Hi, Last friday this happened to me, I thought i'd post it and get some feed back but also to warn people.
After discussing a bit about outer body experiences on ATS forums I was lying in bed and thought i'd experiment a bit more. I found i could get to a state where i was more aware of the energy of the people in the house which had previously been a random event i cant control. Anyway i was experimenting and getting a bit out of my depth. I feel asleep while still in this state and started to have a lucid dream.
In my dream i was sitting in a room with friends around me. Out of nowhere a voice proclaimed that 'satan has been summoned to the room'. this freaked me out and it was immediatly apparent that i was the 'target' for lack of a better word. A very dark and evil presence was felt by all. My friends around me tried to get me out of the chair but it kept on 'warping'(hard to describe this part) around to keep me out of reach. As this evil entity's control of me increased it started ripping me out of the dimension. I remember selfishly grabbing someones hand on the way.
I felt myself being pulled closer and closer to this evil, it actually felt like it had its hand around me. I started saying over and over, 'Go back, go back'. Then i woke up.
This is where # got wierd. I was awake and the evil thing( im actually still having trouble even thinking the name Satan) was still in front of me and it felt like i had seconds before he had me completly. I couldnt move either. Then i saw what i immediatly recognised as Mary standing to my left. She made it clear to me what i had to do. she didnt say anything, it was more a kind command or like, i knowledge of what i had to do. she put her hands together and it was like,
'Start praying NOW!. im helping but it wont be enough if you dont do something too'.
My hands came free and i started to pray. the evil retreated fully after around ten minutes. Thats when i noticed the man to my right. I couldnt identify him but he was obviously gaurding me. then i was shown a chest of some sort. This is the part i still dont undertand. It was big, think of the size of a fridge. it was intricatly designed and had keyholes on it. I got the impression it represented knowledge but im still not sure...
The whole thing lasted around 40mins from falling asleep to being able to move again. I woke up my mother i was so freaked out and learned that around twenty minutes before i woke her she had passed my room on the way to the toilet. she told me that while she was walking by she got a sudden feeling that i was in danger and asked arch-angel micheal and Mary to watch over me!
This whole experience has shaken me and i feel i cant right it off as a dream because i was clearly awake for part of it.
The two reasons for posting this are to get you're opinions on this and also to warn about getting out of your depth in such matters.

Sorry to say this but sounds like your religious upbringing and convictions or perhaps just the guilt of experiencing something new and what your mind feels forbidding, prompted you to have a guilty religious response, also watching to many exorcist movies will do that.

It happens, it happen to me before I learn to free my spirit.

I am still here neither "Satan" or "hell" has come to claim me and to tell you the truth the experiences are more spiritual that any religious believes and teachings ever been.

Im with Marg on this,the same sort of thing has happened to me.In fact it happened 3 times getting stronger each time but now they dont even think about coming near me.There just trying it on friend,stay strong in your love and nothin can touch you.You without really being aware of it kinda put your hand up and dark entitys decided to have a go.Dont despair,it just means that you are growing

Try not to fall asleep when trying to project, in my experience that's when the really freaky stuff happens. Although to be fair, they're usually the most exciting and memorable experiences.
Best to keep going with it and not to get scared of it. I've been in bad situations where I've started praying and stuff and thought I was going to end up dead. After thirty years of projecting and viewing and weird stuff I'm still here.
The scary trips are just part of the fun.

I once had a dream where the Devil had me by the wrist pulling me, I woke up and I was holding my own wrist.

Now that explains it on many levels as the above poster mentioned.
Nothing to fear but fear itself.

Typo affecting what I said!

Arrogant nonesense. You cannot possibly know what the poster experienced.

HanoverFat, know that nothing can hurt you unless you give your power away. It takes time to develop the awareness. You are endowed with your own will and sovereignty. At first you will reach out for help with prayer, but the true power is always within.

First of all many of you know that I am not religious, but I do not argue with many things the Bible talks about.

It is for better or worse a history book.

Anyhow, I had this dream I was walking on water towards mother Mary. It freaked me out. I kept thinking to myself WTF? But days were moving fast, about seven days or so had passed within a couple of minutes. I kept focusing on Mary and it was not a statue of her, but she looked like she does in most statues. Anyways I was overwhelmed and I stopped and rested on this rock and this huge wave came and washed me back into the water where I walked back to shore.

Anyways, a couple years ago I came across the actual place I think online, I am having trouble remembering, but its in greece I think, there is a little platform with roman architecture and pillars, a historical sight that is a surrounded by mountains.

Quoted for truth. What I know now since my spiritual awakening, has taught me that you can still have a negative experience or be lied to etc. from a bad or some may call 'evil' entity, although I'm not sure where I stand on the whole good vs. evil stuff right now. I mean even though there is a lot of entities on the 2nd sphere that are willing to give out false information, it really doesn't seem to me that they are 'evil' so to speak. And they are only doing what they are required to do because of their laws... so I can't call them evil for doing what they are put there to do.

Honestly OP, you need to re-evaulate what your beliefs are. I don't hate on people for following religions, but you need to drop everything you believe in right now and figure things out for yourself if you want to deny ignorance and seek truth. But hey, no ones going to make you do that. If you want to have more positive experiences I suggest you try doing that though... I mean you can still have 'tough' experiences, but for the most part it may be a tough experience after a spiritual awakening because of all the knowledge you are being given, and learning. My first experience scared me a bit after it was over because I now knew things for fact that just hours before I hadn't, and it flipped my world upside down for a bit. But once you know what to do with the information (learning to integrate it into your life in positive ways), you'll be fine.

Good luck, and I hope 'satan' leaves ya alone. Just know there is no such thing as satan, but then again if you believe there is, then I guess there is one... at least in your world.

Have to agree that the religion instilled upon you in your past is raring its ugly head.

This is how I personally would have experienced the exact same situation.

"Satan has been summoned to the room."

I would find that humorous, and would welcome him. If I found I were a "target," I would go along with it.

Taoism and Zen Buddhism have convinced me to a very deep point that there is no such thing as "good" and "evil" and all experiences are relative. Thus what's good for somebody is bad for someone else and vice versa. Satan may be "evil" to millions of people but I bet he's having a JOLLY good time!

There is room in the this universe for everyone's beliefs to co-exist, and they do. The more emotional you feed your beliefs, the more real they become. Some very strange things have been manifested in this world, everything from what you describe, to airplanes manifesting overhead, even entire legions of Civil War ghost armies have been witnessed by many people.

If you want to pursue knowledge, I'm all for that. But feeding into fear is something I'm not very keen on, except for learning how fear operates. It is the opposite of love. Which is why I NEVER trust a fearful message, no matter what the apparent content.
