I’ve been seeing “portals” in the half-awake/half-asleep state, what is this??

I’m not a medium nor have (or had?) any spiritual abilities but since my mom passed (and visited me) I’ve been opening up spiritually.

Recently this seems to be evolving from dreams where I see & visit with her (which are different from actual dreams) to dreams where just before I awake, I begin to notice an altered reality. Like, the dream stops, there’s no more plot, and I am suddenly transfixed by a light and hole or portal that opens. It will have shimmering edges and I am very drawn to it and curious. Sometimes also a little scared.

The last 2 times this happened, I went through the portal and began flying through what felt like the universe and soaring over waterfalls and mountains, it was the most magnificent feeling but also a little overwhelming.

This morning while half asleep, I saw the portal begin to open, with the shimmery edges and light, and I just kept staring at it in disbelief, because it’s always an otherworldly experience. I was drawn to it like usual but this time I felt my brain “wake up” faster than usual and I started to think “omg it’s happening again!”

As soon as I start to think about the experience, it pulls me away from it.

Is this real or just a dream? I don’t understand what’s happening, is this part of spiritual development? I don’t see or sense any beings (except sometimes I feel like my mom is helping me very gently and nurturing this budding curiosity about the other side).

Can anyone help me understand what is happening to me? How do I further explore but safely?

I don’t really want to see anyone else but my mom. (Maybe some other family but no strangers haha.) Thank you for helping me make sense of these new and unusual twilight experiences.💕

Btw I don’t know if this is relevant but I have aphantasia which means my mind’s eye is blind. I do not see anything or have any visual experiences unless I am asleep. I don’t have any way of feeling like I’m “receiving” from the other side when I’m awake except for signs and weird coincidences so these experiences are even more curious. They don’t fade like real dreams do. So weird!

It could be astral travel portals, as you already experienced. It could be portals.to other places. Sometimes, the portals are traps.

Perhaps, it is in your sleep where you are able to see in your minds eye to explore. Sounds interesting.

I never wnter portals that I do not make myself. You seem to have found a fun one.

I have these pop up all the time just the other way around.where ever I look if look to long a swirling portal forms.it seems to always go counter clockwise.but I can stop it and make it go clockwise.i see energy being pulled in and out.when ever I go to sleep thats all I remember.falling asleep and wakeing.i never remember any of my dreams.even the half and half state.when I meditate I last a few mins before knocking out completely.now these portals from what I’ve learned are created threw law of attraction.that when started if they turn clockwise its positive.counter clockwise is neg.and from chancewhat I noticed.it seems to be true.pos.energy goes in and out.other animals and entity’s are drawn to them.id you leave one open for couple days.and come back .the area will take on a whole new vibe.and the onlyway I’ve found to close them.is stare back into it.not long.close your eyes and turn away.the thing ussally colapses.and stops.if it dosnt.tham someone else has added to your manisfitation.like this if I open it i have to be the one to close it.maybe others can I haven t had the chance to try.i really would like to remember anything from when I dream.it would really help me figure this out quicker.ive tried the Tesla ,franklin method of falling asleep with something in their hand.to wake them right after falling asleep.they would wake themselves up AnD write down what they where thinking about.made them famous.when I do it.i wont wake me up.and when I do
i feel like I took something or drank to much last night before.and remember nothing when woke up.been trying to hack my dreams for years now.with no luck….have a good one.
