I have had what I consider unusual experiences in the last two days, and don't know what to make of it. I consider myself Gnostic in the way of having a path of dissolving and transforming the ego, and directly experiencing Divinity. Those experiences are primarily had through ceremonial-type Hermetic magick. The day before yesterday, as I was falling asleep, I heard this voice that sounded gentle yet stern telling me to hold my close friend's hand (also Gnostic). (He lives in another state.) I did. He told me that at about the same time, he had a hard time concentrating on his magick work because he had just gotten into a big fight with his girlfriend. I recognized this incident as a full out-of-body experience, as I've had them before. Then, yesterday, as I was waking up, I could feel energy like I would normally feel while doing magick and I was muttering what almost sounded like mantras. I already work in the astral and have been doing so for about three years now, but I don't understand why I'm now *doing* things in what seems to be my sleep. I don't remember any dreams. Just this. I would love to hear if maybe others have had such experiences, or if there's an explanation for it. Thank you for any help or information you can give me.
