I haven't had any light flickering experiences during pk practice, but snapping sounds are pretty common. It's weird that although I have been hearing snapping for a long time already, but nothing has actually moved uncontrolled. Could it be that I'm simply so afraid of it that I'm blocking my own progress in pk just because it feels safer than accidentally breaking stuff?
Edit: No, wait, now that I think about it, there have been a couple of cases of stuff falling from the shelves or tables in the kitchen.
Today I took the courage to try the light dimming exercise from psionicsonline: http://www.psionicsonline.net/psychokinesis/articles/27-light-dimming-upc . So far I have avoided pk practice on electronics on purpose, because I'm really afraid of messing things up. Well, I picked the 4 regular bulbs in the living room (which are unfortunately connected through a dimmer circuitry that I didn't want to blow). I dimmed them down a bit so that I could stare at the bulbs through the lamp cover. A bit later, the bulbs started making snapping noises and the lights started to flicker slightly. I kept going until a really loud snap freaked me. I quickly stopped the flickering and manually turned the light off.
It all reminded me of the following experience in a half-dream state: http://sussch-daweird.blogspot.com/2009/12/losing-control.html . Another experience came into mind, when I was younger and playing a computer game with my uncle's computer. Then suddenly the bulb split in two, half of it crashed on the ground while the other half glowed on for a fraction of a second. In any case, bulbs shouldn't be snapping when I'm simply attempting to dim them. :S
How come objects can be moved without even getting a feeling of them?
Snapping sounds usually come from an object changing its shape. However, if a fragile object makes a snapping sound that's loud enough, it should break because of the rapid shapeshift, right? Well, the snapping of one of the bulbs seemed loud enough for a bulb to break. Fortunately none of the bulbs did.
As for how to lessen this snapping, I have found that frequent deep meditations help. I think my pk is just not accurate enough yet and objects kind of start to wobble, thus the snapping sound.
Thanks
