I was wondering if anyone else experiences this. I'm sure probably a lot of people do but no one I know seems to dream that they are not themselves. I've been doing this off and on for years. These dreams are not lucid but very vivid. My dad is someone who remembers many of his dreams, as I do, and he thought it was strange when I told him about this. I know some people believe in reincarnation but I am not sure if I believe in that. My old beliefs have kinda fell away after some of these experiences with out of body and lucid dreaming.
Recently, I was a female child in a class and my teacher was keeping me after school to help me. On another day I was some type of sociologist or something studying people in a small village with an old matriarch that didn't like me (who ever I was) LOL. I was not me. That was a long dream. Sometimes I am a man or a boy. In this reality, I am a woman and it's a bit weird sometimes. Sometimes, I have a different husband, completely different kids, and it's almost like being part of a movie. Since I have been working on lucid dreaming and out of body experiences (which I am far from mastering) these dreams have become incredibly vivid.
Do you have these kind of dreams?
Hello. I know this is an old post, and I am bumping it because this is how I found astralpulse. I was searching online, trying to understand a recent phenomenon while dreaming. I will post more about myself in the introductory thread- thank you for having me. I have dreamt of being someone else. I wonder if the general sense of "I"-ness remains. In one dream I was a choir boy, in another, a girl crying to a monk. In another I am a professor. The phenomena that interest me, was re-introduced in an a few potent dreams in 2008. That is, "jumping" from one set of eyes to another.
The idea is, I am dreaming through someone else's eyes. In 2008 I am in Africa looking through the eyes of a tribal member and being taught a particular dance. In another instance I am on the shoreline and watching for intruders. A woman covered in seaweed emerges and is cut, bleeding. I am holding her and we are speaking french. I do not speak french but in this dream, I am certain we are speaking french.
Another example is a little more degraded in translation, cartoonish in fact. An older man was shouldering a type of bazooka with a glass bulb atop the rear which would contain our consciousness. The man explained to us(a group of people) that he would aim the device at someone and we could experience/witness through them. In yet another example I remember feeling a transfer of consciousness from being myself and then into another person.
Without diverting too much, recently I've met a girl named Abigail in the astral who shared my body with me- or was it I in her body? The arms/hands were more slender than normal, and we were feeling so light. I remember her laughing as she learned my language which appeared to her as letters before us. In this experience we glided down the stairs out to the backyard and she taught me about OM and how to merge with OM. It was a joyous feeling, she raised her arms up and chanted and we slowly raised off the ground. She did it again and then we were being stretched out, vacuumed into nothing- merging into everything- an all pervading sound, vibration/creation.
I have also woken up in a dream that I am in someone elses body. For some reason I think it might have been my cousin, but it could have been anyone. It was very generic. I remember seeing snacks on a table, and a woman walking in asking about the night before. I think in this experience The feeling was as if I had woken up from a night of partying.
Well I have so many more moments that I would love to share, and I am hoping to take my experiences further. I am looking forward to reading from others here and to be in a like-minded community. Briefly, I will say that in my college years I would get sleep paralysis, unknowingly, and after a bit of research try to recreate that experience to induce an out of body. I have one OBE I remember having as a child. It was very natural, one of my only ones where I was not first asleep. I have always loved my dreams, as early as I can remember. Through out the years I have learned more about hypnagogia and while I have the interest I believe I've lacked the discipline to carry it further. Also, if I am ill-prepared I still get intense fear. I do wish to be over that. So, here I am... And on this thread, I believe "jumping"/witnessing through the eyes of others or dreaming you are someone else entirely is somehow related to the astral experience.
Kind regards
