Okay you guys. A few days ago I sat up in the astral to see another one, but was too tired to examine it closely. I just watched as it crawled upwards.

Then I sit up in the astral today to find my astral spiders are BUILDING A NEST.

That was enough to get me freaked out, so I went in with a bell, a crystal, some incense, and holy water. I also turned on the overhead lights in my bedroom, because I keep it dark all the time in my bedroom, and I realize that may make it seem comfortable to creepy crawly things.

Am considering getting those bulbs that simulate natural sunlight and turning them on at least an hour a day.

Make an enclosure with your mind while out of body and keep one as a pet like a pet tarantula. LOL


I wonder what you would feed it. Astral crickets?

Ya you are missing out on a chance to do some serious experiments on astral wildlife... Build a shield around them not letting them out.

[opdirorg]

My plan was to study them. Figure out what they were doing, if they were useful or harmful. But I've been having bad dreams, I can't 100% connect the dreams to the spiders, but the whole nest thing freaked me out so I decided they have to go.

[RagonaCon]

Do they sell Astral RAID at Walmart? How about an out of body bug bomb? Check the Akashic yellow pages to see if there are any Angelic fumigation services.


LOL I'm sorry. I don't mean to make fun. It sounds like a unique opportunity to study these creatures. We could turn your findings into an Animal Planet special. Damn, there I go again. But seriously You shouldn't pass up the opportunity to study them. I don't think they are evil in any way they are just like animals doing what they have evolved to do.

I hope you will share with us what you discover before you send them packing with your RAID infused sage. Hmm, I wonder if that would work?

artdragondream: Do they sell Astral RAID at Walmart? How about an out of body bug bomb? Check the Akashic yellow pages... LMAO.

Hey, if you want to study them so bad, go get your own astral spider nest!

[RagonaCon]

Spiders freak me out. ::shivers::


If I saw one of those things in my room I would INVENT an out of body bug bomb. Aerosolized holy water should do it, and you don't even need to evacuate your house for 5 hours.

I saw a freaky black 2 dimensional WEB floating through my living room one night and I just about nearly did make one. LOL

I've seen them build nests before as well. The ones I've seen build them out of cobwebs and make them extremely fast, without notice. At one moment, you'll think nothing's there, then hear these light scratching sounds, and turn back around, and they've already made their nest, and are already producing eggs of more spiders. Speaking of, yet again, more spiders, I think it's time I share my research notes on spiders... I'll post them in my "CEP2plet's notes" thread soon, they're back at the previous home I lived in, somewhat hidden, I'm going to go get them today. Since we all have seen so many spiders, it would useful to all to read my survey.

[opdirorg]

I think there are different kinds of spiders, with different jobs.

I feel I can confirm mine were related to bad dreams, because since I got rid of them I've had no bad dreams.



(I know I know, spiders have eight legs. But I don't know what else to call these.) "Bad Dream" spider description: Black, six legs, jointed. Slow, crawly moving, climbs two legs @ a time.

I accidentally brought them into my protective canopy with me when I was ill. I think they hitched a ride, along with the flu. This may explain why bad dreams and restless sleep often accompany an illness.

They key is light ppl, lots and lots of light. Flushes them out. Creepy crawly things are comfortable in the dark.

[ForumMasta]

Hahaha! If they have six legs, they're not spiders. Remember life science class! Haha! 6 legs means insect, 8 legs means spider. So, if what you saw had 6 legs, it was an astral insect, not an astral spider...

It should be official, now, to study astral wildlife with the same rigor as wildlife here is studied. Hahaha!

[XKAgustin]

But they made webs so maybe they are in a range of creatures called astral spiders in the parlance of those with astral vision. I've seen the spiders (eight legged) but never the webs.

[ForumMasta]

Hmmm... Maybe the insects and spiders roles are switched for you? The insects I've seen don't make webs, and the spiders I've seen sometimes make webs, and sometimes don't.

[XKAgustin]

I haven't seen insects at all (unless you count dreams as the "astral"), just spiders.

I'm saying if Leyla calls them "spiders" because of recognisable spider behaviour, then it's possible that what she's identified as "spiders" is the same as what others are also calling "spiders."

[ForumMasta]

The only insects I've seen in the astral were beetles and cockroaches... and they didn't make webs. Maybe the ones you saw were insects that did spin webs. Who knows, it doesn't have to mirror the physical completely, so maybe those six-legged web-maker things should be called something else entirely if they splice both traits of spiders and insects together. Let's be creative in naming these things.

It's not a good idea to start using overgeneralizations. Their definitions are loose and are more useful in covering subjects, not being specific subjects themselves. It would be hard to study astral wildlife when everyone's calling anything with multiple legs or makes webs or even looks bug-like "spiders". Let's not start that.

I believe I was the first one to point that out spiders have 8 legs, not you.

Leyla: (I know I know, spiders have eight legs. But I don't know what else to call these.) Perhaps you should read closer, before you go "correcting" me in such an insulting manner.

BeeKeeper: it's possible that what she's identified as "spiders" is the same as what others are also calling "spiders." Yes, I think so too. Most people probably don't study them close enough to count the legs, as I have done. But let us not split hairs here. They are "spidery."

[Smittoh]

Okay, please all calm down a bit. I do not think anything was meant in an insulting manner. Maybe more whimsical - "Haha" seems to be suggestive of that. Let's remember we want to be nice to each other, okay?
