The Astral Pulse

I hope it's ok if I start my own thread. I have so many APs that it wouldn't do to start a single thread for each one I want to share.

Well ok, I'm 44 years old this year and I'm finally at the point in my APing where I can AP whenever I want. That's to say, if I feel like going out I can always get out of my body without problems. This has been about a 25 year journey for me because I started reading about astral projection when I was around 18. It's so cool to be at this point and be able to explore and experiment.

My best advice on how to do it is to watch yourself falling asleep. The more you do it the more easy it gets. You'll begin to feel heavy and then misty as the lights slowly dim in your brain. The trick is to keep watching yourself fall asleep. Otherwise, there comes a point where lucidity will just stop and you veer off into the void.

So while you're watching yourself fall asleep stay aware of the threshold for exiting. At some point you'll know you are enough asleep to exit. It's good to be patient and relax instead of forcing it. Forcing it can sometimes be painful and you'll just end up with a headache.

I do all kinds of things when I AP. Just today I took a nap and had an AP. My bed is right next to a wall so I usually roll out of my body and exit through the wall instead of my front door. It's easier that way. Once outside I floated above the neighborhood and could see all the houses from about 100 feet in the air. My guide took over then and I started flying down the street faster and faster. It was dusky yet I could see every house and trees in prestine detail. Sometimes I like to do everything myself and choose exactly which direction to go... but sometimes I let the guiding force take me away.

I eventually made it to the city proper and like most of my APs it was a completely new location. Usually my APs start at my house where everything is familiar and things gradually change into new vistas that are completely different. I saw a beautiful grand church approaching as I gently raced toward it. It had arches and towers and steeples and was completely detailed. That's where the guiding force gently put me down right in front of the big wooden doors. I opened the door and went inside.

The first thing I noticed was the smell. I could smell incense and candles burning. It's rare for me to see open flame but sure enough the anteroom was full of purple candles and smoke from incense holders. When I looked into the church I could see lots of benches and the inconography was intense. Above were pictures of Jesus and Bhuddha and some Indian gods too I think. They where so detailed and beautiful I thought that this place had to be more than a dream. There's no way my imagination was this good.

I woke up a little after that with that incense smell still lingering in my nostrils. That's was just today though. I won't post all my APs here, just the good ones and the most exciting. Sometimes I learn a big lesson from an AP... I'll try to share those too.

Thanks for reading and please also share with me your techniques, APs, any advice or whatever...  :-)

Heya!  I'll sticky this one for you.
As long as it's updated, it can stay stickied.  :)

I look forward to reading about your AP experiences!  I'm sure the sense of smell just amplifies the experience and makes everything else that much more vivid in detail!

Thanks Xanth, very kind of you!  :-D

Hey, T-Man, yep I know taste works too but I only smell things rarely. It's not the most pronounced sense in my travels but I know it's possible.

I had a pretty interesting AP last night. Sometimes I exit my body and sometimes I'm pulled to a certain location. This time I was pulled and I appeared down a long tunnel. There where people here walking down the tunnel and some where on this conveyor belt like at airports. We were walking down the tunnel. I was lucid and felt like something amazing was waiting for me down this path. I got on the conveyor belt and let it take me down the tunnel. I remember seeing a father with his two small children and they where holding hands. Lots of people where there all going in the same direction.

Then the tunnel ended at a black mist. People where going into it and disappearing. Finally it was my turn and I went into darkness.

The next thing I felt was speed. I was being propelled at an incredible rate. And I didn't have a body anymore. A small star came into view and it grew and grew until it was huge light before me. I could see little lights going toward it and being absorbed but at the last second my path veered off in another direction. I was propelled toward the darkness again - the big star disappeared.

The next thing I knew I had a body again and I was stepping unto solid ground. The first thing I saw was a sign in English that said "Welcome to Alpha Pine". The place reminded me of a mall actually. I walked around and there where stores and even fast food places. I was so curious about what astral fast food was like so I went into this fast food joint that had a hamburger on its sign and some weird name. I went in and there where a few customers but no place to make a line to get food. I saw an employee and asked him how to get some food. He walked me over to this contraption pushed a button and out came a hamburger wrapped in paper. I said thank you and went out the doors which led outside.

I saw mountains and lots of pine trees. The air was so fresh and I could hear ravens calling to each other. I saw some flying. Well, at this point I really wanted to try my hamburger so I unwrapped it and took a bite. It tasted like a hamburger and it was yummy but the texture was so different. Not like normal but fluffier like it was half made of air. It sorta satisfied me but I think physical food is way better than astral food.

I kept walking and made it to the entrance of the mall... it said Alpha Pine Mall. Then I woke up! Strange one!

These are interesting Shineling. I love learning that someone has reached that point where they 'know' they can ap and so they just do it. So I would like to ask a question.

What is your AP goal now?

Hey Nameless, thanks, and here are some thoughts...

When I first started APing I was surprised at the amount of darkness or outright black in the astral. Indeed, I think as physical beings we live on a plane where the Light doesn't shine all that brightly. Sometimes when I exit, I'll go outside around 4am and it is literally pitch black. I can see this would be a turn off for someone beginning to AP. It sure was to me. And there are shadow beings floating in that darkness sometimes. I have found they are harmless however...

But as my practice progressed I had fewer and fewer "Black night" experiences. I still get them though where my street is so dark and lonely it's very scary. Now, sometimes, the lights will be on in some of the houses. Or there are humans dancing the streets or instead of pitch black it's morning come or early twilight with the sky in all pretty colors.

So for me, right now, my goal is to increase my Light level. Being a physical being bordering dark astral planes I think in this I will not be completely succesful... but I'd like to see more Light in my APs. I've been to some planes that where utterly beautiful. Gardens or neighborhoods that you could immediately tell where on this side of the Light, And I guess, I'd like to avoid that scary pitch darkness as much as possible.

I think a lot of people think APing means gardens of light and heaven-like environments (and they are out there) but I think we are also meant to experience the darkness and within that experience make choices as to who and what we want to become. I also think that we as humans we are naturally protected by a guardian force that wishes us to seek the Light. But I also think the same guardian force wants to familiarize us with darkness as a teacher exposes his pupil to all subjects, not just the pretty ones. For me, the experience of the Guardian has been like a tourist guide, exposing me to all that is out there. How else can we grow?

This universe is made up of both the Light and the Darkness. There's so much out there... I think it's a mistake to expect that we will always end up in the Light. So like I said, I'm making my personal mission to strive for more Light and Love in my life and of course in my out of body experiences.

This was one of the best APs I've ever had.

I come to the point and I ask myself what is the point of astral projecting? It's always the same stuff... some strange experience, some far away adventure, cool sights and sounds, strange beings. So what else?

This time I went out my side wall and I went straight UP as far and as long as I could!

I wanted to get to Heaven. To really see the LIGHT!

I turned on my hand jets and just kept on going and going straight up and up and up.

I went through so many layers and worlds full of strange beings and lands. It was almost grotesque how many different stuff is out there. And how absolutely HUGE this Universe is.

There was this pretty place with spheres of metal that floated and resonated. I sat there on a deserted hill and watched them go by - taking a breather.

Then I remember I landed inside a tunnel. It was full of children hurrying around and in fear.

I rested at another place full of fog. Hills where everywhere with abandoned ruins and strange writing on the rocks.

On my way up I also remember passing huge galaxies and nebulas. They where a little dark... not like regular galaxies we view with a telescope. I heard a voice tell me that the reason they were half dimmed was because I was viewing them from a great height. All the suns put together would look like a dark blemish as viewed from Heaven.

As I went up I encountered a flow that went opposite me... downward. The Negative Power. I pushed so hard against it. Everytime I weakened it was there waiting to pull me back down to the trenches from where I came.

There where many types of powerful astral beings who played tricks on me and tested me. I mean big GIANT astral entities. One of them took my shoes! The tests where over in a matter of seconds because I was so adimant in reaching the Light. One test... they fondeled me with a beautiful naked child. I heard a big deep voice say "Let's see how he reacts to flesh." I just kept on saying LIGHT! and I kept going higher and higher.

At one point I finally had a taste of the Light. It was so beautiful. I deep tunnel opened in front of me and it was pure Light. But it was gone so soon. I had to engage my hand jets on overdrive to just keep going.

I went to sleep 12 am, projected immediately and got back at 2 am. I was out there for 2 hours!

Thanks for reading all my crazy AP experiences.

Last night was weird...

There's three modes of dreaming for me. There is dreaming asleep, that's usually what most dreams are for most people. There is dreaming lucidly, that's dreaming awake. And there is what I call dreaming the Dreamer, where you and your dreamer are not different but One. Last night I dreamed with my Dreamer.

When I'm lucid and I'm dreaming the Dreamer I am a different person. This person has confidence, he's super smart, very handsome, and very skillful. It's like lucidity but you are lucid as this new person with new memories and new skills. The dreamer in us is always our best selves. He is humorous, light sided, and always ready to do a good deed.

Well last night I was my Dreamer and I went down "the  Well". It all started by me exiting my body and going through the wall. Outside was this girl dressed in a lavender dress with loose skirts. She was pretty and told me to get in the Jeep which was parked next to my house and was red and white. She said that we were going to the Well so I could learn it. She also said she was sent by the Collaborators. This is a group of entities that have helped me before. The first time I met them they did an amazing healing on me.

We started driving and soon we were out of my neighborhood and into a dense forest road. The trees looked purple and blue and it was on the dark side. We came upon a large stone building and got out of the Jeep by a gate that went out back. I followed my friend behind the small castle looking building toward a huge hole in the ground. There stood the Well. It was large with a diameter of perhaps 4 meters and looking down it looked deep with no water immediately discernible. That's when my friend did something to me and I became my Dreamer.

It's difficult to say what we did but me and this girl went down this Well and she showed me things. I was lucid in the astral not as a normal person but as this super me. I had access to all my astral knowledge and I used it to do mysterious things inside and down this well. Being back to my normal self I cannot recall exactly what we did but I remember a silence so quiet that it was deafening. Whatever this place was, it was not part of everyday life and it was special. From the intense quiet rose a song of silence yet I could hear it with my extended senses. It was audible but not with my ears but with my feeling. We went deeper and deeper down the Well. At this point I can't remember what else it was I discovered. I think those memories belong to my Dreamer only and are part of the other. The other part that I remember was visual like seeing a ring of fractals all around me.

Told ya... it was a weird night.   :-)

Shineling,

Your experiences sound very cool and intriguing!  Being that you are able to AP at will do you find yourself getting bored or do you look forward to them?  I'm just wondering if you feel that you learn anything from your experiences or are they just adventures for you?  I have only experienced a few spontaneous OBE's but am dedicated to learning more about my spiritual side however or wherever that takes me.  A few nights ago I was in a Lucid dream where at one point I was given a artificial hand attached to a stick and was told to put it against my heart.  As I cupped the artificial hand with my hand against my chest I felt vibrations and saw energy/sparks and than my whole body was vibrating.  I was starting to wake up and tried to initiate an OBE but I just ended up falling asleep and went directly into a False Awakening dream.  Hopefully next time I will be able to do the exit!

Cheers!

Hey T-Man... yeah I love APing. The only time it gets boring is when I have regular asleep dreams. That's when I go to sleep and I'm not that lucid. It feels like watching someone else dream. I really enjoy the lucid state because it opens up all kinds of possibilities. And I am an explorer by nature... so I'm always exploring and it never gets old although maybe I've become used to certain aspects of the AP. Still, it's like a big project that one is always working on and it always seems to change and grow over time with new knowledge.

That is an interesting experience T-Man... sounds like you were being guided by the guardian force. You'll encounter it as a force that takes care of you or teaches you things in the astral. Keep at it and try to watch yourself falling asleep. That's how i learned. Be vigilant and slowly sink into sleep.

Last night was interesting...

I went to sleep and between wakefulness and falling asleep I heard these little Faery voices chatting. They sounded mischievous and really a little scary. One thing about astral projecting I think is that you invite a lot of stuff to come in. I really don't know what to do about that aspect of OOBEing besides clear my room and put up wards.

Anyway...

After I heard these little pip-squeak voices chatting to each other besides my bed I immediately astral projected to see what they where.

On the floor was this little ping-pong ball of astral energy. When I approached it, it moved away.

I quickly nabbed it in my hands from the floor and took a closer look.

The little voices were apparenlty coming from inside this ball. They were apparently upset. I could hear them talking to each other like they were in trouble. The ball in my hands was buzzing and vibrating.

They sounded so Faery like little woodsen creatures. They were probably out to play. They just happened to be playing in my room!

I grabbed the ball and went outside. I made a good distance between my house and put it on the grass. Immediately it started rolling away with little laughs and squeaks. I heard a few ridicules in my directions before it vanished from sight.

I hope they don't come back though!

Reading AP experiences are so interesting, yet so frustrating for me wanting these experiences lol. Anywho, 25 years...wow, bravo for keeping at it! 8-)

Your suggestion is straightforward, but I hope you don't mind a few more questions. 25 years is a long road so I would think there's more to share regarding the practice.

Before bed, are you doing anything else, like meditation? Mantras?

Nowadays the typical suggestion is to make these attempts after about 4-6 hours of sleep when rem sleep increases (this is called WBTB wake back to bed). Get the deep sleep out of the way, then try. However, it sounds like you do this right when you go to bed at night?

With the advice you give of watching ourselves as we fall asleep, do you have any other tips? Are you really just watching? No internal dialogue or what I call an "anchor"  to aide you mind from falling asleep (examples include repeating a mantra, counting, or imagining a scene)?

Well... I think it's very simple to just watch yourself. But the letting go is tougher. You have to retain a tiny piece of awareness awake... kinda sorta hide in this little piece of lucidity. And if you can carry it after most of your brain is asleep you can come forward then and slip out. I also think there is a sticky membrane that at first glues our astral and physical bodies together. You have to loosen up this membrane over time so you can quickly exit. You just roll out without any problems eventually. I think you can advance to the level of possibly projecting your astral body to the physical reality. So you could project like Luke Did in the last Star Wars or project like Don Juan did in the Castaneda books. I think it was called the double or dreamer self. You could project it physically and it was achieved through astral projection and dreaming.

It is indeed a "balancing act". But, it's achievable. The more you experience it, the deeper your "own" control over and during the experience, will be.
I say it like the band 38 Special says it, "hold on loosely, but don't let go"!  8-) Once you learn to do this, you will find many "Doorways" opening in front of you!

I enjoyed reading your experiences Shineling!  8-) I won't try to dissect them though. Only "you" know or will soon learn their true meaning!  :wink:

Thanks Lumaza. I think some APs are prone to translation because we are dreamers and we dream things. There is a huge astral world though which dreamers and people populate and co-create.

Last night I went to a not so good place. You could immediately tell it was a real place because the experience was so solidly lucid. I appeared on a vast plane like a flat desert. I saw some rude building up ahead. They weren't pretty, built strictly for function. Inside these building were rooms full of children. The place stank of human slobbery. The kids were wearing rags and packed into many small rooms. Most rooms had some kind of small television hung up on the wall.

I don't know who these kids were but there were tons. As I left the building a saw one adult walking toward me. She was just as dirty. She freaked me out so I wasn't going to talk to her. As she walked passed me she spoke and said, "Hello Death."

I guess she didn't see many of my kind here wherever kids are kept in slums like they've been thrown away. It also felt like my guiding force was showing me something of the "real world".

There's all kinds of places like that... I call them the badlands. Thankfully there are wonderful beautiful places which we can attain. It has to do with being a good person and showing your soul to God... so you can form a relationship with the Universe. Whatever that force is we're a part of it and we need to foster a relationship that will guarantee a good there after.

I became lucid in the middle of a dream. Me and two regulars of my circle where being carted through a lush forest at night on three plush bean bags. They are just two friends I made in the astral and we go on adventures together. I don't really know them in real life but they seemed to be real people under the scrutiny of lucidly. So we hang out sometimes... I'll call them Bill and Ted.

The bean bags carried us through the night forest into a cool looking elephant park! It was made of stone with deep ancient carvings. We got out of the bean bags and checked out the park. The elephants were friendly and a little one ran around with us. So cute... We got on the bean bags and continued on. The bean bags deposited us on the steps of a monestary and we checked that out.

It was a white washed building made of stone and it was dark and quiet except in every room there are lots of candles on. But there is not a soul around.

We hiked down a path into town and there was a deathly still in the streets except for this huge cathedral where light was shining through. We entered and there was this huge dance going on with loud music. The music couldn't not be heard until we opened the door.

I guess this is where I go into the dream because I remember really enjoying myself. Wish those memories were clearer but they fade in the light of day.

I was lucid again for one more moment. It was the inside of that large cathedral but dark now and full of beds. Everyone had gone to sleep. Me and my friends said goodbye and then we found our beds.

I exited my body and since I fell asleep on my couch, I exited through the front door. The street was dark and I immediately looked to see which houses had their lights turned on. This means I can go in there and explore. But none of the houses looked like my neighborhood... and as I walked down the street toward some lights I started seeing these huge heads above me. It was as if behind the houses there where lots of giraffes and their necks sorta made an arch over the street. But the giant giraffes over the street had the most alien and amazing faces. It was so real... I could see every detail of these animal things watching me walk down the street and I wondered what power it was that could be so artful.

Well tonight was a breakthrough... I finally got the knack of total freedom of freedom and freedom of creation. At one point I got hungry and me and a group of people made dinner by just imagining different dishes and pointing to a spot on the table. It tasted wonderful too. Not like my previous astral food.

I got to watch the movies at this theater with a few people and we weren't just watching the movie we were creating it from our very own enhanced imaginations. They would add something and then I would add something and it appeared right on the screen. And things started reacting to each other until we were all laughing in our seats! Astral has some great tv.

I had sex with three hot babes and it was good fun sex that lasted quite awhile and didn't make me wake up. I climaxed just fine this time (it's tough for boys in the astral) but this time it worked. When I woke I saw I had had a nightly emission. Oh well...

I could fly and jump 100 feet at a time and the architecture of the buildings were so beautiful, whitewashed, and clean. Everyone I met was super friendly and in a happy mood. I was doing things I never have before, creating a world out of nothing and sharing the world that had already been created by others. It was a beautiful AP. This is what it's all about and I can't wait to see that world with those special astral eyes that makes everything so sharp and colorful.

Btw, I had just finished watching a documentary of the Tibetan Book of the Dead when I drifted asleep. It may have sparked something, lol.

If it's the one I am thinking of, it was quite good!  :-o

I find that a lot of those Documentaries seem to "spark" something in me as well! But I like and invite it!  :-D 8-)

Hey Lumaza, yeah I think it's like the only decent video on the topic. They actually show monks reading the bardo teachings to the dead. Here is some of it on YouTube...

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5rs7akm87x4 (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5rs7akm87x4)


I was just thinking that APing is a really good way of preparing for the afterlife. They say life is so short so we should enjoy it. But the next life is long so we should prepare for it. So I wonder if the AP experience is in any way similar to the after life or what is beyond death?

From what I've heard, the Masters say that the afterlife is very similar to dreaming. But I wonder if that is really true. I hope it is.

I've seen and talked to my father who is dead these past 5 years. He seems in a happy mood and the last time I was with him we laughed together. The next time I see him I want to ask him questions like what was death like and of course if he's doing ok. I hope he can answer those questions because that would point to an awakened mind point of view.

I was watching a documentary on the Tibetan Book of the Dead and what seems at the core of the teachings is that we want to recognize our awake minds once we've passed. It's a source of peace and knowledge, our awake minds. To recognize our awake minds is enough to liberate our souls from confusion.  It's the truth of our souls that shines forth in so much Light. Well I'd definitely like to see that. But what got my attention was that this awake state is very much like the lucid state in APing. By recognizing that we are lucid we untimately achieve freedom because recognizing that we are awake is recognizing our own godhood. We don't just recognize that we have magic... we are that magic. We are not just part of the Universe... we are the same Universe dreaming itself.

Hmmmmmm.....  :-)

That's what William Buhlman and some other noted authors of AP teach.

A few weeks back I heard a Radio interview with a man named Father Nathan Castle. He teaches people on "death's door" to actually prepare for their "afterlife party". He has them make a list of whom they wish to attend it. I really enjoyed his take on all of this.  8-) He uses the teachings of the Monks and their idea of a Bardo state, in his talks, as well.

Here is one of his recent interviews on this topic. It's not the one I listened to on Midnight in the Desert a month or so ago.

Thanks for the links Lumaza! I checked them out and they where good. Learned a thing or two... thanks again.

After a few nights of restless sleep and forboding dreams I finally had a joyous astral projection.

I looked around my room. It was quiet and homey. I quickly went out my wall and sprung into the air. I noticed that I was lighter than usual - almost as if something or someone was helping me float.

It was another beautiful night. The stars where out and they sparkled from above making the dark night gleam with a light all its own. I headed down the street floating on a cushion of air. I saw some people in their car driving my way and I heard their thoughts as the car passed under me.

"Look Mama, a flying boy!"

"That's amazing," commented the Father.

"That's one of God's children honey."

"Am I a God's children?"

The Mother laughed and said, "Of course you are darling. Someday we'll all get to fly like that."

I was a little startled. Everyone flies in their dreams... unless they don't know they are dreaming. The people in that car did not know they where asleep and in the astral. They were half-aware.

I headed North toward Canada. I picked up an incredible speed and traveled through valleys and neighborhoods full of green bushy trees and nestled little houses with their porch lights on. At one point I got tired and felt like landing.

I smoothly touched down on a stretch of road in some neighborhood in some city in some state. There where a few people there to greet me - a group of boys playing ball in the evening twilight.

"Wow! Where did you come from?" one of the boys asked. I felt like Superman just coming down from the sky.

"I'm from down South in Florida. Where am I now?" I asked.

"You're in Wisconsin!" one of the older boys said.

Winconsin? I sure had made the trip North alright!

They where very excited about my aerial acrobatics and wanted to try it themselves. They weren't very good at it though. They couldn't fly at all. Someone offered me a helmet and said I should use it in case I fell down out of the sky. I put on the helmet and
it felt really good on my head.

They wanted to take me into their house. I knew they where dreaming and not in complete awareness but I played along. They took me into their building where they wanted me to "watch some TV with them". Oh oh! The earmarks of a phantom trap! I quickly made my exit through a window which made them very mad. "Come back here you bastard!"

I continued flying North. I saw beautiful pastures, and lakes with little islands. There was an island full of beautiful girls in bikinis who made me want to stop. They where having a party with a bon-fire and I could hear the music blasting.

Near shore's edge I spotted a lonesome girl. She was just standing there looking out unto the lake. I landed right next to her. She jumped in surprise. I smiled and she smiled back. I slowly put my arm around her shoulder and leaned in for a kiss. She leaned in as well and our lips touched.

And then I woke up!

What a pleasent and joyful AP. It was just what I had needed.

Last night I became lucid on a strange plane. There was some kind of regime going on this plane and there where soldiers walking the streets. Things looked organized but there were the start of dilapidated buildings and there was some refuse in the streets.

