Thank you guys for your responses, this is all new to me and I've only heard it spoken about in the audience members chatter at a soritoualsit church I go to. The medium told her not to 'over-do' it. I also had a mutual friend of a friend talk about it one day, and at the time I took her at her word, but she didn't really describe the intensity of it so I wonder if she's at the playing about stage.
I read about it recently, and have spoken a little about it on here with other members, but more importantly I think the reason I've just now experienced my first astral dream is because the past two years I've been going through bereavement, and an overall over-haul of my life in general.
It was two nights ago. I didn't set out do try get one, it was a big day the next day as I was returning to work and it was pivotal that I went. I think it was mainly my gran who enforced the ability to happen to me. I also clearly 'felt' and both my grandads, and my gran and my granny. At the end my mum also came through, but she's always usually kept a distance I think for fear of it upsetting me too much. But I felt all their presence, and 'saw' them in a shadowy, colour kind of sense. Pinks and blues. They were crowded round me, I don't know what they were doing at first, it seems like a kind of beckoning chat. But I saw other spirits too I didn't recognise and it was hard to decipher at first. When I felt the presence of my family members though, I was easily able to let myself go and just breathe in and feel them as they embraced me. They each embraced me in turn then my gran came through really strong, this was when I felt she entered my spirit almost and she began to almost clearly talk through me, and even moving my arms across my chest in a hug. This is when I got a wave of strength through me, I had it once before at her bedside in hospital a few hours before she died. As a Scorpio Venus, she had a strength I don't possess, and I believe she imparted this on to me so I could have the strength to return to work.
I did return to work, working with completely different people and im getting on more than good, I'm doing really well and they already respect me.
After the strength, she said that I shouldn't try and get back here and use it as an escapism and that I must live my life, I was surprised how mature I felt but my Aries said confidently that I see the importance of facing up to my life. I felt that they wanted to go, and I tried to fight the feeling of not wanting them to leave and it was nice that they did indeed stay around for what seemed a couple more minutes before I started to drift down this passage way. Towards the end I felt a sense of fear and darkness to my right, but it was distant enough I could ignore it and concentrate on just meditating and breathing. I did try to open my eyes and fight them open but I was unable to so I just concentrated longer on my breathing til I was able to force them open, my body was stiff on the bed but I didn't let it bother me. And soon I wa ms back in my bed. And just totally in awe of what I just experienced.
It's perplexed me.
