How to convert Lucid Dreams into an Astral Projections

[wizkitten]

IMHO Lucid Dreams are Astral Projections.

The only difference is in the perception - if you think that you're in the astral - then you most probably are in the astral.
Thought = Reality  

Another interesting thread:how to go realtime?

For me, at least, there is a huge difference. I've had dreams that were lucid for as long as I can remember quite regularly.
My first OOBE was mindblowing.. and appeared to be completely in the physical world with a complete waking consciousness and sense of awareness and orientation.

.. and appeared to be completely in the physical world with a complete waking consciousness and sense of awareness and orientation.

Some of my lucid dreams are like that.

Everybody seems to report different things when it comes to the level of awareness in lucid dreams. I notice little difference between dream and lower astral environments. I believe they are very similar states of consciousness.

This one is really confusing me, but when you are having a really good LD, aren't you in fact lucid dreaming? Perhaps you could even walk up to your body and have a look at it peacefully asleep. Or leave a sign for yourself.

I tried to read just about this entire post, but its difficult with 4 pages, and being so anxious to leave my response. Now, i'm sure 90% of you have heard of this technique, but i'd like to leave it here for the 10% that might not have!!

Lucid Dreaming used to be something i was blessed with about 4 nights a week. I loved that. I was anxious to find a way to use that as a short cut to perform an OBE. The best way for me to do this, and it has worked for me ( Or so it seems so vividly ) is the following.

At a moment in the dream, I will attempt to clarify the area around me by aggressively demanding so. Whatever affirmation you find comfortable. I just scream " Clear and Bright...NOW!.....Focus And Clarify! ".......Once i get to a brightly comfortable point.....I tell myself that when i turn around, there will be a standing mirror, close to my width and height (Having something behind you when you turn around, is alot easier than having something appear right infront of you. Not sure why, But it just seems easier to " know " it will be there, than to create it). Then, i simply turn around, look at the mirror...smile.......a walk into it, with the full knowledge it will trigger an OBE.

Now, in my experience, It causes such a jar and change of your surroundings, that its just too difficult to create a whole new " Mirror Land ". So i just find myself floating above myself. This has had to have worked for me half a dozen times. The mirror almost feels like your pushing yourself through a layer of leathery skin, ripping your way through.

Anyone that has a great effective rate of LD, i recommend giving this a try. In fact, I would love to hear others experiences in this!!??
