Hey all!

Thanks for your replies, they were actually a lot of help. After reading them, and looking up some things on OBE's, lucid dreaming and sleep paralysis, I can see now that what I was experiencing was simply sleep paralysis, or possible the "old hag" syndrome...I don't know much about that. But what I realized that it's fear of dying and the actual spiritual realm itself that is stopping me, so I am working on that...any tips?

One more thing. Since meditating after reading the replies I have been receiving many many more intuitions about things around me, and earlier memories. A lot of times, I find myself ACTUALLY BACK to some forgotten earlier childhood memories. What's really cool, though is that I remember feeling the same meditative way back then when I was younger. While in this state, I receive the intuition that I had these "powers," if you will, when I was a child, but they were not harnessed and developed, but the memories I am returning to were set by me unknowingly entering a meditative state as to kind of create a landmark to return to. Is this possible? I didn't have the best early life, and it actually creates emotional problems for me as an adult, but I have been trying to work on that. Could it be that this is a way for me to figure some things out, or may I be looking too far into things?
