Dweller on the threshold, a side effect of sleep paralysis when it occurs before or after sleep, usually caused either by the dreaming mind being still 'on' when one wakes up paralyzed, or in the case of a partial projection, when the expanded energy body is perceived as "other", and then shaped by the fear that happens when the energy aspect reacts to that fear, causing an energy feedback loop that is only broken when the person comes out of paralysis (reintegrating inside the body) or when the person successfully projects their consciousness out and reintegrates with its expanded energy body, completing the projection. When this happens, usually the projection is short, because of the agitated state of mind of the experiencer, and the 'sudden' shift in location, and the fact that most of these things happen after a sleep cycle or projection.
A Dweller on the threshold that is encountered in the astral plane (or rather, on the threshold of the next plane one is on it's way to) may be a self aspect in the occult tradition, an aspect of a previous incarnation that has been rejected or ignored, that stands in the way of progress. It is symbolically handled to get to the next stage in various ways, opening the door of perception to the next thing. It can also be a helper that may be of a 'higher' or 'more advanced' aspect, helping you pass some sort of tests that shows you are ready for the next level.
