Last night’s astral projection came unexpectedly—it was an unplanned out-of-body experience. It didn’t come from an intention that I had made, but instead it sprang from the restless and stressful state I’ve been in lately. With life’s stresses piling up on me right now, this out-of-body experience seemed to be influenced by my emotional undercurrents. Stressful thoughts had planted themselves firmly in my mind, subtly guiding my journey. Our travels sometimes reflect our inner turmoil and the challenges we face in waking life.
I created the image above of the beast using Photoshop AI, capturing as closely as possible what I saw and experienced in the dark realm. To reach my destination, I had to fly between the beast and the lead wall in the picture. While I don’t yet understand the significance of the wall being made of lead, it was unmistakable in my mind.
The experience began without warning. One moment I was lying in bed, trying to let go of the day’s tensions, and the next, I found myself being propelled through dimensions at an incredible speed. Each layer of density I passed through came with its own distinct energy and feeling. It’s hard to describe just how vivid the sensations were—a mix of subtle vibrations, shifting pressures, and a unique emotional essence with each transition through the dense energy layers.
As I continued, the momentum seemed unstoppable until suddenly, I was at the lower astral realms, where everything slowed dramatically. The air felt thick, almost resistant, like I was pushing through something dense and sluggish. It was here that I encountered something truly unsettling—a massive, dark brown creature, raised high on its hind legs. Its presence dominated the space and sent an undeniable chill through me. The beast had an aura of control, the kind that spoke of years, maybe centuries, ruling over this area in the dark realm.
The inhabitants of this lower astral zone were gripped by terror, their collective fear saturating the atmosphere and making it even more oppressive. For reasons tied to their own choices, they had settled in this realm, manifesting the beast as an embodiment of their shared fears. Apparently, my own emotional state had drawn me to this place, aligning me with the fears of these people. As I flew past, I could feel their dread resonating through me, adding to the tension of the moment.
I had to pass by the creature and the moment was tense. As I maneuvered through the narrow space between a thick, silver, lead wall on one side and the towering beast on the other side. I could feel the rough hairs from the creature brushing against me as I rushed past. It took everything in me to remain focused and maintain speed.
The instant I cleared the beast, a wave of relief washed over me. The energy shifted as if I had broken through an invisible barrier. I drifted on a warm current that felt soothing, almost like being cradled by a gentle breeze. For a while, I simply floated, letting the calm envelop me. It was a moment of quiet, a chance to gather myself before returning to my body, which lay quietly in my bed.
As I reflected on this experience this morning, I realized that it was likely my guides had brought me to the dark realm to face the beast so that I could understand that, just as I managed to fly past it, I will navigate through this stressful time in my life. This OBE is an example of how our spiritual guides send messages and guidance to get us through our physical lives.
