I have recently started taking a meditation/new age class, I pretty much meditate every day now for half an hour or more. Two weeks ago I had an experience which left me some what perplexed. As I got better and better at meditation and getting deeper into it, I decided to ask if there were any messages for me to receive. I suppose I got somewhat of an answer.

You know when you have your eyes closed everythings kind of ultra violet? Blacks, purples, yellows, those kinds of colors? That's how I saw everything with my eyes closed. I started to see people standing around me, they were in shadow though, it was like I was looking through a black and purple mist, that was constantly moving. I saw faces of people and other images. A man came around me he staring at me with yellow eyes. He was tall in a rain coat with what seemed like a fedora. He circled around me as if waiting for something, finally he just stood in front of me. I opened my eyes thinking that maybe my eyes were playing with me and I saw a black shadow flick out of my eye sight. I closed my eyes and got back down into my meditation. I saw more faces after a while, including the image of a women in what seemed like puritan dress pacing before a window and looking out once in a while. There was also a shadow person there, he paced around me too trying to get my attention, the session ended soon after that.

Since then I have gotten other images, some have actually been in regular color. What I want to know is has anyone else experienced this? Can anyone interpret this or has any information about it at all? I can't make heads or tails out of it.

Hi SR,

Sounds like things are starting to happen with your meditation.

A lot of people see spirits or receive messages in that way as a visual in your mind.

Maybe next time ask directly if you could meet your spirit guide, see if you're shown anyone.

Good luck.

Yep, Tia is right.
Another explanation I red on a paranornal book is that those things "might"
be alucinations, I must warn you that I have psychic stuff too, so I am just trying to give you
all the explanation I had found. The author says than when you mediatate
a lot and you are tired you can get tons of images, funny colors etc
(he also says that LCD produces that effect but faster, is just to give
an example that you might find interesting, of course from what you said
you dont take drugs, please, I am just comparing the effects)
So, If i where you I should ask your techer about this, or if not ask someone
who practice meditation. I also see strange stuff by meditation but not that
extreme, just like a tunnel of dark and mist and some white spots and then the
images start, sometimes only.
Hope this helps and good luck!

You have reported the visual content of the experience but you have given no report of the physical or emotional sensations that you experienced whilst seeing the vision.

I believe that these will be the most important clues to you in interpreting the visuals that you have seen. A all embracing approach might help instead of focus on just one element of the experience.

How did you feel? Physical and emotional?

Good feed back guys, to answer your question during all the experiences I felt calm and open, I am embracing the experiences. I never felt threatened or scared just kind of neutral and watchful. Physically I'm fine, my muscles tend to twitch when I'm meditating but my teacher says that's just energy realising itself from my body. There's no great changes when I have these experiences as opposed to when I don't.
Thanks for the advice guys!
