Hi everyone... I have been studying Astral Projection and Lucid Deaming for years.. Since I was probably 12 or 13 years old.. I am 30 now. I am new to the forum and wanted to describe some experiences and hope to get some answers.
Well then! Welcome to the Forums, Astral-Trea!
I have never consciously projected that I know of.. The closest I got the first time when I was a kid was feeling the vibrations and hearing the buzzing,, then I got excited and snapped out of it. After that I can't remember why but i think I gave up on it maybe because i had been trying for months with no luck and could not get back to that stage again.
For a bit of encouragement... you, and many others, have projected more often than you think. Most people call them "Dreams" and "Lucid Dreams". In my little world, they're as valid projections as anything else. They're projections of varying levels of conscious awareness.
In most cases, you'll have to "try" for more than a few months.
I had a strange experience a while after that (still a kid) so I guess I will start there. I remember waking up one night and knowing that there was a woman standing over my bed. I felt strongly that I was awake and I don't know that I saw a woman.. Maybe I saw a figure that reminded me of one I don't remember. Anyway, as soon as I realized this... The woman jabbed both of her hands into my ribs as if she was tickling me... It was weird cause I thought of it as a tickle but it did not tickle.. It was a violent type of jab and I remember I felt the fingers jabbing hard into me and heard a female voice saying something like "tickle tickle tickle" or something along those lines. Instead of making me laugh.. I felt like my energy was being drained... I don't know hoe else to describe it other than just being actively drained. I struggled and think that I said stop or quit.. At which time everything ceased and she was gone. I felt disoriented after and I got up, went to my parents room, woke my mom up, and asked had she just came and tickled me. Of course she was sound asleep and didn't know what I was talking about. Everyone including me chalked it up to a dream... But I normally don't remember dreams for the res of my life which makes me wonder what this could have been. My parents house is not haunted and we never experienced anything like that before or after.
I can imagine how that would be a scary experience for a young kid. I do have to encourage you to keep trying though and try not to think about this particular experience. Don't let the fear from it guide your hand the rest of the way.
You're going to experience a lot of "beings" if you continue along this path... it's best you make peace with that knowledge now.
My theory became that either I had projected during sleep and something attacked me, or I had attracted something to me by trying to project before. Is the latter possible because that is a worry I still have today.
You probably woke up in Sleep Paralysis, or at the very least you woke up JUST on the edge of sleep... watching the non-physical bleed into your physical life. I've had that happen my entire life. Waking up to seeing strange things going on... strange people standing in your room... I don't believe any of them were objective/fundamental (ie: real beings) though. Could they have been? Sure... no reason why not.
I got interested again in astral projection a few years back and bought some more books.. One by Robert Bruce which described frightening things that can happen during a projection such as clammy hands grabbing you etc. That freaked me out alot so I didn't pursue it.... Now for some reason.. I have gotten Etremely interested in AP again within the last month or so and have been scouring the web looking at people's experiences etc.
I have alot of questions and I guess I will post them later as this one experience hopefully will get alot of response. So until then, I will only say that I am very interested in AP but also sort of afraid because I do not want to attract any entities to our apartment that will begin haunting my wife and I.
I had a recent experience with something I thought was a dream but I am not sure.. I will save that for later also.
As I said, try to put that fear aside, because it will be a major barrier to your success.
Feel free to ask whatever you want when you feel ready to.
Welcome, again, to the Astral Pulse.
Can you get hurt non-physically? Yes.
How so?
Can you get killed non-physically? Well...I would like to say no...but I have seen things that seriously makes me wonder. So you are basically asiking the same questions as I do here.
Killed non-physically? No... what are you killing? What is dying? Your consciousness? How do you kill consciousness?
What is death? What we physical meat popsicle call "death" is simply a change in perspective from one reality to another. You could call it "death" when we switch from the non-physical and are born here in these meat popsicles.
I would advice you to learn how to protect yourself with love, shielding techniques and how to fight. And then feel safe. If you understand? Don't be scared, but be prepared, just in case. And do it quickly, ey? I think it's time you get your butt out in the astral
There's a good post on fighting here
http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/welcome_to_out_of_body_experiences/combat-t34223.0.htmlRead that post, and you will understand what to do if you need to.
About the videos...different reasons. It's not about me, it's about the information. Also, the things I've seen and are talking about will sound pretty crazy until you understand...and for several reasons, amongst them my loved ones, I thought it was not nessesary to be "the crazy woman" just yet...that may change...
Personally, I wouldn't venture out with even an OUNCE of violence on my thoughts. But meh... that's me.
I'll never tell people that fighting is an option in the non-physical. Quite the contrary actually.
