Things I Experienced when Starting to Develop my Psychic Abilities: Sleep Paralysis, Dark Spirits, Nightmares, and Sleeping on the Job

Hello Beautiful People,

I decided to write about what I experienced when I started to develop my psychic abilities. A lot happened but I am picking just a handful of items to address at this time and will be broken up into three entries. This is the third entry for this series. If you missed the other two here are the links to them:

Psychic Vampires, energy drainers, and needy people, oh my!
Anxiety around crowds, psychic poisoning, and being a bitch.

*Disclaimer*
This is information that I have found to help me on my spiritual path. I do not claim any of this information to be my own techniques or lessons. I have given you a reference of books in order for you to read and make a decision for yourself. I am not claiming that this applies to every person or situation. Please read with an open heart and willing to find an answer on your own through the power of your own experience. 

Sleep paralysis, dark spirits, nightmares, and sleeping on the job.
​

There will come a time when you will wake up after a good night sleep and feel as if you ran a marathon. I could not figure out why this was happening when I first started on my journey. I would wake up groggy and feeling out of sync. Well, I found out from a podcast called “The Psychic Teachers”, after many years of wondering, that there are some Lightworkers who go out while they sleep and aid other people spiritually. The advice they gave was to simply ask your spirit guides/angel/spirits to maybe back off a little and only do it every so often. I tried it and guess what? It worked! So my advice comes from the message of someone else named Samantha Fey.

Understand that not every person is a Nightworker. A lot of the times people have restless nights due to spirits trying to speak to us and give us messages. This leads me into sleep paralysis. So many times I would feel as if something, or someone, was holding me down. I worked through this by stating, to the entity, that I am stronger than they are, or casting the spirit out of my house, and protecting the hell out of my room. I have come to find out by my spiritual teacher that this is simply a spirit trying to talk to you, and since we are not aware at the time of sleep, we can have the experience of sleep paralysis.
Eventually when I started to work with the spirits, and really build a relationship with them, the experiences got to be less and less. The big thing to remember is to work through it. Do not be afraid to talk to the spirits and say “Hey! Leave me alone” or “Can you talk to me when I am awake”. Do not be afraid to set boundaries with the spirit world or to set boundaries on your psychic abilities. You are barely starting out, and with every new skill, you have to practice in a safe environment.

When it comes to nightmares, I had to learn to process the information being given. I had to really meditate on what the symbols and signs meant within the dream. A nightmare is simply a bad dream, or rather, a dream that is showing us what we choose to not face in our everyday life and in sleep.

My advice is simple:
analyze what is being presented to you and make sure you are constantly working on your spiritual practice.

Whew.
I am nearly done with this entry. One last item to address.
Dark spirits.
Are they really dark?
Well there can be some nasties that hang around when new found power is being used or growing. They like to see what all the hub bub is and why there is so much light where there was none before. When I started to read “The Inner Temple of Witchcraft” by Christopher Penczak, he explained why there are dark energies that linger around a new witch.

He basically states that with new found power the light becomes brighter, in time the little nasties fade away, leaving the new witch alone as she develops her gift. I am stating the same thing to you. When you first start out on your psychic ability journey, you will find that there may be spirits that linger around or try to offset you by playing tricks and such. Remember to ask them to leave you alone nicely and if that doesn’t work then you have every right to say “Get the fuck out of my house!”
I would definitely set up wards around your house (which Christopher Penczak teaches in his book) and smudge the shit out of it.
There is nothing in the rule book that states you have to put up with mischievous spirits. Also call in your spirit guides to protect you and watch over you.
 
I have been there. I was afraid at one time and almost gave up on my spiritual journey because of weird things that were happening. Without a teacher or another person to say “Hey that has happened to me too and this is how I dealt with it”, our journey can be dark and scary. It will send you into defense mode and you may want to just give it up.
Do not give up on your gifts!
​Keep going and know that you have every right to set boundaries with the spirit world.
 
Until next time.
Blessed Be,
Aaron

Dear Aaron, Thank you.
I have recently like around 1yr have been hearing, real sounds of people communicating with me from my left ear outside medium and sometimes from inside my head aura,and sometimes outside through a medium insect.
I first tried to listen to them ,
For months I have tried to identify ,who they are ,it seems I have somehow opened a door to them , I don't know why ,but they disturb my sleep, my work they communicate through the other guy mouth with out his knowledge it seems.
Still struggling to manage but so far my solutions is to go to a park or mountain with little people, silence.
You can share me how you managed if you have this clairvoyance issue.
Thank you.
Teddy

Teddy,

This happens to a lot of people who first start out with their new found abilities. I would suggest meditation and asking the spirit world to work with you to strengthen your ability and help you understand. You can also ask the spirit world to help you with your ability as well. The spirit world is not here to cause us fear or doubt. The spirit world is here to help us. Try to meditate more and sit in your power, blend with the spirit world, and build that relationship with them. If you keep picking up negative information then you are more than likely working with a memory or an apparition from the past.
I hope this helps.

