An orb and a figure in my room?
Hi guys!
Last night I had a really bad dream and when I woke up from it, I had to take a few minutes to come to my senses. I knew I was awake for I had been talking to my boyfriend about the dream I had and I also drank some water. Now, when I was lying there and looked around my bedroom I suddenly saw something that looked like an orb shoot past the right side of my bed and a few seconds later I saw a human-like figure walking around my bed from the right side to the back of my bed until it diappeared right before it reached the window. The figure wasn't detailed or anything, I couldn't really tell how it looked, but I felt like it was a man. I wasn't scared too, 'cause he didn't feel threatening.
Does anyone know what this could've been?
It sounds a lot like hypnogogic imagery, which is what you can often see as you are consciously entering a Wake Induced Dream/Lucid Dream. During a SP episode or right before entering a dream/Lucid Dream, it is incredibly common to see such imagery right before phasing directly into a Lucid Dream/Dream. If this happens again, see if can allow yourself to go along with the imagery, and eventually if things don't seem right after a while, perform a reality check.
The figure wasn't detailed or anything, I couldn't really tell how it looked, but I felt like it was a man. I wasn't scared too, 'cause he didn't feel threatening.

The fact that the man and orb weren't very clear or detailed and disappeared quickly, makes me think that both were just simple hallucinations.
Nothing to worry about.
You saw a spirit.. spirits can be also seen as orbs. Was this orb about palm or hand size? The one I experienced what I believe human spirit orb it was hand sized. (I have got orbs on camera, my first orb I think was my favourite uncle who died when he was in his early 20s, the orb appeared at my fathers 40th birthday).
If a human orb, I assume it moved across the room and didnt dance or anything like some of the other being orbs do.
The human I believe orb I saw was a hazy whitish colour. I'd be interested in hearing about your orb as Ive been trying to figure out which kind of orbs go with which kinds of spirits.
We are more open towards psychic phenomina when we have woken up or about to go to sleep (thou of cause we can also have subconscious images too at those times). Our normal waking thinking mind tends to block out this reality.
One thou can actually train oneself and ones eyes to see these while fully awake or some have natural ability to do so .. some can see these any time at all. (I can tune to some of these things some using yogi techniques when fully awake).
Next time to try to keep the spirit or orb within sight (this isnt easy).. do not look directly at it but like look throu it or to the side of it and do not do this in a willed kind of way (as that will alter your energy field in such a way you will loose psychic sight.
Just gently gaze to the side and stay very relaxed.. focus on your heart at same time, I suggest to tap it with the fingers of one hand which helps keep the orb or spirit in sight due to a couple of reasons. I can pm you some psychic exercises to do if you want to train your vision to see such things when fully awake. I had a very good yogi teacher so have had training in psychic sight. .....
Here's something you can do which the result may surprise you. Put on some music you like, get in a good mood then get your camera out. Say outloud, "if anyone is here can you please pose for my camera" Next tell them to slow down their vibration.. then take some photos. This works for me and I easily take orb photos when I do that (but I dont get orbs in my photos if I dont do that except the once when it was I think my uncle at dads birthday).
To look at photo on your computer.. I suggest to look at night when the lights are off (as glare on the screen can make orbs much harder to see).
Experiences like you describe can happen when consciousness is in a transitional "twilight" state - partly asleep and partly awake at the same time. I recommend these 2 good articles.

Well, the orb I saw was indeed the size of a hand and it didn't dance or anything, it just floated swiftly from one direction to the other. People often say that orbs "glow", but this one was kinda transparent.
The figure I saw was transparent as well. I'm going to give you a little description of how my bedroom looks. My bed is placed in the middle of the room against the wall. When i'm lying in bed, my door is on the right side at the other side of the room and on the left side you have my window. The figure was walking from the door the the window, stopped a few seconds when I was looking at it and then disappeared right before he reached the window :)
Whether I actually DID see a spirit or not, it was a really neat experience :)

Thanks for the really interesting articles! However, I have had quite a few sleep paralysis experiences and this was not one of them :p I was sitting up and I could move, 'cause I followed the spirit with my head while he was walking. Also, right before I saw the orb, I grabbed a bottle of water and took a sip, so I was clearly conscious. I KNOW I wasn't dreaming because I had just been talking to my boyfriend and my boyfriend remembered the conversation the day after.
Whatever it was, it fascinated me :)
It was probably some sort of eye-floater, exaggerated by a dreamy state of mind. That would explain why, as Tauniaaust1 says, when you look at it it's gone. They only happen peripherally, not when you look at it directly.
It's a pretty simple, mundane answer that won't be as romanticized and soon forgotten. ;)

