We're On A Roll Here Options

The past 4 or 5 nights have been very very odd. The biggest "oddity" is my inability to sleep at night. I'm tired, but I cannot sleep until the sun starts to come up. I don't feel comfortable at night anymore. I want to be around people, but I don't. I don't want to be in my rooms, but I do.

Three nights ago I was laying in my bed reading, my cat Chloe was sleeping next to me, and on my right side, a face appeared by my book. Caught completely off gaurd, it spooked me.

Everytime I'm about to close my eyes, shortly after I turn my lamp out, fear begins to well up and I have to turn that lamp back on as fast as I can.

By the bedroom door, there are always these black orbs at night, twice I've seen them during the day. The head of my bed faces the door, so I can't help but see them.

Since I've moved into this house, I've always seen this little ball of white floating on the ground upstairs, which never bothered me because I know it's my roommates old dog, Tilly. She loved the upstairs, so she hangs here often. But tonight, when I sat down at my computer, I Really saw her. At first I thought it was Chloe sneaking underneath the chair so she can sit in her usual spot before my feet. But she never sat there....it was Tilly.

That very peaceful lucid state you reach right before falling asleep has been ridiculously noisy for me as of late too. Everytime, I hear voices yelling. Just one or two words at a time, enough to snap me back to full conciousness. This morning it was a mans' voice. I've never heard a mans' voice before, always they where female.

When I walk between the two houses at night, I'm friggen scared. I've never been scared of the dark until recently. I seriously don't understand what's going on here. It could be due to the full moon, but activity like this has happened to me before and it's never freaked me out so much as it is now. I can't stand not having a light on anymore. Chloe isn't frightened everytime these appearances occur, which I know should be a consolation, but it's not helping.

That fear is a tight coil in my tummy, and it happens at any given moment, mostly at night.

I have a long history in Wicca and witchcraft, and could very easily cast a few spells around here. My roommate is certainly cool with that idea, but I don't think she would be too cool to learn that I'm being haunted by....things. She spooks very easily, she can see and talk to the deceased, and it really upsets her sometimes. So bringing this up right now wouldn't be too wise, y'know?

What my point really is, is anyone else experiencing an increase in activity? Because I really don't want to feel alone in this right now. And if anyone can suggest possible causes, it would seriously be greatly appreciatted. I would rather exhaust every other means before resorting to spell work for this one.

Namaste

Well, for one thing, the autumnal equinox is coming up, the full moon is tonight and you've probably been 'stretching' your mind abit lately. All would be conducive to heightened perception. I've noticed a spotty rise in activity over the past week and a half. Similarily I get the conversations and sometimes bits of music...though 'they' say that it's just that I'm getting senile!
If you are feeling that all this is getting out of control, pour abit of vinegar into a dish and place it in your bedroom. The mild acid of the evaporating cinegar (acetic acid) has a real effect on 'dampeding' psychic materializations and so does salted water in a lesser degree. This method works more mechanically/chemically so ut us effective without use of spells. The hanging of garlic and onions bear this out...the alliums perform quite like the acid...
When I joined this and another occult forum I experienced various phenomena for awhile. Whether or not this was merely psychological or psychic didn't matter...I needed sleep! A simple banishing OR a couple of aura strengthening exercises should do the trick.
'Black orbs' don't sound very nice. Thoughtform bubbles? The fear is obsessive and you should try to quell it. There are some nasty astral forms that like to inspire fear in you to feed off the negative emotions. To see one in the day is unusual as these little buggers prefer darkness.
Perhaps some really positive activities to scare away the night demons...? I'm not being cutsy (intentionally) with all this. Good luck! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/00000037.gif)
