I see things when between sleep and consciousness
Something has bothered me for a long time regarding things I "see" when in a state between sleep and being awake. I feel that I sometimes leave my body in this state and see things around me while in an "astral form." I am 27 years old and remember having experiences like this since I was 9 or 10 years old, and I thought they were just dreams until recently.

What made me think these visions are more than dreams is the reality in what I see. For example, I am dozing off in the afternoon while reading a book, and instantly begin "dreaming" and am outside of my apartment, looking down the stairs. Everything looks just as it does in real life. I see two friends of mine walking up the stairs. seconds later, I am awoken to a knock on the door, and of course it is those same two friends at the door that I had just seen in my "dream." Similar experiences have happened many times.

These "dreams" always occur in my immediate surroundings. Here is what scares me: often, I am seeing monstrous or demonic looking creatures when I theoretically leave my body mere seconds after dozing off. I will close my eyes and immediately be in the next room where some horrific entity is looking right at me. The fear that results from these sightings wakes me immediately.

Does anyone else experience things like this? The fact that I see real, current things in this state makes me think the "monsters" I see are real but not visible to us when we are conscious. It is terrifying and I know make an effort to not "nod off" during the day / before I am in bed and ready to sleep.

I do too and after many years I can turn it on and off at will. Our minds our capable of so much, wish I could tap into more.

Re: I see things when between sleep and consciousness
Perfectly normal. Beyond the Christian propaganda, demons/archons/jinns/astral negs/etc. are just entities that do not have access to the spirit energies of human consciousness. In essence, they are artificial intelligence or discarnate thought forms. They must trick spirits to fear in order to extract spirit energy but in reality they are as harmless (and on he flip side, as harmful) as you imagine them to be.

Re: I see things when between sleep and consciousness
If you read nonduality you will see that this is the best possible time to realize the Self. Many masters have discussed this from Nisagadatta to Robert Adams. This is before the little 'i' who you think you are, starts functioning.

Self realization is the 'non state' beyond waking, dreaming and deep sleep states. The timeless eternal 'I Am', what we actually always are.

Re: I see things when between sleep and consciousness
the peripheral vision of human eyes are able to pick up the infrared spectrum of light. So when you see things out of the corner of your eyes, you are seeing something that is truly there.

Keep this in mind.

Re: I see things when between sleep and consciousness
This sort of happened to me and I hallucinated a spider last summer and have had similar experiences several times since. That made me look into it and discovered the moments between sleeping and being awake are very common to hallucinate. There's even scientific names for it, etc. Here's the thread, maybe some of the info is in there.

Re: I see things when between sleep and consciousness
I've long enjoyed that semi-conscious state. Several times I feel that I've had revelations (not spiritual, but concerning understanding of a more Earthly nature), but I never get out of that semi-consciousness with the information. I forget it.

I've only discovered the revelations when very near to the full sleep stage.

Re: I see things when between sleep and consciousness
thanks for replies. So how do I learn to control this ability? now, It is mostly random and I don't have any control over where I go or when it happens. Some, of course, are able to travel to far corners of the universe while in an astral state.

I have done a fair amount of research into this phenomenon as well as remote viewing, but if anyone has personal advice or links to share I would appreciate it.

Re: I see things when between sleep and consciousness
Funny, since I had my first conscious sleeping paralysis, as a child, I've been playing with these things but most of the time it comes randomly...but i'm trying to learn how to control it. And today...was scary. I was 100% conscious with shocks going thru my body. And also a feeling which could be described best as a burning kundalini in my back. While I had somekind of demonic-energy-struggle in my fucking head. I mean, I'm always excited to things like that, but this time I was scared. But still it was in some kind "controllable". I will keep on trying.

With practice you will be able to wake yourself after receiving the information. Immediately write it down & then go to sleep.

OP, as far as the demonic entities are concerned, command them to go away -- I do this in the name of the Holy Trinity, but use whatever belief system that is right for you. Do not allow them to cause you fear.

Been experiencing this my entire life as well. Hang in there, it is a good thing.

Yep, hypnagogia, or hypnagogic/hypnopompic imagery was my initial thought. I experience it most nights when going to sleep, mostly visual and sometimes auditory.

Apparently you can work with and utilize it to help initiate wake-induced lucid dreams(WILDs), and OBEs. Still working on that myself. I can control them at times, but when I fall asleep soon thereafter I'm just asleep... for now anyway cool2

we who can go into that place are always attacked by them. But some people assume all they see is demonic out of their ignorance. I am not often bothered by them anymore, because its not FUN for them. You can uncreate some of them, the thought forms anyway they use.

Re: I see things when between sleep and consciousness
This used to happen to me too.

When I was young, under times of stress, this would happen. I would wake up, and not be able to move, then somehow, get up out of my body by forcing it, walk around the room, with what seemed like a giant rubber band connecting me to my body. I would get sucked back in if i lost concentration.

This freaked me out so I stopped doing it.

I have had one demonic experience during this. I woke in a cave, which looked to be underground, very deep. I walked through the cave and saw a giant demon in the wall, sitting on a type of chair carved out of the rackface iteself.

It asked me what I was doing there, and that this was "His" realm. I told it I didnt know why I was there. He just looked at me, amused... told me his name, and then I woke up. I dont remember his name, but I did write it down somewhere.
