Hello,
I am new here, I have spent quite a few hours going through posts on this forum and sifting through posts which are over 10 years old for information. I felt it would be good for me to share my experience, what brought me here and hopefully discuss with everyone to find a solution to some of my questions & goals.
Let me first start with my experience. When I was young (age 6-11), I believe I had quite a few OBE's which I thought to be dreams i.e those times when I tried waking my parents up, but they couldn't hear me, only to wake up in bed crying because I didn't exist anymore. It was mainly just me in the house or very close by, doing absolutely nothing, but remembering it very clearly. That is until I had a 'dream' which changed everything and I have been unable to get it out of my head ever since. I woke up in my bed one morning and my first thought was "Oh no! I've overslept my alarm again, I need to get to school." This was then followed by me flying out my window, down my street and towards my school with shocking speed, I got lost in the experience for a few seconds as it all felt so natural, until it hit me that I was flying through the air, followed by me shouting in joy "YEAH! I'm flying". It was at this point when the pesky voice in the back of my head said "Yeah, but how are you flying? You couldn't fly before this." So at this point, I am floating 20 feet in the air, unable to move, trying my best to swim through the air using the good ol doggy paddle technique. I was stuck! I thought "How do I fly?" and the response I got in my head was "You just fly!", "BUT HOW???". About a minute later and after several different attempts, I couldn't figure out how to fly. I looked down at the ground and the thought "What if I fall?" came into my head, followed by overwhelming panic and fear, followed by me waking up.
This stuck with me and I still vividly remember the feeling of flying. I was 100% aware of myself and where I was, especially since I was answering myself in my head (yes I actually do this, even now in my mid 20's).
So what are your opinions? Was this an OBE or just a very strange and vivid dream??? Youtube recommended a video about "lucid dreaming" to me around 2 months ago, and now here we are.
Attempts at Lucid dreaming/OBE *Relax- I say this alot, but I mean when my jaw opens by itself and I am 90% sure I will find a way to swallow my tongue. (I know it's unlikely as it is attached to my mouth, but I will somehow manage it)
Attempt 1This was me attempting to will my body into sleep and visualise a ladder which I was climbing with some strange arms coming out of my back (Because real arms could never bend that way!) This was 60 minutes of me swapping between different types of ladders, because the standard wooden ladder was a clear violation of astral health & safety.
Attempt 2This time I try to put on meditation music so I can focus on that and stop talking to myself. It works, I am relaxed, I am focused completely on the sensations of my body and the binaural beats. I have tingles in my toes and soon in my fingers, my stomach starts to tingle and then as the beat continues I get a tingling above my brow and can feel like pulsing energy. I know right, you are thinking "OMG IT CANT BE!!", but it's true, I actually became a unicorn. On a serious note, this actually opened my mind on chakras, which I hadn't considered before. If I can feel it, it must be real, atleast for me.
Attempt 3-20This time, there was a period where I was focusing on meditating and learning about that chakra voodoo. I could feel it, this time I would make it happen. I have multiple techniques to try, now to test them all!
a) Now I thought I would try my own "Sit up Method", I was going to relax and focus on myself doing sit ups in my mind, then as I drifted, I would do an 'astral' sit up and BOOM! Didn't work.
b) Rope technique, I couldn't decide on how the rope should look and I kept thinking "but that will hurt my hands if I grab it!"
c) Roll out technique, I am relaxed, drifting, start to feel it and BOOM! all my muscles tensed to stop myself from rolling, my visualisation was TOO good.
d) Visualising myself on my rowing machine, rowing back and forth constantly. I can imagine it, I can feel the grip in my hands. this visualisation is on point. 30 minutes in "I should be well out of breath by now!" - That annoying inner voice spoiled it all for me.
e) Now I visualised walking down a peaceful beach, taking a walk in the woods, riding my bike. Cant stick with anything. It always leads to me talking to myself.
Attempt 21~25 ~ slight success
At this point, I have given up on visualising anything. I can't focus that way. Now I am going to focus on sound and hope to get the pulses I felt when I became a unicorn, but try to remain focused on the beat until I can leave my body. 40 minutes later, I feel a small vibration which I first feel in my hands (I know this because at this point, I wasn't even sure I still had hands until that point). I get so excited that all my focus now has to go on stopping the huge grin I have on my face. ~ excitement killed all of these attempts as it was starting to work (I think).
