Travels of a Dreamwalker - Karen659

[karen659]

Hey Karen, I read a lot about "retrievals" and helping the dead who think they are still alive. Could this have been the case with the two old folks?

Hi again! yes, it is possible this was supposed to be one, or even could have been one (as I'm unaware of the actual discussions we had)...it was my feeling these gentlemen were very happy to have someone to talk to so likely were 'stuck' in a reality of their own creation for what ever reason.

I've had a few retrievals over the past few years and they are SO rewarding...the best one was with Stephanie and to this day, is still impressed upon my memory.  (http://karen659.blogspot.com/2008/04/52-i-did-it-used-false-awakening-for.html)  Actually, my first post on my blog is another one, with the autistic individual....http://karen659.blogspot.com/2007/06/learning-to-dream-walk.html

Thanks for posting...always happy to hear from you!

I thought I'd share a quick experience this morning, one that I wasn’t going to post, until my friends at the Astral Projectors group in Facebook said I should!  So here goes…

Since I didn't have to get up early today, I was trying a different technique for lucid dreaming, one where you set a timer to go off at intervals to help with awareness (great site: http://www.lucidology.com/blog/91/lucid-dream-timer-method/)

During the night I can remember having LOTs of dreams which was an improvement already, but one in particular was quite memorable. I was helping someone with 'negative spirits' that were bothering him, and was showing him how you just needed to have no fear when they started 'taking control'.

I don't have specific details, but remember myself having that slight tinge of fear when one would come, but then emphatically stating, 'stop!' or 'release now' to get them to comply. One 'spirit' that was insistent took my astral arm and was shaking it violently which concerned me, but again, I somehow got the courage to say "stop!" and send love which dissipated it.

As I moved in my bedroom toward my body, I looked up to see my grandmother (who passed many years ago) enter the room! I was astonished, as I've not seen any family members ever in spirit. Actually, she looked so different than she did (much younger look and I never recall her looking like that) but somehow I knew it was her. We were sitting together and my only memory was excitedly telling her all about what I was doing and how I had "figured out how the nervous system worked"! (?)

It was a very short talk and I was pulled back quickly to body (as I think I was so close to my 'self' in bed) but ultimately was thrilled to awaken and know I met with her! My first time meeting someone in my family that has passed on!

Interesting technique! I'm going to give it a shot. I met my dead Grandfathers in a few lucid dreams. They are so cool. In a recent one my Grandpa looked a lot younger too!

Yes, the timer method does work well for dream recall at least, and if you can remember to stay perfectly still upon hearing it go off, you will have a better chance of  quickly staying in the "mind awake body asleep' mode for getting OOB!  I use affirmations a lot, like "NOW I am out of body!" and "Vibrations NOW!" done with emotion (silently in my mind) as I'm in that mode...

Actually for this experience, I used an Android app for my phone that let me set a dream timer to go off every 45 mins from 2 am to 5am....and I had tons of dream recall with this method, and apparently this one OOB!

Thanks for the post...and I wish you much success!

168) Wine Effects, Sending Energy Attempt

I have to start this experience with some background so as you can understand maybe why things happened as they did.

I had not expected to get OOB this morning, so had no focus or intention set as to what exactly I would do if I did.  That is a key point in maintaining a degree of control when you start your induction, although I have to add, that I also had had a few glasses of wine prior to bed and think that my ‘consciousness’ was also not fully ‘awake’ to maintain the control either!! Lol

I remember waking about 4am and needing something to drink, having already dreamed I had downed an entire bottle with gusto! Lol  I felt awake enough to think about possibly attempting to get OOB, but knew that many times alcohol impacts your ability to do so, so didn’t focus too much on trying.

Getting back to sleep, I remember starting to feel a ‘swaying’ motion…actually thinking, ‘oh dear! I did have too much to drink’!! lol  But then knew that this rocking motion could easily be amplified and turned into an OBE, so worked on doing that.

