First, I need to say that I am a very creative person, being involved professionally in many art forms and am constantly looking for new perspectives. It is my main source of spirituality. So when I say that I've had paranormal experiences, one might think that my imagination has something to do with it. Not so. When it comes to the dark forces or other forms of spirituality, I am very logical and do not overreact.
Since I was young, I've had all of the classic symptoms of Sleep Paralysis: Obviously paralysis, the feeling of something horrible in the room, shortness of breath, or a heavy sensation on my chest (other than my endowments). There is one exception, however. Preceding the "attacks" all of the hair on my arms and neck stand straight up, and I can then feel a heavy sensation closing in... One of my most recent "attacks" involved a heavy, thick, hot, fluid-like presence pouring into my head and washing down the entire length of my body. It stayed seemingly forever, then "washed" out through my feet. My body never felt so much like a vessel, if that makes any sense. I felt as if my body were a shell at the time. Afterward, I told whatever was doing this (I have reason to believe this is more than brain hormones) to knock it off, it was getting irritating. Nothing happened.
Before I was married, I lived in an apartment with SP continuing. I awoke very thirsty, so I walked through he darkened rooms to the kitchen where I poured a large glass of soda. I took it back to my room, and as soon as I entered, the glass flew across the room and bounced off the opposing wall, spilling the contents. I thought maybe the glass (plastic) had some condensation on it, maybe I had squeezed it too hard, and it flew across the room. I cleaned up the mess, and went back to the kitchen for another soda. The same thing happened as I entered my room. I raised an eyebrow, cleaned up the mess, and went to bed, determined that whatever it was wouldn't get a rise from me. I tried to reproduce the same thing the next morning, and no test came close to what happened the previous night. Other than the SP, nothing else happened in that apartment.
In my latest house, I woke up, needing to use the bathroom, and I didn't bother closing the door. Very suddenly, something or someone unseen and familiar, literally turned my head, and said with words my mind could hear, "IT'S RIGHT THERE!", and pointed (I can't explain how I know they were pointing) and the direction was just on the threshold of the bathroom, and for some reason, I knew that there was a nasty spirit-thing, about 2-3 feet high standing there, watching (Possibly this same voice also saved me from taking a nasty fall when I was 8 months pregnant, physically moving my hands so I could catch myself when walking in the house at night.).
There is also something else worth mentioning. Ever since I was young, I've had this feeling, like we (as people) are on the verge of something, something big, and I've had a feeling of incredible strength and courage with me. Lately, the feeling is so immense, I can hardly contain it. It almost hurts, and I'm wondering if anyone has felt something similar?
There is more I can write, but I think you get the idea. My question to all of this is, is there meaning to all of this? Did we do anything to anger certain forces? Are they curious? Are we destined for certain things in this life which threaten certain forces? And why do so many paranormal things happen during the night? Could the energy be different? Could the veil between the spirit world be thinner during this time? I'm grasping at straws here. I know with certainty these things are not the product of brain chemicals.
Thank you for sharing.
I have similar experiences almost daily. I'm actually surprised if a few days go by without such encounters.
The most recent experience was 11 hours ago!
It was a pleasant encounter which are usually rare. There was a key word "Thailand" which I have no idea what it means but just threw it out there because somebody may find some kind of a connection with it, the country whatever... Never been there and I have no connection to that place whatsoever.
I'm also in the arts. I have an extremely technical mind as well. Very analytical and I usually can research something well if I have the energy to do so.
But first let me say that I also suffer from a neurological disorder called Narcolepsy. I was diagnosed with Narcolepsy in Jan. 1996 after a friend read about the symptoms and sent me a Newspaper clipping about it.
An interesting point was when the EEC (electroencephalogram) technician during the Narcolepsy diagnosing routines mentioned that my brain base frequency was 50% higher than the norm. I immediately thought of a radio or television tuning to another channel.
All the symptoms that you mentioned you are experiencing with the exception of the flying glass can be explained under this disorder.
Do a little research on Narcolepsy, Cataplexy, Hypnagogia and even Sleep Apnea.
But I think the disorder is the portal for much more than science can explain.
I think it's very important to understand the "why" before you continue to the "what".
The "why" in the pathological sense is the key to understand "what" is happening.
Your understanding may help you develop a more productive experience or encounter as we may call it.
It's all good and all natural, just a different tuning channel.
In my case I've been having these experiences since I was a little kid and now I'm 41. In my quest of understanding I have searched religions and occult, and I have ruled out everything. They are all clueless. I have finally now began to come to terms and understanding.
I always suspected but now I think I got it.
What was hard for me, was to let go from all the legacy belief systems and to begin thinking for myself.
I realized that all religions were based on ancient philosophies and are not valid in my current understanding.
Open your mind and allow this "gift" to unfold. Remember to learn if it's attached in any way, shape of form with any pathological (including neurological) "disorder" in order to explain the "why" is happening and to give you clues to understand "what" it is, in order to answer the "how" do I use it/control it.
Also keep in mind that reality is a very personal matter. We all have our own reality even when others don't accept it. Even if everything was generated in your brain due to a neurological disorder, it doesn't stop from being your pragmatic reality.
It's your pragmatic reality and allows for a paradigm shift.
Maybe it is all chemicals in our brains and maybe it's the human evolution to the next level.
Only time will tell. Meanwhile don't feel you're alone in this world. I know I felt like that all my life and which is why I searched for these phenomenons on the web today. Maybe feel a little closer to home. Share and learn from others.
Most likely I (we) will have to live the rest of my (our) life (lives) with these experiences. Meanwhile I will share my two cents!
On another note, I continue to seek Neurologists who specialize in sleep disorders that may shed a light for better understanding for both of us.
To better comprehend our world and for me to better understand the physiological aspect of it.
Cheers