Attempt 26 ~I don't like these vibrations
This time, I have found theta wave beats to listen to. Quite quickly, I feel the 'thum, thum, thum' travelling through my body and I thought this could be the one. I keep focusing on the beat and letting everything else fade away. I feel a pulsing through my entire body, suddenly I feel 'THUM' go through my torso and my chest, it was so powerful that I felt like my body couldn't contain it. 'THUM' 'THUM' 'THUM' It started to get faster and it felt like waves of power building in my chest. At this point, it felt like soon the 'THUM' pulses would become so fast it would just be a continual pulse going through my body. I freaked out thinking that this might be my heart trying to clock out while I wasn't paying attention, I stop immediately in full panic mode.
Attempt 27-28 ~ Strange feelings.
This one I am not sure of. I have found that my success at focusing on a beat rather than a visual image allows me to shut everything out except the beat, it is probably because I live in a noisy environment which can be very distracting. This time I wanted to try white noise,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ec2RxsPp8vg a) This works really well. I drop into relaxation quicker than before. I start to feel a slight pulse, I clear my mind and just let the sound wash over me. ~ sleep
b) Same again. I am on the edge now, this time however I don't feel any pulses or vibrations and just lay there. I was laying there for almost 2 hours when I had a strange sensation. I am still struggling to describe it, but it felt like I was deep inside my body, but also outside my body (if that makes sense) It felt like my awareness had sunk 2 inches into my body, but I could now sense 2 inches outside my body. It felt like sitting inside a car but feeling the air rush past the outside of the car. When I started to concentrate on WTF was happening to me, I broke my focus and decided to stop and try to research what happened. I couldn't figure out what happened and since I don't know how to explain it, it is very hard to google.
Does anyone have an idea or some information that might help?A few questions.- How frequently are you able to Astral Project? (Can it be done every night?)
- Are there any techniques or practices which can be done here, to benefit your projected self? (i.e Squats wearing only a tinfoil bikini will build energy in the body to use in the astral?!?)
- Is there any advice which you think might help me personally?
- LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! IS IT REALLY THE BEST WEAPON? ~ Me personally, I believe I am a good person, but I am not a saint. I have no trouble with love, respect and caring for others, I would never harm someone without just provocation. However I see alot of people saying to love thy enemy etc. I read about people encountering nasty entities which try to harm them, so they send a care bear love heart at the entity, the entity then gives them a big hug and goes away to torment and torture some other poor soul. This never sits right with me. I am not that person, I will never be that person and never want to be. This worries me a little when I read around online. (Not as much when I see that same 'love' person directing endless hate towards someone because they made a comment they didn't like, yet the entity which attempted to torture them and cause them suffering left with a hug. Make me think I might still have a chance) Will this mindset an issue in the astral? I have boundless love and I am happy to share it, but when a stranger runs at me with a sword, trying to cut my head off, I would prefer a tank to defend myself, not love (if I am being 100% honest.)
My GoalsI wanted to write this down and share it, hoping it would concrete them in my mind and allow me to succeed.
1- Visit the Akashic Records for a few things.
a) If all the planes are connected, there must be a path to transcend in the physical. So I will search for the technique to go super saiyan so we can instant transmission into a higher plane. Someone must have done it, if not, maybe someone will. I don't believe in impossible. I believe that everything is energy, we are surrounded by the energy of the universe which gives life to all, but we just don't know how to use and absorb this energy.
b) See the lives of Budha, Guru Padmasambhava & many others. There are many stories throughout the ages of people who transcended or reached a higher plane of existence. I hope their experience can help me on my path.
c) To learn.
2- Learn to fly. I still remember the freedom of flying and how it felt so natural to just zoom through the air to where I wanted to go.
3- Travel and see the mysteries of the world. I am a big traveller, I love to travel and see other cultures. I need to answer the big question-

Has anyone done anything similar or found themselves having similar goals? Maybe even found their own answers to share?
Also, hello everyone
