There are numerous people who are psychic and also professional. You can all but abandon talking about this at work. I own this and numerous other 'paranormal' and 'metaphysical' sites and cannot share them with co-workers. I work in technology and this would fly like a brick. The good news is that you've got lots of on-line resources for sharing and learning. Things are changing but they aren't there yet.

You're a scientist so start looking at this scientifically. There is no hoo-doo baloney going on here. You are more than your physical body. You're a soul with an energy body experiencing life and the physical plane through this shell, you're going to occasionally (as you've found out) perceive things outside your normal senses. The soul may seem limited by the shell, but only when it's in beta. If you want to increase your abilities and experiences, do the logical thing and start working with your energy bodies. You've got to further your education and learn about chakras and the aura. What cleans them up? What energizes them? How do you open them? And so on. This is your life, not your co-workers, so pursue what will make your life more enhanced. And what is there to lose? You'll gain knowledge and experience at a minimum.

What is 'bad'? What we write off as bad ends up being a great learning experience. And how would you ever know what "good" is if you didn't have "bad" to compare it to? Like writing on a white chalkboard with white chalk. You need one to see the other. Rethink what is real and necessary.
We are all psychic. It's just how much a person opens to it.

I just recently purchased a book by Daniel Pinchbeck who is one of the most intelligent writers I've happened upon. He's just like you; smart (he's actually pretty damned brilliant), questioning, lucid and wanting to know what this and the future is all about. His book was so engrossing I finished it in two days. It's called "2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl". Don't get hung up on the 2012 aspect of the book, it's actually fairly minor compared to the whole content. But it's a parallel path to yours and it's a very mature well written read. Just a suggestion.

You're already doing good things to help yourself along. You're starting to trust, continuing to stay open, checking out the internet and so on. You'll end up where you need to be. We all do sooner or later.

A tip that I've always hugely benefited from is to maximize sleep. If you can, force yourself to really sleep in during the weekend. You'll spend less time in unconscious slumber and more time seeing other realms, being told answers to things, the future, and so on. This was also one of Robert Monroe's piece of advice. That's why so many people find answers with the three "B's" of bed, bath and bus. This is because your logical left brain is put to rest for a moment and your more subtle, right brain function is allowed to come to the surface.

Thoughts are like radio waves. They extend beyond our brains and can be picked up by others. Being that there are so many thoughts out there, most don't get picked up and end up being more like white noise (otherwise, we'd all go nuts with all the thought waves out there), whereas a very large event, those thoughts are magnified because so many people are sending out relatively the same frequency and then there are those watching it on tv which exponentially increase it even more. Most thoughts we pick up are from loved ones. I've mentioned before I've mentally "talked" with an ex in his sleep and since he was a sleep-talker, he answered me out loud so I know these thoughts are transmitted.

Anyway, we are all psychic but some people are more sensitive than others. Psychic just means to perceive something outside of our normal senses so yes, this was a psychic event.

Thanks so much for sharing!

There's some advanced tips on my other website: http://www.astralvoyage.com/projection/index.html

I forgot to mention that you can read some articles I wrote about aliens under the articles link (http://www.psychic-experiences.com/psychic-articles/). Scroll to the bottom and you'll see them entitled, "Aliens, an Introduction", "Aliens and the Astral", "Aliens, - Why are they here" and "Aliens and Military Involvement".

Anne

I think anyone who has done any serious inquiry into the alien arena will find that there is enough credible evidence that they exist. If you read any of Dr. Stephen Greer's material you'll also find that, like us, they are inter-dimensional. This means that you will see them in altered states of consciousness because when we sleep, meditate deeply or remote view, we aren't just in our heads, but are in the subtle planes, which is where they too exist.

You are of sound mind so have no worries. It's not common but there are people (including myself) that have dreams of aliens. We live in a very ignorant world so why this is, is left to people like you and I to muddle through via our dreams, astral projections and research. Yes, you very well could have alien dna. You could be a hybrid or you could have incarnated here at this particular time in history to help mankind in some way (ever wonder "what the hell am I doing in such a place?). I'd look at what compels you. For example, I'm compelled to create all these webpage (www.astralvoyage,com, www.psychic-expereinces.com, www.spiritual-experiences.com, www.yourghoststories.com, etc) to help people, which is part of why I am here. Some come to be healers, teachers, leaders, and so on.

It's rare for me to find people that share in these dreams. I have more stories and experiences than you could image on the subject and would be interested in sharing some offline posts. Please feel free to write me if you're interested at eclecticraven [at] yahoo.com.

