I have started the trance work section of MAP and have been mediating regularly for a few months with varying results. I was wondering about some of the recurring hypnagogic imagary I see.
It starts as a kind of swirling redish cloud/mist for a lack of better words. From other material I have read I am to understand that is a natural biological function. Something about the optic nerves or such. But then I see faces start to appear. Like they are comming up out of water or sand. Only the water or sand is the red cloud/mist. I don't recognize any of the faces, and they usually fade or sink back into the hypnagogic background.
However, occasionaly, the faces look angry or in pain. Some almost look like they are screaming. It does not happen every time, I wouldn't even say it happens frequently but I find it is a bit disconcerting when it does. I have had other curious things happen but I was wondering if the faces, and more to the point, the disturbing faces are common or what that might mean?
As an addition curiousity, my 25 year old son has developed an interest in OBE and the required meditation and expresses a similar phenomenon.
