. I’m not sure how much you know of witchcraft and such but essentially a dream like you described makes me wonder if there may be some issue of control going on in your life. Is there someone who you feel/felt is trying to make you into something you’re not? Pushing you in a direction that you’re not sure you’d like to go (the threatening power)? Or perhaps you’re setting standards that are too high for yourself (the in-and-out-of-body experiences)? Do you remember where your head was laying on the star? Not that it matters, I suppose… obviously this was a negative incident for you regardless of the positioning of your body on the star.
Or I could be way off. This is only what first came to mind.
