I am 16 years old and ever since I was a kid, I'd be sleeping in my bed. And maybe about in the middle of it, I'd wake up, and I could see spirits and people walking around in my room. I could talk to them. And they could talk to me. I would actually be interacting with them just as if they were real human beings. We'd sometimes walk around the house and talk about just whatever was on our minds. I know that I wasn't in my bed because everything was way too vivid to be a dream. I've heard from places that this is what is called an "Etheric Projection" but I would really like to know what causes all of this. it doesn't bother me in the least. But now I'm really getting interested in it. I guess it's because I thought everyone had this at least once or twice in their lives. I just want to know why I get this and what it means. Thank you...

youre luck, you have what might be a real gift. the important thing is to not get caught up with it. it's hard when you can do something like this and have almost no oone to talk to, and its tempting to look at cults and wicans and whattever, but i would stick to websites like this that portray fact and truth, not a reliogion. also try not to let it bother you that most people you meet will have different views of your gift. find someone who will listen to you, not stereotype. i don't want to sound preachy but i found out all this from (painful) experience.

Some people have the ability to enter another dimension of this reality and be able to perceive things that ordinary people cannot....We always had this sort of "gifted people", and we are supposed to use our gift to do good to other people....that is the purpose of the gift....If you like, there is some documentation of mine on the following address

We can all share our experiences and try to understand the mysteries of this life and grow together without mixing up religions and weird cults in order to find answers....
Peace and love to all

I had lots of these strange experiences for many years; at the beginning I thought I was getting crazy and I was afraid to fall asleep because I never knew when this sensation would come back. My body was completely paralized, I knew I was awake, but I could not get up! I had this terribly powerful feeling coming over me and taking possession of my body...it was an awfull straggle every time to fight it off! then, I got tired, and one day I decided, I was not going to fight this powerful feeling anymore...I let it go all the way....and after an apex of wisling sound in my head, electrical powerful shock of my extremities going towand my body, I found myself released and completely at peace....I could see my body laying on the bed, but I was experiencing another dimension of reality....I could perceive the all room, I was not trapped inside human body full of phisical and mental limitations, I was experiencing something fantastic....I could understand everything.....my mind had opened up completely....and it was sad when I had to go back in my body....I could feel the heaviness of the movements, my body weight, I could feel the limitation of my body and my mind, I felt like if I was trapped in a very small cage that did not allow me anymore to feel the kind of freedom and peace I had experienced while I was out....So, I stopped being frightened, and I even welcomed these events...they lasted many years....but the less afraid I was, the less frequent they would become....Then, I found out something I could do while in this kind of state, (I cannot mention this thing....) but I think I had an opportunity to access to some sort of spiritual connection and universal connection, but I wasted it for some foolish experiments of mine....I could have developed my potential in a different direction, and mayby I could have helped a lot of people...but I believe that when you misuse this kind of thing, it slowly goes away....If a gift is given to you and it is not used for what is ment for, it is going to become atrophied....for exemple, I had the gift of being an artist, but I never used that gift, and now, I can't even hold a pencil....The excellent potential was there, but was never used....so I believe it happend the same with these profound experiences I had....but I was able to access to a lot of information while under the effect of the connection to the rest of the universe...some of my questions were unswered, and I understood a lot of things...I hope someday I will be able to share them with other people....Another thing that made my experiences less frequent, was the fact of finding a rational unswers; I realized that there were some sleep disturbances that were causing the body to remain asleep while the mind was waking up! In that case you are partial awake! You can see the dreams becoming reality just inside your room...the dream overlaps reality simultaneously and the dreams became vivid! You can see the room, you can hear voices, you can see immages....while your body is still under the influence of the sleep and cannot move....It can be a very frightning experience because it feels real! Just like when people get ipnotized! The fantasy takes over the reality and you actually can experiece it like if it is real!!!....I know many times I had that kind of sleep disturbances, but I am also aware that many times I had OOB experieces....and sometimes you may go from an OOB to the sleep disturbances withouth even being aware of it....I noticed that 90 per cent of the times I had them, I was under a lot of mental stress, and after and experience of OOB I would feel completely richarged, but with the sleep disturbances, I did not have the same refreshing feeling....I believe that sometimes fear, frustration, worries, sometimes in a dream, can take the form of a negative presences.....we have not idea what our brain can come up with when it sleeps! If you are afraid of something, your mind can transfrom it into evil presence! But the beauty of it is that nothing can hurt you in your sleep. No matter how terrible your dream or nightmare was, it is not reality! Dreams cannot hurt you! Reality can! Gosts do not have the power to hurt you, people can! I know in my heart I am a good person, I know I do no harm, I know I have peace in my heart, and I know all the love I have inside me will always protect me and will always show me the right way to go....I just have to remember to ask for help from the bottom of my heart. No matter what happen in my dreams, in my life, I feel if I do ask for protection, I always have it, as long as I do not contaminate my soul with the poison of hate, selfishess, evil feelings etc....I wonder how many people have the same kind of experieces but are afraid to talk about them.....
