Recently I had been practicing opening and closing my chakra points in meditation just recently, and I noticed that the most receptive one to my tries was my inner eye, the purple chakra. I was hoping that I would be able to hone my own receptiveness to things this way and it might have worked.
Just recently I had another dream in which a spirit of some kind contacted me. I was in a normal dream at first, nothing spiritual about it, but then near the end I was pulled away from it and "woke up" in my dream to someone elses bed in someone elses house. When I opened my eyes in the dream there was a little boy standing over me looking at me as if waiting for me to wake up and notice him.
I screamed of course, as is most peoples reactions when they see a person out of nowhere like that. I tried to get up and scream for my mom, but the bed sheets tightened and I couldn't move and my voice was failing me. It wasn't until I calmed myself down and payed attention to the boy who was now sitting to my left that the sheets loosened.
The boy in question was completely black. His hair was black, his skin was black, and his clothes were black, and in the same pitch as well. Now I'm not sure if his eyes were normal or also black, but that's as far as I remember of his appearance.
I then asked him "Who are you?" He responded by saying his name was "David."
'David' then tried to crawl under the blankets with me and knew he was trying to do something, so I brought my hand towards his head and said he couldn't do that and then he crawled out and sat back next to me. It was then I wake up for real.
I'm not sure who or what he was. Either he might have been a little boy who had died in a fire, or it was a bad spirit who took the form of my little brother when he was younger to trick me. But all the same, I'm not really sure what he wants.
These shadow beings people are talking about, in my opinion, are physical manifestations (ghost energy) - not dream manifestations.
The little boy is seeking comfort-something you denied him. He is not malevolent.
Love and light...always