If you're sensitive enough to be attracted to crystals and divination tools then you're going to be sensitive enough to pick up on beings around you. Where do you think the billions of people go after they die? They are all around us. Heaven and hell (the higher and lower planes of existence) exist in the same space as we do. It just vibrates at a different frequency. If yours is of a higher nature, you're going to pick up a higher bandwidth. If you're "new" to this, then decide which way you want to go. Do you want to see even more and work on that ability, or are you afraid and want to see less and bury it? There is plenty of information on the net on how to increase your psychic abilities. Turning them off is harder but ultimately, why would we want to? If used in a positive manner, it's very much life enhancing.

As for the lady, she probably is either related or enjoys your energy on some level. Sounds like she's harmless enough. You could try and communicate with her and help her move to a higher dimension. Maybe that's your life calling.

Anne

There isn't a good scientist out there who doesn't agree parallel universes exist. This town may not be 'real' here but it's probably real somewhere else. You may even have another 'you' that lives there and your consciousness splits between the two. I can't count the times where I drift off to sleep and fade from this dimension into another where it's as real and clear as this one, I know the people very well, am in love with someone, have a whole life, etc. We are multidimensional beings with multidimensional lives in a multidimensional universe.

As for turning it off, that's a hard one unless you medicate yourself. Maybe the veil between this dimension and the next is thinning? Instead of avoiding it, maybe investigate it. Are these things truly evil or trying to teach you something higher? Every evil I've ever confronted with unconditional love morphed into the same. A strange way to receive the lesson but life does that.

That is a very unusual experience and I'd consider this a gift. Most people have to pursue a strong spiritual (and I didn't say religious here) path to have that kind of enlightened message/experience. It is a common concept by many eastern cultures that we are all part of the "One". This was "proven" to you by the fact that you two were as one for a short period of time. Most people go through a lifetime and not experience this.

Like a candle, where are the lines and edges of where it starts and ends? It radiates outwards and has no real edge. We feel solid and separate but we're all just vibrating mass meshed in with more vibrating mass. A drop in a huge ocean. If you were to travel to the higher planes you'd see that separation disappear. We're all tied together though most of what we're looking at appears invisible but it's not. Not surprising either is that your experience started with sound-- more vibrations and the basis for some theories on creation.

Anyway, I'd be curious as to what the "preparation" entailed. Soon is a relative term but I agree it's big and around the corner.

Thanks so much for sharing.

The too gullible think everything they imagine is real and the hard liners think everything but facts based on evidence is imaginary. So it's good to question what you are seeing but also have some confidence that what you see may be more than what meets the eye. Shadows are a hard thing to peg. It's like a cloud; it can shape into all sorts of neat things but it's still just a cloud. Shadows can play tricks so we should all use (like you did) common sense and not jump to conclusions until the shadow does something shadows don't do like morph into a solid shape, make a clear noise or something else quite out of the ordinary. Feel free to read the shadow article I wrote on this site: http://www.psychic-experiences.com/psychic-articles/shadow-people.php. In your case you may be seeing spirits.

Hearing voices after coming out of sleep is not uncommon. We are generally picking up frequencies in the etheric. I can hear full blown songs when coming out of sleep, or radio waves in full clarity. It just is. It's not really paranormal, it's simply that we are experiencing life through a filter and that filter is removed when we sleep and only starts to come back into being when we wake up. "Altered states" are just our diminishing of the filter. The filter is the ego, the noise of life and the physical body that obstruct subtle realm data.

We are all psychic! It's just a matter of degrees. So for you to have some of that is very natural. There is too much hype around psychic abilities like it's so special - it's quite ordinary. Can you just imagine what your life would be like if you actually worked on this? This psychic muscle which has atrophied would come to life and your life would be incredible. The small experiences would become so common place that you'd just accept them for what they are. The spectacular experiences would be introduced into your life and eventually, you'd just accept the truth that you are an amazing microcosm of All That Is and can perceive and do just about anything.

We are all psychic to one degree or another so it's not an accident.

Thanks for sharing.

Thank goodness you were alright. What an incredible story. Thanks for sharing.

Images coming in or out of sleep (even while "lucid") are either hypnopompic or hypnogogic. When we sleep, our chakras open and we receive the energy we need to live. This includes our third eye chakra. When we slowly awaken, these chakras are also slowly closing as they prep for the new day, but are still open enough to receive some of the benefits like visions. If you want to maximize this, take a day on the weekend when you can sleep in, and force yourself to not only sleep in but dip in and out of sleep. You'll soon have lucid dreams, OBE's and very cool visions. As Robert Monroe, the famed astral projector, always said, "Maximize sleep!"

airwindme17, I agree this is to be a safe haven. Please report any abuse to our web developer (or myself at eclecticraven - at - yahoo.com).

