I have read posts around the net about people who can not go to bed to sleep because when they go to bed very large, visually fuzzy, ethereal spiders or beetles crawl out of their bodies and start biting them. I tried searching for posts today, but I was not able to find any posts about it other than regular bug bites or altered drugged states of spiders, beetles, and other insects.
I first read about people being attacked and bitten by spiders and bugs crawling in and out of their bodies at night while learning about Shamanism. They were were generally blips inserted as an afterthought to a main post on a separate topic. Occasionally I have read a few hints of these other world bugs in unrelated postings, generally as passing thought. Someone will mention it happens to them, and someone else will chime in saying, ‘Oh yes, that happened to me too’.
I have never experienced these shapeless bugs myself, only remotely as a child when someone my folks knew was ‘sent’ away to ‘dry out’, which was the term used a long time ago meaning – sent away for a month to a ‘clinic’ as an attempt to cure alcohol addiction.
I remember my folks saying so and so was seeing spiders and mice crawling around their room during the first days of ‘drying out’. That meant they have a severe alcohol addiction. Other than that I have no first hand experience with this happening to anyone I know.
On the other hand, I have seen what look like fuzzy flies fly into or out of people around me. They usually look like house flies, but their shape is really indistinctive. I think house flies because that is what they most resemble, or maybe a little like a formless black, ant bodied wasp. I have noticed when a fly of this type flies into someone, the person does not seem to be aware of it. I see it happen, and if they do too, they are used to it happening.
Usually within a half an hour, when one of these flies has flown into someone they undergo a mood shift, usually becoming angry or irritated for no obvious reason. Whether the bugs are bringers of the mood change, or if it is coincidence I have never known someone I see it happening to well enough to ask if they know a change is happening to them or not.
I do not see myself saying, “Hi, I was looking at you and noticed a fly or something like it, fly out of that door and fly right into your cheek. Does this happen often to you?” I can not imagine any good outcome from asking a stranger a question like that.
From what I have gleaned from reading where people mentioned bugs crawling out of them and biting them, it was usually confined to the chest and stomach area. Perhaps this is where they were most focus is as sleeping usually happens in a darkened room. Or possible because that is where our life forces are located, in this area of our body
I don’t think it is a singularly Shamanistic viewpoint, but the few responses I have read is whoever this is happening to is doing something in their life that has taken their life out of balance; and this will keep happening until they take steps to get their life back in balance. In some cases I remember the cure was indeed a life style change, in other cases it was an act of intervention from someone who had experience with the ‘bug issue’ and knew how to fix it.
Personally, I am on the fence about the whole matter. While it is well within the realm of altered reality, I do wonder if it happens in mundane reality, or do these people somehow how unknowingly shift into an alternate reality with no one around them noticing? If it does happen without their direct knowledge, how come, and does it continue?
Before someone takes off with this idea, I am not speaking of Morgellons disease or a seven foot tall Praying Mantis type creature that a few people see of when they wake in the middle of the night, or other overly large insects that seem to inhabit the world of our suddenly waking moments. These spiders and beetle stories I have read are from people who lay down to go to sleep, not people who have been asleep for some amount of time.
If you have any experience with these phenomena, I sure would enjoy hearing your serious thoughts on the subject.

If there were real Vampires, its existence would be one of fear, boredom and misery. There would be brooding deep feelings, but they would not be from feelings caused by human/vampire relationships. How many killings before a Vampire starts going insane. Experiencing distress from boredom and frustration. Imagine living hundreds of years, watching generation after generation making the same mistakes the over and over. Watching people treat each other badly for years on end, would make the most brutal Vampire want to stop living.
I believe psychic talent is a mixed bag. On one side is some of the questions we ponder daily are answered. It is rewarding to be able to help people in certain areas of their life. It is rewarding to help people find reasonable solutions to their problems or pointing them in a direction where they can be helped. It is especially rewarding not to be scared of the generally unseen or unknown.
Someone who displays the characteristics of an Empath can be happy and having fun and suddenly start to feel lonely or depressed without any reason for the change in emotion other than someone they have an emotional bond with or a strong personality they have recently been in contact with is feeling these strong emotions.
We are told from early childhood the Boogie Man in the closet, Leprechauns and their pots of gold, and the Tooth Fairy are children’s stories, and nothing more. If we disagree we are told in a more firm manner. We are told that there is a God, but God is distant and uncommunicative with us. We are so conditioned we can not even hear God when we are spoken to. We think God left home a few thousand years ago. We write these things off to our imagination, or a trick of our ears or eyes.
