I have meditated for some years, and also done some dream yoga practice... after a while I started to have visionary experiences, not in the dream state, but often in the just-falling-into sleep state... some have hit me just in the middle of the day, while walking around. Some have been beautiful, others frightening.

A real scary one I had, I was living in a house way out in the isolated countryside near Winchester, VA... I was walking through the hallway and I just had this flash, where for much less than a second, it was like I was in another reality. My viewpoint was I would hazard a guess somewhere between half a mile to a mile above an ocean, and I was looking down. There was a black octopus in the water, and I would imagine it was somewhere in the neighborhood of a mile across, maybe more, a physical impossibility, but it was real as hell, and radiated intense malevolence. It was an all-encompassing vision, like I was there. Then back in the hallway, really shaken.

Another waking one was seeing a buddhist deity, and that was beautiful. Also just a flash...

When falling asleep, I have seen beings that suddenly appear in my visual field, and there is always an intense shock, like a physical sensation of electricity, often as our eyes meet. One of the coolest ones, I saw this woman, who suddenly turned to look at me, and she had this look of pleased surprise, the feeling was like, "hey, this dude sees me! How cool is that!" and as she turned her face to me fully, light reflected off her glasses, and she vanished in a flash of light.

In my own mind, I am convinced that I am seeing real things (how much does that matter, anyway?)... I would be very interested to know if others have had similar experiences, and what they were like.

What you have described is almost exactly like the experiences I have. I have the ability to lucid dream and will often come into contact with entities when lucid dreaming. I have also started meditating regularly and, when I reach a state of stillness, I have visions much like in my lucid dream encounters.

As I am falling asleep at night entities and visions will appear. Last night a formless energy blob drifted through my minds eye as I fell asleep.

Recently a figure of a man who looked like the classic image of Jesus appeared next to my bed and asked " Are you and your family ready?"

Once a figure of a grinning person without skin appeared next to my bed looking right into my face. I could see all the muscles in their face.

Last month my grandfather died and on the third night after his death he appeared in my dream. He was younger than he was when he died. His body appeared to be made of luminous peach colored energy and had a very soft quality like a newborn baby. He gave me a hug and sat with me for a while. I was completely lucid and aware that I was dreaming and that this was his spirit visiting me on his way out. I asked him if he planned to reincarnate but he didn't want to answer that question. He then went on to give me a warning. He said to watch the magnetic field around the Earth indicating that something may be wrong, and that time was short. He then faded away.

Sometimes I wake up from a deep sleep and see a hourglass shaped mass of luminous fibers that is suspended in a web of other luminous fibers. It is accompanied with a momentary feeling of oneness and a rush of knowledge but it is incomprehensible and fades away.

I have these experiences regularly and I will be posting more of my dream experiences in this dream blog. They have become more and more intense lately. Read my post, Dream Visitors. It will relate to you more of what I am experiencing. I would love to hear your feedback even if you think me to be crazy.

Cheers,

Jeremy
