2007 I mastered lucid dreaming. Fully. I had them nearly every night and could stay in them as long as I wanted without being pulled awake.

I began spiritual practices in my dreams. I began reading Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep, and mastered all of the techniques in less than two weeks, which normally took the monks an entire lifetime to master, or 'lifetimes'. Meditation, intentions, learning how to 'change' energy, viewing and sometimes experiencing parts of myself before I was human, mirror scrying inside dreams, astral travel, creating 'light' that I could use as a tool, experiments in how electricity and magnetism are formed (as well as charge), viewing the solar system from afar to figure where we are in relation to the fluff, etc, etc. All of which were entirely accurate.

As all the above was going on, I had visitations of Greys and Mantis ET. Greys at first, on Dec 21 and 23. Eventually they completely stopped coming and I was being visited by a Mantis type ET. With that relationship, it was as if a bond was being created. Impossible to describe energy exchanges etc.

This is all occurring between 2007-2011. I think the last time I was visited was late 2010.

Still during all of this, I was advancing powerfully in the dream state. I began creating stuff over there, and raising myself into higher astral states, and even higher places (don't know what to call them). Then, one night when I was trying to raise myself (making myself vibrate faster), I was pulled down. I call the places I was forced down into, the dark places. The imagination cannot conceive of what I went through down there for the couple years I was being pulled down. Eventually, I master light energy while down there, and began bringing light to all the dark places, which lit me up like a beacon, and the nasties would come.

Long story short, I ended up freeing souls down there, and dissolving massive layers of the lower astral through the gift of light energy, and sneakiness. I would get pulled down, and instead of fighting to get back into the light areas, I decided to imbue entire areas with light, including any entity down there that violated my free will (attacked me). God, I can still see the layers disintegrating into gold sparks of light, massive. I began letting entities take me, and I would block out all energy signatures that would normally radiate out. They would bring me to places of...of dark power. Once I was in certain areas, I would release my energy, like exhaling. plant my feet, and clear my mind, and draw in energy. Entities would begin attacking. I was a magnet. I learned to divide my...intentions and keep multiple intentions/consciousnesses active at the same time. So as I continued drawing in energy, I was 'removing' the attacking entities. Then, big nasties would come, as if they were the owners/guardians of particular areas in the dark places. They are a pain in the ass! I directed the energies straight down through me in one large 'punch' like release, with an intent to ripple out and spread once it hit the 'ground'. I would tear down entire areas this way.

(Shit, this was supposed to be short)

Anyway, I was going through this all in the 7 year span that is just now finishing. My wife and I lost everything because of the economy tanking in 2008. Lost the house, eventually the cars, our life savings dwindled into the negative.

I was immensely depressed. I was conscious 24/7. Even in my sleep I was fully conscious! For about 3-4 years straight, nearly every single night.

I couldn't find a way to release. Finally, when I did it was already the first month or two of 2012. Finally I had some respite. Now, in 2013, I finally have a semblance of peace that I have never felt before. (I have never felt peace in my entire life).

OK, that was the 'short' version, lol. There is so much more. I have more memories of the other side than I do of waking reality. Imagine that...I have lived many lifetimes in this one.
