Feeling of falling in darkness

[Spiritual]

What an amazing topictitle huh?

Anyways I've had these 3 experiences which are quite similar, but I haven't been able so far to discover what it's about. Not that I'm looking for a meaning in every dream, since often a dream or whatever, is just nothing special. (in my case anyways)

So I've had plenty of experiences of sleepwalking, nightmares and night terrors, so I've been through some weird **** in my nights, but these were different.

I was just sleeping and all of the sudden I became conscious of my dreaming or maybe I was just awake. But I had no vision and I felt like being in black space and being propelled to some outburst. It was like a train who starts to ride, faster and faster and then waiting for the moment where it explodes. But I as I became more and more conscious and waited for the explosion, nothing happened anymore and it just stopped.

I think this happened twice so far.

Another experience, which was a bit different from the previous was this.
Again I was sleeping and I became conscious of my body and me laying in my bed, I could feel the bed. But again I had the black space I was seeing and I felt like being thrown in an endless hole. But this time my body was pressed against my bed and I had quite some physical pain. But because I was conscious, I knew I could just best accept what was happening and give myself to whatever I experienced. Then after a while of falling, the pressure and pain, I heard a voice saying "I can go on with this forever". So I responded that there was no need for me to do so.

Then the pressure lifted and I was full awake again.

Hopefully someone shares similar experiences or possibly have some insight about what this was!

I've had a similar experience though not exactly the same, of hurtling through darkness at lightspeed and suddenly coming to a stop. Whenever I"m having an expereince that just stops I ask my guides to help me, or an angel. So far it has worked every time and they come, make themselves known to me, and either guide me back or guide me forward.

My motto is explore, explore, explore. I ain't been killed yet even though sometimes it feels like I'm dying.

Thanks Erin for your reply, much appreciated!

My experiences seem similar to yours then, but I had more of visual non-visuals. Hope this makes sense. I saw pure darkness, but more because of my vision being closed. So it was a lot of feeling and not much seeing. But maybe this was just another version of going at lightspeed through darkness, even though I kept myself from taking control, still there was no final or special ending.

And I can understand that you asked your guides/angels, since you work with yours that intensely. But to be honest I tried a long time to contact mine or find any form of information, and I got mostly nothing, except the normal talk of "we all got guides and protectors". Which I can accept ofcourse, but for me up until this day, I didn't get any clue that there are any "seperate" entities who are here to guide me or help me.
So this I why I didn't call for any help of guides.

Another thing I found interesting is that before the 2nd experience I wrote (with the pressure), before going to bed I tried to establish a contact with my guides by visualising a light beam coconing me and going upwards coconing the group of guides. It was just another experiment to see what happened.

I used that visualization for a few times, and on an other day I started seeing the most horrible visions with my mind's eye.

Again I was not scared, and I just accepted them as they came, but it was still weird. Seeing that when most people talk about protection, they talk about visualizing white light.

Even in my teens when I was astral projecting like no one's business I would often encounter dark energies. Even though I had guides. Even though I knew I could call upon them if necessary (and often did). Even though I put the white light around me. But for me I'd have to say I was sort of seeking these sorts of confrontations because using my astral sword was a lot of fun! There aren't too many times in your life you get to be Luke Skywalker so I grabbed every chance I could.

Just keep exploring. the rabbit hole is very deep.

Hahaha, always fun stuff to talk about! But ofcourse I want to keep discovering, so hopefully the next time it will go a step further. Thanks for the insights.
