Hi thank you for responding , and thank you for the insight it truly has left me a lot to ponder on , and yes I agree my experiences with the shadow people weren ' t the typical of them trying to scare me it was just like they were there and I was there with them and the only time it would get creepy was when they noticed that I could see them and they would linger like just stand there or move things around and etc the only time it got scary was once and that was the last time I saw them when I begged God to take them away was Catholic at the time but as to my interesting experiences . here are a few I remember once I was sitting at home and was on the internet and had learned about things called spirit guides and always wondered what they were like so I remember sitting down and closing my eyes and just repeating non stop like a mantra I want to meet my spirit guides I continued to repeat this and as usual when I start to meditate its almost this floating feeling that I get which is how I know that I ' m actually starting to enter a meditative state and I remember as I started to float up that I got pulled into this area where I just felt like no walls nothing , felt like everything was boundless and white idk how to explain it just felt like I was nowhere and then I remember feeling my body lose shape and my vision became different . like I could see myself but not through my eyes almost like I could see through a mirror as I could see all of me but it was through me first person . its hard to explain just basically I could see my whole body in my mind . and as I stared at myself I started to see myself as different people , and then it started to speed up the changing of my body and I could see myself as different animals and then species of things Ive never seen , and I remember seeing myself as something quite scary what you would almost consider demonisque and I remember in that instance feeling a presence come besides me and not through words but rather through an emotion that I would be fine , and I remember I went through this process until I heard a voice say now you see and then thats when I came out of this trancemeditation . i think I know what it means but have yet to fully understand it as to another I remember coming home after work and heading to my room and laid down I remember closing my eyes and getting this feeling of being floated up , in this instance I realized that I wasnt dreaming and more rather detaching so I kind of freaked out and woke myself up I remember feeling really buzzy after I started to get up I thought to myself I shoulld see this through . so I laid down and almost instantly I felt myself going up but it was very different this time as almost instantly I noticed I had no body and in that same instance I remember being in area that was pure dark and not having a body , as I started to get scared I realized a vibration around me as I focused on this vibration I started to see things differently almost like a vibrating pattern around me and as that pattern grew I remember this sudden bright light come forward , it was a yellowishgoldenwhite light and the light was massive as I remember almost being blinded but I couldnt since all of this felt like I was seeing it through my mind . as the light overtook everything I remember a figure who I could see any details of come from the source of this light and touch my head and in that moment I was awakened and brought out of that tranceexperience . These are a few of my meditation experiences any insight would be greatly appreciated as these stick out and cause me to try and figure out what they mean . also I should add I havent meditated in over a year , as whenever I meditate i feel different and I think in part because I don ' t have anyone to talk too or explain these experiences I get frustrated and feel like Im going crazy so I just stick to not doing them .
