The other day, I experienced another bout of sleep paralysis. This time was different though, because I could see around me. Perhaps it was a dream that shifted to something else. I was in a town, and I think Carrie was there, because I could hear her voice, but I didn’t see her. She said something about a voice, or something coming, I don’t remember exactly. And I looked over and saw a fog building, but localized, like they use on tv shows when things apparate for instance, or disappear. I decide I don’t want to find out what that is, and start running. I notice that there are medium sized trees along the street, like a newer subdivision, though I don’t see houses. At this point my awareness shifts and I’m trying to get my body to wake up. I was able to consciously try to relax a bit, and not ‘panic’ to get back to my body, but that didn’t last long. I’d like to get to the point where if I notice sleep paralysis, I can calmly find my way back, rather than it being an ordeal. I don’t want it to add trauma to the astral experience, hindering my ability to do it consciously later. But I think it’s ok, because I don’t wake up scared, and I’m not overly frightened during this experience.
Anyway, eventually I get back to my body. As I’m lying there, I have this visual of a person, who I thought was carrie even though they don’t physically look like her. There are points of bright white light at her head, hands, and feet, and perhaps stomach. Seeing that I think, maybe that will help me. As soon as I think about it, I feel my body get warm, and I know that my body has left. Very shortly after, I ‘hear’ this sound, what I imagine it would sound like for a rabbit to run thundering past my pillow. Then I feel this rush, as if the rabbit ran into the back of my head. So I believe I had my first conscious re-entry at least. It was very intense, and it took a bit to catch my breath after it happened. The sound I heard was also interesting, coming from in my head rather than my ears.