Hi Aaron,

I was wondering if you could help me out with what's been going on with me lately. I've had sleep paralysis in the past before, but I never saw figures or anything like that; just that I couldn't speak or move. Well now I'm 28 and just recently I had the most terrifying experience of sleep paralysis where I opened my eyes and tried to put on my glasses, but I couldn't move, then my eyes sideglanced to my bedroom door and as I was looking, a dramatic violin sound that you usually hear in horror movies played in my head, and I saw a tall guy with a top hat in a pure white silhouette walk in and I shot up. It was so vivid and scary that now I have a hard time falling asleep. Is there any advice you can give to help me sleep better at night?

Thank you, Krystal.

My advice is to work with your spirit guides and ask them to protect you while you sleep. Ask Spirit to ease up a little bit. Have you been trying to open your psychic abilities or maybe started a journey with mediumship. when we start to open up to Spirit, they can sometimes try to get close to us in order to speak to us. A spiritual teacher would tell me that sleep paralysis is a form of test for a witch or spiritual person. As if to see if we are strong enough to move forward on our journey. I have had several experiences in my past when i first started out on my journey, but one night I found myself casting what ever spirit was around me, out of the house. Ever since then nothing has happened, but I also have grown spiritually and learned to protect my house and sacred space.

Every time I had my birthday, I make sure to go to fortune tellers and ask about my future. My aunt loves hearing advice from fortune tellers that is why she believed that hearing it is not bad at all and she used to bring me there. Somehow it is entertaining. It cannot be defined by the science, but I guess listening and believing would not hurt anyone so I gave it a try. Being extra careful really helps me in my daily life.

Hello Edubirdie,

A good reading will set you up for the year or coming months. It will at least advise us on the bumps and road blocks that may happen on our spiritual journey. At least if you get great news you can start to manifest it into your life. Blessed be.

Hello!

Great article, I have experienced a few of these.

Lately, whether in the middle of the night or morning .. in the moment that I am halfway awake, I feel that there is someone in my room and walking away leaving. It’s always a different person and for a moment I get freaked out because in my mind there is someone in my room. Very weird.. I’ve also for a few years been experiencing being woken up in the middle of the night by fast whispering in my ear (the first time it happened it felt as if my shirt was also being pulled) A few months ago I was woken up by loud whispering sounds and when I was in the in between state, I saw 4 shadows around my bed and sunken into the bed. I wasn’t scared in the moment and I went back to sleep afterwards.. but the next day I was a bit upset and said it needed to stop. So it hasn’t happened again since. I can’t understand what the whispering is saying.

Please let me know your thoughts,
Thank you!!!

The spirit world was trying to communicate with you. This happens sometimes when I am half asleep and half awake also. You can also ask the spirit world to back off a little or help you in understanding them. Sitting and blending with spirit for half an hour or an hour a day if possible will help you build a better connection to them. Also talk to your guides and ask them to help you connect better with the spirit world when you are awake. I hope this helps! Thank you for reading my article!

I’m not sure if I’m a psychic or anything, I’m trying to find closure for my reoccurring nightmares; I started getting really into astrology and crystals, tarot cards, etc and I’ve always felt like I was an empath. I used to hear voices as a kid and suffer from sleep paralysis but it wasn’t until the last few months that everything because so extreme when I really got into these things. I would see things out of the corners of my eyes; I couldn’t sleep unless there were lights on all around me. Even then, I would feel stuff watching me. Night after night I had terrible nightmares, not your normal everyday stuff. It would even happen as I took naps. I laid with my boyfriend one day and drifted into a nap and in my dream I look up to talk to him and there were maggots and bugs crawling out around his face and mouth. The morning after I get up for work and go downstairs to get clothes and I was at the top of the steps when I heard a girls voice say “over here” and could feel her in my ear. The night after I had sleep paralysis again, I watched something walk by me in a dream and all of a sudden it was on top of me, this evil demonic voice talking to
Me through my head, it held me there, in my head, at first I couldn’t hear what it was saying but the only word I could was “remember” I woke up and I ran downstairs in a flee and tried to go to sleep, I started praying and as I did my ears began to ring and all I could hear in my head was the word no. I deleted my astrology apps and started praying every night and as an 18 year old I sleep in the same room as my grandma, and with a light and tv on at all times; while my boyfriend sleeps on the phone with me. I’ve only had a few nightmares since I started doing this, nothing near like it was. I was wondering if there was anything you could tell me, or if this is a normal thing. This thing haunted me for months, in the dark, until I changed how I slept, but sometimes I feel it, but only when I’m alone.

This will happen at time because you are in the beginning stages of developing your abilities. At this point I would say that you can probably see the dead or talk to them. I would suggest asking the spirit world to leave you alone, if you don't want to develop that skill, or ask them to help you by not allowing certain spirits to bother you while you sleep. Because you have not set any boundaries with the spirit world, they are trying to talk to you, and sometimes the lower level spirits will try to make contact. If you want to give up on developing your psychic abilities, then I would suggest turning to a religion or belief you are comfortable with to keep on your spiritual path. If you choose to keep developing your abilities, then some high vibration crystals and an alter set up near you will protect you. Always remember that you can state to them in the dream world "I am light" and they should go away. You are power and set the rules in this reality. Many Blessings.