I felt my upper torso swaying back and forth, and then focused on moving even a hand or foot astrally.  It was enough that I soon became aware of BOTH my legs being held straight upright off the bed!!! At first I wasn’t sure I was even asleep, that maybe I really HAD raised my legs this high!

Knowing this wasn’t likely, I just assumed it was my astral body, and tried to roll out.  It was a bit difficult to separate, but eventually I did find myself standing in my bedroom facing to door to leave.  Realizing I was out, I was thrilled, and found myself starting to float up and through the bedroom ceiling.

However, just before exiting the room, I remembered what Jaime in the Astral Projectors group on Facebook did once.  He was able to send him own sleeping body healing energy while he was out, and I wanted to do that too!

I turned around and easily saw my body lying on the bed under the covers.  For some reason, my face was covered or not clearly visible.  (Again, as you may know from previous posts, I believe it is my own preference NOT to see my face as it is possible my ‘mind’ may not be able to process the actual fact that I am in two places at once without return to body). 

I move closer to the bed, with the intention of sending energy to my body, but was shocked to feel that the closer I got to my body on the bed, the less ability I had to ‘see’ it clearly, as it appeared to emit some sort of wavy distorted energy or vibrations that did not feel good.

I knew enough to not press this attempt, as you know with any type of ‘negative’ response you are likely to return to body, so I turned back around and continued to float up and out of the bedroom ceiling.

Now, I was not in control of where I was going, whether lack of intent or too much wine, but I found myself outside the house in the dark above my front yard.  I could see a ray of light with what looked like rain coming down in the lit area, and moved closer to see what it was. 

Entering the light, I could see it was a ‘spotlight’ of sorts off to the side of the yard, and I could feel the ‘tingles’ of what I thought was rain.  (In real life, it was not raining at that time, so I have no idea what it was)

Flying through the trees that line my property, I hear children walking along the road behind my house and moved to go see what was going on with them.  I thought, because it was early morning, that perhaps they were on their way to the school bus stop.  I thought it was sad that they had to walk to the bus stop in such darkness.

It was at that time I was totally taken into a lucid dream that I have very little recall of once awake.  In hindsight, I do think that perhaps my ‘woozy’ body was emitting those peculiar energy waves due to its destabilized state, and the lack of control and my memories of the LD were also affected.

However, I am happy that at least I remembered to try to send energy to my body when out, so that means maybe next time with an improved physical body and mind, I’ll succeed!

Oh dear! I fear that is just out of my expertise...besides, I love to write!  I am trying to get out more in person as well and talk about my experiences for those who want to learn...so if you're anywhere near Maine, that's my next 'appearance' end of April!   Thanks for the comment! -K

February 20, 2012  169) Emotionally Intense OBE; Helping a Child

I woke as I sometimes do about 3 am and had difficulty falling back asleep.  Figuring it was a good time to try for another OBE, I affirmed my intention to help others if I could as I always like to do.

Just as I was falling back to sleep, in that in-between state of asleep and awake, I thought I heard someone calling ‘mom’ or ‘ma’..…a little voice crying out, and when I heard it again, I said “I’m here!” with my thoughts.  What I did feel was that this was NOT my child, but one that needed someone.

I then came into awareness of being in my bed in my bedroom, and sensing the movement of an intense energy in the form of a small child coming into my bedroom from the doorway.

My heart was pounding, trying to stay calm, as I could feel something different about this energy and somehow knew it was going to be a ‘difficult’ experience for me.

I realized it was a small child, a boy about age 3 or 4, very upset, crying and very much in turmoil. He moved to the empty side of my bed and climbed up next to me.

Immediately I ‘felt’ and saw his life, the abuse, the sadness, the extreme depth of emotion he had as he sobbed uncontrollably next to me.

I had him lie on the pillow, on his belly and his face was away from me so I could not see his appearance.  He was small in frame, and all I could do was pat his back and rub him gently, trying to sooth his sobs.  I remember doing this for what I felt to be a long time.

