Dream visitors

For some time now I have been practicing the art of lucid dreaming. For those of you who do not know what this is it is becoming conscious and aware just as you are in your waking life in your dream. While lucid dreaming you can explore the dream-scape just as you would in normal consciousness except the laws are slightly different...You can often fly or float and you can move by taking great bounding leaps. The scenery is vibrant, colorful and has a luminescent quality. It can also morph dramatically from one moment to the next. You may be in one place in one instant then find yourself in a totally different seemingly unconnected setting in the next. My dreams often change from night to day from instant to instant. There is often a lot of symbolism. I always remain myself when I lucid dream.

A object may attract my attention as being of a very unusual quality and stands out in the dream-state as if it is out of place and does not belong. It can be anything, a toilet or vase or a doorway. Often it is some sort of portal. The object will begin to vibrate quickly and I will witness the dream-scape around the object ripple and pulse as if alive. I will often feel a magnetic pull and hear a tearing sound or a sonic boom. This is where the dream visitor part comes in...

Often I will see the visitor or ghost pushing itself through the dream-scape as if stretching spandex fabric around the point where it is entering. The entities may also just appear or I will become aware of them being in the dream with me. The entities may or may not communicate. Often they claim to be people who are deceased or appear as extraterrestrials. Sometimes The entity has no real form but appears as rainbow hued multi-armed energy. Sometimes they look like human sized energy jellyfish. The feeling that I get from the entities is usually benign and friendly. Once and a while I will get a very uncomfortable feeling accompanied with them, as if it is just too intense. I seldom sense negative feelings. But I have encountered a few nasty things. Recently beings which claimed to be extraterrestrials contacted me. I will post that dream and what they said soon. Some of which I will share in more posts that I will make. I suppose these experiences could just be my subconscious mind playing with me but from doing some study into the phenomenon of lucid dreams I don't think this is always the case...

Those of you who are familiar with Toltec knowledge, like the stories of Carlos Castinada and others in that lineage, are aware of the use of dreaming to gain knowledge and communicate with spirits and guardians. Dreaming is a common and accepted practice in all shamanic culture, Just as accepted as using hallucinogenic plants for divination and self discovery. Dreams play an important if not central role in the visionary experiences of almost every culture. So my tendency, especially since they occur in lucid dreams, is to take these experiences seriously.

I have started practicing meditation recently and a similar experience occurs which is like lucid dreaming. I get to a place of stillness and I see swirling pulsing colorful energy of some sort. If I concentrate on these colors I have the sensation of expanding and filling the room. Then scenery will appear much like a dream and I may see a person, or demon like creature. The vision may speak often in a garbled language that sounds like gibberish. Sometimes I can understand but it is often just a phrase. I cant hold the vision for very long and it will dissipate. These dreams and visions have been coming more and more often, but here is the very, very weird part of this story, I am now experiencing these entities in my waking life when I am not trying.

Around Thanksgiving last year I was visited by some kind of luminous orbs that I have been able to film with my digital video camera. They look just like the things in all the orb vids that people post on Youtube. They seem to react when spoken to and are always present. If I turn my camera on and start filming in my home they pop right in just as if they want me to film them.

This was accompanied by another phenomenon which may have a medical explanation( I am going to see an eye doctor) but I think it may be connected to my dreams somehow. Its almost as if I am seeing two worlds this one and one superimpose over it. If that makes any sense. Its like my inner world is projecting itself out into this waking world in a visual way. I often see a fluctuating energy field of some sort that has a checkerboard fractal quality that seems to terminate in the center of my field of vision. I appears to be the same strange portal effect that happens in my dreams when the visitors come. It is also accompanied by orb like phenomenon. I see various shaped orbs that are translucent and have nucleus like structure. Some are linked together like translucent worms that change shape and morph as I look at them. Sometimes a group of them appear and move as if it is one thing. Some of them always appear the same and are recognizable as individuals. They have a non-local effect which means that they seem to not pay attention to time or space. They appear as if they are floating far away and the size of pumpkins but as I follow them with my eye they become closer and smaller until they are almost microscopic. Its looks like I am projecting them. The entities in my dreams often have eyes that are the same as these orbs. If I look intensely at the sky and concentrate on the space around the objects I start to see another layer of activity that appears to look like the phenomenon that I have filmed in my cabin. Often when I am laying in bed at night a undulating grayish mist envelops me and causes my body to have sensations like mild electric tingling. It is like getting a chill or goose bumps. I have sensations as if something is lightly tapping my face accompanied with a flash out of the corner of my eye.

I guess there may be a lesson to all of this. Be careful what you ask for. I am investigating this phenomenon and am curious if anyone out there is seeing anything like this. I will be posting my videos and photos with the orbs in them for you to investigate.

Although these experiences may sound rather disturbing I am not really frightened. My belief is that negativity feeds on fear so I keep a positive sense of wonder about all these experiences. so far nothing too scary has poked me. Also if the spirit world is real, and I know that it is, it is all around us at all times. In fact we are in it, most of us just cant see it. So my rational is that there is not much I can do beyond protect myself with positive intentions now that I have opened up to it.

thanks for reading, I would love to hear your feedback and advice.