I saw a circus on one corner and a small mob was buying tickets trying to get in. The people were dressed in tacky worn clothes. I jumped the fence and went into the circus. I entered a tent where a few acrobats were practicing. I watched for awhile and then someone came over to me. It was one of the acrobats. He had a big mustache. "You shouldn't be here. You're in the wrong place. If you come with me I can get you out." He seemed earnest so I followed.

We went behind the tent into another tent that was dark and full of boxes. In one dark corner was a small tunnel in the corner. "Follow me," said the man and he got on all fours and went in. I followed. At the other end was a makeshift gang plank in mid air. All around was black but I could see that it was a bridge leading upward in thin wooden planks.

I finally made it to the other side and had to squueze through this silky tunnel at the end. What met my eyes stunned me. It was a garden eden of some sort. There were green hills that went on forever and small groves of trees dotted the land. The sun was out and the sky was that pure astral blue. The man had turned into some kind of minotaur but he looked badass with horns. The Minotaur said, "Stay here." And then he was gone, back into the tunnel.

I wanted to share one tip that has really helped me in the AP process. That tip is that I save my sexual energy. I think this more than anything has helped me improve my successes in astral projecting.

I didn't "get it" for like a 6 months. I stopped jerking off so much... maybe 1 time every week to 10 days. After I started doing this I started projecting on a regular basis and having many more lucid dreams. It does take a measure of discipline of course but I save it for my APs because sometimes sex can happen. That's ok as long as it happens in the astral. I look forward to my sexual encounters in the astral so I save my sexual energy down here on Earth.

Like I said, it took me awhile to notice the benefits but I totally believe that saving sexual energy as much as possible can really help humans project more often and lucidly.

I found the same thing- That saving sexual energy promoted my NP experiences early on. Just my guess but that may have to do with the higher energy requirements that etheric and early astral experiences require; it gets easier as you go along.

shineling, one insight you may discover is that the discipline required to conserve your sexual energy on the Physical Plane is also required in how you handle your activities on the Etheric and Astral Planes, in order to advance or make progress. Fear is the first emotion to bring under control; then the sexual impulse must be controlled; without learning to do so limits the experiences available to you.

An interesting aspect of the NP is that many answers can be freely given; the difficulty is that you must put them into practice. Only then does one truly learn and know.

Thanks for that... I think sex gets transcended by older more experienced beings. I think it's part of the natural cycle of our lives as universal beings not just humans. Young souls probably have more sex than older souls. Sex itself can be trancendental but I think it obscures the higher and finer mysteries.

If someone asked me to choose between sex and the higher mysteries I'd choose the higher mysteries. But given the option, I'd like to experience both. That's why I think it's part of everyone's cycle. That's what beings do.... they grow and evolve.

I exited my body in one smooth motion by rolling out towards the left and then through the wall. Everything looked normal and it was a dark night. I headed towards my back yard. Instead of the fence that is usually there separating my neighbor's yard, there were lots of trees like a forest and a small dirt path leading into it.

My two cats were there too. I don't know if I was dreaming them or if they were also APing. In the real world they were on my bed next to me asleep. They where playing and chasing each other. They started running down the path and so I followed.

The forest got deeper and deeper and then we made it to a clearing where the forest opened up. There was a nice bluish light surrounding everything so that instead of a scary dark forest, it felt homey and welcoming. There was a small pond there which was fed by a small gurgling river on the right. Toward the left was a hill where the land rose in a series of tiers. The tiers were connected by small stairs which where made of stone.

My two kitties disappeared and I looked around a little concerned. I spent awhile looking for them until in a lucid moment I realized and remembered I was APing. I figured they where alright and went up some stairs to the third tier of the hill. There was a gazebo there with benches and I sat down and just relaxed for awhile. My view wandered around my surroundings and I spied several people who were sitting on benches too above and below me.

Suddenly a group of girls came walking toward me. They where talking and very animated. One girl had short blond hair and was dressed in a nice little one piece with a very short skirt exposing her beautiful white legs. This was the girl that stopped and looked at me. "You have such nice hair," she said to me. "How do you get it to shine like that?" This came as a surprise to me so I just said what popped into my head. "I just wash it." She went on about my hair some more, lol, and then she took my hand. The other girls had gone and she sat down next to me and we held hands. I cuddled her hand and rubbed it a little and it felt really good.

I woke up a little after that and felt really happy. Sometimes all you need is for someone to hold your hand.  :-)

I haven't been APing lately... just a little here and there. But last night I decided to AP on purpose again. I got in my bean bag and got into my blanket and fell asleep. I watched myself falling asleep and I was tired so it was easy. At some point I fell asleep and dreamed that I'd go outside and take a look to see how things would be when I APed. Isn't that super weird? I dreamed about APing or something!

Anyway, I woke up some and this time I counciously APed. I got out of my bean bag in my astral body and went outside the front door. The first thing I saw were stars.

The sky was littered with some of the brightest stars I'd ever seen. The street was really dark but not black and the darkness felt thrilling. I looked down the street for any lights but there were none... except one. Far down the street was a lit bulb on a building like a church. I engaged my speeder-bike move and was there in a matter of seconds.

I was in front of the building and cars where going by in the street. I think I saw a jazzed up cop car. It was cool looking. I went into the building. At the desk was an old man with a little hat. I think he was like a security guard or something. Anyway, we introduced ourselves and went on to talk about APing and dreams. In the end I think I was talking to a fully conscious entity who understood me and had concepts pertaining to his own individualized experience. I just don't think he knew he was asleep. Maybe it was like two dreamers meeting... except I knew I was dreaming. Or maybe he was a phantom.. he obviously had some kind of life but I am stuck not knowing who these people are that populate my dreams and APs.

I've been having great APs lately. Here is one from a few days ago.

I exited my body and slipped through my bedroom wall. I was outside and it was just dawning. Some of the neighborhood porch lights where still on so I picked the nearest house with a light and opened the door. Inside was a dark tunnel that went on a few meters toward an archway where I could see blue sky. I went down the tunnel and came out the other side.

I saw kids everywhere. Mostly teenagers around sixteen years of age. Everyone was playing. Some where playing volleyball and soccer or rocking on swings or running or just in groups talking. It was a huge playground! Around the playground where two story houses in all colors. A group of young guys came toward me and we started talking.

Something was happening to my vision... it was hard to keep focused. "What's wrong?" said one of the boys. "It's my eyes, I can't see." The boy grabbed me by the bridge of the nose near my eyes and did something and suddenly I could see again. "Thanks, that's better," I said. "Come with us, there's a healer in one of the houses. They'll take a look at you." I agreed and followed the leader to this pointy two story house.

We went into the house but there was a line to see the healer. I could feel myself waking up and I was antsy to see the healer because I knew I didn't have enough time to wait. Suddenly I was lifted into the air, floated up the stairs and into the healer's room. There where many people inside. It was a pretty big room and it was carpeted with soft white carpet. I heard a voice say, "Ok now, everyone lay down on the floor. Now close your eyes and try to go to sleep."

I was gently dropped on a clear spot on the floor and I lay down. Around me I could see many young boys and girls doing the same. The lights dimmed and I closed my eyes and was still. The healing was about to begin.

I was a little afraid. Like going to the doctor. Some really depressing things that are going on in my life right now came to the forefront of my mind. Before I knew it, I was crying like a baby. I was so sad. Then... then... I felt something crazy! Imagine being hit in the face with water from a hose on high. That's what it felt like. But it wasn't ordinary water. It was happy water because as I was drenched with water I got so happy!

I started laughing out loud and the hose continued to water me all over my body. I laughed so hard! I was full of joy! And that's how I woke up... laughing my butt off in bed. It lasted the entire day. It felt like I was joyous and free all day and had this little glow in my heart.

Whatever that magic water was, it certainly did the trick. I don't think I've ever been that happy and laughed so hard. I wonder where that water comes from and who is in charge of dispersing it. It was a healing session after all.  :lol: :-P

That was beautiful experience from the higher dimensional healers. Would that we could bottle that water. Thanks for sharing this one shineling.

Awesome experience shineling!  I guess it is true what they say...Laughter is the best medicine!  :lol:

Hey thanks! I'm glad someone is reading my wierd aps!  :-D  It's interesting when I have cool APs. Makes me think there is certainly an order to the Universe... and it's beautiful :-) Gives me such hope! :lol:

I concur, what an awesome experience! Do you blog your experiences anywhere other than here, Shineling?

 Hey OmCasey, thanks. No... I'm not blogging anywhere else. But it's a good idea. Maybe I'll look into it. It's not really a big deal, I just enjoy writing down my experiences before I forget them. So for now, I'm fine just blogging here...  :-)

This AP scared me a little because it was on the intense side. It all started in a dream I was having. I felt a slight breeze tickle my face and I snapped into full lucidity! Snap!

I was with friends and they were all excited - a storm was coming. A serious storm. An Awareness Storm. The information was percolating through my network of friends and we were all getting ready. We just wouldn't be lucid, we would be super lucid!

I don't exactly know how the information was spreading, but all my family and friends were congregating. We would take shelter at this building we all knew and usually take shelter in. I seemed to have access to a new vast knowledge about my astral life and could see how me and all my friends were connected to each other. A sort of astral network or community.

I found myself walking down a street with a group of my closest friends toward the building were we would take shelter. I was extra-lucidly aware of everything and had access to all my astral memories. The wind had picked up considerably and I could hear a low ominous moaning coming from the sky. It was dark and flashes of lighting were shooting down. Someone started screaming, "Run! Run! Run!"

We just made it to the building when the storm hit. Everyone found a room and hunkered down. The thing about an awareness storm is that it super-charges one's awareness. It can make someone extremely uncomfortable. Some see it as a chance to explore their awareness but there's always a chance of loosing control and going crazy.

Outside the storm began screaming! As every screech came, my awareness would peak into a climax, and I had access to the deepest depths of my consciousness. I kneeled down in a corner and put my head between my knees. It was painful and totally disconcerting. Every time the storm would screech I kept getting more and more awareness. It was painful in that way. Too much awareness! Too much lucidity! Ahhhh!

Then someone was holding my hand. I looked up and it was my best-friend's sister. We hardly knew each other in real-life, but under the effects of the storm I could remember an ancient history together. Lifetimes and lifetimes together. In many of them we had been married. Another storm screech went by and then she was in my arms and we held each other for dear life. Thanks to my super-charged awareness I could feel every part of her as we clung to one another. In essence we became one being.

The storm continued outside but we found relief in each other. Instead of the uncomfortable pain of too much consciousness we began looking forward to the storm surges. We would climax together and could feel infinity and eternity between us. It had absolutely nothing to do with sex. It felt like I had found my soul mate... someone who knew me and fit together with me perfectly. At this point any awareness of sex was obsolete. It was Love but love so pure and untainted by any carnal awareness. I have never felt anything like it in this current life. It was deep man... At one point we started conversing mind to mind and it was so blissful and intoxicating to share one mind.

I don't know how long we were lost in each other but the storm eventually blew off and me and all my friends "woke up".

Now, as I write this I realize that we are beings who live in two realities. One is our waking life but the other is our astral life and both are just as valid. It's in all our lucid experiences but also in all those we can't remember. We still have so much to discover about ourselves and this universe which we are a part of.

I've been having some crazy APs lately. Some are worth sharing...

I was at this place that looked like Mars. I was on top of this tall tall cliff and I was just sitting there on it's edge. The drop off must have been a mile deep. And there was this low and lonely moan of the wind. It was such a weird and lonely place but it was beautiful.

Then I had one were after I exited my body, outside was this swirling hole with energy spiraling inward. Something told me it was a "fox hole" and it could take you wherever you wanted. So I jumped in. I appeared in this beautiful neighborhood. The houses looked super modern. There where trees surrounding each house and there where canals of water between the houses (some of them). The design was beautiful in simplicity. I saw two people approaching on a sidewalk and realized they where wearing cat suits. They looked super cute these kitty suits. I went up to the nearest house and I saw my last name on the mailbox. There was also a number on the mailbox, it was 4463. I didn't want to go in so I checked out one of the canals. It ran straight between the houses and it wasn't exactly water. It was this golden color and it looked filmy and thick and lusterly. It was beautiful golden amber color. I wanted to touch it but that's the moment I woke up.

One more... I became lucid at this place high up in the sky. I was inside the building and there was a huge wide opening that led to a docking bay. There where a couple ships docked but the sky was so so so blue. I could have started at it forever. Anyway, some guy comes up to me and scans me with this device. He reads the scanner and asks me to come with him. So I follow him into this other area with lab equipment. This guy shows the scanner to the lab technician. "My my! A 68 particle!" The techs now, take a sample from my skin real fast and puts it under a microscope. It was a next level microscope it was flashing something fierce. This cute girl, one of the lab techies I guess, stars making eyes with me and smiles. The next part is weird too... I guess they invite me to set up my own project bench and start my own project. I realize it's just a bunch of advanced humans setting up cool astral projects in the astral.

I'll try to keep this thread updated from time to time and let you know how I'm doing. Peace...

One thing about APing is that sometimes you bump into things - or things bump into you.

I fell asleep and exited... but it wasn't my room I exited into. It was a beautiful room in the sky. The room was in a tower and it opened up to the sky. Curtains of silk flew from the columns with a steady breeze.

Suddenly, the bed starts shacking and drops right down into the earth. A trip straight to hell. At the bottom is this green skinned being who looks like he's getting out of this black ooze.

Anyway, he morphs to a handsome human and introduces himself as the Devil.

He showed me things... his harem... from which he offered me my pick of beautiful babes. Then he showed me three movies he was obviously proud of. Him and his retinue seemed excited about those movies. Then we went drinking... in Hell. He was obviously talented in the world of the astral but I doubt he was really Satan. Lol... I hope not anyway. Peace...

Heaven and hell, the two most iconic places dreamed of on earth and you go to both shineling, lol.

Wow bungalow, couldn't have said it better myself. :)

Hey guys, thanks for responding. Well... if the Devil has come for me, I don't think he's the devil that everyone thinks. The real devil comes deep rooted in nature... a sort of godhead. If he showed up I think as an ally I might consider it...

I like flying too. I fly more than I did before and they are sometimes guided. I went up and up and up one time and found innumerable worlds on top of each other. It just went on and on.

But I've enjoyed exploring my neighborhood a lot. I've been outside my house in darkness at 3 am out of body and it's something else. It's a world between realities and it blows my mind everytime. I started going into other houses. None is ever locked. They just open and the crazy worlds they that each leads to. Each one a fantastic adventure. I stay away from the really dark houses because they are scary. So mostly I just do the ones with porch lights on. It's almost an invitation because it's not really your neighborhood... it's your quantum reflection of your neighborhood... and that belongs personally to you... part of your quantum signature. Anyway, it's always out there... just get out of your body and you're there!

:-D

Last night I traveled to the farthest reaches of my known universe visiting alien worlds I never knew existed. It started like any normal AP. I flew around free as a bird looking for anything interesting. Well last night I found it. I came upon this laughing little girl. She seemed so strange and half there almost. I approached this being because it was new to my experience and wanted to find out what she or it was. Just a little laughing ghost girl dressed in strange Japanese tights it seemed. She just happened to be a scout from a galaxy far far away.

As soon as I touched her I was transported a million dimensions away. I ended up in a world inconceivable from mine. This world was perhaps millions of years ahead of us. They had astral technology and guided my astral body into a docking bay while I could hear a read-out of my body's abilities, "three raptures, two blades, and 309 maneuvers". What where they talkin about?

I could see part of their astral technology as it held my astral body like a spider with millions of fibers of silk. It didn't seem so strange to me that other advanced civilizations would have astral airports and astral worlds on top of their physical worlds. I could see thousands of other souls coming into the airport, being grabbed by these silky pads, and being guided into the terminal. It was so beautiful. I wondered what kind of transformation a civilization must undergo to be able to grasp such concepts as astral technology. Not just that... a whole astral reality based on their physical reality with rules and laws of its own. Wow I thought.

I was set loose upon this alien world. When I asked one of the airport employees why I was being let go into their astral society he said, "Just part of professionalism." These guys had an open door policy for tourists.

I saw a LOT of weird crap. I saw plants that walked around with little briefcases making errands in this large city. I saw strange looking people, some tall, some short, with all kinds of weird looks. Some looked like blue kitty-cats, some looked like pink koala bears. I passed a pet shop and saw a little girl (I think) playing with a bunch of tribble-like creatures. I held one and it purred in my hand. It was a wonderful sensation. I entered a park with huge fruit trees and asked a park employee if I could take a fruit from the tree. "Sure," he said, "it's just part of professionalism." I bit into it and it was the most tasty astral meal to date. I got to watch some of their television on some screens they had outside. It was AMAZING! I have never seen such eye-candy in my life. I just stared at it for the longest time. The commercials where the absolute best!

Anyway... I've never had an AP like this one. It was out there man. I can't believe there are places like that.

Shineling,

Who needs the Disney channel when you have AP's like that!  Very awesome experience!

Lol.  :-D Thanks T-Man. If I see baby Yoda out there I'll let you guys know. :-P

I've been staying mostly in lately and just catching up on sleep. But last night I decided to exit... so I drifted off and when I felt the time was right I exited. As I was exiting though I felt a tremendous pull on my astral body and halfway out I was ripped from my physical body. This dark force took me away into an immense black void. I started praying for someone or something to get me out...

Then I saw like a bright dust appear. As it spread beneath me I could suddenly tell they where the lights of a wooden village. Then there was a hill and a sky and I landed. It seemed to be twilight and I was at the bottom of a large foresty hill. Below me I could see a beautiful little town with smoke chiminies going in the evening sky. I saw someone approaching... it was a man in a robe coming down the hill on a small dirt path. He looked Asian and wise. He stopped before me and I addressed him. "Are you a Master?" I asked hopeful I had stumbled unto a wizened being. "No," he said, "just out for a walk." He then proceeded down the hill toward the village. I followed...

I lost sight of the man but came upon a few people as I neared the village. They where sitting in a circle with a bowl in the middle. They called out to me to join them and I took a seat in the circle. Then, one of the girls reached into the pot in the middle and pulled out a small figurine of a dolphin. She threw it into the air and it exploded into a zillion particles. Next thing I know there are real live dolphins swimming around us yipping and yapping happy as can be. Everyone started laughing until they went away. We went through like 3 more figurines before I woke up. One was an octopus where octopuses appeared. Then there were sea horses and then sea stars. It was an interesting AP even though it started kinda bad...  :-)

You stayed with it though. Kudos for that!  :-) 8-) That's what happens when you pass the initial fear test. You get to reap the rewards of your bravery!  :-)

Just curious, what's a "sea star"?

Thanks Lumaza! I was really scared there for a little bit...  :-) Here is what sea stars look like:

lol! man that's awesome!!! that made me giggle i wish i could see that :D

your AP's are super interesting. your last one with the dolphins is so cool too. sounds like you
may have been in a place where they kinda knew maybe you were just "popping in" :)

I been to restaurants over there or almost like little bars... nicest people ever... I think they knew i was kinda from earth and they had no part of earth and knew i was learning. we were all drinking sodas hanging out and then went flying. so these people knew how it worked in the non physical... sometimes i have gone to worlds and walk through a wall and people look at me like i am insane. i accidentally went into this guys house once in the astrals because i lost track of where i was going... passed through too many places.... and i asked him for information on the world i was in. he looked at me like i just broke into his home and then i floated upward and i thought his mouth was gonna hit the floor. it shocked me he didn't understand he could do that over there.

i seen fire trucks just like here and big malls... it blew me away but in the non physical depending where you go there seems to be lots of tvs just like here... people watch movies and eat over there together.... how bad can the afterlife be?!?

Hey Mars, thanks for sharing!

I know what you mean about astral people... sometimes they seem like they know all about Eartly life and sometimes they are profoundly ignorant. I went to this astral plane and was talking to these guys and I asked them what planet I was on. "What's a planet?" they said. I tried to explain about planets and how they revolve around stars. They had no idea what I was talking about and they thought I was crazy. Lol.

Then some astral people do know about Earth. One time I was with this group and they where asking me all kinds of questions about Earth. "Do you smoke?" "No, I gave it up," I said. "It is a disgusting habit." Or one time I was in a hospital of the newly deceased and this girl was crying and saying, "I'm gonna miss my life. I wish I could watch Being Human one more time." (Which is a movie I found out with Robin Williams. Wierd huh?

I've also seen a lot of tv screens myself. Even devices like iPads and cell phones but astral versions where you get your email zapped straight into your brain. I guess technology might be a universal thing. Yeah, after APing for years I am very hopeful about the afterlife. I'm trying to accumulate all the good karma I can get so I end up on a nice astral plane.

Anyway, thanks for responding... see you out there.  :-)

I had a neat lucid dream I thought I'd share. I became lucid as I was walking down a forest trail. Then I saw a grove of giant sequoia trees and looked up into their giant branches. It was so familiar to me and that's when I knew I had been here many times in my travels. It was like a big recollection... "Oh! The Grove!"

There where people there too that came out of the forest to greet me. I didn't just know them, I remembered having spent years with them here in "the Grove". This had been my home for a long time... maybe even before I had been born. There where many people who presented themselves to me and amazingly I knew most of their names. We played a little game where one by one someone came forward and it was my job to remember their name. Everytime i remembered correctly they would all clap and holler.

The Grove was like an astral park where souls would come replenish themselves. There was Eugene... our leader who took care of us and the Grove. We all took care of our beautiful forest. And there was a river where spirits would wade in to heal themselves. It was our job to guide the souls through the Grove (and the river) and make sure everyone was taken care of.

I met this special girl there that was instantly recognizable to me. I have never seen this person in real life but yet in the astral I remembered a long history of friendship between us. She came up to me at one point and said, "Do you remember me? We share a deep connection." And it was true... I totally felt for this girl and remembered her name.

We all gathered together and Eugene led us into the river. It was quite beautiful. I felt replenished. Then they all put on a show under the Grove with aerial acrobatics. There was a small audience of souls that had come to be healed and we all ah and oohed.

I woke up feeling like I had recovered a piece of my astral history. I hope I get to go back there again. I can't wait to see it again and have that Home feeling one more time.  :-)

 Very cool experience Shineling! Keep them coming!  :-) 8-)

Thanks Lumaza! I'll try to post the good APs. Unfortunately, sometimes I have negative APs... and they aren't very pleasant. I guess it's just the nature of the universe... I'll try to keep it on the light side.

Speaking of light side... I just took a nap and I APed. Here is something worth sharing I think.

I've been so sad lately. My kitty got run over a few days ago. Anyway, I exited my body and saw my dead kitty Jaxy on the couch! I was so happy to see him. He looked healthy and alive and as I petted him he started purring like usual. The cool thing was I also saw my other cat who is currently napping. I've suspected for a long time that cats are expert APers. Well, we had ourselves a little reunion my two kitties and me and it made me happy. I've been missing my kitty so much since he left us. This made it better.

I used to have a tabby and when he died I saw him in my APs for months after. Maybe they hang around for awhile.... they sorta transition over gradually... maybe.

shineling,

Always enjoy reading your AP's!  Sorry to hear about your kitty.  Always tough loosing a member of the family.  I had my cat from when he was only about 6 weeks old but had to put him down last year.  He was a couple months shy of 20 years!