I reached for his head, to rub his hair and stroke his cheek after he was quiet for a bit.  He turned over to face me, and curled up tightly against my shoulder and neck, cuddling me, and with a tiny bit of a sob to his voice, asks, “Am I home now?”

I was so emotionally overwhelmed with the unexpected question that I didn’t know what to do.  I think my emotions did not allow me to continue on energetically effectively, as I was desperate to help.  I remember actually speaking out loud, ‘do you see anyone?’ trying to get him to see those who I knew were there for him.

With the audible words, I was immediately awake…and alone.  I have no idea if I was of any help, but am so hoping that just the idea that I was able to get him to stop running and crying and to settle down,  enabled him to move on to where he needed to go.

This was so emotionally draining for me.  I woke crying with emotional release at his depth of sadness and the turmoil that he experienced in his short life.  I desperately hope he’s in a better place now….

Heart breaking

 I once had a retrieval of a child. I thought at first that it was Japan, but now have the gut feeling it was the Island of Tonga. It was weird though because all she did was look at me with her big beautiful eyes. She was totally alone, but didn't seem to show any feelings. When I reached out to her, she reached out back. The strangest thing of the whole thing is I think she was there to retrieve me. Think about that one, I pondered that thought for the longest time. She made me feel so good inside. Once we arrived at zone with other people, it was really hard to say goodbye to her. I still see her once in awhile while traveling. The worst retrieval I had was a war scenario and the young soldier had a look of fright on his face that I never want to experience. It all ended up well in the end, but that facial expression was haunting. So were some of drugged out zombies that I worked with in a different area of the Astral.

Thank you NoY and Lionheart for your posts...yes, it IS heartbreaking, but I have to go on with the hope that everything happens for a reason, and in some small way I was able to make a difference in that child's experience.

Lionheart, yes, it is an honor, IMO, to be able to help those who have passed move on with their learning.  There is SO much we do not know about what we do, but have to respect the fact that as long as it is done with pure heart and love, it cannot be wrong.

I can still recall my most favorite retrieval with a young girl named Stephanie...it was an awesome experience with a beautiful ending...not like this one that rather left me questioning....here's the link if you want to read about it...

Hey Karen - bit random but might be some use too you

I remember being very sick one morning from the night before from having drunk too much and took some energy supplement, anyway i was vomitting and my body felt like death - i was still able too project though and i had such a vivid experience even when my body was that ill and all over the place

It is possible I suppose, but sometimes depending on what type of 'experience' you are striving for, I think it might impact the 'depth' of experience, even if it is just the memory of it.  I thought it was funny though how I used that 'swaying' motion, associated with the wine, to loosen the astral body and move out!!  lol

Thanks for the post!

February 20, 2012  169) Emotionally Intense OBE; Helping a Child

Through a discussion with other members of the Astral Projectors group on Facebook (which anyone is welcome to join, just ask!), it seems that this experience may have been much more than 'just' a retrieval as I originally thought.  

It seems that a psychic friend felt that there was a 'Carrie' great grandmother who helped this child to 'move on'....and it just so happens that THIS is the name of MY grandmother, the one whom I just saw during the OBE two weeks ago!! (http://karen659.blogspot.com/2012/01/167-sleep-timer-use-meeting-my.html)  AND....that SAME day I had this experience, my son informs me that he and his wife are expecting a new child this summer!!

I almost now feel that perhaps this could be another premonition of my grandchild to be...similar to the one I had before my FIRST grandchild!! (http://karen659.blogspot.com/2012/01/167-sleep-timer-use-meeting-my.html   ...including the comment!) Since I'll not know for sure until it happens, if this newest grandchild is a boy....then I'll be almost certain this was the case!

....it's just amazing to think that no matter how you 'think' you might have figured things out, the Universe will always show you that all is not always as it seems!! lol

Thanks...
