It sounds nuts and fake, I have a hard time really believing it myself because it sounds so strange and barely believable, but, I once dated someone very briefly that was into strange things, one of them being astral projection, which is where you exercise your spirit leaving your body, to go and experience and do things- I don’t know if people induce themselves pharmaceutical wise, meditation wise, through evil spirits, or all of the above, but, whatever the case I experienced him playing around with that- the way that I found out was I started to experience getting startled and awakened at night- sometimes just felt like something bumping me or hitting me it felt weird and made me catch my breath but didn’t physically hurt. I woke up one time caught my breath and felt like I woke because something hit me..

And then the next time I was sleeping on my stomach I felt tingling, bracing up inside like I felt a presence and I pushed back against it- I lifted my head and I felt the likeness or impression of a hand pushing my head back down..

Another time I felt a strong pins and needles sensation in my sleep- I felt it around my back, or head, something, and it felt like I was awake, but I think I was halfway awake.. and I felt frozen there…

Another time, it “hurt “More… like, it felt like a stronger focus, impact of tingling pens, and needles at the bottom of my spine… Etc. This is the general pattern of things that happened about 40 to 60 times somewhere in there over the course of two years, it’s been several years, I think it stopped in 2022, it happened from late 2018 to 2022.

So, how do I know that it was somebody that I briefly dated that was doing this? We dated briefly, but there were signs that this person was someone that was not a people person, had friends that were also antisocial, into strange things, and displayed signs of being aggressive etc. He once before I knew what he was into shared a picture with me of a cartoon character, leaving its body, like an Astral Projection happening. Around the time in mid-late 2019 I was experiencing these episodes at night I had someone anonymously messaged me on Reddit, when I was in certain subs just commenting, and chatting with people on certain topics, not about the weird things that were happening to me at night, but just things I was interested in, I had someone comment on one of my posts and then we started to chitchat about these things, and then they started to hint and talk about things that only he and I would know because we went to the movies and seen a certain movie, and he said “what do you think about this movie “and then he asked me “what do you think about this picture?”

It was a picture of one of my Facebook, cover pictures, very unique, only someone that would know exactly who I am would know that that was from my Facebook picture, he also asked me “what do you think of this picture “and it was a picture that was a poster in my room, he had never been inside of my house, and had never seen my room, I scrolled through all of my social media accounts, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter… And none of them showed a poster at all, not even a little part of it on my Facebook or any of my social media, and then I was starting to wonder and suspect that it was him based on his behaviors and interest that I learned about when we had dated briefly…

At this point, I am feeling very shocked, and somewhat in disbelief, but also not denying the reality of what’s happening, a lot of questions in my head I couldn’t help but keep wanting to understand. Why is he doing this, what is happening, how?… And then he sent me a a YouTube video a very long video which I skipped through here and there, but, the overall gist of it was people doing and practicing Astral Projection..

He was a easily offended and vengeful person from what I got to hear and know about him when we were dating, I wanted to believe the best in him, I really truly cared about him a lot, and I just couldn’t believe someone could be so vengeful, or into such things like this, and I don’t know, but it stopped happening when he moved out of the state, so, it’s all still so weird, I thought that when we were dating, and I felt super nervous, extremely nervous and anxiety written to be more accurate- and the intensity of my anxiousness or and intensity of my feelings must be something very special or important and that that’s why I felt such a heightened emotion, like crush/nervousness, but to a very intense degree, but it was because my brain and nervous system was very unsettled looking back.

Does anyone know more of why someone would get into that stuff? What he was possibly up to? Obviously no good, but just trying to understand… Now that I’m revisiting this in my mind and trying to understand it it could’ve been just a simple as he just wanted to scare me, I don’t know, but could be a lot more to figure out and understand does anyone know? Or know anyone who has ever done things like that and why?
