So I had taken some sleeping pills and was laying across the top of my bed watching TV and waiting to drift off. I noticed that when I glanced over to my thigh it appeared to have ghosty writing on it. Several ppl here have mentioned this phenomenon, seeing writing on the wall, on the pillow, or whatever they happen to be looking at, as they are either drifting off to sleep or waking up.

I decided, hey, I wonder if this is what ppl see when scrying - so I grabbed a piece of white paper and tried looking at it. That didn't work so well, so I grabbed a piece of black construction paper.

I started seeing the ghostly writing on it (not clear enough to read.) Then it little white flecks appeared around the edges of the paper. Then the white flecks appeared all over the paper. Then the paper itself looked like it had a pattern of rose vines imprinted into it.

It was amazing, because it looked like it was really there! And I knew it wasn't.

Then shapes were popping up out of the paper. Like 3D. All this time there was a sort of gray cloud floating over the page. I decided to try and stick my hands into it. The energy climbed up my hands! And I could see it. It was fuzzy and black like static electricity. It had a texture to it like sponge foam. And it tingled. I could feel and see it!

I could also see the aura of my hands. Violet. I knew I must have shifted into astral sight. I pulled my hands out, and began to study the page. I was looking at the rose vine pattern again. I noticed my breathing had slowed down considerably, and my heart chakra was going fast. I knew I must have reached some deep meditative state.

Then I started seeing what looked like flecks of glitter all over the page. And occasionally 3D shapes or ghosty writing that I couldn't quite read. I couldn't seem to get much further than that and decided it was a pretty good start.

One trick I kept doing was to pretend I was looking at a mirror instead of a sheet of paper, searching for my own reflection on the surface of the paper.

It was just like those "magic eye" pictures that were so popular in the 90's. You look at the printed pattern and a picture pops out, like a boat or the statue of liberty or something. The trick to those was to put a sheet of glass over the picture and look at your own reflection- then the 3D picture would pop out.

Here's an example of a magic eye picture.