I see stuff like that when Im fully awake too, and more then once competely in middle of day when Im going about things in my day eg I could be walking across a room and suddenly see something. Most of the things Ive seen have been when fully conscious still.
The last spirit ball I saw was when I was walking into my bedroom (I hadnt been asleep at all), it was in the room but quickly faded from my sight once I saw it.
Well, the orb I saw was indeed the size of a hand and it didn't dance or anything, it just floated swiftly from one direction to the other. People often say that orbs "glow", but this one was kinda transparent.
The figure I saw was transparent as well.
Cool, size, appearance and movement :) that is exactly what I thought you'd describe with the spirit ball. I should of said transparent too. You are one who further strengthens my thoughts of how the human spirit balls present. I havent as yet had anyone see a human one differently (Ive spoken to several who have seen human spirit balls in past and they describe all the same).
Another thing I didnt say but if you got a chance to study the spirit ball enough (if it held still for you), you would of seen throu round, that it was not smooth like a ball on the outside of it.
Next time something like that occurs, I suggest to try to communicate with the ball with your mind. (I say with your mind so you are less likely to break your state which was allowing you to see it). You could of asked it to stop thou at times when we see this stuff, its like they are unaware of us and our dimension while other times they are aware of it.
The figure was walking from the door the the window, stopped a few seconds when I was looking at it and then disappeared right before he reached the window
Im curious about the spirit you saw and wonder if he purposely showed himself to you. The fact he approached in a non threatening ball form then went to his human form and walked by your bed and he walked away and even halted there while you were watching him, makes me wonder if he was aware you were watching and maybe even wanted you to see him.
He may of been showing himself in a way to you in which was more unlikely to scare you then if he just approached you in human form, sat down on your bed and started to chat.
The experience sounds like it may of been set up from the other side. If so you probably are in for more experiences, they may be getting you ready for more intense contact.

Here's a photo I took 26th Aug 2012. Right after I saw a spirit man in human form. I then went and got my camera and asked for him to appear in my photo, I was really hoping he would appear in my photo as the form he showed himself to me in (maybe its easier for them to appear in orb form for cameras??). This is a human orb.
Human orbs may appear completey clear in colour to human eyes if ones psychic sight isnt as good, that or whitish in colour.. transparent thou.
The exceptions to this are apparently if the human spirit is a Master, awakened yogi or a past human awakened spiritual teacher, in those cases the spirit persons orb may appear golden in colour or will often appear yellow to more untrained psychic sight which sometimes has a hard time at seeing gold ).
(hopefully this photo attachment will work).
Wow, amazing photograph! :D I remember my dad taking a picture of me at some kind of family gathering with an old analog camera and when I saw the picture I noticed this "little ball of light" floating right above my shoulder. I asked my dad what it was but he said the picture "didn't develop right" and it was "just a reflection". ;) Oh dad!
Is it possible that you can see a spirit more clearly? 'cause last night I went to bed early because I wasn't feeling well and a few hours later I woke up and saw a man standing next to my bed again. I freaked out and jumped up to look at him, but he seemed startled and disappeared immediately. It couldn't have been my boyfriend 'cause he was in the next room on his computer and I heard him coughing when I woke up.
He was wearing brown pants and a brown jacket, a blue shirt with buttons and a grey cap. He looked like he came straight out of the late 19th century. Too bad I was so mortified when I saw him. I sat right up in my bed for a couple of minutes and looked around to see any other manifestation but all seemed normal.
OR I am having really weird dreams lately OR my mind has opened up to communicate with spirits. I have had some slight paranormal experiences in the past, but never like this :)
Anyway, thank you so much for your responses! I like reading them and you seem to know a lot regarding the subject ;)

Im glad you can see it, my photo posting isnt coming up properly on my computer so wasnt sure if you could or not.

Yeah its possible to see spirits very clearly, I sometimes have seen them as like misty shapes but other times very clearly. Ive seen them in all kinds of situations
eg One time I'd gone to a group to watch a trance channeller and after she'd finished doing the channelling (she was amazing, her voice completely altered and so her face, she turned into a chinese looking guy). I actually saw the spirit leave her body, it came out throu the top of her head as like a haze of smokey stuff.
Another time I was driving down the road to my boyfriends house and there was a spirit on the side of the road, I could clearly see what he was wearing etc (someone who'd years before committed suicide, quite a few locals had also previously seen this ghost). The spirit did this slow creepy kind of wave at me and I freaked out completely, I actually floored it down a rough dirt road in a panic, so that by the time I got to my boyfriends house (I was driving his car).. it was making a hell of a noise as I'd knocked the muffer off or loose.
(actually the time I screwed the car up may of been the time I saw a huge not this life kind of creature thing in a big tree.. there was two occassions I seen something while driving to his place, I blow off muffler on one of those occassions.. interestly in the same area. Something strange about that spot). ........
You may be opening up to see spirits. Once one start seeing these, it can be like one becames a magnet to them as they get quite interested in people who can see them. Try talking to them next time.
