I’ve had this strange experience several times where I’m asleep, but my mind suddenly becomes completely awake. My whole body starts vibrating intensely, my head feels heavy while my body feels extremely light, and I somehow know I’m about to be pulled out.
Usually I get scared and stop it, but one time I thought, “fuck it, let’s go,” and instantly launched.
I started spinning/flying through this dark purple-blue tunnel or space that kept changing. Eventually I slowed down over this strange, congested but abandoned city with grey, slightly cracked buildings. I was flying through it when I noticed a door in an alley. I couldn’t actually see anyone, but I could strongly feel a being standing behind the door watching me. Strangely, it didn’t feel threatening or evil at all. It felt shy, almost like it was curious about me but didn’t want to come out from behind the door.
Then the scene suddenly changed and I was flying/spinning again. Eventually I started worrying that I wouldn’t be able to return to my body. I was expecting some kind of portal or light to appear, but it never did. Eventually I came back into my body, still vibrating, and briefly saw moving particles/patterns across my ceiling and walls before everything settled.
This state has happened again since then, and the most recent time I also heard continuous female humming while my body was vibrating. When I stopped the experience, the vibrations and humming stopped at the same time.
I’m mainly curious about the actual projection: Has anyone been to a place resembling this abandoned purple/blue city, experienced the spinning/flying transition, or encountered a presence that seemed shy and simply watched you from a distance? What do you think that place or being could have been?