I just wanted to comment about seeing your kitty during your AP.  A few years ago while my cat was still alive I had been napping on the sofa and my cat was also sleeping nearby in the living room.  I had a spontaneous OBE (RTZ) and I saw my cat walking around as well even though I knew he was sleeping.  I believe they AP all the time and probably explains why they sleep so much!

Keep up the great posts!

Regarding those awful things known as cats...

I'm definitely a dog guy...yet my neighbor rescued a boy and girl cat this last summer. The girl apparently found a home and the weather turned cold for the boy...who continually trotted into my yard to say hello and insinuate himself into my life.

So now he sleeps on my couch, intelligent little creature and perfectly behaved...

So, yeah, I get a bit of what Shine and T are talking about...when it comes to these feline complications...

Thanks T-Man and EscapeVelocity!  :-P

I know what you mean T-Man... it's like a family member passed away. Totally hurts. That's super interesting that you saw your cat in the astral too. Sure explains what they are doing for 14 hours a day! lol.

Hey Escape... I like dogs too. I like cats too though. I'm not sure if dogs AP. I'm sure they do but I've never seen one being I'm a cat owner. Let us know if you catch your dog going through walls or something.  :-P You don't find this ball of fur cute?  :-D I know what you mean tho... cats get into trouble a lot more than dogs.

And then it's like astral people fall into these cliks and groups. Everyone starts to get together and I think that's how astral structures appear - like astral cities and whole planes manifesting to the song of 100,000 people. They are magical places like Fantasia and if you stick in it long enough you become part of it. These can be good healthy astral planes or hellish realms that our natural karma will take us into.

I've been to some "cliks"... like there was this one of astral people trying to help but they got it all wrong and just made things more difficult. Or one where there were only girls, 26 girls, and they balanced themselves with two men only. These two dudes where awesome. And then, there are civilizations... where billions of souls live. Astral civilizations... just think about that!  :-)

There's been three attempts now at astral entities trying to teach me "astral television". First, you need the actual construct of the astral tv. Then you can join your spirit to it and let it develop. Well, last night I actually sat down to see what it was all about. I'd been resisting it because I didn't really want to share myself but I figured they where doing it too. So, I sat down  watched an astral show with a few people.

It was a story about how we were all afraid of each other but that in the end we were all the same. The story developed from all people watching it. It was beautiful seeing us dream together and come to some unified understanding of ourselves.

So astral tv wasn't as bad as I thought it would be... but I still don't want to do it so often. I like the astral tv where I am alone the best. I think we all do... it reminds me of Brave  New World where Alphas would get together to meditate and dream on Soma. It was done once in awhile but not often.

Still, it was beautiful...

Last night, I sneaked out of body and slipped through my wall outside. In the grass was this egg that was shining. I was greatly curious so I picked it up. Something crazy happened however. I was sucked right inside the egg. Inside I saw amazing things.

It was better than astral tv. It was like an iPad egg with virtual apps and games. It was connected straight to my consciousness so I could pick which apps and games to play just by thinking about them.

They had all kinds of stuff! They had social apps that where like channels where people could hang out. They where like mini astral planes that led to other mini astral planes. But some weren't so small. Some where big planes like central hubs where a lot of traffic moved. These where like gateways to many other places.

But my iPad egg also had other apps. I launched the Astral Massage app and was taken into a place where there where beautiful soft shapes that my mind just glided into and it moved and rocked my being to ecstasy.

I played this crazy app... I think it was a game. I was on a boat and Orca whales are coming out of the mountains and splashing into the sea. One moves close and I start riding the whale as it zooms and zags at breakneck speed.

I launched out of the egg and pocketed it for further analysis! :) I hope I get APs like that again.

I'm still APing, just a little different lately. My exiting strategy has gotten easier for me for some reason. Instead of having to creep out of my body like a sheath, I just go to sleep and when I'm tranced enough, I just get out of bed. There's no more physical body that I have to crawl out of. This makes my APs much easier but I really wonder what happened to that pesky physical body. What I think is happening is that I'm exiting on a higher plane... a plane where the physical body is no longer on the radar.

Some of my APs reflect this theory because before when I used to go outside it was pitch black out there. Kinda scary if you ask me... but that's how it used to be for me for a long time. I APed a few nights ago and went outside and it was really beautiful. There was snow on the ground (I live in Florida) and all the houses in my neighborhood were charming log cabins. There where pine trees everywhere and they had Christmas lights on them. It was such a cheerful neighborhood and it was lightly snowing and it was quiet except for the small hush of falling snow.

Then I had another AP worth mentioning where after I exited - or now - when I woke up in the astral  - I went outside and it was dawning a beautiful spring morning. There was a car coming down the street and it stopped right in front of my house. The passenger door popped open as if by magic and the car honked twice. So I get into the car and close the door and the car takes off - driving itself! I was freaked out at first but the "driver" was a good driver because the car managed to steer around curbs just fine. I could see the driving wheel turn all by itself. It was super neato! Anyway, I just sat back and enjoyed the ride and pretended God was at the wheel. I saw all kind of charming neighborhoods and then we got on the highway and God was going real fast! We get off at one point and make it to a dirt road somewhere out in the boonies. Finally we stop at this gorgeous view with mountains that looked like a calendar picture from Montana. It was real pretty.

I'll try to keep the thread updated... just real busy lately. Take care. :)

That seems like a great improvement, bet you're happy. :-)

Those are great experiences shineling! And you recognize that the experiences have shifted to a higher level! The shift from 'pitch black' to 'Spring morning' is just too obvious to ignore...what a great recognition when it happens! I felt like throwing a party when it happened for me!

Riding in the car with all the recognitions you had, strikes me as very symbolic and clearly shows you are allowing your Higher Self to take charge, and on a subconscious level you are recognizing and authorizing it. Very impressive! I look forward to the incoming experiences!

Thanks Nameless, yeah... I'm pretty happy on my current evolution but I still have lingering negativity that creeps up from time to time. I'm working on it and trying to reach for the Light as much as possible.

Thanks Escape Velocity, I didn't really think about it that way until now. Now that I do, however, it makes complete sense! Especially the self driving car. It was a silver SUV btw, a current model.  :-D Thanks for the heads up.  :-)

I woke up in the astral and went outside my house. Outside was the beach, literally. I didn't even have to walk... it was more of a glide. I floated about a foot off the ground and just flew where I wanted. This AP was one that let me experience what it would permanently feel to live in the astral - it lasted so long. First, I explored the beach and got lost in viewing all the people and phenomena. It seems I could float on water as well and that was fun. It seemed to be a twilight setting. At one point I went under a bridge and something got my immediate attention. It was like a sense of smell. And I smelled evil. The closer I got to land there, the more it stank and I could see hungry beings who were already trying to lure me further down to an astral hell. I quickly got out of there.

I traveled and traveled. I found some friends to hang out with and we hung out at this small ranch they had on a hill. It was nice talking in the astral and being around families again. Someone then asked me if I had gone to my Laying of the Rocks. I asked what that was... apparently it was the astral version of a trip to Mecca. But in this case it was a journey or pilgrimage to see GOD.

I was instantly interested so I went with my new friend and he dropped me off at the right plane. There was a field of rocks there and I was told to pick up the same number of rocks as I had serious questions for God. So in my case I picked two and put them in a sack. There must of been thousands of souls on their Laying of the Rocks.

We all started walking and walking and the more we made it into the inside plane I started to have second thoughts. The atmosphere had grown very serious. Not like a happy "let's go visit God" trip but a serious "Do I really want to mess around with God?" feeling. The closer we came to God the more this sense of serious power oozed from the very air. It was ominous.

I just got in line and followed everyone forward. Suddenly everything started shaking. Someone was explaining that it was normal to get rid of the rocks God thought where deemed petty or unnecessary. Remember, each rock represented a real serious question we wanted to see God about. Well, both my rocks disappeared. I guess they where not that serious to bother real God with. Some people, very few, were only left with one rock.

The size and raw power of God was making itself very plain. At this point we were told we could go forward and seek our fates or turn back. Most of the people who wanted to see God turned back... and I was one of them. My astral body understood that this was a power not to play around with. Love and joy and the beautiful lighted planes would do fine. I didn't  really need to confront God himself about my little life. Because really, I have nothing to complain about.

I flew back to my new friends and shared my experience. Apparently they had had a similar one. Like I said, apparently mostly everyone turns back from really meeting God.

I woke up and knew I immediately I had to get this down. I had a new experience of God - a new aspect of Him - and he was terrifying. That raw power that just makes you want to run away. I was sorry God took my rocks but I understand that I'm one of the lucky ones. There are people out there with serious problems and maybe that's what a God can do for them. I was surprised God was not a man but a huge infinite entity with infinite power. He was in this AP anyway.

There was one part I left out and will share... everyone gets a new name after the pilgrimage. It's actually considered a middle name. I still remember mine and it was written on a stone we all got after the decision to stop or go on. It was my full name but it had an extra middle name. I think I should keep it to myself.

Anyway, it was a big night and it taught me a lot about traveling and existing for hours lucidly in the astral. But mostly it taught me not to complain too much about my little problems. Amen.

I'm a 3d artist... here is one I made tonight.

(http://vfriend.com/stuff1/gate1.jpg)

Last night I APed twice. I was set on finding some companionship. The first time out I found a beautiful girl but woke up before I could close the deal.
I watched some tv and then tried again. The moon was out and full. It was so darn pretty. I flew over the rooftops. After visiting a nice lighted house I found a girl inside who was very willing. And this time I definitely closed the deal. Astral Love and Sex is so darn excellent sometimes. Much better than the real thing. When it works it's like the ultimate magic. I think it's one of my favorite things about APing... that being astral girls.  :-) Sometimes I talk to them afterwards and try to get some information... this particular girl was dreaming and some Power hooked us up!  :-o What is that power that hooks up hot lovers in the night? hehe

Haha, good question. Beautiful art!!

Well, mostly lately I've been APing and hooking up. There is a lot to learn if you want to have a good sexual experience in the astral especially for boys. It's tough to complete an engagement and have a good climax if you haven't trained yourself for it.

I've also been learning about dreams and astral phenomena. They are two different things as I have come to realize. For the longest time I didn't know if the astral was a real place. Sometimes I thought it was all some kind of lucid dream. However, as I see it now... the astral environment is a real place but we are dreamers and can manipulate the environment there. This also goes for the people.  There are real people but they bring their dreams with them so sometimes they are disguised. You really never know who you're talking to. You can also project to the physical waking world and that's where you're invisible to everyone.

Man, there is so much to learn and I've barely scratched the surface. On a positive note, I'm getting real good at flying around and floating. I think negative energy makes you heavy so I'm glad I'm finally "shedding those extra pounds".

Anyway, I'm sure I'll be done with this sexual phase soon... but like I said there is so much to learn and I want to be good at it because the rewards are pretty amazing.

Until later. :)

Last night I had a real nice AP. It started with me getting out of body and walking out my front door. Even though it was 3 am in the real world, outside it was more like evening and it was a beautiful day. I felt like walking so I followed my sidewalk to a beautiful park. Everything was so green and there was a refreshing breeze which is rare. There where lots of people there enjoying the park. I sat on a swing set and just took it all in.

But it was getting kind of late. These two Boy Scouts came around and said the park was closing. Everyone was making their way to the entrance. I followed the crowd and started walking picking a path at random. I passed some kind of university, and the Boy Scouts headquarters which was odd. I passed a water park where I spent some time too. Then I found a movie theater with like 20 new movies showing. The posters where dazzling and I went in and watched part of a movie. It was about a girl and a boy on a hill and they where saying goodbye for the last time. The colors where absolutely brilliant and the screen was huge.

After awhile I seemed to forget I was APing and just wanted to go home. But I couldn't find my way. I asked directions from two more Boy Scouts and they gave me a ride in their cool car. We picked up some fast food which was free on the way. Then they dropped me off at my astral home. Things finally started to look familiar. I went in and woke up.

Now here is the strange part... after waking up in the morning I make some coffee and go say good morning to my Mom. She's up and going through some of my childhood photos. She says, "Look hun, this is when you where little." She hands me a photo of me as a Boy Scout. Whoa! I felt like I was still dreaming. In fact maybe I didn't make it back all the way to waking on that last one. Anyway, definitely kinda deja vu.

I know this is a bit late to the discussion, but I wanted to touch on the above.  In my opinion, it was never really there to begin with.  Remember, all of this is an illusion and your physical body is all part of it.
You're just realizing that you are not your physical body.  You may have understood this on the Intellectual level... but now you're starting to understand this on the Being level.  You've experienced being aware without your physical body so often that you're probably thinking a lot less "physical" these days and it's beginning to have a further impact upon your growth.   :)

Thanks for sharing your wisdom Xanth.  :-) It's still happening btw, I just get out of bed. There is no awkward crawling out anymore or untangling from my physical body. You said that the physical is the illusion. I really hope you are right... because life can be very painful and from what I've seen of the astral... well... it's so much easier and more beautiful.

Thanks again.  :-P

A few things to report from last night. I found a new way of exiting... I fell asleep and when I was ready to exit well, I just opened my eyes and I was outside my house. I didn't need to exit my body, or get out of bed, I just sorta translocated. I'm gonna try it again tonight if I can.

Anyway, as soon as I was outside I took a look around my neighborhood. It was nighttime and the regular houses had been replaced by row and row of bars and restaurants. It was a festive atmosphere and I could hear some tune playing in the air.

What I did next was sort of explore. I went all the way down the street to where the road meets the main avenue. As soon as I got there, there where no lights, no activity, a dead zone. It felt like all the life was gone. It was so eerie. I was kinda spooked seeing that empty street. I went back to where the bars were having their party and I went inside one. There where some people at the bar and the tables. I sat down on a stool and started talking to this dude who offered me a cigarette. This was my second astral cigarette and it was just as enjoyable as the first. Much more real and tasty than a real cigarette.

I woke up soon after that.

Just a quick one... very rarely does "easy" make you any progress. 
That's part and parcel for why this physical reality (and ones like it) lends itself to being a "consciousness growth fast tracker" in spiritual pursuits.  :)

Huge AP this time - a real game changer. It made clear a lot of things that have been dogging me for a long time.

I APed and exited my house. Outside it was nighttime and I was a bit disappointed because it was that pitch darkness encroaching again. What is this dark darkness? What is its nature? I actually think it's an astral plane that borders the physical. It's so easy to get into because it's so close. So a lot of new APers will exit there.

Anyway, this is what happened last night... I stood there outside my house just looking at that scary darkness and I started walking down the street looking for some kind of light. In the darkness I saw something move. It was a shadow being. It was wreathed in blackness and darker than the surroundings. It was following me. I stepped up my pace and that's when I saw another shadow being and another coming from the sides. I stopped and stood my ground - I prepared to fight.

I felt this vile and raw aggression come for me and that's when it happened. It started in my feet... this glow of pure light entered from my foot chakras and made its way up my legs to my spine to my head. It kept pouring into me this Light until my hands where charged with it and I felt robust with energy.

All this time, the shadows had just stood there staring at me but when I stomped my foot with my new power they startled and two of them ran off. The last one kept it's cool but took a few steps back.

At the top of my lungs I yelled at it. "Leave me alone!!!" It croaked something I barely understood... something like, "It doesn't belong to you." Then it ran off into the creepy darkness.

Anyway, I woke up right after that. But I have never had a reaction like that. My energy body just reacted and what bloomed inside me was this pure light. It was so good to feel and I'm so relieved that I have these defenses at hand just in case it happens again.

What a night!

Why would you need defenses against something that is harmless? In a previous post I believe you referred to these shadow entities as harmless. Did  their energy signatures change over time?

I hope I am not coming across as being critical, I really enjoy reading about your experiences, it was just something I noticed that seems like a contradiction.

Not sure really... my body just reacted. It was involuntary. My astral body. Maybe it sensed that they where a danger. Maybe they are harmless... they just needed to stay away from me. Sometimes there are different types of shadow people. Some can be harmless and some go the way of the vampire. Anyway... I sure wish they would leave me alone.

Not much going on except more astral television. I've sat with several groups of astral entities and watched a show. In the show we're all characters and we're all playing parts. Kinda like co-video (no relation). It's fascinating seeing it all play out and how the story evolves from everyone's imagination. But it's not really imagination it's like from a person's dream essence. Somehow the upper dreamer takes over and gives you a show. It's totally cool this astral video thing... especially in groups.

Also, lately I have been having dreams of operating on people who are sick. I go into these trenches or transy dream where I am fixing people from the inside. It feels like the Light but it's kinda raw and in your face sorta fixing everything. Kinda like a plastic reality but not exactly plastic... it's like quanta reality. I'm having a lot of strange things come in. I don't know if its because of the times or what but definitely a change in the wind of my astral.

Do you think this pandemic could be a direct reflection of changes that are occurring on other levels and frequencies of reality?

I think there's a pattern beyond normal reality that is indeed having an effect. All reality is One and something is intersecting right now. You can catch glimpses of this pattern when you are in the astral sometimes when you are lucid enough.

I had an astral dream the night my cat got run over. These advanced angels or something came down from a spaceship and told me very rough times where ahead and to prepare for some kind of long term hardships. I did not really think too much of it until lately.

Then there are the numbers kicking in with synchronicity. You'll see special numbers at coincidental times and realize there's a pattern. I've been working on the numbers here: http://enlightenmentnumbers.com (http://enlightenmentnumbers.com)/

And here is my shaman site: http://cosmicmoth.com/ (http://cosmicmoth.com/)

One last thing to report which is super neat is that I've been seeing a lot of my Dad in the astral and he's been dead 5 years. He is always happy and comforting so that's been the best part of astral travel lately.

I'm having these APs were I'm moving from place to place. This is achieved through some kind of highway network through the astral. It gets very crowded sometimes with all kinds of people moving through the astral.

I've seen highways that are full of super modern cars going at break neck speed and it's so astrally that you can tell it's real. I've also been in tunnels with people moving on foot. There are all kinds I guess. It's just like a street network but in the astral.

Interesting...

About an hour ago I woke up from a nice AP. I got out of body and off my bed and decided this time to explore my home and not go outside. The funny thing, after some exploring, is that my house in the astral was a luxurious house. It had three levels and my backyard was huge. And I could change things just by squeezing my fist. Things would transform into whatever I wanted and I seemed to have quite an imagination in the astral.

The backyard was full of neighbors having a bbq. I went out and joined them. We started talking but they all wanted to come in my house and check it out. So in they came against my wishes. Up the stairs and into my room where they lay down on the bed and fell asleep. Well, I woke them up and asked them to leave but they complained that my house was the best and they didn't want to go home. I offered to show them how to transform their own houses... so off we went to their house. There where like three of them, two boys and a girl.

It took about half an hour per house... in a few ways it was an exhausting AP. We found a trapped ghost in one house - the girl's - where a little girl lived in her closet. She didn't speak and we couldn't make her leave so we gave her some pillows and a blanket and left her be. We continued to make their houses really beautiful and luxurious over the next hours

After we were done with their houses which they did a great job on I came back to my house to find it in it's regal state. There was an elevator in the lobby which didn't used to be there so I took it to my third floor room and got into bed and went to sleep in my astral bed. Ahhhh, a job well done.

I think I slept for another hour dreaming about huge rooms with nebulas and galaxies in them.

The End.

Hope you liked that one.  :-)

I had an interesting experience last night. I was sort of meditating in my large bean bag and I must of fallen asleep. I then became lucid and knew I was in the astral. I sorta lifted my upper body and then noticed that gravity was very low and drifted up and up into a black sky. It was expansive and I had a crystal clarity of this immense room I drifted up into.

There where voices in that silence that got more pronounced until I could hear thousands of voices talking over each other.  Then voices became so numerous they became a white hum that had form and feeling. And then that ocean of awareness touched me on my left foot and sort of attached itself to my foot chakra. It was a weird feeling but very pleasant. Extremely pleasant actually. It felt like my foot was being massaged from the inside by the whole world.

I woke up and my foot was still humming with energy. It lasted like 20 minutes and then it faded. But for awhile there it felt like... like... I had a hook-up to the cosmic internet and it plugged right into my foot. My foot was full of this amazing holy energy and awareness. I don't even have the words to describe this feeling but it hummed and just as it was affecting me, I could also affect it. It felt like someone had put a piece of pure Love right up my foot. So weird!

Last night I had a lucid AP about my deceased father. We were at the family farm which is his favorite place to be and where he retired. We were sitting on the porch looking out toward the forested ravine where the orange groves are. I was totally lucid and here was my chance to talk to him finally.

I asked him if he knew he had died? And he said that of course he remembered his death. He went on to say that he had passed some kind of judgement or review of his life before he had been allowed to come here at the "farm". He said that he was definitely not dead in the sense of nonexistance - that he had awareness and that he was learning how to exist in this new reality.

I really hope that this AP was not just a dream I dreamed to console myself that my father was not really dead. But now more than ever I think maybe he really is out there at the farm, drinking his beers and tending his orange groves.  :-) so I hope so anyway.

Wow,. This is a really really great thread... and this last entry made me wanna cry for just a moment,. I really can't wait to meet some of my passed loved ones.

Thank you for posting such beautiful journeys,. I wanna be able to stay out longer, I get kind of excited and get ahead of myself instead of tying myself to the scenery by researching the surroundings, like is recommended,.

I've only just jumped to the last page of entries still have to go back and read this thread from the very beginning to get caught up.

There are several regulars here that I would love to read their journals or memorable AP's this is the first I've stumbled across,. After I've had my fill with this thread, any recommendations of others threads on AP experience stories?

That was beautiful Shineling. I hope that at least in part this episode has given you some closure on your father. <Hugs you>

Hey, thanks for visiting my thread and thank you for the kind words!

Well, I'm pretty much self taught but when I was first getting started I did read all of Robert Monroe's books about APing and OOBE. That's where I first learned about the "roll-out" technique and I still use it sometimes to this day. When you lay down, get ready to sleep, and when you're ready, you just sort of roll-out of your body to one side. The way I learned APing was by taking naps during the daytime. It's more likely then that you'll reach that zone where you are half-asleep and half-awake. That's the trick... you have to be a little lucid before sleep catches up with you and then you just roll out.

Well, thanks again for visiting! Good luck to both of you on your journeys!  :-)

A few nights ago I found myself in Dharmaville... There was space above and below. It was quiet and peaceful... and poignant. This sense of poignancy led my own mind to create fantastical realms full of people and voices. I wondered if this was abomination the kind often spoken of in Dune or the brunt of all my mind's maras. It all seemed to stem from a claustrophobic mind which I slowly took a hold of and talked it down to a whisper. Then the Dharma was beheld in full and it was a comforting kind of space, welcoming and honest where none of my mind could be hidden.

I got to explore the blackness a little more... mostly I just was tired of fearing it so when I next saw it I just started walking down the street into the dark.  What I saw in the darkness was that it got darker but at the same time it came with a great clarity that it was Empty because it needed to be so clear. The darkness was dark not because of evil or negative emotion ... it was dark because reality was so clear and  sane.

Then also lately I've been having APs of group parties with these cool people I meet. Sometimes it feels like I've known them before. We drink, we smoke, and cigs and alcohol feel even better in the astral. I wonder if there's health consequences in the astral... but I think not.

That 3D darkness has teachings as well. I love just basking in it. It's so peaceful and tranquil. A great place to ponder and many times your ponderings will be answered in some way, shape or form.

