Nightmares

[rebecca_P1]

Escholars,

Thanks for your response. Your response to my first experience rings true. At that time of my life I was totally wrapped up in the outside package of people, not their inner beings.

I never thought about out of body experiences as a possible reason behind these experiences. Will have to check into this phenomena. I've only ever had one out of body experience, at least that I remember, way back in high school. It was a trippy feeling. However, I never thought about other people have OBE's and visiting me. Interesting twist.

Your experiences of walking out and visiting others reminded me of something. It actually made me laugh (no disrespect intended) only because of the situation surrounding my experience. I had slept with (no sex) with a guy in college. We were just getting to know each other. Anyway, that night I had pretty erotic dreams about him. No big deal given the situation. However, in the morning he asked me "so, did you dream WITH me last night?" I was so embarrassed as to what my dreams were about that I lied and said "no." I've never heard anyone else describe it as dreaming with.

You mentioned safe word or touchstone. Would I place such an object under my pillow? Do I need to do anything to it before using it as such? I have an object in mind that, when I read your suggestion, seems perfect for this purpose. Almost like its been waiting. Just curious if there's anything I need to do before using it.

Thanks!
