some months ago, after a completely sober day (and week) I slept in my room, just to wake up a bit before sunrise with a feeling of 'strangeness'. I lay still, looking at the ceiling. you should guess then it was quite a shock when I extended my arm and touched the ceiling. my arm was not overly long, the ceiling was not lower than it usually was, yet I touched it. I then noticed the faint sunlight and wished to look at the window to my left. I managed to see it all right, but I did not move, the room tilted as if I had the strings of it in my hands and the window just came on top of me. that means a 90 degree revolving of the room and the ceiling to be not on top but to the right of me. weird. I touched the knob of the window panel and saw the outside world, which was quite usual except its position; imagine looking upwards to see a 90 degree tilted world. freaky... yet the strangeness emotion was not over, I felt I have to look around me, and as I lifted my head a little and looked at the direction of my feet, I saw that half of my room was gone, replaced and merging with a very dark jungle. there were gigantic trees starting just five meters away from me. and there were some 'entities' who were darker than the trees and the jungle, walking slowly along the jungle -and the edges of my room, umm half of it ok. the entities were big, maybe four or five meters long, slow, and -as I felt- very old, ancient even. because of the dark, I couldn't make out their exact shapes. they somehow were uneasy because of my existence there, and stopped to growl something at me. as I continued staring at them with amazement, one of them finally rushed over me and hissed menacingly. they were not evil, yet were uneasy and I felt I had no right to disturb them further. mind this; they were powerful, I felt it. yet for some unknown reason, I knew and they knew that I was at that occasion invincible there. they did not wish me any harm after all. they just told me I was not to be there, not then maybe. so I decided to go back, leave them to their serene jungle and existence. I lay back down and slept. I woke up in the morning. remembered everything, felt the residue long afterwards in the room. I, to this day, do not know what that was, where I was, who they were etc... one thing I feel to the bottom of my heart to be true: that was not a dream. yes, it can be a hallucination, one must always leave an open door for this kind of a scientific, materialist explanation. but not a dream, I just, know... and if that was no hallucination... well.. hmm...
Astral projector playing with you is the case. Astral projectors induce dreams and hallucinations. You were warned. Beware of their pyrokinetics. It will burn you.
When I think of your dark creatures, I think of the creatures that come at the end in Lady in the Water. I cant remember the names but they were cool.
could be a lucid dream or astral projection. I would believe that you were probably sleeping and it was just a realistic dream.
yes, exactly what I am thinking. I once succeeded in astral projection in the past. what I wonder is that if that was not lucid dream or hallucination and it's astral projection instead; then what kind of a world or realm that forest and the entities were in and if anyone encountered a likewise experience with total sobriety
