hi I am new and only found this site when i was trolling through the net to try and explain what i have been seeing for the last 3 years. as far as i
am aware i don't have a sleeping disorder (people are quite jealous that i can asleep anywhere) and I am not on drugs - prescribed nor recreational.
I also am not afraid of spiders - apart from the normal ugghhh feeling if you find something crawling on you that shouldn't be there. I pick up
spiders and put them outside and the bigger ones I catch in a glass and remove them from the house. Now I have been living at my current address for
three years - maybe just over and have noticed that spiders tend to accumulate around my room and especially over my bed. I have two mosquito nets up
and usually this stops them from getting above me but i still get the occasional one. At first just before i go to sleep I'd see a long legged
spider coming down from the ceiling at me and when i wake up i see them suddenly reverse and go upwards. Some were real but others just seem to
disappear. they are always normal size. Some people told me it was my eyelashes that i was seeing and others just say its the sleeping disorder. In
the last year i have been waking up in the middle of the night and finding not one but two. One coming from the ceiling and one on the opposite
pillow. I am loathe to say this but it seems like they are sitting there watching me. I know it sounds crazy and i probably am but you see when i
look for these spiders i can never find them. I even have taken my whole bed apart and they seem to be getting bigger and blacker. My room is quite
light so when i open my eyes i can see them very clearly. I do have quite a few dream catchers in my room and love all american indian pictures, etc.
I'm not sure if this is my subconscious trying to tell me something or I am actually seeing this phenomenon for real. anyways thanks for posting
this thread. makes me feel slightly better about myself.

do you have the means to set up a camera to record while you go to sleep ? Just put it on a shelf or any other place so that it can film the bed and the place where you usually see those spiders .. IF they are a common ocurance at yor place this would be a good way to finally catch the little buggers on tape

i only have a web cam built into my mac. Last night i decided to do my night time chakra clearing (i normally only do the morning one) - sorry this is slightly off topic ... but there is a point. Anyway i got it started on the computer and went to bed All lights out. About 10 minutes into the cd my computer turned itself off and my bedside lamp turned itself on (it is one of those touch ones). Now the weird thing is that the computer and my lamp are not even plugged on at the same wall nor are they on the same circuit. I checked all other electrical equipment around the house and nothing else had been affected. I was so freaked out by it that i brought my flatmates two dogs into the bedroom with me and let them sleep at the foot of my bed. The little one growled (i mean deep growling) a couple of times (which she never does - she's a barker) and I finally feel asleep. The thing is I'm kind of used to lights coming on around me (tends to happen to me quite a bit - specially in the room i sleep in when i go up north to see the family) - I'm way to old to have it be the poltergeist activity teenagers or kids can get - but my mum rang me this morning and told me the room I sleep in last night had the door open (its a sliding door which opens out to the driveway) and the touch lamp had come on sometime in the night - when i sleep there i always leave it open during the night as i love to look at the night sky and feel the breeze and the light comes on by itself when I'm there or usually just before i turn up or a few days after i leave. Now my mum is definitely anal about checking things before she goes to bed so i thought it was just a tad coincidental. I'm too chicken right now to try the night chakra clearing again cause that really gave me a bad vibe. I did not see the spiders last night as i was so tired i slept til 6am. Even typing this stuff it is starting to scare me again and it really does take alot to get me going. I think it was just the really bad vibe i got from the whole thing - very threatening - so crazy or not - i certainly didn't dream that. I'll see if i can borrow a camera from one of my mates - one that has night vision and i'll keep you posted - though at this point I'd really rather have the spiders back as they were never threatening just a little shocking seeing them so close

Don't worry about what other people say Sethdarke, I personally saw all sorts of ethereal or shadow creatures during this one period in my life for about 2-3 weeks, then one day it disappeared.
But I don't think it was a hallucination induced by a mixture of sleeping disorder and phobias. I personally have no fear creatures I saw (spiders, crow, rat), I'm actually all fascinated with those animals, and the doctors said I'm a pretty fit and healthy bloke.
I personally believe that our mind is programmed to block out or suppresses these other worldly entities. I assume it probably did so because images such as ethereal spiders can be psychologically traumatizing to our ancestors. However overtime, or through practice our abilities to block out these entities just simply goes away. There is a reason why people stress the importance to heighten one's awareness.
As for my personal account, the ethereal spider I encountered or witness were about the size of a baseball, completely black, has this black hazy or smoke image to it, and moved swiftly crawled down one side of the wall, I'd say within a fraction of a second.
As for the crow, I'd say I had a good look of it for about one second. It swooped across my room, from the top corner of two adjacent walls down under my table and disappeared through the wall.
The rat was actually quite interesting, I actually had about a two-three second encounter with it. I was walking down the stairs from the second floor of my house to the first, when I eye followed this dark figure popping out the wall and I soon gave chase to it from the living room to the kitchen, where it ran and disappeared into the kitchen counter.
I believe after that I never saw them as vividly or often again, but from time to time I do see something moving at the corner of my eyes. The reason why I can't experience these things anymore is partly my fault, I was to wrapped around my busy college life that I just pretty much lost sight for the paranormal, or I didn't put in enough time as I used to in high school.

Related post experience pleas read my post too.

Anyway as I was getting into this tent or getting it ready I thought ok there are probably spiders in here but did not see one.
Next to my bed in a semi-awake mode reality I thought I heard a rattling or movement.
So I woke up. What I saw was a spider on a long web from wardrobe to the wall of the head of the bed.
But I woke my self up by now. The thing was I could see a spider next to my bed and I was awake. So I went to touch it but could not get it, so being a dream was I awake or asleep? I was conscious enough to think and know what was going on and I tried to see what the spider would do, basically as started touching it began to pixel up into grey mini spirals. Its like I was able to touch my own dream awake and felt like an overlapping of reality. I know probably drugs could do the same thing to the mind but this was without influence and the nearest one can be conscious and awake yet knowing you are not asleep anymore. People say dreaming is like going to other realities and all sorts who knows but it was kind off nice but strange and yet observable without having to regress some memory.