You need to rid yourself of the brainwashing throughout your life that the "darkness" is evil.

Thanks Lumaza. Yeah... there is something very peaceful about the darkness but it still scares me a little. What I liked was that it's a very calming place which brings a strong stability and sane frame of mind. Since there's nothing going on in the darkness except itself, it's easy to remain in the moment and be yourself - your true self.

Cya around.  :-)

It is always encouraging for there to be those who are in the very active phase of the process of awakening ( and going out  - a lot ).

Thank you for keeping this blog, Shineling, it brings back such a fond energy and memory.

Please keep logging and sharing your experiences. ♥︎

Thanks so much Omcasey. It's nice to know that someone is actually reading my messages! Yeah, I'll keep posting my experiences and sharing my explorations. Thanks again!  :-)

I used a fan last night to fall asleep. My air conditioner broke and they have yet to fix it. So I was using a fan and this, I believe, helped me exit my body into the astral. I climbed out of bed and I knew I was completely lucid in the astral. I went out my room and out the front door into the deep dark night.

I looked up and down our street. A few houses had lights on their porches and these are the ones I visit. I stay away from the dark houses and this has become a signal for me and my higher astral self to communicate and say yes, that house is safe. The house across the street had their lights on. So I hopped and floated across the street and went in. Houses are always unlocked in the astral.

My sight was super clear as I opened the door. Inside were four people. I quickly took stock of what was happening. Four people were dreaming and I said, "Hi Mother!" to the older woman there knowing she would then accept me in her dream. A smile crossed her face and then she went on cooking dinner.

I spied a beautiful girl on the couch and I went up to her, offered my hand, and said, "Let's go to your room." She smiled and took my hand and we retired to her room where I kissed her thoroughly and we lay on her bed for about 30 minutes doing what men and women do when they are alone together.

The sex was beautiful and as we lay locked in union, were transported to another world as we explored deep kisses and deep connection. I had never had astral sex this good... it lasted so long and was so deep. It definitely helped me clear the cobwebs that had accumulated over the past weeks. For some time now my astral travels had been boring and predictable... anyway, last night trumped all of that and I woke up refreshed and with a big smile on my face.

I was lucid but I don't remember how it had started. I was with my brother and his friend and we were going into the university to get our Trionomy books. Everyone was learning Trionomy. I wasn't too sure I cared or actually didn't understand what the big deal was... but it was new and gathering quite a following.

In the back of my mind I wondered if living in the astral could support such things as universities and book learning. I decided to closely pay attention.

We followed the crowds into this large room with tables. On the tables where the books on Trionomy. We got in line and soon we each had our own copy. My brother's friend was really excited because as he put it, "It's the next level!"

My brother and friend then departed or at least I lost track of them. I sat down on a bench and leafed through my new book on Trionomy. There where some diagrams that looked interesting but in the end I thought this was probably just the latest fad in human astral dynamics. That's when a cute mousey blond girl sat next to me. We got into a conversation and she wanted to know all my fields of expertise. I rattled off all the computer languages I knew and she seemed impressed. I took a chance and kissed her lightly on her tiny mouth. She smiled and kissed me right back.

"But how good are you at Trionomy?" she asked with a mischievous smile.

Hmmm... I should of really found out what Trionomy IS. Lol.

Heck it is has been so long since I have come across anyone still experiencing regularly and making logs.. - thank YOU.

I wish you would start one of these and just copy/paste over on my board (https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/omtalks//) , it would be a nice injection!

Such a familiar energy in your logs. my chords are being struck.  :-)

Journal section. (https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/omtalks/member-journals-f83//) ( just in case )

Hi Omcasey! Sure thing! I'll post to your board next time I have an especially good AP! No problem.  :-D

All of these are good!, but I won't be greedy and put you to work copy/pasting.  :-)

It will be good to have someone save myself posting experiences. I wonder if there are fewer people popping out than there were a decade ago when things were booming.

What do you think?

Yes, there definitely is. But I find the people that stuck with it have moved up a few levels on the "NPR Totem Pole"!  :-) The experiences can be so intense, but also "rewarding"!

It all started late last night. It was around 3 am when I finally stopped my reading and fell asleep. At some point I became lucid and rolled out of my bed into the astral. I went outside and that's how my adventure began.

Outside it was dark but not pitch. A blue and purple light ebbed from the sky and there where pale and thin wisps of clouds with a starry background beneath. In my back yard I found an old lady looking up at the sky. She had a pair of ear phones on which attached to a small dish which was pointed upwards to the heavens. I asked her what she was doing.

"I'm listening to the Changes," she said. "There's something happening to the world and if you listen carefully you can hear it." I moved on down the street and passed a store where they where selling ear phones and dishes. It was packed with people. People where coming out with their brand new ear phones and dishes. It was really interesting and it seemed to be some kind of global phenomena happening. I continued down the street.

I came to a wonderful place. It was some kind of hippy festival and flea market. I immediately went in. There where lots of people enjoying the festival and selling and buying things. I passed stalls of masks and jewelry, wood carvings, incense and spices, furniture, herbs and smoking supplies, and all kinds of stalls selling foods. It was really cool and I spent most of my time looking at things and tasting the local cuisine. I had my wallet with me and it was loaded with money. When I offered them my money they seemed surprised I was using dollars but accepted them nonetheless. I was offered some kind of edible for free and I ate it and it made me feel really good.

I also had a cell phone with me and one point it started making weird sounds. I took it out of my pocket and the screen was saying the gps location was something like Aurora. I've never heard of a city called Aurora myself but I was in the astral. Then a red alarm came on it and said that cell phones where not allowed here in Aurora and then it started to morph. It turned into this little aquarium with a tiny little fish swimming inside it. It was really pretty. I put it back in my pocket and walked on.

I came upon this work of art. The art was actually a large stairs that led down to the beach. It's so hard to describe these stairs... it was like fronds that curved down in sections and they where all kinds of colors. I took the fronds down to the beach and sat down with my bag which was full of stuff I had bought at the hippy festival.

The sun started to come up and eventually I woke up. I really had a good time.

The end. :)

and the car takes off - driving itself! I was freaked out at first but the "driver" was a good driver because the car managed to steer around curbs just fine. I could see the driving wheel turn all by itself. It was super neato!

Ha, cool! I just took a ride in a self-driving car myself! It's always neat to have an experience, and then afterwards to read that someone else had the same experience, too =)

Hey GrumpyRabbit! Yeah, that's cool. Glad to know I'm not the only one with self-driving cars! Lol. I've also been in a self-driving empty bus which was kinda freaky and a self-driving old semi-truck. And sometimes they get so fast it's kinda scary. Hehe.

Thanks for dropping by.  :-)

Last night I exited into my room and then went outside. It was a beautiful night. I activated my hand jets and rose into the air. Instead of going down the street like I sometimes do, I went straight up toward a bank of clouds that peeped pink and orange from the sunset. What I saw above to clouds surprised me.

Hovering in between the clouds where hundreds of meditating monks. I could see the closest ones with their eyes wide open and strangely lit looking toward a point deep inside themselves.

I waited a few seconds, just hovering there in the starry night breeze, to see what would develop.

Just as I began to get bored this sense of peace and wholeness overtook me. Something pushed me from below. It felt like a cushion of air. I slowly settled and turned my hand jets off. I was floating. Levitating.

I breathed in deeply. I had never felt so at peace. The mediating monks seemed to be sharing their vibration with me. I felt safe, serene, awake, and safe. My breath was the best part of it. It felt like all of us where breathing in-sync. There has never been a place I most wanted to be and most want to return to. It felt amazingly beautiful as if I had been searching for such a place all my life.

At the same time it felt like it was the most ordinary thing to do. As if this amazing peace was the default setting of the Universe. No matter what happened to me I now knew that I could return to this place anytime I wanted.

To test this... I meditated this morning and visualized myself in those clouds, surrounded by all the peaceful monks. The feeling returned. It was so simple and yet it was everything I had been searching for.

It might sound boring, just sitting and sharing silence in the clouds but something maintains us. It's almost like a blanket of Love surrounds us all and as is still and quiet and we wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

I surmise that we can tap into this vibration anytime we want. Have you every meditated in a group? Well, same thing. All we need to do is connect to all those beautiful beings that are now serenely meditating and become one of them. The more the merrier! Ahhhh!

It was a pleasant lucid dream last night but also a little sad. All I remember was that I was being escorted down this hallway in a really modern building. Everything was clean in shades of blue. In fact, the color blue was everywhere. The person escorting me was a black female with a spiffy little suit.

We turned a corner and entered an empty room. Inside was a black man in his own spiffy suit and my exgirlfriend. She seemed to be glowing and her blond hair shown clean, long, and bright. Her vivid blue eyes shown as she looked at me with this small little sad smile.

The black woman was suddenly asking me a question. "Do you want her?" I said, "No. She broke my heart." It was over just as quick as that and we left the room and my escort disappeared.

I walked out unto this balcony that overlooked a huge fruit tree. I remember how me and my ex had walked under that same huge tree in happier days. Now I could see that the fruit had been harvested and the color of it was darker. I could see the empty pods where the fruit had been.

All I remember next is that I spent the rest of my dream looking for my exgirlfriend. I think I had changed my mind and was asking everyone in a suit where she was. She was nowhere to be found.

In real life she wants to get back together but I'm not sure... kinda hesitant since she did break my heart really bad. Sigh... I don't know what to do yet. Hmmm.

Wow. truly profound.. I wonder what you'll do.

Well, right now I'm thinking of just 'letting sleeping dogs lie.' Even if I am having weirds dreams about her, it's been awhile, and I'm a different person now. I guess I still miss her sometimes tho. Anyway, thanks.   :-)

Last night was really amazing. I decided on a long trip... A journey "out there". I got out of my body and started flying. Straight up I went for like what seemed 15 minutes. I saw space, and stars, and galaxies. I kept going and going with the intention to find something beautiful. Then... Bump... I found it.

Out of the mists appeared a mountain. I flew above it looking down at the most charming mountain village. It was sizable though with pretty little white washed brick houses with pretty little red roofs. Toward the center of the community rose some really modern looking buildings that contrasted yet complimented the town.

I flew down toward the building and found an open window. Some lady greeted me with surprise and invited me inside. She was friendly enough but was really surprised. In a matter of minutes they came to arrest me. I was taken down to the town and processed. They asked a lot of questions and I told then that I was just exploring the Universe when I found them.

They weren't mean at all. I think they were shocked to see me as if they hardly get any visitors. My astral body was given a medical exam and I was given a few injections and some kind of energy treatment. Afterwards I felt really good. They gave me a uniform and eventually someone picked me up. I had been assigned to one of the processing stations. My boss was some dude or other that explained to me that they're little town surrounds a hot pocket of some kind of energy they mine.

This had all taken a really long time and I just wanted to wake up but I couldn't. I was starting to get worried. The way they acted was like a didn't have a body waiting for me back on Earth. They had no idea I was just projecting. To them I was an outsider that miraculously had found them and their little operation. I was processed and made part of the community.

But I still couldn't wake up. I started thinking maybe I had severed my connection with my body somehow or they had.

Still, this wasn't the worst place to land. Everything looked clean and bright and everyone looked really attractive. After the tour of my job I was given quarters and some free time. I visited a gorgeous little park with lots of friendly and happy people. They were flying around, having picnics, dancing, and enjoying themselves. At one point a found a small hole in the ground and looked inside. It was full of stars and I wondered if these little stars was what they mined here at this outpost somewhere out there in the astral.

I remember thinking that my astral body had never felt so good and healthy. Whatever they had done to me at their hospital I felt great. I felt the awareness of not just my astral body but other finer bodies beneath that. I knew for the first time that astral bodies are just one of finer and finer bodies we all have. And like our physical body maybe sometimes they need to be maintained.

So anyway... I was at that park when I had to go pee. But astral bodies don't pee right? That's when I realized that the feeling had been creeping up on me from Earth where my physical body needed to urinate. I concentrated really hard and I was suddenly in my bed - awake! I went to the bathroom to relieve myself.

I was back but I felt really different. The physical world almost seemed like a dream. I was sure I was back but not 100% sure. kind of like an astral hang-over.  :-)

Very Nice Adventure into these other Worlds/Realms in Creation/Existence.

When venturing into these "unknown" Worlds/Realms (unknown for the Self/Me living on Earth but maybe/surely not for the collective Higher Self [or Selves as it could be a collective of beings as described by Robert Monroe when he navigated innerly/inside to meet the ones making the driving] that is controlling/monitoring the Self/Me from "somewhere" else), eventually one realizes that Death of the Physical Body on Earth will occur any moment (if it happens during an Astral Projection / Lucid Dream, then that human won't be able to tell us as his/her Physical Vehicle would be death in consequence and unable to report back that situation), and when these excursions into unknown "Non Physical" territories extend for longer than the "normal" few minutes, into "many" minutes (and who knows maybe even "hours" or for some maybe even "days"), then one learns to Not Care (as maybe you have already noticed one doesn't care a bit nor even remember much details but only a few very small ones about this Physical life on Earth while into these Non Physical Words/Realms), and one realizes (by experience) that if the Physical body is alive and as you experienced and reported you can "feel" some sensations coming from it (or coming from the other "Non Physical" body that is Dreaming You that moment, YES, normally you are in a Dream inside a Dream situation, like on the movie "Inception", and you can tell this by making a movement for example of your arm and noticing that is a Non possible movement for the Physical body slept on Earth, and you can even learn to wake up and stand up and move that First Dream body, for example by opening your eyes very fast and turning that Dream Non Physical body and making it stand up from that bed/location it's into, like you would do to stand up your Physical body on Earth to turn it and stand it up on top of the bed or to the side of it, and you'll realize with a quick very basic memory analysis [with low and measured/controlled consciousness as much would Wake You Up on Physical World called Earth] of a few seconds that you are still in a Non Physical location, sometimes monitored/watched by other beings, and sometimes looking that there are other beings sleeping in that Non Physical location/house [maybe other Humans or Beings Forced to Sleep and Dream their Real Physical Lives as well as the Second and more Layers of Sleep when they "Go To Sleep" on the "Physical World" like we do on Earth], and you'll start asking yourself a lot of questions regarding how many Levels "Down" of Dream inside a Dream are we experiencing when we go to Sleep on the Physical World called "Earth" and if we have a Dream Non Physical Body [one or more] that is being kept Asleep for this process of Dreaming the Second Layer of Dream inside a Dream that maybe is the one we access and experience when acquiring Consciousness/Lucidity while Dreaming in a Lucid Dream and/or Astral Projection [I've acquired Consciousness/Lucidity in Very Realistic Locations Very Similar to Houses/Homes where I've Lived and also the one I Currently Live, and also with the classic Vibrations and all processes of a Classic Astral Projection but in these Non Physical Locations, and other Situations of Projecting Out the Energy Non Physical Body resembling a "Non Physical Soul of that Dream Body" while the Dream Body Dies in that Non Physical Location or it gets Pass Out by cutting the Breathing accidentally of intentionally, and many other situations more], and you'll realize that there is Not just One Location for the "First" Layer of Dream but Various Locations as when performing this Process and other similar processes for standing up the Dreaming Body that is Dreaming the "Second" Layer of Dream inside a Dream, then you'll find yourself waking up in Different Locations and in Different Houses/Homes, with Different Families/Relatives or who knows maybe Supervisors that are monitoring/watching you and making sure that you are kept sleeping and cautiously try to get you back in that situation as for some reason You Can Damage Them if you have Enough Energy and you Learn to Resist Them as mentioned below), then if you are feeling sensations coming from the Physical Body on Earth you realize that Eventually the Dreaming/Astral Experience in that Non Physical World/Realm will eventually end in the following seconds/minutes, and is very specific the sensation that is felt in the Face/Nose/Mouth/Breathing when that happens and you are back in your Physical Body on Earth with your Projection Energy Depleted (for that night and maybe/surely for the next day/night as well), then comes the already known process of recollecting the memories of the experience by tracing back the main actions performed for them not to be lost (sometimes/generally the start of the experience is hard to remember but many times by tracing back the main steps/experiences you can eventually get to the moment when Lucidity was acquired and how it was triggered and what triggered it, and recollect many details of the experience besides the main events of it).

With time and experience, as you eventually Don't Care if you don't get back to Earth (as you know that any day sooner or later it will occur, and that's why if you have a Family is a good idea to keep things organized so that when that moment occurs you won't have regrets or worries about them but just let go and continue with your existence somewhere else), you know that every experience that you have in these Conscious/Lucid Excursions into these Non Physical Realms/Worlds will end with you waking up in your bed (either in a False Awaking experience which is really interesting or in a Real Waking Up on Earth).

Don Juan Matus explains it Very Well to Castaneda in the book "The Art Of Dreaming" on Chapter  3 "The Second Gate Of Dreaming" on page 27 (of the PDF version of the book), when he sais "You will find out for yourself that the true goal of dreaming is to perfect the energy body. A perfect energy body, among other things of course, has such a control over the dreaming attention that it makes it stop when needed. This is the safety valve dreamers have. No matter how indulging they might be, at a given time, their dreaming attention must make them surface". This means that it doesn't matter how much you want (or the beings in these locations want) to extend your Non Physical experience/excursion, once the Energy (and Dreaming Attention) is Depleted you'll wake up in the Physical World on Earth, (actually there are "Tricks" to try and extend this time a little more by Waking Up in a "Dream Body" in an upper Layer of the Dream Inside a Dream thing or whatever Net of Dreaming Bodies that are there in these Non Physical Realms, like previously described, but you'll notice that the Energy to Move that Non Physical body is generally Low and you normally have trouble trying to move it at first, eventually you manage to stabilize it a little, and start navigating that Non Physical environment, until eventually one moment to the other, Your Energy is Depleted and you suddenly Wake Up on Your Bed and Physical Body on Earth, or You Get Attacked and/or Get Forced to "Go To Sleep" and Lose Consciousness/Lucidity in these Non Physical Realms, as you are too Weak to Defend Yourself, and you Wake Up on Your Bed and Physical Body on Earth, and this last thing makes you think a lot about the possibility that Your Experience on Earth is a Forced Experience of your Consciousness Being [Soul] being forced to "Sleep" in these Non Physical Realms to have to Experience Your Physical Body and Life in this World called "Earth" and who knows in how many others Physical and Non Physical simultaneously, for them to Get Something Out Of You in that process, (¿the "Loosh Rote" mentioned by Robert Monroe maybe as a Physical Being on Earth and on other Physical Worlds and also as a Non Physical Being in those Non Physical Worlds/Realms controlled by these beings?), so there are a lot of things to Analyze about if you are attentive enough to these Abnormalities in these Non Physical Realms like these beings so desperately trying to Get You to Lose Your Consciousness/Lucidity (Touching You in these Non Physical Realms is a way to Parasite and Drain You Energy and sometimes they do it in a Frontal way injecting a Terminal from them into a part of your body or touching you by shaking your hand and you feel the loss of energy and loss of consciousness/lucidity) and Make You Go To Sleep even driving/directing you literally into a "Bed" in the Non Physical Location/Home/House you find yourself waking up in that correspond to the Upper Layer of the Dream Inside a Dream as previously described (the sometimes even laugh when you fall asleep without making any resistance like an Ignorant Child), and in some occasions they Touch You on your Front/Forehead on the location of the Third Eye, and also they do it by chasing you (even when you try to run away by crossing walls as they can cross them too so is Better To Stand Your Ground and Fight and if the fight is lost not to give them your Energy as You'll Feel that During the Attack, by forcing yourself to wake up by opening your Eyes Fast, which will change you to another Non Physical Location or will wake you up on another Non Physical Body on another Non Physical Location or will wake you up on your Physical Body on Earth), in other occasions they also Attack You in the Back of your Body particularly on the Lower Back which feels like Cold Electric and Very Uncomfortable and sometimes Even Painful Discharge and also they Attack You the High Back or Chest which feels like a Hot and Burning Electric Discharge, sometimes they also Attack You in the Solar Plexus Location (lower zone of the sternon and above the belly), which has a consequence to make you destabilize from the Non Physical Location you find yourself into and Waking Up on Your Bed and Physical Body on Earth, and seems like they also want that you don't remember the experience but with enough practice you get to always remember what happened from start of the triggering of Lucidity to the Non Pleasant End with these beings Forcing You to Lose Lucidity, and also eventually sometimes with practice you get to fight them back and is REALLY NICE to See How You Can Turn The Situation Around by resisting them until they have no other choice but to let you go into an Unknown Non Physical Location (with low energy as a result of the attack) from which you will eventually Wake Up, and even by Literally Breaking Them Apart or Energetically Disarming Them by Projecting Hot Burning Energy at Them while having them caught with your arms and lifting them while Discharging Them with that Hot and Burning Energy coming from you that You'll also Feel in that way [you eventually learn to resist it], (in one occasion fighting a Dream Character that Attacked me and induced a travel/flight thru a Non Stable Non Physical Location while we were fighting I catch this being with my arms and hands and somehow Drained this Being's Energy and it felt Cold as I drained this being who became smaller until it was the size of a worm), as it seems like they can't Resist the Energy that We Generate in Front Of Us and that's why they Attack From Behind where looks like there is an Energy Generator that helps in the Moving of the Non Physical Body in some situations and You Can Feel this device Providing You Propulsion (I once even saw some children I was speaking to in a nice and useful way in a location in their Home where I landed and stabilized during some traveling, how some of them were playing with the turbulences of energy emanating from whatever device is located in my back, when I turned my head to look back when I was speaking with the other children who were in front of me, so these children in the back were playing with the energy or where getting something out of it, but they were laughing as playing with it), and also in the back there should be some sort of Terminals that these beings know how to Attack to destabilize You while in these Non Physical Realms so it's a Good Idea to Always Check Your Back (turn your head to look around) as if you are a Soldier and don't want an Enemy to Attack You From Behind, and eventually you'll see them sneaking from behind, sometimes having one or a few of them in front of You (distracting you) and one or more sneaking From Behind [to attack you as ¿why would they be sneaking from behind and getting closer to you without you looking and noticing them?], literally like Predators would to a Prey in the world called Earth).

There is a lot to Analyze in these Topics (I've done some of that in some of my Posts in this Astral Pulse Forum), and is really Nice to Read experiences like the one you've shared today, as it brings back some memories about personal experiences into these Non Physical Realms/Worlds, both Really Pleasant (with Nice Very Happy Endings) and Non Pleasant (With Really Disgusting and Unhappy/Nice Endings), but from all Experiences, Nice/Happy and Disgusting/Unhappy (and those ones in between), you get to Learn each time Something New (and even Fun and different from the Daily Routine of Life on Earth), about this Physical World Called Earth and About the rest of Creation/Existence where things don't seem to be what We Would Like/Expect/Want/Wish Them To Be, and eventually with the death of the Physical Body we well have to Face Them and use what we've learned in this Physical Experience for Not to be Fooled/Deceived/Lied in these Non Physical Realms (these Non Physical beings are Really Good into Creating Fake and Deceiving Simulations in these Non Physical Realms and that can/should give you an idea of how really Deceitful These Beings Can and Should Be).


My Best Regards.

