Restarting Cm., Noises in the night! Options

Greeting everyone. This is my first post hope I've put it in the right section. I've recently restarted CM, after a long break, although have practised withcraft during the last year, and have for the last couple of months started CM work by goig through QC, LBRP,MPR nothing to intense just building up again. However for the last four weeks or so generaly after my rituals I have started to hear noises at night, in my bedroom outside my door etc. I don't know if other people find this. The last time I did the LBRP, before I broke off my studies I remeber distinctly hearing laughing coming from the corner of the room, a little unsettling. Thats partly why I broke off my studies.

Since starting again apart from the noises, I've had something tug at my pillow, as I'm trying to get off to sleep, and during the night felt something on my bed, which was very un-nerving. I haven't felt threatened, and I don't feel there's a negative atmosphere around.

I don't feel this is normal, but I would like some advice on what these things could be. Have thought that doing the rituals has made me more sensitive to other things than before, but I don't know. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

I'm banishing rather than inviting anything in.

Thats what I thought, don't let Nero hear you call it a banishing ritual btw .lol.

In the first month of my taking up practice I had an encounter. As I was practicing at night I fell asleep after a banishing and had a dream/vision where I was in outer space. Someone was there infront of me and took to bashing an invisible barrier inbetween myself and him. It was as though I was in a tank of water and he was on the outside hitting the tank. He demanded that I opened, 'the' gate and commanded me to draw a set of signs I had never seen before. Obviously didn't do it but the signs he gave me were 'shown' in such a detail it couldn't be shrugged off as just another dream.

In banishing its as though we are clearing a fog or mist, drawing down energy and lighting ourselves up. Everything is seen on the astral, other dimensions and things get curious. Hence little nasties. If yours are getting physical then it may be the usual ley line 'problem' it seems like you're in a place where theres a certain energy. If these things are getting through you should be able to invoke and make manifest a few things, why not invoke Michael or a classic protectorate to help slay some demons? Could have some fun.
