Robert,

Thank you for your willingness to share your knowledge.

I began meditating back in January of this year. In March, I began to see things during the night.

I wake up and sometimes the image is three-dimensional and motionless. Othertimes, the 3-D image moves, for example, one night I woke up and saw a teenaged boy wearing a basketball uniform. He was standing with a basketball under one arm. He seemed to be looking right at me, and he seemed to move as if on an invisible conveyor belt across my room. More frequently, I will wake up and see images projected onto my walls or ceilings. Very often I will see a highly-detailed map. Sometimes I can actually get out of bed, walk over to the map and study it. Last night, I saw glowing words on both my walls. They were in all-caps, but I couldn't decipher the message.

I would like to know whether these pictures are actual visions related to my spiritual study or some sort of symptom of a sleep disorder? Obviously, I am hoping they are the former.

Thank you in advance.

Marie
