Weird Waking Sensation.

I'm used to weird experiences while in the between sleeping and waking state, but this morning I had one whilst wide awake. I had just woken up and checked my watch and it was 8.30am. I felt fine, which I thought was strange because I'd gone to sleep after 3am and should by all rights have felt knackered. I lay back down and began to feel an strange sensation which reminded me of what I used to feel in horrid re-occuring nightmares when I was a kid, a kind of energy closing in and suffocating me. I thought how weird it was since I hadn't felt this for 20 odd years.

I began to feel what I can only describe as an inverted expansion of awareness, whereby my body and the space in it felt like a huge area which was without a defined border or depth. I've taken drugs years ago which gave me a heightened sense of external consciousness, in that my awareness felt as big as the room I was in, etc, but in this case everything external felt the same and yet my internal space was of an unfathomable size. The energy seemed to fill that space and I could feel it pulsating and shifting in a kind of restless and unsettled manner.

It didn't feel nice and had an unpleasant, slightly sinister feel to it.  I was calm and collected and decided to let it increase in intensity to see what happened, which led to a really powerful feeling of this thing's presence and it began to feel more and more like it was up to no good. I was in total control physically and I turned over a few times to see if it went away, which it didn't.

I then lay on my back and intended that I would not allow any negative entities to harrass me and that I would be protected from such. I also requested protection from higher positive entities and upon doing this the feeling began to diminish in intensity and after a couple of minutes it had completely disappeared.

What the hell was it?

I tried to think if I'd somehow attracted something bad through recent behaviour and thought patterns and it occured to me that I've been busy recently trying to encourage a suicidal friend to turn it around and develop some positivity in her life. Maybe whatever was feeding off her didn't like me trying to take its dinner plate away and decided to come and give me a kick up the ass?

Admittedly, I've also allowed my own guard to slip a little these past two days, whereby I've indulged in less than noble thoughts, so perhaps that's what attracted it? But although I've slipped many times previously, this has never happened before.

I'll definitely do some positive intending pre-sleep for the next few nights to safeguard against any repeat performances and I'll also get my act together so's to not attract anything else.

I'm not sure if it was just a neg trying it on, or if it was something altogether different. It certainly doesn't fit in with previous encounters and 8.30am seems to be late in the day for neg harrassment (I usually get middle of the night or very early morning jobs). Perhaps they've started working shifts?