:)

Wow, I'll get to that message soon. Right now I'd like to get this down before I forget...

It was definitely a guided AP because it started just like a movie with a short intro. The intro was just like a documentary that explained that humans are spiritual beings and they have the ability to incorporate new energy into their systems. Being human and rotating around our specific star only allows us to have certain genes which can only access certain energies. It said that a lot of humans do drugs because of this reason especially drugs with helper or ally energy. However, using these types of allies and helpers can sometimes lead us into problems because of their course nature.

I think what it was trying to say was don't use them cheap human drugs! Use ours! They are designed from the ground up to be real helpers and allies to your system. The lucid dream began!

This nice human was blowing smoke over my face and I quickly went to a semi trance state. I had an amazing vision of the cosmos as I felt myself being moved into the right astral plane. "I want that one!" I said to him. He laughed like a familiar grandfather and said, "That's nothing... just to get you there."

The next thing I know I was coming out of my trance and I was in this semi dark room. There were some people walking around trying the different allies one could get for your system. There where also some helper people walking around helping people.

I got into this conversation with this friendly dood and he said to try SpacePie 9. So I went up to one of the helpers and asked for that helper. He led me to this alcove where a pair of simple ear phones stuck out of the wall. There was also a nice bouncy chair. I hit play and I was off!

Hehe... it was so much better than any drug I've ever done. I can't even describe this sensation and vision I had. It was cosmic! And it lasted forever. It was eternal. I woke up too soon because I had to go pee but from what I experienced it described not just a vision but knowledge that my system digested.

It was a super cool AP. I hope to go there again and try some of the other helpers and ally visions. There where tons!

I went to sleep early. I really wasn't sure I was deep enough to attempt an exit so I just rolled off the bed. When I didn't hit the floor I knew. I kept falling and falling. When I opened my eyes I was floating in a murky aqua-blue space. Time to go somewhere... I concentrated and felt my feet hit the ground... at a rave party!

It looked like a circular building with its center hollowed out. Some sort of arena. There was flashing lights and trance music booming through the air. Well I danced some and kissed a pretty girl and then thought I saw a friend from high-school. When I caught up with him he had no idea who I was... but it was him or his twin. Anyway, I left the astral party and walked out into the beyond. I found a nice tree and sat down on the grass and watched people go by. Most where like me and had left the party and had found a nice place to rest. The stars where out and as I looked up into the sky... something moved.

A little star was moving up there and then it started growing and coming closer to me. When it finally arrived I could see it was some kind of ufo. It was like a disc with its sides shorn off. It landed next to me and it spoke! "Climb on top and I'll take you up. You don't belong here..." ok... so I climbed on top of this grey disc with lights and up we went!

It climbed and climbed and I held on for dear life. Up through the clouds into the heavens beyond.

When it landed it was in front of a really beautiful modern building. Someone was there waiting for me. Well, it was a long dream so I'll sum up. He led me into this building where I met a group of people and an older man who was some teacher or master. He told us all that he was going to teach us to change color and element.

First we learned how to change into liquids and the color blue. Each element came with a sensation and it's own unique qualities. Then there was fire, air, and space. I liked fire and I liked space even more. Space was a black color and there where ravens who joined us in that quality. I flew down a long dark tunnel being space which then turned me into a raven.

It was totally neato being in a different element. I woke up soon after that. The end.  :-)

Sign me up! LOL

 :-D Heeheehee. I'll double-down! Lol.

I've been APing a lot lately. I went through a few weeks where I stopped trying to exit on purpose... mostly I just went to sleep and didn't care. Well I did not AP as much as when I purposely exit. So then I got worried I couldn't exit anymore. So I started trying again and yeah... no problem, I still got it. I can exit 90% of the time (when I want to). It's kind of a relief because it took me 25 years to perfect my exiting technique and still I'm finding new tricks to it. You never stop learning a growing.

So yeah, I've been APing a lot. I don't like to record every AP since I do it so often but I did have one or two interesting ones.

In one, I APed to see my dead father. He was at the farm where he retired. At least the astral version. It made me kind of sad. There he was all by himself, sitting in his favorite chair, shoulders kinda slumped. When he finally saw me though, his face broke out in a big smile. He rushed over to hug me and asked me how I was doing. He seemed a little frustrated though and started going on and on about me contacting his financial advisor. I said, "Dad, it's all taken care of, don't worry." He said, "I just want to make sure you're ok." So, even on the other side, the old man is still thinking about me. I love my father a lot.

Then, I had an AP last night where I had a birthday party. My birthday is in a few days and so maybe that had something to do with it. It was one of those avatarish APs... where you're not really the familiar you but your higher self. I say that because all the people at my astral birthday party where very familiar to me. It was like I have this complete other life with astral friends and family. Reflecting on it now, back on Earth, I can say that whoever these people where they knew me intimately and I had a long history with many of them. It's just kind of disconcerting when I flip and turn into "Him", my higher astral self. It makes me wonder about a lot of things like maybe someday I'll be able to access my higher self memories without being so deep in the astral. It also feels like possibly I'm only using 10% of my soul with this whole other life for me yet to discover. It's really tempting to think I might become a more confident experienced "me". :)

Good job Shineling. I would say yes your father has your back.

It's amazing the things we can learn from our 'other' selves. If we aren't careful we might just become better people.

I have an ongoing theory that the astral is populated by semi-permanent structures that serve as many of the environments. I also have a theory as to how they first come to exist. They are made by people or groups of people who are proficient in "weaving" astral matter together.

I APed tonight, exited, and went outside to my neighborhood. I went inside a random house just to see what was inside. Well, it served as a gateway to one of these astral environments.

It was huge and completely deserted. Some parts looked like the inside of a mall. There was a great empty theater that looked kinda eerie all by itself. I really wondered where I was. I could see no sky... it was all inside with drab walls and ceilings.

Then on one wall I saw a knob. Under the knob was a metal plate. I turned this big knob and lights started popping on. Then people appeared. When I had turned it all the way to the right, there was a full swinging party going on. Somehow turning that knob had phased me into the right level where the crowds where located.

I wandered around this mall and there where music and lights and groups of people dancing and store fronts where they sold clothes and knick-knacks. I bumped into these two girls who I think immediately knew I was new at this because they had this prankish look and started to follow me around saying things like, "Come here pretty boy, we won't hurt you." ...but all mischievous and laughing. Oh oh.

Anyway, I ran away and went into this other room. I think it was a sex den. I saw lots of people there cavorting and having group sex. I didn't find it at all attractive so I moved on.

I eventually found a gateway. It was a doorway with a screen next to it and touchpad. I quickly flipped through the screens and one said "If you'd like to provide a suggestion you can mail us here: The Sigma Group, Level I, and some numbers or something." One of the pages had a map of the Solar System and it had a picture of Earth which was Section F. I clicked on Section F for Earth and stepped through the gateway.

Section F was a farce of planet Earth. It was like a ride or show of someone's idea of Earth. It was NOT painted in a lovely light. It had displays of people chained up and going to work everyday and the boss cracking his whip. These where displayed on screens as you rode this train through this tunnel. It was like a Disney ride. Message: Earth is a slave planet where they keep their citizens in a proverbial cage and make them work for food. I don't know... there was something about that.

I don't remember much else except I found the gateway again and travelled to a nicer plane this time. I basically floated in space with a large group of people and we were all in sync as really good feelings wafted the space around us. It was really neat actually. It felt communal and clean with an aqua-blue light everywhere.

The astral is such an interesting place...

The end.

I go ogled it. See where that takes you.

Hey Nameless! That's fascinating! Could there really be a company in this day and age that makes astral environments?  :-o

Can you say rabbit hole?  :lol:

Thanks for looking that up!

Something very interesting has been happening the past three nights. I've had playmates! It started with me APing and going outside two nights ago. I was flying around the roof tops doing aero acrobatics when I saw another person doing the same. I got a quick look at her for a second before she vanished.

Then, yesterday night I APed and went outside and found that same girl but she was waiting outside my house around the corner. She seemed shy and sorta pulled away when I approached her. I did managed to ask her her name which she replied "Rafaela". She then flew off. A group of Latin Americans enjoying the night air and flying just like me then joined me and told me that Rafaela was shy but very friendly once you get to know her. There where two more girls and a guy. They all seemed young and vibrant... but I've never seen an old person in the astral.

Then tonight all my new friends where waiting for me when I went outside... including Rafaela. They showed me this cool technique on how to AP from an AP into a higher band or astral level. You can go to sleep in an already ongoing AP and AP again or you can use these cool gadgets that plug into your ears and sorta buzz. I learned a lot from them tonight and then we all four or five of us got into a astral car and went joy riding.

I might catch them again if I go to sleep again. It's the middle of the night and still lots of dreams to be had!

Hey, I'm so glad I made some new friends. That's three nights in a row! I think the reason we APed twice was to achieve a safer astral level. I'll have to find out more!

I haven't APed in about 10 days. Just been tired and decided to stay in mostly. So I've just gone to sleep. But last night I decided to go out so I set myself up and performed an exit. I'm glad I did.

I got off my bed, already in the astral, and went outside. I hoped to see some houses with lights on because the utter darkness really creeps me out. I saw no lights this time however. I was a bit disappointed but decided not to waste my time. I launched into the air activating my hand jets since gravity was on.

I flew up and up looking for some lights. I flew away from my house and then my neighborhood. Suddenly the darkness receded and that omnipresent lighting appeared. It was like daytime now and I could see everything below. I landed in a very strange place.

I really took a chance to investigate the astral environment. It was AMAZING. It looked like a land time had forgotten. Everything was so sharp and steady and I used the trick Carlos Castaneda spoke about in his Dreaming. You sort of look at something but only for a few seconds. Then you change your view and do it again taking quick peeks around you. In this way you can get a very good look at the astral environment without things misting over and melting into something else. Well, I walked and walked and looked and looked. The astral is a WIERD place.

It looked like a whole bunch of different environments smashed together. There where streets. Some where paved, some where dirt. Some areas looked like the country and some the city. I saw an old mill with a broken down water wheel, old forgotten cars and buses from the 1940s,  a field with old tents from medieval times, old messy alleyways between dilapidated buildings, everything old and ancient - forgotten. It felt like this was a place old astral environments came to die and be forgot. It was so eerie and not a soul or living thing around, just me. The color of it was almost gray like ash. And the detail of things! Little pebbles on the ground, an old rusty tomato soup can, an old boat engine, old newspapers, wooden little huts with doors coming off the hinges... you get the picture. Old... forgotten... lost.

Anyway, I really enjoyed it because my vision was extra clear and I got a chance to really perceive an astral world. It was beautiful in its own way, with that beauty that comes with exquisite astral vision.

Thanks for reading. The end.

shineling,

Thanks for keeping your journal here going.  Some people start them with great intentions but they tend to look like the landscape you describe as being Old, Forgotten, Lost!  I always enjoy reading yours.

Hope you keep it up!  :-)

Hey Shineling, I somehow missed your response up there. It is fascinating!

Your experiences are really starting to evolve. Just keep it up and don't 'think' about any of it till afterwards.

I love that you now know you can AP from within an AP. That's really cool and learning a great deal. And thank god you ignored the group sex, haha. It's a trap.

Well thank you very much guys. I'm very glad to do it.  :-) It's also therapeutic I think to get it down on paper and helps me remember and make sense of what I've gone through.

It's always nice to get replies! So thank you very much! That helps too.  :-P But please don't feel obligated... I am going to be posting a lot more. lol

See you out there!  :lol:

Here's an interesting one...

I fell asleep watching the movie Ad Astra on tv. I happened to AP and it sort of all got mixed up... because in the astral Brad Pitt was leading me down a path that lead to beautiful Alaska. The trees where so green and the simple dirt path was beautiful on both sides with wilderness. You could even taste the cool air and got my first sensation of astral temperature. It was cooler as we walked into the mountains. We arrived at a beautiful city high in the astral.

Brad Pitt seemed to vanish and I was left to explore the city. It was glacial with modern looking curves and designs. I found the theater and watched one of their movies. I got so high watching that movie that I don't remember much of it... but there was a boy and a girl and a wise person.

I went out of the theater after the movie and decided to go back to Earth. I walked down the mountains but the path became a river of mud making it impassable. I was trapped in the mountains without being able to wake up. I went back to the city and it was getting dark. People where disappearing. It was cold and lonely. I found a mom and her daughter selling tacos and they offered me some. It was yummi astral food.

I walked around in the dark and couldn't wake up. I started to wonder where people went to after dark. The streets of this city in the mountains where deserted. Maybe they have hotels? I don't remember much after that as I walked into the darkness...

I've been APing a lot lately. It started about a week ago. I think it had built up to the point where I had to get out. So I've been exploring the neighborhood... my astral neighborhood. Sometimes when I exit it's dark, sometimes day, sometimes dawn, and dusk. Well I started to go into the houses more to see who is inside or where they lead. The weird thing is that none of the doors are ever locked. It's almost like a plastic or quantum version of my neighborhood.

Some houses have people inside them. Like a normal family doing their thing. But you can tell they are dreaming because they have this far off look in their eyes. If I find a house with a very attractive girl I will usually go up to her and try to start something. I've never had one turn me down... which means they are dream entities or humans are very loving creatures.

Some houses serve as gateways to other environments and sometimes they wisk me away to other parts of the Astral. Some environments are communal and for recreation. I think there are more real people than dream entities at some environments. Some places are completely deserted though and can range from completely disordered to beautiful gardens of infinite variety. My favorite was a Massage Room where you went in and the walls just hugged you in loving embraces and cuddling you with love energies.

What freaks me out a little is when I exit unto a night level and the houses are dark with no lights on any of them. I think I went into a dark house once and it was a very dark and quiet place. These places are isolated and really anything could be lurking so outside the Light. Not entirely negative but set aside to forget.

But then I have a lucid dream that makes all the darkness disappear... I think this is my higher-self and he'll drop by from time to time and surprise me. Surprises are always fun.

That's all for now... I'll try to keep posting. Bye!  :-)

Last night I had a very nice astral projection. I went to sleep and was able to exit soon after. I went outside and that's when I saw the UFO for the second time. The last time I had seen it was November 27th 2019. I remember because that's the night my kitty got run over. That night I had APed and saw this huge UFO come down from the sky. Well I saw that same UFO last night. I had met some of the astral humans who lived inside it including their leader. He came down this plank and invited me inside the UFO. I was so excited to go with them.

At some point I asked them where we were going and he said we were picking up a friend of mine. The UFO took off and I settled in. I remember having a few conversations with some people I had met before on their last visit. Well, soon we landed again and up the ramp comes my dear friend Jessica. We used to work together at a videogame studio. We kind of skirted around a romantic relationship but eventually decided to keep things friendly - we've been pals ever since. She's into Buddhism and stuff. So after a joyful reunion we got into the UFO and off we went into the astral heavens.

They took us to visit their amazing civilization. It was a city and the UFO landed atop a cliff that overlooked it. It was beautiful and layed out in geometric precision next to a purple ocean. In the sky above was a layer of clouds with all kinds of lights flashing. At one point me and Jessa were asked to take out our "eggs" which were these small astral devices. I had almost forgotten I had mine because I hardly ever dream about it. I found it outside my house a long time ago in the grass. It's like an egg with astral apps and it can transport you to many different astral programs.

We were asked to dial a special program on our eggs and we then immediately found ourselves in a cloudy environment with a huge machine in the middle. It looked like a huge computer with all kinds of panels and wires that hooked up to two chairs with a device that fits over the head. We were asked to sit in these two chairs (Jessa and me) and told that this was a very special machine. What it did was use one's innate ability to find new frequencies in the great abstraction of the astral. These new frequencies are very special because their energy can be used to construct new objects and environments that can be explored and further our knowledge of the Spirit.

So me and Jessa get into these two chairs and they hook us up and boom they flip the on switch. I can't explain what we did together because it's so abstract. But it felt like a single particle representing my essence and a single particle representing Jessa's essence came together and started fluxing together. This fluxing gave off this electricity and the machine sort of skimmed the center of this electrical dance and extracted the very essence of our shared communion. It was over too quickly (because it was very pleasurable) and the machine stopped flashing and was still. In a little alcove of the machine was a tiny new little light. This was the new particle or singularity me and Jessa had created out of our energy dance. We were told to touch our eggs to it and this would seal a new app to our eggs - one that we could take with us and explore together or on our own. This, they said, was what they made new astral technology from including devices and new environments. These substances were very precious because they came from our essential natures.

After that me and Jessa were introduced to this older couple who taught us the basics of astral living. They basically gave us a crash course of how to levitate objects how to pull and push and manifest astral objects. This was my favorite part of the whole AP really... working and playing with my friend. We hovered several objects and even lifted a huge piano together and then learned how to draw on walls using nothing but mental powers. It was tons of fun and we laughed through out it.

It was a really fun night. The end. :)

I went to sleep and woke up in a completely different bedroom. That's when I knew I was in an astral projection. I looked around and it was my old bedroom in my old house when I was a teenager. I got out of bed and went outside using the back porch door.

As soon as I went outside I was floating. It was like gravity didn't exist for me. I floated up the small hill unto the road and around the bend. It was dawning and still a bit dark. I saw a nice pond and floated right unto it. I was afraid I'd get wet but I managed to steer my way clear and back unto the road. It was fun floating above water.

There was a nondescript house there with its second story window open. Right inside the window was a cute black and white kitty. I petted it while still floating outside and it started purring. It knew I was there and liked being pet. I floated down to the ground and went inside the house by opening the front door which was unlocked.

Inside everything was clean and pretty. The entrance led to a living room with a nice couch. I did not see any modern appliances however. I explored some more and found the stairway to the second story. It sort of circled around in an arc as it ascended. Above I found something super interesting.

It was all quiet and deserted. Maybe everyone was asleep so I hesitated to go into the closed rooms. Finally I chose a door and on the other side was a huge Egyptian sarcophagus. I don't think it was made of gold but I had the thought it was some eccentric guy's (or woman's) version of a bed. The lid was closed though. On the walls were all kinds of Egyptian writing. There was all kinds of art everywhere. It was so detailed! I found a bathroom and it was a huge tub with statues on the walls. The spigot was a beautiful naked woman pouring from a vase.

I backtracked and this time I saw people. In one of the main rooms around a big table were several people arguing. They where all dressed in black pajamas. One man was yelling or gesticulating to the others but I couldn't hear them. And for some reason they couldn't see me.

A little apart was a couch and a lovely girl was sitting there. She looked troubled like she didn't like the other people arguing. She was very lovely... so I leaned in and kissed her. As I pulled back her hand went to her lips like she had felt it but not seen me. I woke up right after that.

What a very cool Egyptian house. Everything was so artful and detailed. But I still don't know why those people couldn't see me or why they were arguing. Interesting AP!

I fell asleep on my bean bag and so it was a bit awkward getting up. I looked back at my large bean bag and there was no body. Actually it's been awhile since I've seen my body when I exit. It only happens rarely now. To make sure I was in the astral I engaged my hand jets and started flying in my room floating around. I went right through the wall and then I was outside.

I looked up and down the street for any lights or anything odd. It was mostly dark with all the houses slumbering in the deep dark night. Only one building had their lights on so I headed toward it. On closer examination it appeared to be an arcade with many game machines showing through the window. Next to the entrance where two gorgeous women talking. I was tempted to talk to them but instead went inside the arcade.

Inside was a bouncer who looked kind of tough and checked me out. Before letting me in he said he had to do a scan. He took my hands and held them for like 15 seconds. He then said, "You have to come with me." I was immediately suspicious. I asked him why he had scanned me or done whatever he did and he said, "You shouldn't have asked that." I really didn't know what was going on at that point.

We headed down a corridor. I saw some tables with a few couples eating dinner. We came to a room and the bouncer said, "We've transported your team, they are inside. Just wait until someone comes to get you." I went inside and found four of my old buddies from work. They seemed kind of confused what they where doing there. After a little conversation we established that most of us had just gone to sleep and had been ripped from our respective dreams.

A door in the back opened and out came this crazy looking ape man in a robot suit! He was followed by four more ape men who began beating their chests at us. Someone finally came and explained that the game was about to begin. We were led out into a huge arena with thousands of people cheering. It seemed we were expected to play basketball against the five ape men! I just went with it and led my team unto the court. The game started and we were off all of us getting into the spirit of the game.

The ape men were really good basketball players and embarrassed our team to the laughter of the crowd. I felt a little embarrassed and chagrined as they played circles around us. I think I got the ball only once and scored only one time before I woke up back to my bean bag in bewilderment. Strange huh? Those ape men were really freaky! lol

I had a very strange one last night. It was kind of scary but ultimately inspiring for me.

I became lucid in a green green forest. I was traipsing through the chaparral looking for my exgirlfriend's house.  I had this sense of urgency like something was wrong and I just had to see her. Somehow I knew that her house was somewhere in these woods. The color green was very vivid everywhere.

After searching and searching I saw something in the woods. It was a quaint little trailer like a mobile home or RV. It was really cute and above the door were the numbers 11111. But something was the matter... that sense of something being wrong came to the forefront. As I inspected the cute trailer I saw that the door was hanging off it's hinges. And then I could see the footprints. They looked like lizard footprint all around the little vehicle. I steeled myself and approached. I opened the door and went in!

Inside it was a big mess. Things had been thrown about and shattered objects littered the floor. In one corner was this person that looked like some sort of demon. He had a black hat on and this devilish grin. And he was dirty with half rotten skin. But there was no sign of my girlfriend. The demon started laughing and laughing. I yelled at it to get out and it turned into a dark mist that sped out the door.

I went outside and found this thin white thread that was tied to the trailer. I followed it a short distance into the forest and found the other end tied to a stick. I knew instinctively that my girlfriend's soul was buried under there and I had to deliver it safely back to her. I dug and found it. It was a collection of three small objects. One object was a very green marble with all kinds of kaleidoscope patterns. Another one was a shiny silver knob of a branch where three twigs came together. And the last object was the most delicate butterfly wing all done in pink. I pocketed the objects and went to find my girlfriend.

She was at this school taking a class. It was like a giant treehouse with desks inside. I stormed in yelling her name but couldn't find her. Then I heard her sweet voice, "Here I am!" I have never been so glad to find anyone. I knew then that she was going to be alright.

I explained to her what I had found lurking at her house and how I had banished the demon. I took out a bag and laid out some treasures and gifts from me I had found at her place. Then I told her I had found her soul and that it was safe. I took out the small bag with her soul in it and gave it to her.

And that's when I woke up really suddenly! It was the middle of the night and my neighbors dog was going crazy! Bark bark bark! Howl howl howl! I got up and grabbed my flashlight and looked out the porch door windows. For some reason the dog was going nuts. I saw my neighbor come out and look around the yard for a prowler. Eventually the dog calmed down and I got back in bed and fell back asleep. I still have no idea why the dog started barking but it felt like an omen that it chose that particular instant.

What a strange night!!  :-o

You got a lot to unpackage here. I feel this one disturbs you on a level you don't usually get.

