My experiences have became so strong since about a year ago in June 2002.  These occurrences happen mostly when I dream but also when I just laid down to relax fully awake but just with my eyes closed relaxing- seeing a series of various visions one jumping to the next, but those visions seem to be of other people's memories. However, every time I'm about to go to bed, I start remembering my past dreams (usually what I dreamed the night before) but there's been times when my past dreams come in continuously- one dream after another - that I'm able to tell my sister who I sleep with everything that comes to mind until I eventually fall asleep.

Please, I would like to tell you all - there have been so much more intense experiences.  Recently I fell asleep on the living couch face down.  I became conscious when I started to feel pressure on my upper body as if something was trying to suffocate me against the pillow.  Feeling paralyzed, I started to panic and forced myself to call out for my roommate so he can wake me up.  All the while, I was aware of my physical body laying down, my OOBE spirit body, and my astral perception viewing from the right upper corner of the room-all at the same time.  My spirit body was sitting up on/through my physical body on the couch. With my spirit body's eyes wide open, I saw my roommate walking from his room towards me.  As he woke me up, I intensely felt the last impression of my spirit body's eyes wide open seeing all this in astonishment. What was most amazing was my conscious awareness from all 3 perceptions. 

Last night I had a dream where I was aware of my surroundings in bed (again), but couldn't wake up.  There was a dark shadowy presence over me feeling all up on me - trying to rape me or something.  I was telling him to let me go...He  was holding down/restraining me and told me that he loves me, wants me, & won't let me go.  Repeatedly trying to waking up and I called out for my roommate-Josh ...but he didn't come/hear me.  I got tough like i do to get my way, and found myself almost fully waking up, but being sucked/drawn back in to sleep.  Until I felt myself awake, but wanting control and to face who/why/what it was in astral plane mode, I felt my astral body ascending with some hesitation, but just went into a dream.