As for meditating, start with simple things like spending time with nature and animals. They are so pure that this will help smooth your energies and focus your thoughts. If you can, try and drop thoughts of the regular world and all your cares & relationships while you are in nature or around animals. Quiet your mind and give them a turn to 'speak'. This is a beautiful meditation and will be very rewarding.

Thanks for sharing.

This may be beyond what you're looking for (or understand) but here's some food for thought. How do you know the little girl was a ghost? Because she had rope marks and tattered hair? We are all 'ghosts' in the astral. You and her end up in the same place either while sleeping or after you shed your physical shell. This is why the priest laughed and said they are all around you. They are! People are afraid of ghosts but that's you and I all the time when we are sleeping (Robert Monroe used to ask people while astral projecting if they were dead or alive because he simply couldn't tell). As for her floating, she no more needed to walk than you did. You would have floated too if you had any lucidity to you. We don't need to eat, "talk", walk or breath in the astral. But because most humans aren't evolved in this regard, they act like the body they think is so real on the astral really exists so they perform the moves as if it were solid. I wish people reading this could understand the implications...

So you got a glimpse of the astral. Get ready for a shocker. After you die (however you or any of us die), you're going to see things like this on the regular. This is your future "life". This is why religions, whether they do it well or poorly, try and push for people to evolve themselves so they don't get stuck in the lower astral (or their version of hell). You were in mid range astral. I wrote an article once that mentioned to people that if you want to know where you end up after this life, check out your dreams. They are usually a good indication.

Good for you for asking what the possible meaning could be. The meaning is, is that what you've been taught about life is so far from the truth that when you see the truth, you don't recognize it.

If this scares you then keep working on your meditations. Instead of running in terror from a little girl who looks to have suffered, stop and ask if she needs help. If you see someone floating, ask why you yourself are walking. Maybe this is a nice wake up call to the dreamer:)

What a nice way to start the morning. Thanks for such an insightful and well written post.

Being that we currently exist in "first grade" fighting is definitely status quo. The ego, such that it is, has to have an "us" and a "them". So we make up religious reasons, sexual differences and dominances, pursuit of some lofty goal we want to push onto others, greed, etc. So that we can "fight the good fight." And just when we side with someone and stop fighting, we knock on the community, state, or country next door and find some other reason to fight. And if the world united today, it would find some alien being to fight. So yes, you're dead accurate in that fighting is what the basic human element does at 'this' level. As for the 'wrong people butting heads' who can say who that really is? We don't know the higher purpose of what is happening (we think we do but we aren't evolved enough to truly know and if we were, we'd not be here). It is with extreme difficulty in that I say what we judge we don't understand. Crazy as it sounds, there just IS and that plays out in a million ways as "good and bad".

Let the fighters fight because that's where they need to be at this time. This doesn't mean you or I have to. Should we not let the first graders be in first grade? If not, isn't that because we want them to be more like us (an ego based thought as in "Oh I'm so great, be like me.") It is necessary, as ugly as it seems. The beautiful world is being sacrificed so that first graders can do what they do. And eventually, she'll shed them like fleas and the cycle will start all over again and then again and then again, just like the Mayan calendar. This is the plane of existence that we're in. This is the first grade. You probably fought lifetimes ago but have evolved to what you are now, but you couldn't have gotten here without having been through the previous. You can't get to second or third grade without going through first. Everyone evolves at their own rate, not at the rate we want to dictate. Thank God for this because there are those far beyond us that aren't hurrying us beyond our current capability.

Not taking a side is probably the closet to being truly evolved. Reality at so many levels is a game and a play and getting sucked in to the drama is just buying into the play, which is fine, because that's why we're here, but when we see it for what it is, we then ascend to the next level. I have no doubt that your time here on this plane won't be long. Just sit back and neutrally watch. The drama is going to increase and it's your insight that will keep you from being drawn in and lowering your vibrations.

Dreams are just disguised astral experiences. Most people's dreams are driven by the subconscious mind which is why it's mostly day-to-day processing and highly symbolic imagery as this is how the subconscious mind works. More lucid individuals will be conscious during their travels and be able to direct them. In the astral, form follows thought which is why a lot of people manifest what is on their mind (good, bad or otherwise).

And then there are parallel dimensions of which we have other lives in. We can dip in and out of this dimension when we sleep but this is another story.

My other webpage is www.astralvoyage.com. There you'll read about the noise, static, the magnetic pull, separation symptoms, the catatonic effect, the effects of your chakras when you separate and so on. You're experiencing text book pre-projection or projection symptoms. The question is, do you want to keep fighting it and referring to it as episodes or start to educate yourself? Some people are born with naturally lose holds over their astral form and unless you medicate into oblivion, you'll probably endure this for the rest of your life here. But remember, you, me and everyone else on this webpage will be dead very soon in relative terms of time yet your blessed in that you have the opportunity to see and learn some of what the afterlife is about while still here. If you're curious, pick up some books by Robert Monroe or William Buhlman. You don't need to stay fearful, ignorant and with little control over the event.