Yeah, sometimes I find myself missing her a lot. Plus I heard she's going into rehab for alcohol problems. I sure hope she's alright... :|

Some very interesting AP's shineling.  I particularly liked the basketball game with the Ape's!  Maybe basketball just isn't your game...Ha Ha!   :lol:

I agree with Nameless regarding your latest AP about searching for your girlfriend.  Lots to take in there and think about.  Things are always so mysterious but part of what makes this whole NP exploration fun as well.  Hope you find the answers your soul is looking for.

Thanks T-Man... that's nice of you to say. Sometimes I get these very strange APs that make no sense. But sometimes I also get really nice APs which makes it all worthwhile.

I just woke up from one of these nice APs. I was slumbering in my bean bag when I found myself able to exit. Why not? I said and performed my phase. In seconds I was in the astral. Getting up from my bean bag is always awkward but I finally managed to get up and perform a centering so that I wouldn't wake up again. Finally when I was grounded in the astral I headed outside.

Wow! It was daytime and the sky was so dang blue! Miles of blue without one cloud in it. The houses looked brand new and bright with all kinds of color. The lawns looked like they had been manicured to perfection and the grass was SO green. The pavement on the street also looked brand new and so shiny! It reflected the sky so the roads looked blue too! It was so beautiful that I just floated there outside my house for a long while looking at everything. There where no cars anywhere and the entire neighborhood looked deserted. It was breathtaking.

I started my explorations by floating down the street and around the corner looking for that anomaly that just begs to be explored. Every AP has one or more. I turned another corner and aha! A car was parked in one of the houses! Anomaly! I approached the house and saw that the car was a Thunderbird. On the front door was a post-it with handwritten writing. It said "hap 8 hab". I don't have a clue what means. Anyway, I opened the door and went in.

Inside it was nice and shady. A contrast from the bright outside. There was a living room which had a television playing the strangest commercials. I watched for awhile. Three people where exploring a cave on tv and they where talking in a foreign language. They had these long one piece suits and they where flying around the cave. Astral television for astral worlds I guess.

I explored some more and found a bedroom with a door open. I looked inside and there was this woman sitting up in her bed! It was so eerie. She was kind of pretty with white skin and dark hair. She was about 30ish and she just looked at me for awhile. Well, I suddenly felt like my temperature rose and so I did the natural thing and joined her in bed. She smiled this little smile that said something like, lucky me! And then we were together.

God! I wish I could have APs this fun all the time! It lasted quite awhile too and was on the graphic side with nice omni-present lighting. Everything including her body looked SO nice. Better than real life. I hope I can get more like that! Everything was so REAL and the sense of touch was so lucid.

It just makes me wonder where these worlds really are and why they are so real. It's definitely an area that needs to be explored. It's another world! Holy-moly! Hehe.  :-D

Last night was my record breaker for strange APs! I went to sleep after meditating for a little and making a small prayer for an interesting AP. Well last night I got one.I went to sleep and after a few minutes performed an exit. And a very strange journey began...

I did not exit into my room as usual. As I rolled out of bed I could tell this was not my room or my house. Looking about and outside the windows I could see I was in some kind of apartment high in the sky. Outside was a beautiful city with all its lights on. I must have been on the 79th floor in some downtown apartment. Everything looked so nice and clean.

There was a man there I met or rather an alien who spoke to me and said we had to go downtown to where all new visitors first stay. He was very nice and asked me questions like my name and where I came from. The alien had no face but just 5 lines that spiraled around his face. And yet sometimes I would see a regular face like a human being. Anyway, we made it downtown where I was put in this big room with a few others. I remembered I was asked what my interests where and people kept coming up to me to ask who I was.

I found a computer and started playing with it. If I had to guess I would say that their level of computing technology was around our 1985 with 8-bit color. A man asked me if I was interested in computers and he asked me if I'd like to learn how to program them. I could swear he took the face of my brother for a moment. It was so sincere and lacked all deceit. So I went with him.

What followed where like 2 days where I learned to live in this new civilization. I went to a house and had my own room and computer where I learned how to make astral games to sell. People would use some kind of astral internet to trade games and movies. They had money or some kind of credit system. That's when I learned that this was a medium-small astral civilization. New people were constantly coming in and so the best way was to set them up with a skill set and place to live. I had been recruited myself by a game creator who taught me how to make the games.

I think a lot of the people there had been around a long time. It felt like a swinging and happening civilization was underway.

They had a funny way of eating even. I still don't understand but every time it was meal time a huge section of space would detach itself from the abstract. To feed you had to find the central cell of this section. Food came out of there like a warm honey. It tasted kinda good. I really don't understand what the eating was about but everyone was having meals like regular. Wierd huh?

Looking in a mirror I could see I was a short little alien too. When I woke up several long hours later into Earth time I felt like I didn't belong in my human shape. I felt a little alien still. It lasted about 2 hours this weird feeling of having been a different form.

Anyway, this brought home how weird the astral can be and those amazing other orders of reality.

Nice AP Shine! I've been having trouble myself bringing back memories. Makes me happy to share in yours.

Thanks Nameless! I'm glad to share and make you happy!

I know what you mean... sometimes I'll go into these cycles where I can't recall anything. Sitting in perfect silence and praying before you go to sleep sometimes helps. I actually pray, "Please allow me to remember my dreams."

Well don't worry... it can't last forever.  :-)

I was drowsing and I slipped sideways into an astral projection. I had been laying down on the couch and then I had passed the boundary and I was in the astral. I was sitting down in a chair looking at a beautiful room. The house was my aunt's house and it looked sparkling clean. There where red drapes in the corners and it looked like it had undergone a makeover. I was in the living room of this big house and I spied a magazine with a beautiful girl on the cover. For some reason it shone with attention. I focused on it and suddenly there was a small miniature figurine about a foot high of this girl. She was dressed in a pretty dress with a short skirt and she looked beautiful.

She was alive moving and looking at me with deep blue eyes. I wished most of all that she was bigger so knowing I was in a lucid dream I wished her Big! She grew to three feet and said, "Make me bigger." So I wished again and then she was in a small alcove in the corner. A curtain was drawn half-way over this small space and inside was the most beautiful girl I've ever seen." I pushed the curtain aside and there was a 5 foot version of the magazine girl.

I learned quite a few things from this girl. She was some kind of dream manifestation. When I asked her why she looked so much like my exgirlfriend she didn't say anything but we were suddenly linked by some psychic connection. She was at once completely my dream and my exgirlfriend all at once. There was no conflict between her and me.  It felt like she would do anything for me. And in exchange I would love her completely. It was beautiful. We went on to do some intimate things.

Suddenly I hear, "Honey, would you like a sandwich? I can make you one..." I turned around and it was my mother calling from the kitchen. I was still in the astral though and my Mom was there. I said goodbye to my girlfriend and went to deal with my mother.

"Common Mom, lets go outside." I took my Mom outside and we went into the street.

Outside it was a beautiful city at mid afternoon. The buildings looked regal with very nice architecture. My mother suddenly had a camera and was shooting pictures of the city. It was kinda funny. And then I looked about and she was disappeared. Gone. I always wondered what I would look like waking up in the middle of a dream to someone else. Now I know... they just vanish.

I went back to the house to look for my girlfriend but as I walked into the front porch I could see that it had been taken over by lots of people. There was a table with 5 people playing poker. There was a man with a rifle in shades in the corner that looked like he belonged to a guerrilla outfit. And there where some skateboarders wasting time near the entrance.

I was a bit disappointed that my dream had been colinized. I woke up right after that.

I went to get some coffee to wake up,and my real Mom is in the kitchen. And she says, "You want a sandwich honey? What can I make you?" I kinda freaked out.

Makes me think that physical reality is just another astral plane. Maybe this is what synchronicity means... our reality may not be as solid as we might think.  :-D

Hi Shineling,

That is very cool. I would be bummed out if I lost my beautiful dream girl too.  :-D What you said about synchronicity and the astral plane. I believe that. I have had "astral visions" blend in with this physical reality. It also makes me think about the force responsible for manipulating our exterior world to acknowledge our inner one. Crazy huh?

All these forms, including myself, I have experienced stretch out and vacuum into that all pervading nothingness or, vibration.

Really cool idea's coming your way!

Wonder what we would do if we found ourselves as entrenched in an alternate reality as we are in this one. How would others here see us then? Would our bodies here continue on automatically or what?

I went to sleep with the intention of APing but had a tough time exiting my body. I kept waking up. On my third attempt I was slowly able to exit without breaking the spell. I immediately went outside and saw that it was nighttime in the astral with long puffy clouds moving through the sky. I took flight and floated down the street looking for something interesting. The houses in the neighborhood suddenly vanished and a field followed by a hill presented itself. I flew over the hill and there was the ocean as far as the eye could see. The water was aqua color with a glow all of its own.

For some reason gravity was becoming an issue. I began to sink and plop went right into the ocean. For a split second I saw a door in the water and then I was in the water. I got sucked down into the depths.

As suddenly as that I was rolling down a hill like I had been spit out. At the bottom I came to a highway where cars where going by very fast. Some of them beeped at me. It was nighttime but I could see that the cars where no ordinary cars. They all looked to be the same model and they where small and boxy. A started walking down the highway wondering where the heck I was when one of the cars stopped. Someone rolled down the window and asked, "Are you lost?"

I explained I was astral projecting and they asked where I was from. I said I was from Florida and they said they had never heard of it. "Well you shouldn't really be out here in the middle of the night. Common, we'll give you a ride into town." I got into their car and off we went. There where two girls and a male driver. They appeared to be human. In the car I asked them where I was and the driver said,  "You are on P Sphere 1159." (What kind of a crazy astral place is this? I asked myself. Lol.)

Well we went to like a cop station where they explained I was lost and that I needed someone to take me back to my own astral plane. Someone with know how was summoned and I was put in his charge. He was wearing loose fitting clothing all in black. Well I followed him and we went through a maze of astral planes until we crossed a sea and a hill and there was my neighborhood. We landed next to my house where I thanked the nice man and went inside. As soon as I was in my room I woke up!

Last night I was trying to AP and I must have gone to sleep and missed my window because I don't remember an exiting sequence. However, I found myself lucid soon after and I knew I had made it to the other side. This was kind of an interesting dream/AP for me.

I was completely naked and gravity was heavy. Around me were the shambles of my neighborhood. The houses (what was left of them) were falling down and deteriorating. There were no more lawns or grass just piles and heaps of dirt. I could feel the grit between my toes. I was quickly loosing the small amount of rationality I had left and slipping into a nightmare.

Suddenly a group of soldiers come over a hill. There where about 10 of them and they where wearing modern military fatigues with the American flag emblazoned on their left shoulder. On their right shoulder was what looked like a pyramid with an eye inside it.

They surrounded me and I felt really awkward being all naked and dirty. The leader started asking me things like, "what are you doing out here?" and "what could you possibly be looking for out here? You know where you are? John do a scan on him." So "John" gets behind me and puts one hand under my chin and the other on top of my head. "Just relax. Just relax." I stay still until John says to his leader, "He's an innocent!" They get into some discussion about me. I guess they are surprised to find an "innocent" this far out here.

"Well someone has to take him back." They are a little frustrated that they have to deal with me at this point but a truck appears out of nowhere and they tell me to get inside. I get in the front with the driver on one side and another soldier on my right. We start driving so fast down a road and I get a good view of all the damage.

I start to see familiar places from environments from dreams I had like 6 months ago. We go farther and farther and now I'm seeing things from dreams I had years ago. The truck is going through barricades without stopping. Things look nice again and there's pretty trees and neighborhoods again. Finally we stop at a train station that looks pretty clean and modern. The soldiers let me out of the truck and one of them says to me in parting, "Take care now. Don't go too far next time ok?" Without a second glance they ride off.

I wake up soon after that. That's like the second time I've had someone take me "back" when I was lost. Maybe it's not such a good idea to get lost out there huh?

Epic

Well, in my experience there are two sides to reality. Right and left. Castaneda called them the tonal and the nagual. The right side or tonal is everything of man. The nagual is the abstract that dream essence.

I would put that last AP in the realm of man. I think it's reflecting what Castaneda called the tonal of the times. Something negative is happening or will very soon happen to the world. It's beginning to creep into my dreams of man. I hope I'm wrong...

Last night was out of sight! It was probably one of the strangest lucid dreams I've had.

At first I found myself fishing for huge fish from this rocky beach. There where a few other people fishing for big game there too. For some reason every time you caught one of these big fish you had to be careful how you reeled it in or you ended up with a fish with a broken neck. I finally got a bite and reeled in my fish through the shoals without a broken neck.

The next part was about an old lady and some kind of teacher. The teacher was explaining how we would switch minds me and this old lady. It was supposed to teach us what it's like being other people. Well, the teacher did his magic and I was suddenly inside the body of an old lady. But the thing is the body came with the brain or mind of the person too. It was super awkward at first trying to understand what was happening. The teacher explained that we would not only have the body of this new person but the mind and feelings as well. Well... like I said, it was super weird. I had to learn to walk in a new body but also how she felt walking. I had all these new feelings I can't even describe.

The old lady had my body and mind and it was strange seeing myself move around as someone else. As I settled into it I realized all these pressing "weights" on my new mind. I realized they were worries. The old lady had three children and I realized I worried a lot about them. My husband was dead and I missed him terribly. I was worried about money too and what I would do if I got evicted.

Well after about 30 minutes the teacher returned to separate us and put us back into our own body and minds. I had been visiting with my three new children who I loved so much. The teacher did his magic and I felt a sudden relief to be myself again. It felt like taking a dip in a nice warm and familiar bath. It felt so good to be back.

The next part was me and this old lady talking about our experiences to each other and going around to other couples and seeing how they where doing. Many people where experiencing switching bodies and minds. I didn't really bother them it was just like watching a movie. I learned a lot from watching other people switch minds and bodies too. There was this couple who switched and the wife had found out some real secrets about him - like how he had left a family behind in his younger years and how bad he felt about it.

Well, it was a super interesting night to say the least!

Shineling,
It's just my opinion, so take my comments that seem to fit with your experiences and maybe give a little consideration to the ones that are possibly close. Over most of the last year I can see what I think are significant insights and recognitions along your path and the good progress you are making; much of it is apparent and similar to my own. Your progress is also excellently described through the works of Kurt Leland.

Leland was the first author I read to describe how we each create our own unique and individual 'translation tables' or 'interpretation models' as we move our consciousness into these increasingly Non-Physical and energetic dimensions- Etheric, Astral, Mental, Causal...etc...if you choose to categorize them in this fashion. Regardless of how we name these dimensions or choose to subdivide them, they do exist and many of us notice distinct qualities that differentiate them. These dimensions are obviously not physical but rather energetic and containing energetic consciousness structures that can be 'interpreted' differently depending on the observer. A primary example is that around July of last year, you noticed that you were utilizing some type of mass transit rail system in your lucid dreams to navigate around the Astral. A significant insight. At various times Leland noticed he was using his local Boston bus transit system, at other times an underground rail or even a Venetian river system with gondolas and guides. Another experiencer once mentioned riding on the Harry Potter Hogwart's train and I immediately recognized the metaphor.  In my own experiences, I've been on buses and trains and in passenger cars. There are two key insights to be made here: 1 that we are utilizing some transport mechanism to navigate first our personal Dream zone, then the wider Astral zone; 2 that these are individual interpretations of a generalized transport system within these dimensions/planes.

A few months later, you mentioned noticing an increase in the vividness of certain colors such as blue and green, clear blue skies, also your cognitive awareness increases and you can think more clearly and without worrying as much about losing the experience. This is another sign that you're moving into a higher and more clear part of the present dimension or even into the next...Astral to lower Mental. Fear and sexual issues start to fade, but the complexity of your experience increases noticeably demanding increased cognition and awareness to new challenges. Entering the mind of another being is one of those new challenges. Experiencing their perspective is fascinating but also demands you maintain the integrity of your own identity. This will likely not be your first test in this area.
You may find more information comes through if you devote a 20 minute reflective meditation on each of these several last experiences. That proved surprisingly helpful for me.

I hope that I'm right and you have moved into a new realm of experience and challenge. Stay open and enjoy!
EV

Hey Escape Velocity! Thanks for taking the time to write all that! I appreciate all the information. I have noticed more experiences where colors are super vivid... and I sort of have started to loose my interest in the sexual aspect. I'm gonna look into Leland for sure. That sounds really interesting. Thanks for suggesting! I know I'm not as knowledgeable as many people on here... I have sorta learned the ropes on my own. I'm not sure if this is a good or bad thing, hehe. Anyway, thank you very much!  :-)

I think it's a wonderful thing. "Experiential wisdom." It's what we are all here for.

I can attest to viewing through the eyes/mind of others. Very cool.

I was so tired but decided to try exiting anyway. When I had reached my level, I separated. I found myself in very different surroundings.

I was laying in bed in what looked like a college dorm room. There was another bed on the opposite wall and a desk next to each bed.  Everything looked pristine and beautiful and fresh with sparkle. I got out of bed and found the door. The door wouldn't open until I hit a blue lighted button next to it. It slid sideways like a Star Trek door.

Outside was a long hallway which I followed for a long time in silence. It came to a beautiful garden area which had many paths veering at right angles. This is when I started seeing all these panels with techy displays with buttons. They where in the walls of every corner. It felt like this place had a form of virtualization.  I went up to one of the big displays in the middle of the gardens and saw a map of the levels. One said "Store" so I went there by hitting it on the panel. I was immediately outside the Store which looked like a modern mall but with many more plants and brightness. I went in.

I wandered around and it looked like a regular store with tons of stuff to buy. Before I can see what's for sale I bump into one of the clerks which asks, "Is there anything I can help you find?" I try to speak but my voice cracks and I can't speak right for some reason. The clerk brings out some device and a window in space appears with text and icon boxes. "You're missing most of the base add-ons but you have one very interesting add-on. This icon represents a free soul," he explained. The icon showed a tree with three big leaves. We went around the store adding "add-ons" to my inventory. By the end I could talk like normal and float.

I remember going back to my room but I found 6 people there going through my things. I got the hang of the techy panels and dialed myself a new private room. It was nice and cozy in darkness with blue, red, and yellows. Colored crystals hung from the ceiling and the dim lighting revealed a nice plush chair with entertainment system. Off to one side is a nice big bed in dark blue. On one wall is a desk with a panel. I can't really explain but there was this feeling of safety that felt so good.

I think I went to sleep and got some real good sleep.

I had prayed for a vision of Light for about a week. Last night I finally got it.

I don't remember how I exited my body but when I became lucid I was in this garden waiting outside an office of sorts to see someone. It was almost like it had been scripted and I was playing a part. Suddenly this nice old man came out and said "Come in Sergio! We've been waiting for you." I went into his office, a nice brick little building in the midst of this amazing garden, and he sat me down. He explained that he was the head of this school and gifted children of Light come here to be tested. I said OK to most of what he was talking about until he got to the part about the Test. I inquired, "What kind of test is it?" He explained that it was a test to see how well I could handle the Life Stream. He said that every gifted child of Light has some knack in handling it and he wanted to see what area I was using. (ok)

He shuffled me out of the door and I was guided by a woman in a robe who took me to this big Old Tree. The tree was enormous and there was a door in it. Around me where all kinds of other people. As I waited to be let into the Tree I had a conversation with a few other initiates who had already taken the Test. They chatted my ear off about all this amazing stuff that had happened to them while they handled the Life Stream. I was more than a little excited to see what I could do with it.

The old man who had seen to me earlier finally arrived and he opened the door to this big beautiful Tree and let me in. Inside where all kinds of flashing lights dancing in fractal patterns. There where mists that went on forever and chasms of Light. The old man explained a few things to me. He said that as the Life Stream flowed through me I would naturally know what to do with it. He said not to worry and gave me a few telepathic visions of what other people could do with it. I was quite blown away with all the abstractions of Light that poured into my head.

He closed the door behind him and I was left alone in this big room of Light.

Suddenly I was charged with Life. It was like a giant python of Light had been put in my hands and it was my job to steer it and control it... but it wasn't in my hands - it flowed through my very soul. It was so much Power all at once! It roared like a thousand lions! I "grabbed" unto it and I just was There! I was in that area where you can go only alone. It was so powerful! It was like I was a filament of Light itself. I was inside it and I was also outside it. I was in between. And I surfed this 1 million gigawatt beam of Light and pointed it straight to the Heavens where I climbed and soared higher and higher.

The vision only lasted about a minute. Then I was gently placed on the ground and the Light dimmed down slowly... and then I was alone.

You've been shown the light and allowed to hold it within your being. Now the question is what will do with this light?
Don't answer that, just contemplate on it.

Thanks Nameless... that's totally cool. Well, last night I had this dream about rescuing two orphaned little children - a little boy and a little girl. They seemed to be abandoned in a very low astral plane. Well, we all ended up climbing unto a sail boat and heading toward the horizon. Something felt so good about that dream... so if anything I'd like to help people or souls that are on lower planes climb unto higher ones. Who knows right? But someday I would totally like to help less fortunate souls.  :-) Anyway, thanks!

These sound like great experiences shineling! In your language maybe it was for you to "learn how to handle the Life Stream" which may more accurately characterize our language description of "learning to Go with The Flow"...interesting!

The last experience with the children may very well have been a Retrieval. It is your feeling/intuition within this experience that holds the key to understanding.

Nicely done!

Thanks EscapeVelocity!  :-)

Well, I think the term "Life Stream" in my dream probably comes from my studies of Sant Mat. I attended their church for awhile and had a teacher that helped me out (and did a lot of reading on it.) They believe in the Audible Life Stream. It's the precept that the Universe has a sound (the Word of God) and if you tune into it it can lead you all the way Home. It's a skill really and you use your brow and crown chakras. This Life Stream also gives life to the "84 trillion" forms of Life including Angels, Humans, and the lower ghosts. Anyway, if you are interested... I started with The Path of the Masters. It's pretty much the Sant Mat bible.

Yeah, a soul retrieval sounds interesting. Maybe I'll do some reading on it. Thanks!

Ok, talk to ya laters! ;)

I was kind of hesitant to post this one... it's kind of strange... but what the heck lol.

I went to sleep kind of late. I notice that the later I stay up the more intense my APs are. After a slow clumsy separation I found myself in a beautiful castle room with pink drapes and soft blue hues. Around me where girls. Tons of them! They had me surrounded!

A few took me in hand and led me to an old style bathtub where they proceeded to wash me thoroughly. After that they dyed my hair raven black. After that I got a manicure and a pedicure. Looking in a mirror I could see that my black hair was long now like a girls. And kind of pretty!

Here comes the weird part. Naked as I was the girls surrounded me again and a few came forth to stimulate me. Once I was erect a beautiful blond came forth with a beautiful sword and with one swing chopped it off! I screamed! Another girl came forth and carved what was left of my manhood out! Looking down I could see a gaping slit with blood where my peepee used to be!  :-o

"It's almost over! Don't worry!" one of the pretty girls was saying. One girl had a device which she then scanned me with a blue light on my parts. Suddenly I had a full blown vagina. As far as vaginas go I thought it was pretty decent! They did their scan again and suddenly I had breasts!

Well, they dressed me up in a nice dress and put me in front of this regal mirror. I was a beautiful girl! AHHH! lol

One of the wierdest APs I've ever had, that's for sure!   :lol:

OMG! The transgender agenda has spread to the astral :-o just kidding..

