Strange Dream Vibrations after meditation session.

Recommended Posts

Hello.

I just had quite an intense dream and wondered if anyone could tell me a bit about it.

Background Information about myself (feel free to skip):

I have recently started meditating and am a beginner. However I have had (at least this is what I think they are) lucid dreams for many years before I started meditating.

They were paralysis dreams where I dream I am lying in my bed but cannot seem to move. I always used to try and wake up by rolling off the bed or something but I always reappeared in the same spot if this makes any sense at all.
It was such a mission to break out of my sleep and such a relief when I did.

 

I believe this all started many years ago when I was around 16 years old. My Grandpa had died

and 2 weeks later my uncle (who I had never met before but who always wanted to meet me) died as well.This possibly sparked my first spiritual experience where I had paralysis in my sleep about a week later and I heard this voice was calling out my name. It was very creepy at the time and I didn't think at all that maybe it was one of their spirits contacting me, although in retrospect I think that is likely.
The next night, I had a dream where I had a premonition about my own death and instantly had instense dream paralysis in my room. Then this black blotch appeared near the upper corner of the room and started growing and growing. It felt like death was coming to take me or something.

If anyone has any interpretation on this, it would be appreciated but not altogether too important

since it was so long ago.

Since then I have had sleep paralysis on a regular basis but it has become less intense. It used to feel like there was this strong force pressing my whole body down before, but I don't get that anymore.
It's much less dramatic now, but sometimes I feel like this force is attaching on to a part of my body which really prompts me to try and wake myself up as it's quite unpleasant. It's usually on the middle parts of my body. Sometimes a force squeezing my sides or something attaching onto my back.




The experience I want to ask about:

So, I was meditating today and did about 40mins. I am currently trying to work on microcosmic orbit channels. Then I went to sleep straight after meditation. I just plopped onto my bed. This

was in the afternoon.
I was dreaming just a regular dream, but I was quite aware I was dreaming. Then suddenly the

setting changed to me being sprawled on a carpet and there was an intense vibration. It was quite a quick frequency. Not like an earthquake or anything. More like a phone's vibration, except it wasn't pulsing.
I think it was everywhere at first (around the room and my body), but then I think it changed to mainly being in my throat and mouth area. This got me quite alarmed at first.
But then I calmed down and I appeared in my room lying on the bed in the paralysis state again. There was vibrations for a short bit but stopped, at which point I just tried to get myself awake again as usual.
This may have been accompanied by a few pleas of help to god during the vibrations with any strength that I had. ^_^.


I'm wondering was this some detrimental affect of going to sleep straight after meditation or perhaps it has no spiritual connection.

Sounds like you are one step removed from an out of body experience.

Intense, high vibrational state and paralysis being common precursors.

I've come lucid during the vibrational state a few times, but have not induced an obe willfully... yet.

I've had a few obe's randomly, but always become aware after the vibrational state, when I'm 'out'.

 

The sense that there is a dark presence very nearby is also quite common. Mine was right next to my face though I only experienced this once. Recently it's been vibrational state with no presence and no paralysis.

In the vibrational state,without the paralysis usually prompts an involuntary action on my part which breaks the process and then I'm just lying in bed.

So, is this out of body experience a dangeous thing that I should be avoiding because I don't really know what I'm doing.

What if my soul or whatever leaves my body and I cannot get back in? Are there things that can harm me in this out of body experience?

 

Or is it an experience that I should be encouraging for increased spirituality?

Avoid attaching to these experiential states in terms of novelty. This gives one's psychological entity(ies) more weight in one's affairs that it (they) already deserve. Just endeavor to leave this aspect of otherness(es) out as would one would consider an uninvited guest.

 

Your situation is much too tender psychically to be opening up by your own efforts. Stop. Back up and take another tack for the time-being.

 

Ultimately, there is no one. Ultimately there is no thing. Don't give in to this morbidity. It is a ghost-reality.

 

All these experiences arising out of meditation states are natural for someone enabling an unvirtuous aspect of mind into the meditative mix.

 

Try stopping meditation for a while and just settle into an open serenity in all times and affairs. This is the ultimate meditation anyway. I never did formal meditation. You are probably going too far too soon. Meditation is not to be entered into lightly. The ancient traditions don't allow the initiated to go into meditative states unsupervised at all, and when allowed, it is after more than a few years of study into the nature of the psychological/emotional body.

 

Take a break. There is no good reason to let this go on. Break it off asap. Something may be gaining entry due to your immature meditation approach.

 

It is much more desirable to enter into open serenity whereby the vibrational energy is activated without dragging the psychological/emotional body into the mix.

 

Innocence is natural. Be open to your own pure nature and forget about (set a conscious boundary) in terms of these other recurring experiences for a long time. In other words do nothing to induce them. Lucid dreaming is a cheap trick. Don't let these seduce you any further.

 

It is your life. You set the tone.❤

As to what should or shouldn't be your course, only you can decide. OOB can be amazing and/or freaky, I've experienced both. In the end these experiences, while opening up my awareness to a greater sense of reality and a greater questioning of 'who am i', are still just experiences. I'm grateful for what I've experienced good and bad, as there's a sense they all contribute to this 'who am i' process.

 

As to getting back from out of body travel, it is as simple as thinking about your body.

It's instantaneous. One can accidentally snap back into body and end an obe early with a stray thought about the body. This is a common complaint among those who are obsessed with obe's and are just beginning to have some success.

 

I wish you much awareness and clarity.

Is precursor to obe, like silent thunder said.

The dark figure, or ominous feeling could be your fear projection, or external entities. In focus 10 or mind awake body asleep state your mind have great creative power. What you see might even be totally off your own creation.

 

Many projector face these thing when starting. Some called them shadow. Essentially parts of yourself. Mostly your fear.

 

Energetic experience are common in this state. Like vibration, buzzing, heart racing (which is actually not your physical heart)

 

You don't really need to do anything to continue to full oobe in the state. Just relax, and don't get excited or emotional, which is actually very hard.

Some who are overly grounded begins to yearn for out of body experiences.

Others who find they are leaving the body too much too often say they desire to be more grounded.

 

This is why the Buddha taught, "A dewdrop sticks not to the lotus leaf, a lotus flower is untouched by water. The same way, wise beings cling to nothing at all, not to the seen, the heard or the sensed."

 

 

 

Whatever arises will fade. If there is grasping, then the arisings will linger like unwelcome guests. Change the nature of your thoughts, cut the tendencies which give rise to grasping and aversion, and you will taste the sublime equanimity of non-arisings. How else to prevent future rebirths of same stress?

Thanks for all the input,

This out of body experience thing has really sparked my curiosity, but i am still a bit apprehensive about it

 

I think it is best to continue training to increase my control over such things before I wander off into the deep end and try to induce it. It would, however, be great to rid myself of this sleep paralysis though. It's quite annoying. But as long as these vibrations arent seriously harming me I guess I will just let it happen if it happens again. I can never help my sleep paralysis anyway and I haven't been using any remedy for it so I'm guessing it will probably recur at some point.