Too bad you are so fearful. There are so many amazing things to see and do. Many people would count their lucky stars to be lucid while projecting. Live a little! Go see the pyramids, Stonehenge, the moon, new dimensions, your guides. Get out of your fear based head and know you are more than your physical body and a new world awaits (what do you think is going to happen when you die and where do you think you are going? A lot of people are NOT prepared!). We endure what we need on some level. We can turn our backs to our spirituality but it has a way of finding us regardless. The next level of your development is a decision away.

You can't undo the fear. You have to go through it and process it. Read up on webpages like mine. There is a ton of free material out there. Even those books are available for free at any library. I've been there and done that and now I control the event. The good news is that once you evolve and develop, this is a huge blessing.

Best to you,
Anne

I think people suffering anxiety are more normal than they realize. How can one not feel some anxiety with the way things are going in the world? You'd have to have your head stuck in the sand to not feel it. And humans in general are the most chaotic, frustrated, lost beings on this planet so any person with empathy is going to pick up on that.

You cannot get away from humans that I'm aware of! So the next best thing is learning coping skills. How do the rest of people with developed sensitivity do it? I cannot speak to others but can only offer you a tip or two from myself. First, pick your friends very carefully. Wean off energy consumers and drama addicts. Second, make time for yourself. Every day should have some sort of down time whether it's reading, meditating, reflection, finding a place of beauty and enjoying it, time with your pet who loves you unconditionally, etc. This will recharge your "batteries" and make coping a lot easier. Last, turn off the radio, tv, computer and get in the slow lane. This life will suck you in and spit you out if you follow mainstream activities. Learn how to get quiet, both internally and externally.

Hope this helps.

Do you really think God doesn't know what you want until you pray? It's known before it enters your brain pan. If God wanted you more gifted you would be. Abilities more than likely come to us through hard work and perseverance, not because we just asked for it. If it were that easy, we'd all be fat and lazy because it's the path of least resistance and we'd not evolve spiritually.

We can all ask these questions. Why am I not better at math? Why can't I do "x" as well as some people? We are all varied at our gifts and should feel blessed for what we have, not envious of others (isn't this a Christian no-no in itself?). All gifts can be improved naturally so focus on the things that do just that and less on what the next person has over you. They always say to not compare yourself to others because if you're better you'll feel vain, if you're inferior then you'll feel bitter. Either way it's not getting the person anywhere with their development.

As far as you helping people "repent" before it's too late is very egotistical (like you're some anointed savior). You do not know God's path for people which is more varied than your mind can fathom. You can't even figure out your own path and complain why God isn't given you "more". People will repent when they have evolved in their spiritual path, not because you self-righteously tell them too after your fast-track to psychic-dome. People rarely listen to advice anyway (will you for that matter?) You've got your own work cut out for just you, let alone the masses. Good intentions but you don't even trust God enough to accept what "It" has given you let alone have the maturity to deliver messages from said source.

That's an interesting differentiation between shadow figures and cloaks and one that's not stressed enough so thanks for that. I've seen cloaked figures before when astral projecting. They sound, act and look like draconian type aliens (you can see an artistic rendition here: http://www.reptoids.com/Vault/phydes_ver1.htm.

From what I've read and the few I've seen, they match that description. They are tall, wear cloaks (I think there are wings under these cloaks or maybe the cloaks are wings and just look like cloaks?) and are reptilian in nature. Their motives are not positive towards humans that I'm aware of.

I'm particularly fascinated with aliens because I've seen enough during my out-of-body travels that I know one) that they exist, two) that they are interested in what mankind is doing, and three) some are affecting what is happening here and last, I think there is dna alteration\ hybridization going on.

Thanks for posting an interesting topic. I'd love to hear more of your personal experience if you wish to share them with me at eclecticraven (at) yahoo.com.

Feeling the emotions of animals is easier than humans because animals are pure. Their intent, being and behavior is pure and undiluted of ego and driven mainly by instinct. Humans are harder to read because they are scattered in their thoughts, behavior, are complex models of beings due to ego & intelligence, are sometimes violent & corrupt, and a myriad of other reasons.

No, you're not alone. Most empaths are generally very close to animals, and often earth and her properties. They know this from the earliest of ages and often even prefer animals, or even solitude to the noisy, egocentric nature of humans. I think part of the spiritual path of an empath is not necessarily reveling in the ease of loving animals, but enduring and learning the very difficult process of finding love for the not-so-lovable human.