Strange one for sure :-D

 :-D Last time I checked I was totally straight! Honest!

But it was fascinating... I'm a graphic artist by trade. Here is what I looked like in the mirror as this girl. I was inspired.  :-P

(https://lhandslide.com/images/kat7.jpg)

Made it with Daz3d Studio btw.  :-)

WOW :-o you've got some skills! That's beautiful, cute girl :-)

Often thought about recreating/drawing(on pc) some of the stuff from the NP, but so far it's just been some scribbles with windows paint. Any program you would recommend for a novice ?

Thanks Bob! Well, if you want to get started in 3D look at Blender. It's free and can model and render stuff.

If you want to get into 3D figures like that picture, look into Daz3D Studio or Poser. I like Daz3d myself but they are both good and easy to learn. You don't have to be a super artist to get started.

And of course you might want to get a good paint program like Photoshop to edit images with. Not too sure about the free options there since I have an Adobe subscription. Do some searching.

Hey, thanks again and good luck!  :-)

Did you feel pain when they did this?

Zero pain... Although it was kind of gruesome at one point seeing blood.

The question was asked on the other forum where I post why I thought I had this experience. Here is my response. https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/omtalks/sergio-s-journal-t1414-s60.html (https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/omtalks/sergio-s-journal-t1414-s60.html)

Well... I've been thinking about it and I think there are several factors that made this very lucid experience manifest. I don't know for sure of course so these are just theories.

I've been trying to curb my appetites for sex and add a level of discipline to my spiritual practice. I've really been successful at not using that part of my life for about 2 months now. I hardly ever perform any sexual acts these days. So maybe this has backfired and produced a resonance with my female aspect.

I've pretty much turned off my sex these last couple months just to see what would happen. This might explain the whole thing. I feel a great relief that it doesn't have such a hold on me anymore. Really, it's been about 2 or 3 years since I started cutting down.

Anyway, I found the experience strangely calming at the end when I was a whole woman. What I felt at that moment was that I had shed that obnoxious passion that boys have to deal with. I know that I've harbored feelings of resentment toward undisciplined sexual addictions all boys have to deal with.

I would be lying if I didn't acknowledge that if I had the opportunity at a sex life with the right partner I would probably go for it. Just not so much sex anymore.

Sex is a healthy part of a relationship. Just remember, "everything in moderation"!  :-)

Interesting. I always feel quite literal pain sensations when there is a "procedure" on me - I wish I didn't  :cry:

Anyway, your interpretation sounds spot on to me! The symbolism is pretty clear and makes total sense given what you've been trying to do with your spirituality and discipline.

Here is the direct link to Shineling's post : https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/omtalks/sergio-s-journal-t1414-s60.html#p9449 (https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/omtalks/sergio-s-journal-t1414-s60.html#p9449)

I went to sleep exhausted. I got in bed and fell asleep. I woke back up in a few minutes though but then realized I was in the astral. I was still in bed though so I got up and ran outside.

Everything was dark outside except for one house down the street that was very well lighted. I floated and zipped down the street. There where many people at the house. Most where talking together or just walking around or I saw some people having a beer and smoking. I went into the house to explore the party.

There was a couch inside in the living room and there was this pretty girl sitting on it. She was reading a thick book. I sat down and wanted to talk to her but she seemed very concentrated with her book. I started playing with her hair and she looked up to me. I said hi and asked her if I could have a kiss. She smiled and I kissed her. She kissed me back and we did that for awhile. After that I went back outside.

There was something going on outside. People had gathered to watch an art of war. Two boys where manipulating reality and making dream manifestations. They used lines that created the shape and then gave it life. The two dream shapes were kinda fighting each other like an astral version of a wrestling match. The two crazy shapes had all kind of ingenious shapes to fight each other. They came together and tried to dominate the other. The two boys responsible had their arms out into the sky as they brought their line shapes to life.

Finally, they shapes turned into spaceships and the two boys took to the air as they rode them. They fought in mid air and came crashing down unto the ground. In the middle of this spaghetti mess of lines the two boys came together and started playing another game. I couldn't follow it fully but it was some kind of intellect game trading lines together and seeing who could fool who.


Anyway, that's when I went home. Went down the street and found my house. I went in and back to my bed. It was empty and I fell into it and woke up. I had been out for about 50 minutes. I went back to sleep and awoke the next day after considerably more vivid dreams than I usually have.

Hello Shineling/Sergio.

I like a lot reading your Experiences in this Topic.

It'd be nice to read also about the "Negative" experiences that you have and learning from them (I also have Really Nice and Interesting experiences as well as Not Nice at All and Disgusting experiences like being Attacked in different ways while being Lucid in Astral Realms).

I know that you've preferred to share only your Positive experiences, but I'd appreciate if you can please share also the "Negative" ones and the ways you've handle them while in the Astral Realms as well as in your Waking Life; if you want to create a different Topic for those "Negative" experiences it'd be ok, but please share a link to that Topic to be able to read them as well as I've read all your anecdotes in this Topic (one of my favorite ones in the Astral Pulse).

I appreciate the attention you can give to my humble request in this post, and I send my best regards and thanks to you for sharing your experiences and anecdotes.

My Best Regards.

It gets better... as I've practiced the ways of Light for awhile now I can say it's the only way of getting out of all that. When I was in my twenties I was attacked for over a year with awful astral energy. It came while I was awake and produced voices and hungry ghosts. It was so bad I was diagnosed with passive schizophrenia.

I still get negative energies after me from time to time but these days I'm more prepared to deal with it. So I live relatively happy and have mostly interesting dreams. I'm actually starting to have a lot of fun with it... exploring and going where I've never been before.

Maybe someday I'll write all about those negative energies but maybe someday...

Thanks for posting.  :-)

Last night was the second time I've had an experience like this. I was lucid but I was kind of a different person. I was still me but I was also another version of myself.

This version of myself was a spiritual warrior who had relocated to the Badlands to study evil. Not to practice it of course, but to gain knowledge of it so I could defeat it.

This time I had built a little hut on the lower hell realms and I was studying this group of hell beings incognito. I had a magic bubble that disguised me and helped hide me. I was watching these hell beings with my binoculars from about 25 meters away. They where some kind of organized sect that practiced evil. They where going through some ritual dances as I watched them. On their faces they had living worms and their flesh looked bruised and rotten. They chanted and swung big knives around.

I could feel the environment around me. The bad vibes were palpable this close to the hell realms. I reminded myself that the information I gathered here was valuable and would help me in the War. The only war. The war against the dark side...

I was watching these beings and suddenly one of them saw me or sensed me. He yelled and all of them got really excited. They spotted me and started running in my direction. I panicked and started running toward Heaven. Somehow I knew in which direction to go and I ran for all my life. I could hear screams of anger coming closer behind me.

I ran and ran away from hell. I passed forgotten ruins and slowed down. They where really pretty and I found myself in a beautiful enchanted forest. The ruins where scattered through it. I forgot about the hell beings knowing I had left them behind. Everything was so quiet except for the caw of a raven somewhere in the trees. I came to this open area where sunlights beams where streaking from above. Dust motes hung in the air and one small little moth flapped its wings above me. The moth was making the most beautiful little sounds like a flute. There was a thin quiet high frequency sound like the type a crystal might make when it's vibrated with electricity.

I kept on walking and entered a long lit hallway. It came to a ballroom with a grand staircase that went up to the higher realms. There where people there and singularities of light. But for some reason I couldn't move as fast. The closer I got to the staircase the slower I moved. I noticed that everyone close to the top was moving very slowly. It didn't feel like I was being impeded but that I was entering a different realm. One where reverence was needed and a much slower more appreciative awareness.

I kept on moving forward and with it came patience and stillness and a sense of wholesomeness. I inched my way up the stairs and into the Light. Amen.

I find it interesting the concept of money in the astral. Some astral planes use currency but some don't. I personally have always been able to pay for stuff that is on sale. I've been to a few astral bizars and they use a credit based system with astral tech. When I use my astral wallet there's always money in it. So I don't understand if Everyone is dreaming of money and it's not real or maybe the currency is valid within the astral plane.

I remember one time I landed on an astral plane with thieves and rip off artists. They would go around in groups ripping people off of their wallet money. After I got ripped off I found my wallet brimming with money... so it sounds like they are just dreaming of ripping people off instead of really ripping people off. I personally think money is pointless in the astral. Maybe it's just a leftover affectation from physical world based currency...

I went to sleep very tired but still had some giddy energy so it took me awhile to fall asleep. I had programmed myself for an exit and when I became lucid I floated/hopped out of bed and went into the night. I was expecting it to be dark outside in the astral but I was shocked to see the whole neighborhood all lighted up despite the darkness of the night. It was as if the houses had been painted with neon or phosphorescent paint. They looked so colorful and pretty.

I started by floating down the street and taking a good look at my neighborhood. It was beautiful with all the special colors. I decided to go into one of the houses as they sometimes serve as gateways into further astral explorations. I chose a charming house done in white and blue. In I went. The door was unlocked as usual.

Inside it was also well lighted and it looked pretty normal and clean. The light wasn't coming from a source. Like I said, everything seemed phosphorescent. On one wall was a big mirror. As I stared at it it changed and became a tunnel. It was super cool and so I crept into the mirror and found myself inside an underground tunnel. The tunnel was made of stone with all kinds of angles. I negotiated my way around turns and dips and finally found an exit to the surface. What greeted me was out of this world.

I was in the clouds. It was super bright. It was abstract. In the clouds were pictures like a comic book. Very detailed pictures that moved like animations. As I inspected the animations I realized they where scenes from some of my favorite shows on tv like Game of Thrones! I went closer to one cloud with a scene from GoT with a dragon in it. I went into the cloud and suddenly I was just there riding the dragon through vast landscapes. He was gorgeous and while I rode my dragon new clouds appeared that gave me all kinds of new possibilities. In one cloud I could land in a castle and make love to the dragon queen herself. In another I could lead a team of dragon riders against the zombie dead. It was so cool!

I must have spent hours going from dream cloud to dream cloud. I wish I could remember it all. I really enjoyed myself with this one. Wish I could describe it better but words just don't suffice to make this type of astral experience well... describable! I was SO out there! I hope heaven is like this and if it was I would not be disappointed. The end.

Spectacular! As soon as you mentioned a dragon I was hoping there'd be a ride on it like in the Neverending Story or something. You didn't disappoint!  :-D

Lol, thanks GrumpyRabbit! Yeah, it was way neat...I could feel the mucles bunching as it flapped it wings. The dragon was a reddish color.  :-)

This was a really detailed lucid dream. I can't really figure out why I had it but it was truly fascinating.

This is the story of the Nuevo Family. They live in the 23rd century where Greg Nuevo, the father, is a great inventor and quantum field specialist. He was the guy that advanced quantum fields like antigravity, shields, and tractor beams. He became especially famous for inventing the quantum egg which is a personal shield and transportation device that fits over a human body. Well, Greg was also a very enlightened dude and in his mid thirties he and his wife Laura put up many meditation centers. These became very popular because they where extremely beautiful meditation centers at one with Nature. Greg and Laura had started what was to be called the Egg Transcendence.

Later, Greg became even more famous when he developed a system for nudging avalanches before they could collapse and reek havoc. He used his field technology to trigger the avalanches in a controlled fashion. He could be seen inside his quantum egg driving the avalanche down off the mountain. It was a spectacular site. The headline read: "Greg Nuevo Drives the World."

After that the Nuevos had two children. I was introduced to their teenage daughter who took me on my first tour to Greg's new invention, the quantum tunnels. There where tunnels like in a water park but instead of water they used quantum fields and brain scanning technology. You could ride a tunnel and create amazing firestorms of plasma inside them by imagining them. My trip down a tunnel was amazing and Sara Nuevo, Greg's first daughter, showed me a firestorm she had made down one of the large tunnels. It was  beautiful... we rode the tunnel as fields of red and violet plasma danced around us.

Well, Greg's last and final invention was really a doozy and quite controversial. He built a giant quantum bubble city. The thing was that the bubble flipped (inverted) as thousands of his followers entered the field. They just vanished! All they left was a spectacular miasma of energy that could be seen by touring the city from the inside. Some said they had died a spectacular death but it was theorized that the people who had been inverted continued on in a new form of Life. Yep, you guessed it... that was how Greg and Laura "died"... they were inverted when the bubble city flipped.

The Nuevo children went on to have children of their own and many still live in the bubble city giving tours and running the meditation centers. How about those Nuevos? :) wow

The end.

This one was more than a lucid dream... it was a vision. I woke up suddenly into the dream. I was falling into churning brown river water and then I was being pulled with the current downriver. I managed to grab unto an edge and found cold obsidian. I nevertheless pulled myself unto the land. Everywhere where sharp edges and it was impossible to walk without cutting your feet. I decided to plunge back in the water and see what was downriver.

I was taken downriver and there is a gap and I find a small alcove set next to a cliff. No sharp edges. Nice soft brown dirt. It's a small place but cozy. In one corner is an open newspaper like someone has been reading. In the middle are 25 different game cartridges still in their wrappers. Only one game cartridge is open and only the wrapper remains - it says Sergio46.

I saw myself Reading that newspaper and being myself - flashing through to another side that was a separate reality. And I thought about those other games in the packages. And I wondered what they where...

Imagine my surprise when I go to the Wikipedia on A Separate Reality and find my book referenced, Guardians of the Separate Reality. Pretty neat huh? If you are interested you can get it on Amazon Kindle. https://www.amazon.com/Guardians-Separate-Reality-Guide-Adventurers-ebook/dp/B07MPNKVQB

 Shineling, I think that's the first time you ever mentioned that you had wrote a book before. I read the free intro at the link you provided. Great work. I love your take on the Nature spirits. I was impressed with what I read there! Very well done!  :-) 8-)

Was your work based on recorded research that has been done or did it come from a result of your NPR experiences?

Hey Lumaza, thanks for responding.  :-)

Well, I did do a lot of research but this came about because I used to spend a lot of time in the forest. I saw some incredible things out there including animals that could change their shape and become other animals. This led me to do much reading on shamanism and the Nature Guardians including an in-depth study on all the Castaneda materials. I was able to corroborate a lot of my experiences so I knew I wasn't just going crazy. I noticed too that a lot of information was lacking so I wanted to add my own voice and share my own experiences with the Nature Guardians. One thing I learned is that we are all connected to Nature and if we want to uncover our own personal mysteries we need only seek that higher Nature connection. I also learned through experience that there are guardians that guard those special awarenesses and by seeking them we can garner allies to help us on our journey. Because of the aid of these beings sometimes the world collapses and we can take a peek behind the curtain of reality. There is a certain order and techniques to making contact with Earth's nature guardians... so that's really what the book is about. A way to get in touch with the Spirit and all the benefits that come with it.

Anyway, I'm thinking of writing a second book. This one will be more about dreaming and NPR experiences. I'm finding though that it's all connected. Reality is one flowing phenomena...

Thanks again for saying hi!  :-) Cya.

shineling,

That's great to see you have a published book.  I love reading and listening to as many books as I can regarding the topics discussed here on the forum.  I have always enjoyed reading your posts so I have now added your book to my reading queue!

I don't have an e-reader anymore but looks like it won't be too bad reading it on my iPhone!

T  :-)

Thanks T-Man! I really appreciate the kind words. I hope you enjoy the book.  :-)  It's not a long read. If you want it's also available on Apple iBooks. Just do a search for it. Cya around and thanks again.  :-P

In the last two months I think I've entered a new phase in my exiting technique. I used to go sleep and sort of set myself up to pop into lucidity after drifting into sleep. Now however, I can really stay with the moment and watch myself fall asleep. Then as soon as I can "wiggle" I push myself out. It seems I can do it at will because I've succeeded everytime I've tried this new way. I wonder if the exiting technique keeps evolving and where it leads to.

Last night I was really in a dare-devil mood. I exited and even though it was dawning in the physical world it was dark outside in the astral. I found my favorite house and the lights on the porch where on. It's like some kind of neighborhood party house where there's always something going on - including hooking up. I decided I wanted some fun so I went into the house to see if anyone wanted to hang out.

Inside it's kind of dim with cozy shadows. There was a girl there sitting on the couch. She was the prettiest out of three girls that where there. I approached her and we spent awhile getting to know each other. She was very kissable. Imagine my surprise when she pulls out a gadget and starts flipping through realities. It was like a very skinny iPad and we flip-booked through many different environments.

It was a crazy night but after her I found another girl and had some fun with her. And then I had a third. Playing with girls in the astral is fun. Everyone is themselves and everyone is happy to share true Love. :)

It was a lucid dream this time. I was sitting in an arm chair staring at keleidoscope patterns in a fireplace. It was the picture of cozy. It looked like the most comfortable wooden cabin. I went outside and saw that my cabin was one of eight. There was a dirt road with four cabins on either side. Around this little village was a deep forest with tall healthy trees.

I saw someone come out of the cabin across the street and we started talking. He was a dude around my age and he was very friendly. We instantly became buddies. A man and woman were approaching the cabin next to mine. They where each carrying a sack full of something. My new friend asked them what they where carrying and the guy said, "apple melons."

Suddenly there was a low rumble like far away thunder. We all looked toward the horizon and could see a big storm coming. And I mean a big storm - the clouds where almost black.

"Get inside! Get inside! Sergio has the strongest house so we'll all meet there. Get your apple melons everyone and bring them to Sergio's." Everyone went to get their apple melons. I helped my neighbor carry a few sacks to my house. I was almost to my door when the entire sky turned black and the wind started howling. I could hear crazy haunting voices in the deep dark fog. And then there was darkness. I used my flashlight to find my house. My neighbors followed me in carrying the last of the apple melons. We closed and bolted the door.

Outside you could hear the storm howling. The best part of the dream happened next. My neighbor took a small box from his belt and said, "PROTECT!" then he threw the small cube at the windows. The little box expanded and the two Guardians stepped out. They look like super cool characters from a comic book or something. One had huge muscles and looked like a Viking warrior. The other had a mane of spikes around and on his head that made him look like a sun god. They did a little dance and then merged into the windows making sort of a barrier.

We hunkered down and waited for the storm to pass. This was obviously no ordinary storm. I could hear crazy laughter coming from outside and the windows and doors rattled noisily. It was pretty scary.

Something bumped into my leg and a looked down to see the cutest white kitten. I sat down and petted the little cat which purred and butted his head against my hand.

"Here Sergio," someone said. I looked up and someone had cut and peeled some apple melons on a plate. I took a piece and put it in my mouth. It tasted like apples and watermelons! Yummi!

The end. :-)

I keep finding new ways to exit. This time I was dozing and I started to imagine myself running in a forest. Slowly the trees got more vivid and background music started to play. I can't imagine who was playing such beautiful music. I glided up into the sky and saw towns and beautiful neighborhoods. The people seemed so real. I landed in the second story of a bar.

Inside was a group of people who I talked to. The first talk was about how getting close to the center of the universe dissolved you into pure Spirit. Someone said they where 47% sure they could go all the way soon and become pure Spirit. Then Jack the Rat showed up and said he would tell my prophesy. He said you can tell how old a soul is by the amount of times it had touched the Truth. He said I had touched it at least once in my current life and I would touch it again before it was over.

I woke up right after that refreshed. The end.

Wow, shineling that is amazing. I notice music is such a nice experience in the NP. Very interesting the way you described your exit... I think I had a similar experience just this morning. And really cool, whoever you were talking with. Wow!

Thanks Tides2Dust! I really enjoy when I hear astral music too. It doesn't happen very often but it's nice to hear those angels playing. Yeah, there must be 1,000 ways to exit. I'm constantly learning new tricks to it. Whatever works I guess.

Thanks again! Cya around the forums.  :-)

I'm kind of hesitant to post this one because it really kind of scared me. It's one of those experiences I really can't explain so it's left me bewildered and a bit scared.

I was falling asleep when I heard thousands of voices all around me. Visually I got an impression of a structure that looked like the Tower of Babel. I got kind of paranoid because I couldn't make all the voices stop. They where talking over each other and it sounded almost like a roar there where so many.

I don't know what spurred me but I screamed, "Iceman Honey Buns!!!" into all the voices. Suddenly it all got quiet and there was a sudden hush. I woke up right after that.

Now here is where I get worried because 2 days after I had that dream someone called my house and left a very strange message on the answering machine. All the message said was, "The codename is Iceman."

Anyone can figure out how that is possible? I'm just worried that my dreams aren't as personal as I thought dreams are supposed to be. And now someone out there knows my dreams and is calling me on the phone?? Do they know where I live? Am I in danger?

So I'm a little worried and don't know what to do...

Wow that's creepy, I would be a little worried too. If you live in an apartment and happen to talk in your sleep or vocalized the scream, someone could have heard you and is messing with you. Other then that I have no suggestions.

I've heard "thousands of voices" one time right before entering the vibrational state, they were very high pitched, and sounded angry. So I'm a bit curious as to how the voices you heard sounded.

Hi Bob,

Well... the voices sounded normal. Just like a really crowded room. And I live in a house and I don't think I yelled it out loud. My friend thinks it might be hackers but I have never written about "Iceman" before. Yeah, it's creepy... has all kind of crazy ideas coming to my head. Oh well... maybe it's just a flook. Thanks for responding... cya around the forum.  :-)

Do you have a cell phone, echo on any devices, echo dot for instance. Not to make you paranoid but our phones and many other tech devices are now very capable of listening in on us. Amazon's Sidewalk went global June 8th. If you are familiar with the Terminator movies think Skynet.

But it makes me wonder whether shineling screamed outloud or in the NP realm?

Dear Shineling,

You are so in touch with your universe, you might be able to pray on this and receive further insight. It could be one of those hyper-connected, universal language, moments.
It could be worth completely dropping from your mind.

There may be a pleasant surprise.

Whatever the case, you are the power. From what you've shared, and what I gather from you- I know you are protected.

I believe that.

My kind regards. Wishing you a peaceful slumber and further clarification to your unique experience.

woah that's weird. Can you get your phone records from your provider and see where the incoming call came from at that time?

It's almost been a month since we've heard from shineling. Hope you are well after your scare.

OP, maybe you must not think about it too much, there is a lot of strange things that happened to me too while falling asleep through the years, if I think of everything that will be a straight path to  :evil:

I just tried this forum famous noticing Exercise for a week and I must say it's pretty good, from seven times I had seven experiences during napping. While my body was falling asleep at several times I heard like several people were talking around me, they were making really bad jokes. One of the man told the others "what will happen if we fill a train tunnel with ice cream to the brim and put a train on the track with full speed", others started to laugh, for first time I couldn't maintain my focus and laughed out loud, damn :roll:

I have been wondering, and hoping this also.

I hope he checks in. ( soon ).

Hey there... I'm ok. Like you said, I just had a little scare. Things have been much better... SO ON WITH THE SHOW!  :-D

I detached from my body easily and struggled up to a standing position (I had been sleeping in my bean bag). In front of me was the most amazing astral suit! It looked like a space suit with helmet. I knew instinctively what to do and put it on. Somehow my astral knowledge was working again and I knew I was in luck! I donned the suit on and immediately felt the extra strength and abilities. I headed out of my room and outside. I opened my front door and was greeted by a nighttime neighborhood. My street was all dark except way down where I could see a well lighted building. I immediately set course. With my new suit it took me less than 5 seconds. Everything was so easy... it knew exactly what I wanted.

