Re: hitchhiker- from the 'Ask Robert' section.
In addition to CF's wise comments, some excerpts from Kurt Leland's Otherwhere: A Field Guide to Non-physical Reality for the Out-Of-Body Traveller. This advice has made perfect sense in the light of my own experiences on a couple of occasions. It requires a bit of introspection on your part.
There are a variety of ways to deal with creatures when one comes across them. [Robert] Monroe's response was to return to his body....Direct confrontation is another method. Wrestling to the point of exhaustion can indicate a troublesome emotion that created the creature has been purged.
....Because nonphysical reality responds to one's thoughts, one can will the Creatures to vanish , or transform them into something else. However recognition of what they represent may be necessary before such changes can occur.
After returning to physical reality from an encounter with a Creature, one's description and interpretation of the experience may help one figure out what emotions the creature embodied. The function of the creature will provide clues: whether it clings, drains one's energy, pursues, torments, or attacks. If possible, one should identify the real-life source of these emotions and find some way to release them.
I've learned that any unexpressed emotion can appear to me as a Creature in non-physical reality. The only way I can avoid encounters with such creatures is to avoid repressing what I feel in physical reality. (pp64-65, Hampton Roads Publishing, 2001).
