In college, I was having a very rough time, and decided to do some more astral projection exercises to try and make sense of my life. I got the buzzing after a short while of practice, and what happened next scared me more than a little.
My entire room looked dark, darker than normal in the early morning. However, I was clearly able to see a shadowy figure at the foot of my bed.
The next few seconds were strange, because I saw the shadow person start to run for me, but it was done frame by frame, like a slide show projection.
The first frame, it was at the foot of the bed. The next it was running around it, the next it was a foot away, then six inches, then two.
I got scared then and forcefully ended the experience, and my normal room rushed back in to greet me.
My unofficial astral projection trainer, Anne Varnes, told me in email that I was probably too without energy to complete a projection. However, I had enough energy to flit into the astral realm only second by second, so I recalled a frame-by-frame experience with the shadow person as a result, rather than with full time vision.
I don't know who that person was, but she said it could just have sooner been an old friend rushing to greet me as it was something nasty from my own psyche trying to test me. I still don't know who or what it was, but judging by the state of my life then, the latter seems very plausible. My projections up to that point had almost all been shrouded in darkness.
