I woke up last time around 6:30. Was on the couch because my stirring at night wakes my husband and I don't like to mess up his sleep....so I'd gone out there. As I sat up I immediately noticed an orange glow on the wall which appeared as a reflection of a flame/fire. Not terribly bright, but a glow. I tried to focused on it thinking, what could that be? There's nothing between me and that wall. Couldn't have been reflection of the sun, it was raining outside. Couldn't have been from the TV because it was off. As I stared I noticed from the corner of my eye "something" standing in the corner about 6 ft. in front of that glow. It startled me a bit so I closed my eyes and reopened them to be sure it was actually there, and it still was.
It looked like a person. Whether male/female I couldn't tell. It was looking at me and had hair the colors of a rainbow that was flowing, or blowing, straight up like flames of a fire. I admit I was slightly startled....then it simply disappeared as did the glow on the wall. Never had anything like that happen before. Was sort of transparent, but not totally. It didn't seem to be evil, it was just there.
When I wake up I'm normally aware. Not one to stumble about and have to take 30 minutes to get my head together. I wake up and that's that. Especially this time of the morning. (I NEVER try to go back to sleep if I wake 6am or later.)
This could have been my imagination? Do others who desire a more spiritual awareness get imaginations because of that desire? I'm curious if anyone here has ever had something similar happen. I've been more dedicated to my meditation lately, and have been listening to chimes on my iPod all day long while I work which is very, soothing. So I'm either progressing more finally and allowing myself to be more aware, or my mind is tricking me to see something. I'd like to see it again and get a better look
