Do you see lights when you close your eyes? If so, what color?

If it is not dangerous, then, does it affect your dreams in any way? If I look into that light, my dreams become very vivid, and I start getting most of the senses I would have in everyday life ... except smell. So that when I have a scary experience (like something attacking me), then I can totally feel it. I get into periods where I am enjoying it, then I back off because of scary experiences where it feels physically scary. The common advice I hear about psychic protection is imagining a white light. Is that really all there is to it? Does one do that when they go to bed, or also in the experience (hard to remember to). I usually struggle really hard to wake up to get it to stop. The last one I had to wake up three times to get it to stop. The good experiences I have had are flying through deserts feeling the wind, flying up past clouds and seeing the phone lines and then a rainbow, and flying through lush valleys. Those were enjoyable. And in general it's enjoyable watching scenery. My true issue is not so much that people will disagree (because I can keep it secret), but that of not knowing how to be safe, and not knowing who to talk to about it. The people who have answered this thread are the most people so far that I have been able to find that have an idea what I am talking about.

The real issue for me, since I can keep my interests secret from friends, is that of psychic attack. I have had many beautiful experiences due to meditation (astral travel, OBE), but the experiences where something was attacking me in dreams (felt physical) scared me from meditating. I go into periods where I meditate, then periods where I don't, because something scares me. I don't know how common this astral attack/psychic attack thing is. Does this come with the territory or am I leaving myself open in some way that I am not supposed to? I want the beautiful traveling experiences out of body but not to have feelings of something physically bothering me.

Allot seems to be happening for you. Your OBE's and Astral Traveling - fantastic, go girl! Discernment is very important and being able to maintain a sense of consciousness in these experiences. We go to all sorts of spaces and places during sleep, some good, some not so good. Being able to discern, be conscious of your travelling, helps you to steer. Dreams can mean different things, sometimes they are personal, sometimes not. Lots to see, lots to learn, but you are way ahead of most just by the fact of being conscious of it.

Thanks Akuseru for that info. If you too are interested the book that will soon be a free download is called Awakening The Third Eye and is attainable through www.clairvision.org.

Citra1881 and vdosgal, So great to know someone else has similar experiences! Almost no one around me has a clue what I am talking about when I speak of metaphysical experiences or even of having all 5 senses in dreams + flying. It's a good point about staying close to God even when and especially when having those type of experiences. I would be curious to know how to stimulate other colors. I just get blue mostly, and occasionally a big purple dot. Thanks for all your responses!

Sounds like you are having a wonderful experience. I would be the LAST person to shoot you down hon. LOL I could write a book with all the experiences I've had!! (hhhmmm note to self write a book) Anyway, I agree with the previous response you third eye is becoming active the stars and the blue indicate two things. The blue is indicative of third eye activity. The stars represent your reach for the heavens and your connection to the universe. Please continue on your path. At least you are strong enough to "go against" so to speak the beliefs of your family.

So far the colors that I see change from black to gray to silver to red, to green and sometimes blue. Sometimes it feels like all my chakras are checking in saying they are ok. :-)

Also the best way to protect yourself during mediation is to encase yourself in purse white light. That is the light of the Divine also say a silent prayer requesting protection.

Hi Tetchie and vdosgal, I appreciate knowing someone else has similar experiences. I would be curious to know if blue comes first and then purple, or what? And is purple better than blue (higher vibration). Occasionally I have seen a purple dot coming toward me. I've been fighting with myself whether to be interested in the blue light any more, because it makes my dreams really vivid when I encourage it, and some of them can get scary -- especially if I feel tactile sensations. But, I did feel much more alive when I knew there were two worlds, and I was conscious in each of them, with hardly any break.
