I wonder...

I was watching tv when I noticed a black astral orb dissolve, thinking it was the old Earth's last layer.

Just now as I sat down by the laptop, I heard - physically - what sounded like a heavy car door closing outside. But the yard is dark and empty, no one is there. I changed my perception to view the surroundings again, and the gate I've kept seeing is now closed behind me, I am at the beginning of the field. I sense a calm and comforting darkness at the edges with some excitement building up from the unknown out there, which feels similar to how it feels on the plains of my astral island. Though the misty plains are the home of ghosts, and there is the path of hell by the far end, it still has a feeling of underlying excitement. I didn't intentionally create this, but apparently this happens when it's your own creation you are inside - even scary locations aren't scary to the creator.
