I get the wind thing too. It has been happening for years. Also always in that in between sleep and awake state. It still freaks me out sometimes. I also, sometimes hear a high pitched ringing noise that gets so loud it wakes me up. When I hear the wind it sounds like I've stuck my head out a car window while going down the highway. Other times I hear voices. Bits and pieces of conversations, fading in and out. I can never make sense of what is said. I know I'm not going crazy. I'm tapping into something. Lately I've been seeing flashes of bright colors. When I hear the noises, I always feel this vibration within my whole body....very hard to explain. And it's as if the sounds come from inside. Not coming from the outside into my physical ears. But they are always extremely loud and jolt me awake at times. I also saw a blue light in the corner of my room once. And when I was a child, every night I would see a cluster of, ususally green, floating lights for a few years. Looked like an energy formation of some sort. I wasnt scared of them though.

Anyway.....

I believe some of the things you are experiencing have to do with going out of body. Or at least that's what I read, years ago when this started happening. It was very scary at first but I'm used to it now.

I've read that some people hear wind, bells, a ringing noise, music, thunder......
This has to do with tapping into other levels of awareness or something. I'm going to try to find some links for you. A book that helped me out with is called The Shariyat Ki Sugmad by Paul Twitchell. Journeys Out of the Body by Robert Monroe.
Do a search on Eckankar also.

manifestations.... some have one - some have another .... hope this
helps...."

"dreams shifting out of symbology and into the realm of abstract light, color, and static, including loss of dream awareness of the body... the ability to exist in this "space" with no desire to return to symbology or< sense of time

dreams in which clear, continual, and highly detailed awareness of the micro- to macroscropic is maintained in the (very large) mind and is accessible to the body

abilities to see/feel/sense through the "material" world (4 dimensions?) in dream and waking states

awareness of electrical current in the body / awareness of the transformation of electrical current into different shapes/zones and into heavy, deep, fuzzy charges in the body

other internal sounds: muted wooden clappers in sync with the breath (like the ears are the clappers), the sound of a 'spark' seeming to come from the center of the head

the (embarrassing!) inability to distinguish between events occuring during dreams and those occuring while awake

total loss of body awareness... leaving the body... losing the body.

disconnection from the mundane functions of life (avoidance of conversation, difficulty focusing on work and interpersonal relationships...)

*********

My experiences started very recently but I'll try to outline them for you:

Energy rushing up spine or radiating out from the center of my body.
Constant buzzing and vibration in body.
Sound of rushing water."

........"5) Feeling wind blowing on me at night and hearing wind sounds in my ears

6) Lucid dreams and OBEs

7) Increased understanding of how everything is One.

8) Enhanced intuition--can read people's thoughts by looking at their facial expressions (this is very fun sometimes).

9) Electrical sensations, getting "zapped""

This is very interesting! I'm not sure what Kundalini is, though. I checked around on the site, but didn't get much information. I'll have to check into it more. I had thought that the wind sensation may have had something to do with OBE before. It used to happen a lot when I first tried it, then I got scared and stopped trying.

Also, when I tried I felt like I was vibrating very quickly and this always startled me awake again. There are a number of times when, as I'm falling asleep, I hear my name being shouted. Usually it sounds like my mother!

I don't usually have any strong visual experiences as I fall asleep, but the other night after I had only been lying down for a few minutes I got a very clear picture in my mind of a little boy playing outside. I didn't recognize the boy or the environment, but it was as clear as if it had been on television.

As far as I know, I haven't had any OBE's, I've had some experiences where I didn't know if I was dreaming or having an OBE, and I chalked it up to dream, even though I was aware of my state from "dream" to consciousness. The most interesting time this has happened, when the "dream" was ending I felt myself slipping back into my body, as though I were a balloon being inflated and I "slid" from the end of my bed to the headboard... had to bend my neck because I was still sliding. I was awake the entire time, but I didn't know what was happening.

In any case, I have very detailed dreams and I recall my dreams nearly every night. There is a period of time between when the dream ends and I actually become fully awake when I find it easy to interpret my dreams, kind of a period of clear communication between my subconscious and my conscious. I find this very useful!

Thank you for your reply. If you come across any more information, please pass it along!

Very interesting. Below are some definitions I found for Kundalini. I believe it has to do with the chakras also. I remember learning about it when I took classes for Reiki years ago.

Energy symbolized as a coiled sleeping serpent lying dormant at the base of the spine. This latent energy is aroused and made to ascend the spinal channel. When it reaches the top the yogi is in union with the supreme universal soul. www.victoriayoga.com/dictionary/

The spiritual energy lying dormant in all individuals. This energy is manifested by the practice of Yoga discipline. www.vedanta-newyork.org/glos.htm

A Sanskrit word meaning "coiled serpent."

primordial Shakti, or cosmic energy, that lies coiled at the base of the spine of every individual. www.symca.org/glossary.htm

Spiritual energy depicted as the serpent power coiled at the root of the spine which rises to the head by spiritual practices, leading one to liberation. www.ammachi.org.uk/tools/glossary.htm

The "serpent power" of individualized cosmic energy that awakens and evolves into full awakening. See Shakti. www.davidspero.org/glossary/

The power of consciousness pure and divine. Holy Spirit supreme energy that lays dormant in the base of the spine. www.robcom2000.com/glossary.html

I've also heard my name and other words/phrases shouted. And a couple of times as I was just about to fall into sleep, I heard a loud whisper that I couldnt make out, but felt the breath of it on my ear and almost jumped out of bed. Quite frightening when it happens. And especially when youre home alone.

Interesting about the clear picture you mentioned about the boy. I also get flashes of vivid pictures and faces. Though they usually too are to rapid to recall all of them. And they are always unrecognizable, or unfamiliar to me.

For over a month I havent been able to recall any of my dreams. Not sure why. Maybe I should try keeping a dream journal, I've heard that helps.

Well, it's nice to be able to share these things with someone. If I find anymore usefull info I'll pass it along. Take care.

Peace
