First Post - An experience I cannot classify
Hi all. I found this board searching for a community that discusses dreams, Astral projection, etc., and am glad I came across this one.
I am seeking guidance on one of several weird experiences I have had in the last year, dream-wise.
Several months ago, I woke up at 1:30am in strong sleep paralysis (have never had this before in my life, but knew what it was because my roommate experiences it quite frequently). At first I realize this, then notice a dark figure shadowing and hanging in the corner of my room over my shoulder (I was laying on my side. I could only make out its distortions but could feel its presence). Thereafter, the thing seemed to focus on me more and more, and whispers from it began to progressively get louder and louder with words I didn't understand in my ear. The door to my left began shaking and banging violently as if something was trying to get in. It all grew faster and more profound until it stopped out of nowhere and I rose out of the experience.
This was a time in my life when I was strongly rooted in love, for myself and others, and had an inner peace and energy that I have never had before. When this happened I was terrified, but knew that it was a product of fear and so stayed strong until it went away.
Other than what I have talked about, I know nothing else about this experience. Information and/or relevant experiences would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
