One thing I'm wondering about is the type of experience where you wake up, or 'something' wakes you up. And when you've awoken you meet someone or something, either a spirit who might be good or might be bad. But then after the 'experience' you either wake up for real to discover that everything in the room is just the same as it was in the "dream". So it is as though the experience was real but experienced in a different state of consciousness. In another of these dreams, at the end of the 'meeting' I simply went back to sleep. Both of these dreams I've had were completely realistic. After the bad one, I experienced other things in waking life that seemed to be related and I am certain it was a kind of spiritual attack on me.

Or dreams when I have been 'wandering' and they seemed so real in every way.

However I have to wonder were these dreams simply tricks of my mind????????

I have many kinds of psychic experiences and a lot of this happens in dreams. Some of them I can't deny at all. Such as when I have shared dreams with another person (this has happened to me on several occasions where I've dreamed the same thing as somebody else - once I even finished a dream that someone else had started, as though I picked up the thread and took over where she had left off). Or when I have a dream that is somehow a premonition.

And is everything else spiritual or supernatural that we experience simply a mind trick by our subconscious? eg if you see or hear a ghost or spirit... or if you see an elemental... or anything like that. Are they all simply projections of our subconscious? Hallucinations??

I don't know why I've been thrown into doubt about these things, after I believed so much in an astral plane where we can meet or see others who are there, either because they're dreaming or because they might be a spirit.
