Nightmares

[esholars]

Maybe you could look up out of body experiences. Sometimes other people walk out and visit you. That first time it could have been someone that really loved you but you didn't/wouldn't look at them in waking life. You saw their inner beauty and love for you in spirit form.

I had a bad habit of walking out and visiting people in their/my dreams. I did not know I was doing it. Until one day someone commented on it (in a graphic manner) and told me to stop. I thought I was "just" dreaming about them.
I had to ask other people if they had dreamed of me on nights that I dreamed about them. It scared the bejees out of me. I definitely tried to stop dreaming about people.

Years later I was told (by a teacher of metaphysics) that I do this, without remembering anything, all the time. I was told I was going out to do battle against evil for loved ones and friends within the spirit world; I thought I was having nightmares. She said I needed to pull my whole spirit-self back into my body because I was spending my waking life half in half out and that was the source of some of my life problems; a half mind devoted to each side gets no solutions/full thought to either side. When I received a serious injury out there I became ill over here.
I am still working to control this behavior.
Sometimes spirit people on the other side help me sometimes they send me away.
Sometimes there are very ugly mean spirits to contend with so you need a touchstone or some method to stop them from harming you. Something like a safe word to pull you out of the situation. Hope this is helpful to you.

p.s. I have been trying to figure out what is going on in my head/spirit for years and so I read about anything that might be an answer.
