Hi,
I read about the rope technique for inducing a trance, and later went to try it. However, shortly after I started 'pulling' myself upward, the anchor point of the rope turned into a giant black spider with yellow stripes. (think body bigger than me...I'm 5'9") Then I start getting jumped on and swarmed by a horde of other spiders. Some big like that one, but most about the size of a dinner plate. My first response is to try to fight them off, but it seems like for every one I destroy 2 more show up. Same goes for the descending technique, going down a ladder. After a few minutes, it's like I've entered a cave and I'm descending this ladder, then spiders start showing up. They don't swarm me as fast with that technique, but there is still a lot of them.
My question is this: Are these simply a phobia of mine coming to surface (funny thing is, real spiders bother me, but these ones are simply unpleasant...I feel they can't do much when I'm in that state), or are they these astral spiders I keep hearing about? And why are there so many of them?
BTW: I have quite often experienced waking paralysis without knowing what it was (I know now), in case you need to know.
