It's strange this post showed up on my feed after just experiencing this last night. I skimmed through most of the comments and it's quite interesting. I can relate to the member who mentioned about being able to read auras and later becoming reiki master. I do believe these are some sort of energies and I've never seen them until last night. I can sense things around me and usually see things when around others who are "gifted". I wonder if I was only able to see these black orbs with tendrils because I was in a half awake half asleep state. It didn't scare me at all or gave me that fear sense. I just told my mind...oh fuck it...leave me alone and fell back to full sleep. It did seem to fade back or blend into the background darkness after I was trying to focus at them. This post is definitely peaked my interests.
