Possible Psi/energy attack?

Hey everyone,

So I'm gonna just go straight into this.

Last night, I was sat in bed, trying to get to sleep. I was having a great deal of trouble. It was a terribly hot night, and I am covered in mosquito bites, which are extremely irritating.

Every so often I would drift into a sort of semi awake, but not quite asleep state.

This is when the strange thing happened. I drifted into the state described above, but all of a sudden, a visualisation of something really fast travelling through something just appeared in my head. I don't know what it was travelling through, maybe leaves, branches, i think it could of been a curtain, but whatever it was, it was coming really fast, straight at me. And it really was straight at me. When it "hit" me, it felt like i had been punched in the face, but it didn't hurt. It startled me, I didn't quite know what to do. I just sat there, upright, extremely confused. There wasn't any extra feelings attached to it, it was just as if it had whacked me. No negativity, no nothing.

I was dazed and confused, trying to think what it was. When it collided, I sprang back, like it had forced me, and i lunged for the light.
I put the light on and peered around my room. I couldn't sense anyones presence, or see anything. So I just flicked the light off, and tried to sleep again, telling myself i imagined it.

So there i was layed down, pondering what it could've been, when it happened again. Another punch right in my face. This time i was a little more shocked. The fact it happened again made me think "Someone" was doing this. Panicing, i started to use a shielding meditation a friend had showed me. I tried to block it all out, but i could feel them, all feeling like little punches, or maybe balls of energy, directed at me. The second lot of them, had no visualisation attached to them, just the force.

The shielding helped, it was calming it down. Eventually, after about 5 minutes of visualisation and shielding, it stopped.

I had no idea what it was. It was about 3 in the morning, I dont remember the exact time. I thought to myself, im not gonna be able to sleep after this. I wasn't scared, just startled, extremely shocked. I was paranoid that if i went to sleep, it could happen again. Whilst thinking about this, i was suddenly taken by a feeling of joy and happiness, which helped guide me to sleep.

I awoke in the morning, fine. Nothing unexpected happened again.
I think it might have something to do with Alpha State visions, i dont have a clue.

Anyone have any ideas?

It went on for a while, like it was a battle, like Someone was actually attacking me, but then rewarded me with sleep, for fighting it off.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Ask questions as you will.

Love&Light.

Jacob

very interesting story thank you for sharing it

my theories

1) you were hit with some form of energy beam

2) spirit or spirits attacked?

3) massive hallucinations

4) you were dreaming



i personally like theory # 1

i highly doubt 3 or 4 but its not impossible

Hey, thanks for the reply.

Yeah, i was thinking along those lines.

Maybe a Psi attack, or some form of energy.

I have had a slap my self, I too was about to fall to sleep, and it felt like some one slapped my left side of the face.

The wierd part is that I had my right hand under my head to level my position on the pillow, and the 'slap' also hit my right little finger as it was near my ear where I got 'slaped', and whats even wierder is that I sat up straight and my face hurt and my right little finger hurt too...

What was this, any one know ??

reply to post by ChemBreather


Ah you actually physically thought it was a slap. Like someone had forced your hand into your face.

It didn't actually feel like a big punch hitting me in the face, more of a force, but i thought punch was the best way to describe it.

Someone beyond the grave trying to contact you? Has anyone you know died recently?
Off topic a bit, but I had an experience 2 nights ago, trying to get to sleep also. I had a visualisation come to me that heaps of people were running into my bedroom, but i could feel them, the vibrations from the running and the presence of their energy. I have some light in the room from a reptile heat lamp but could see nothing unusual, so I imagined a white light surrounding me and went to sleep.

Hmm no.

No one I know has died recently, so i dont think a dead person is trying to contact me.

Worry not! This is called the hypnagogic state and its an amazing point between being conscious and falling asleep (not a very technical term).

I never been punched, slapped, tickled or anything tactile, I have had auditory and visual hallucinations though. Its supposed to happen to about 40% of people at least once in their lives - sleep paralysis is also quite common with this experience too and that is when it can get scary!

So yeah, don't worry you described perfectly the type of scenario that is can happen in but stress or other medical conditions can cause it too - just as a side note.

Some people try deliberately to get into this hypnagogic state for various reasons like creative thinking or lucid dreaming. Id recommend to try and do it again this time after reading about it and see what happens! Good luck!

Thanks for that Dae,

Although I am sure that Something did that to me.
It felt as if someone was purposely trying to get my attention, signal me, contact, whatever, but it was definately not a hallucination.
I felt as if i was in a state of some sort, maybe the Hypnagogic state you descirbed, maybe the Alpha State, but the force, or energy i felt was very real.
I wasn't afraid of it, just extremely startled.

Thanks anyway,

Love&Light

Do you have a cat? Your story reminded me of this video the moment I heard it. (Cat lovers only)

reply to post by JacobNH


OK, I understand what your are saying. I have come to my conclusions because of my many experiences.

Everything is real but it still can be a hallucination too, I know mine were and many other people know there's are too because we have had ours visually, for me I saw and heard people I knew to be alive and well in their beds and not walking around my room creeping me out.

Yours was all tactile so you feel that it cannot be a hallucination, I get that.

All I know is that I have had personal proof that they are hallucinations. This hypnagogic state has been studied for probably a millennia and it is an amazing thing! We don't know much about it and all I can tell you is of my experiences. I do know that not long after reading The Terra Papers I had this happen to me and I saw a bloody grey alien and I laughed - it even moved my curtains as it walked in through the window - the mind is a funny thing!

sounds to me like you were in "that" state of half awake, half asleep. The perfect time for sleep paralysis to kick in. Now, you also may have been on the verge of an out of body experience, which is also linked to that state. prehaps this feeling of being punched came from your instinct fighting back the feling of trying to leave the body.

reply to post by Acidtastic


That did occur to me.

I though about an OOBE, but wasn't sure. I always said to myself, dont be afraid, and i wasnt.
I didn't experience any paralysis either.

I have had many unusal things occur in the hypnagogic state.
However the things I experienced closest to yours was in dreams.
Once a ghost couldnt see it flew and hit me in the solar plexes and it woke me up.

Once in the hypnagogic state an elder type Gandalf looking dude stuck his hand at an angle into my throat which was an energetic throat but I gasped inhaled and sat up.

S&F by me.

reply to post by cindymars


Ah thanks for the S&F

That sounds really strange, i dont quite know what to say to it. A ghost flew into you, and hit you? Thats crazy. Do you know why it couldn't see you?

Thanks,

Love&Light

Jacob in the dream the entity flew at me intentionally.
It was creepy.