The building was luxurious with pink and yellow lights and a few trees in the front yard. I went inside. Inside where offices and what looked like lab rooms all behind glass walls. A woman with dark long straight hair saw me and came out of one of the rooms.

"So how do you like the new suit?" I told her it was very comfortable and very fast plus it makes me super lite. I asked if I could take a tour of the factory and she called over one of the head developers who took me through the building. Toward the back he showed me the next astral suit model they where working on. He pushed a button and this pod opened from the wall and the suit came out. I asked him how it all worked. He told me the inputs where pretty much direct - sun to sun, moon to moon... some stuff was beyond me.

"Ready for a higher elevation? Just press that button." I pressed an orange button on my suit's arm band and I was suddenly in another place. Well... it looked like an astral center. I was inside a building like a big mall but it was pleasing. It had like 10 levels. I floated down to the center floor where a nice garden was evident. Someone was sitting there next to a large display. As I passed him he spoke up to me and said, "Come back... and stand right there." There was some kind of astral camera pointed at me. As it captured my image the large display showed a giant modern complex surrounded by forests. It was pretty... and there was a giant four-legged robot protecting the complex. "Interesting," the guy said, "looks like you might be a 67."

I floated up to level 6 and walked down one of the long hallways. I saw a lot of astral stores. I saw a lady with a helmet on and some dood guiding her with some kind of goggles on his head. Maybe some kind of new hypnosis? I went into the next room which had a picture of a woman smelling a flower.

Inside was another man. "Sit down, sit down..." he said. I sat next to him and suddenly I smelled the most beautiful smell I have ever smelled. It was like flowers and wild jasmine. "Wow, you smell good." I asked if that was my astral scent and he concurred. I could also smell a cigar smell but it was coming from the guy. "And that's your smell?" I asked. "Afraid so... I smoke cigars and it gets into everything. Even the astral body."

I wandered around the astral mall. It wasn't crowded at all just a few people. I heard two people talking about food pills down on level 2. One said she had tried the KFC pill and it had overloaded her taste with yummi KFC chicken. "It was so good!" Lol.

I woke up soon after that, the end. :)

shineling,
alright!!  :-)

groovy dude  :lol:

I think there's something strange about the astral. The more time I hang out there the stranger I feel. It really is like an alien planet, or a parallel dimension. Whenever I go deep I always come back with the strangest taste in my mouth. Almost like my energy is vibrating at a different frequency than Earth does. It takes a few hours sometimes to get that feel off me. It's weird anyways.

Then, it's the people I meet in my travels. Some are just plain spooks. Been dead for so long they've camped out at some place out there and some aren't so pretty. Then there are the shiny people who have real nice healthy glows and attitudes. I can at least hang out with them and have a conversation. If it's a pretty girl it can get better real quick if you know how to charm them. Everyone's a lot more honest in the astral. If there's a connection it's quickly obvious. Probably it's because we're closer to our essential mes. So you say and do what you want and it comes out beautiful.

Then there are the Guardians, helpers, and collaborators. They are always around. They keep tabs on all their sheep. I know I have a few taking care of me. You just have to keep making inroads toward the Light and you'll find them. Never known them to be anything but helpful and friendly although sometimes a little distant like there's some professionalism about it. But they deal in Love and have instant and huge access to its essence. I got a Love shower once and it felt like it was raining pure laughter and happiness.

Then there are the scouts. Those are beings sent out from some place in the infinite astral to lure visitors to their domain. They're not that common but I've bumbed into them from time to time. They took me to really wild and strange places I never could of dreamed of.

Its so cool to be able to explore whole new worlds. There's so much to see and learn. And I know nothing.

Last night was really trippy. At some point I found myself lucid, traveling down a deserted dirt road with one male and two attractive females.

"Feel like making some headway?" asked one of the girls with flowers in her hair. I said I would and that I would protect her while on the journey. I wondered at my words. Some part of me knew exactly what was going on. I could tell she was the leader of our foursome. She smiled and kissed me passionately on the lips. I could tell this girl was a young goddess and that she and her friends were running from something or someone.

The male companion belonged to the other girl among us and together we traveled down the road with hippy back-packs on our backs. I wondered what personality persuasion had attracted me to this group. I began to ask my girl some questions as to what our journey was about.

"It's moving day again. U know how it is... we have to stay ahead of the meanies. Common Sergio, you remember," she said. I remembered then... yeah it was moving day. I looked down the road which we had traveled about a mile and could tell that it was darker behind us and brighter in front of us with a promise of hope.

More than anything I wanted to stop and have some time with my girl who kept her head down and kept striding forward. She was one of the most beautiful girls I have ever seen. The more I thought of her the more I remembered. We had done this many times before. This same group, these same people. They where my 'moving' group and perhaps the only thing that had kept us together was our destination. We were headed towards the Light looking for schools along the way where we could stop and learn the ways of love and light.

We stopped after awhile and brought out some fruit from our back-packs. It was juicy as I fed a guava looking fruit to my girl friend. She took a big bite and smied, juice runing down her face. We talked and I kissed her again passionately. She smiled and said, "Not here."

A bird was signing down to us. We all looked up. It wasn't a bird it was a magic moth. A big one. It was absolutely beautiful with big haunting eyes on it's wings.

"It's time to keep moving," said she and got up from the cozy grass. We packed up our belogings and were back on the road with our moth showing the way Home.

Very insightful Shineling. I smell progress.

Thanks Nameless.  :-) I'm learning little by little and changing too. I don't know where it's all going but I hope to find out someday.  :-P

This isn't really an AP report... more of observations.

Right now, I'm really trying to get more control of my APs. Every time I think I have something figured out I learn something that changes my mind.

Whenever I try to exert my lucid logical mind while APing I find that all these symbols from my dreams appear. It's as if applying my waking mind to the AP makes the dream respond just as forcefully in its own way. Which makes me think all my APs might be dream orientated.

Then whenever I have the thought of reality being just a dream I have seen 71s appear and the message that reality is not real. 71NR. Anyway, it feels sometimes that reality could be just a dream. We might only be minds in hyperspace!  :-D

Exactly! I've begun to say 'this is what I think today' lol. Because who knows what I'll think tomorrow.

I noticed I was lucid and asleep so I performed an exit. At this point I was deep enough into the trance to leave no body behind - I just got up and went outside. It was nighttime like in the real world. I could see stars and some puffy clouds. I saw a house with a light on and headed toward it. It was kinda far away so I tried to fly there. I went too high however and I got lost in the sky. It was dark and I went into limbo for a second. Then I saw a cross in the ground. It was made of lights. Then I noticed it was the lights of an airport.

I could now see passenger jets and I remembered that there was indeed an airport nearby. I landed and explored the airport which was full of people. I quickly got out of there and tried to fly back to my neighborhood. I landed in a dark street with a few lights on. I chose the nearest house with a light and went in. Inside where four people sitting around in the living room. One was a really pretty girl so I went up to her and asked, "You want to show me your room?" She knew instantly what I was talking about and took my hand and stood up.

Hand in hand she led me toward the back of the house where she stopped at a blank wall and started touching the wall at the level where there should be a knob. Suddenly there was a knob. Suddenly there was a door and she opened it and we went inside.

Inside was a small room. It was so cozy like a little nook full of trinkets. In the adjoining room was a round plush bed with a fur blanket. We started kissing then and she tasted normally.  Maybe even a little sweet. Sometimes you get an awful taste and that sorta warns you off some astral women.

This girl was sweet and warm and loving. It felt really good to be with someone astral healthy.

I had a fun night... I've decided that you can't really delete the sexual aspect of the universe. It happens and it just opens up another way to learn and love.

The end.

Something interesting happened the last three nights. I got out of body and went outside. It was daytime and my sidewalk looked like a busy street. There where lots people walking back and forth. This is the first time though I spotted an authority. There where two of them and they had uniforms and looked exactly like security. I went right by them and they looked friendly but attentive to all that was going on.

Then last night I AP again and it's night time and the whole street has security cars with their lights on. I tried to see what was going on and saw like this security team pulling this dark cloud of fuzzy energy out of a house. There where three men in black pushing this cloud into a van. I must of woken right after I saw that.

I wonder what that was all about...?

Last night was an a-m-a-z-i-n-g astral projection. I found myself lucid in the most beautiful house I have ever lived in. I knew I was in the astral or some type of Heaven because everything looked so beautiful. The colors and things just stood out and the spaces themselves almost shone with light.

I found myself in this dream or AP and the astral voice told me that this is where I would most likely spend my time after death. I prayed to God right then and there if I could just stay here now and forever - that I didn't have to go back to Earth. It didn't work because I am typing this message... but the house was so beautiful that I never wanted to leave. My room was gigantic and had two levels. The house itself has about 6 stories to it. My Mom and Dad lived there with me too. As I explored the house I saw that they where having a party along with all the neighbors. They all came over and gave me big genuine hugs and I felt so loved. I really wonder where this magical house is? Things I wanted seemed to appear out of nowhere just for my convenience. Toys, candy, games. It was truly a modern magical house.

I must of spent hours in my house just playing and wandering around. Almost like rediscovering my old place of venue. Not a dull moment went by. The second I was done doing something, something just as marvelous would present itself. It was truly a nexus, a real Heaven.

After exploring my house which seemed oddly familiar to me... I went and found my Mom. I explained to her that I have this life far far away in another planet called Earth. For the first time things started going awry. She got mad and said "We don't talk about those things darling." And then she seemed to go back to her own LaLa world.

I never wanted to leave. But eventually I found myself back in my bed on old planet Earth. How real it had seemed and familiar. Almost like at this very moment I am there with my magical familiy in my magical house. I can see where the term multi-dimensional might be used. I exist there in my own Heaven but for now... I also exist here on Earth. I can't wait to go back to my House tho!

Last night I had one of those super lucid dreams. I was myself but at the same time I was my dreamer self. I can see that they are different - there's the small me and the big super dreamer me. They are both I but my dreamer knows crazy things about the universe. Things my little me finds hard to understand. Both sides are the self but they are like two modes to my soul.

Last night I was both of them. I dreamed that Levar Burton (Geordi on Star Trek) came to me and asked if I could spearhead a new Star Trek show with him. My dreamer self told him he had a great idea about a child who was the Sun. Whatever happened to this child happened to the Sun. And whatever happened to the Sun happened to the child. The boy was the Sun and the Sun was the boy. But something went wrong and Geordi said he wouldn't help in making that kind of show because if there was a Sun child it would mean the boy was special and that made him jealous.

Then something happened and I was granted the funding by a higher source to create this new Star Trek show.

The next part was me putting this Star Trek show together. I picked a crew and I created their spaceship. The spaceship's bridge was a quarter mile square of aqua blue pool of water like a lagoon. There where these spikes of water in the pool that each held an orb at its point. They moved in crazy patterns. Up above on a cliff was the center of the Bridge where the controls where input by the crew. Looked like the control center at NASA just super modern  with jazzed up displays.

We started shooting the first show and in this one we explored the big Bridge which would take our ship otherworld into the multiverses. It was super neato exploring this new Bridge type. The order was there and it seems so crazy to my ordinary mind.

It ended by someone falling off a cliff and needing to be taken to the infirmary. The Bridge of our othership could be hazardous to explore. So the crew learned that they had to be careful.

The End

Cool LD Shineling, I'd watch that show :-D

Interesting, do you remember everything that the super dreamer experienced after waking up ? I've had something similar happen where I get this moment of clarity about a subject, where it all makes sense and seems so logical, but after waking up that part of the dream is completely blanked out.

Hi Bob, that sounds similar to what I've experienced. Sometimes I find myself doing things that make total sense in the dream world but when I later reflect on it it just makes no sense. Yeah, sometimes those memories of my super dreamer are completely missing. All I do remember is that at the time I knew exactly what I was doing but on waking my actions make no sense.

I do believe these experiences make sense. It's just that my little me has no reference points to understand what that order is. If I could remember what my dreamer was doing I know it would probably make sense. I just think they are just more complicated orders that are hard to understand in the waking world. In the light of dreaming though these orders would make sense again.

Maybe these experiences can only be understood when you're a dreamer? Hmm....

I've been having some trouble exiting lately. I would get out of body but would jolt back to my body after a few seconds. This happened for like three nights in a row. Finally last night I had a clean exit.

I exited my body after watching myself fall asleep. When I could move my astral body I separated. I did not exit in my regular room. It was my old room at my old house. It was so weird seeing my old room and house. I went out of the room and went outside. It was snowing just like those beautiful Michigan winters I remember. I crossed the road and went across the street to a house to see if I could find something interesting.

The door to the house was open so I went inside. Inside was a living room and toward the back was a spiral staircase that went up and up and up. I followed it all the way up until at the top it ended in a little nook that had cushions and a large television. I sat down to watch tv and they where showing an hotel ad for this really luxurious hotel. I got really into it because this hotel was gorgeous. They showed the main entrance and suddenly it was me going into the hotel and I was walking into the main lobby.

I was greeted like a special guest by this pretty girl in uniform and given a key, then escorted to my room. I remember exploring my room and it was beautiful. I then took the elevator to the floor where they had a pool and sauna. The pool was cool but at the back they had this really special jacuzzi. It was on an elevated pedestal and instead of water it had a liquid with these dark spiderweb patterns in it. I was curious so I got in.

The spiderwebs sorta latched unto my body and it felt amazing! I started having these amazing states of concioussness I can hardly describe. It was like a concioussness entertainment system. I must of spent awhile going from state to state until I heard someone say, "Hey, it's my turn! You've been in there long enough." I saw some girl standing there so I got out and went back to my room. I think I woke up soon after that.

What a cool jacuzzi!

The end.

Last night I APed and it was a little scary. I exited and went outside like normal.  Usually there are lights on at least one house but this time the whole street was dark. I flew up into the air to get a better view and the whole neighborhood was dark. I landed and took stock. What would happen if I went into a dark house?  :?

I landed and approached the nearest house across the street. I was going to explore a dark house. I reached for the knob of the front door and opened it. Right in front of me is this girl dressed in pajamas and she looks at me with this far off look. I kissed her on the cheek and instantly woke up.

I wonder what else is in a dark house...

This was a lucid dream at the beach. I must have been walking down the white sandy beach when I see someone walking toward me. The moment I recognized him I became fully lucid. It was my dead father of 6 years now. He gave me a huge hug and asked me how I was doing. I told him I really missed him and that it's been awhile since I last seen him. He motioned me in a direction away from the ocean toward this big house on the beach. He looked like he was 30 years younger - healthy.

As we were walking toward his house some people were coming out of the ocean on a small fishing boat. My Dad goes over to them and asks, "Did you catch anything?" "Sure thing!" says a woman and we look inside the boat and here is a giant tuna fish. My father offers to cook it up for them and so we make our way toward the beach house which is really a restaurant. My Dad's dream was to run a restaurant. He used to run one when he was alive for awhile.

So I check out the house/restaurant and there's the living quarters on top of the restaurant. One of the rooms is my own room from my old house. It was like I was home except my house had been converted to a beach house. I hear my Dad calling from downstairs so I go down and he's serving everyone some cooked up fish with rice and salad. He hands me a plate and I go sit down at a booth. This girl sits down right after me with her plate. I ask her name and she says Vanessa Cole. Then she smiles and says, "Vanessa Cool."

The food was delicious and I got to see my Dad one more time to say goodbye. I gave him a big hug and told him not to be a stranger. I also remember saying that I was so glad he was doing so well.

I think I made myself wake up after that by just wishing it.

It was cool to see my Dad again. I just hope the astral is really like that and we get to spend our time with the people we love.

The End

Hi shineling. This is sweet- and Vanessa made me laugh. I think there's something more to it. One time I dreamt I got to talk to Mom and Dad. I wonder if this was a pre-birth memory... Mom and Dad are still alive... But like you it was along a beach and I saw them in their prime. Dad was jogging and Mom was walking. I was jogging next to Dad asking him questions... To my surprise- just recently my Dad found an old photo of him and mom at the beach hugging and smiling. They looked just as I dreamt. They were very happy then. I think it is real, and I'm glad your Dad is happy too.

That's pretty cool.  :-)

I think we usually have these type of dreams but we're not that lucid when we go through them. Sometimes though we might wake up and get more involved. I think dreams are supposed to be enjoyed so if we're lucid we can enjoy them even more maybe.

Still, I hope this is a taste of the reality we can expect when the day comes.  :-)

Last night was interesting. It was another of those dreams where I'm lucid but my super dreamer at the same time. After exiting into my room I knew I had a tour at one of the astral schools. I went outside and take the bus which was waiting for me to the school. I know exactly all the spots which are on my list and so I spend my time visiting the campus which were a series of buildings throughout this beautiful city. The streets where sunny and had lots of trees. I would stop at a building and some force would guide me yet I never heard a voice. I greeted other students in the middle of their projects. They looked super busy but were kind enough to explain what specific task they where working on. To me, now awake, it seemed they where doing something like creating software or videogames but with the astral. Trying to crack some algorithm or something.

The whole ordeal ended by me signing up for some astral classes at Admissions.

The end.

I've read this whole thread from beginning to end. These experiences are fascinating! Thank you for sharing your experiences here. Super cool!

Are most of your experiences done through following the guiding force? Or do you ever try going in a different direction?

Also, have you ever tried exploring the dark/scary areas? Or is this not recommended? I've read in LD books that embracing the shadow can be a good thing, but I'm not sure if APs are similar. I assume a big part of these experiences are about mastering fear and opening your mind.

But I'm also a newbie to this vast otherworld, so excuse my lack of understanding. :)

Thanks PS!  :-)

I guess it depends on your definition of the guiding force. To me it's a force that protects me and guides me to better understanding. I am often getting messages from this force. I think it just takes an imagination and being open minded to understand the messages.

Yeah, I've been in some really dark places. I've also been attacked a few times. I find however if you confront the negative forces they will transform into something positive. This included having more confidence in yourself and your ability to confront the darkness. Sometimes, yeah, I think they are just like tests the spirit gives us. But I know that if I point my beak towards the sky and keep seeking the Light, I'll probably be ok.

Thanks for reading all my stories.  :-)

This is more observations.

I find that I cannot hold on to it. It just slips right through my hands and it seems so fast because there is so much interesting. The astral is a marvelous place that for me has so much to do with the individual. Like for example, I found a new part of myself when I started Aping. He's like my dreamer and he is me just on another soul level. He knows the astral intimately and is always taking me to new places in this deep story which is the soul. It's very interesting to me finding out that I am part of this never ending story which is life and astral.

I find myself asking questions like what if the stories are true and we can escape reality by slipping into the crack that goes to the astral? Sounds like a great adventure.  :-)

I feel many of our ap adventures are on virtual level but the stories, the lives we find ourselves involved I also feel are true. So saying that it is easy to see how/why we immerse ourselves here in this physical reality. Without physicality there are lessons we could never learn. The trick is to LIVE this immersive physical reality gaining everything we can from it so when it ends we can better understand where we find ourselves in what awaits us which may not have a physical component.

You've made huge strides shineling with some great observations.

Thanks Nameless, that's interesting. What you wrote makes sense if we value both the astral and the waking life. Perhaps they are two sides of a coin. One balances the other. I can't imagine giving up my astral life - its mystery and phenomenal joys. I should say that my waking life is just as valuable but to be honest if there was a way I could escape the physical mundane world while still healthy I might just do so. It reminds me of what Castaneda wrote... Don Juan was able to escape with his chosen after a long life of religiously saving their energy. If I recall correctly they jumped off a cliff and where never seen again. A feat like that well.. to me it's Glory.  :-)

Thanks for answering... cya around the forum.  :-P

I dreamt of a place where you are drawn to whenever you want to go into the astral and have fun. It's called the Crossroads and there are heavenly games and darker more dangerous games. I wandered around and decided weather to go see the Heaven games or the darker games... games that were made for darker aspects. I found some interesting games below. One, they try to rip off your energy by showing you the grossest astral images. It was like a haunted house ride where they really want to suck your blood. Lol. I allowed it to develop because I wanted to learn something new. Even as I was being tricked into leaking a pint of energy or two I knew I had to experience it to see if it was real. Whatever was on that ride was gross but was supposed to feel super good. The scary thing is I think it does work on some level to the untrained and undisciplined mind.  Most was super sexual and other stuff was just gross. All the while there's some vampire process going on as you go.

Anyway, I got out of there and tried to find a higher more Heavenly plane. For me, I just can't believe people actually could do that... create these terrible games in the astral where they try to take your vital forces. Remind me never to go there again. :)

I entered Heaven and saw that they were giving away Tolkien chocolates in one street corner. I ate two and dreamt I was Gandalf.

I had a lucid dream where I was the head of a big software company. We were in a meeting when "Linda" runs in and screams: "We've been hacked! All the servers are going down!" We all rush out of the meeting room and I head to my office. On my computer screen I can see the virus taking over our computers. It hits the main server and I start feeling dizzy and then my limbs won't work and I go down. At the same time there is this guy in my head laughing and laughing.

The next thing I see is this old wooden printer. It was like a modern computer printer but all stylized and made of wood. There is a long roll of paper coming out of it with stylized fonts. The camera zooms in and it's a list of names - dead people names. One of the names is mine. I see it come out of the printer and roll down as more names are printed out. It was very eerie especially because in the background is this sound. The sound is of a panting woman rushing down some stairs in high heels. You can tell she is running from something and she is scared and all you hear is the clop-clop of her high-heeled shoes in panic going down risky steps in a run.

I catch a last look at my name before it fades into darkness as the paper disappears into oblivion. Just before it disappears I see a hand of someone with white sleeves reach out and grab the name with his fingers. It comes off the paper like a sticker.

The next thing, I am waking up back into the dream where I am at my software company. I have no control of my body. I am just the eyes looking out. I see myself get up and my body goes over to my desk and opens up a file cabinet. There are some disks there and one is labeled "Antivirus 2714". I see myself put in the disk into the drive and I open up a window and execute a file. Suddenly I see this graphic of my servers coming back online. The whole system is restored and suddenly I'm back in my body.

Linda walks into my office and says, "We're back up! What did you do??" I say, "I just used my antivirus 2714."

Wow! That was a weird dream...

The End.

Last night I was easily able to separate from the physical. I entered a trance right after falling asleep and exited cleanly. As usual, I went outside and behold! There is a river flowing down the street and the day looks muggy. I see my exgirlfriend flow down the river and I see she's in trouble trying to keep her head above water. I have to decide for awhile and then something takes over and I'm in the water going after her.

Somehow I catch up with her and our presence together seems to calm the river down and we look at each other mystified. Then she has this green light flash her and she stars rising out of the water. She walks on the water and makes it to land. I follow after her easily making my way out. Together we take off to the hills.

We cross a desert to a town of a few people. My exgirlfriend has all of them enchanted and awestruck with her beauty. Indeed she was a Goddess which I had stumbled upon. I gave her room to expand with my powers protecting her and keeping her safe. In return she would give me a kiss which was the sweetest nectar of passion that I knew only true Love could surpass. But this she kept from me and her secret heart flew to the Unknowns.

We made it to the big city where she was the talk of the town. Soon they crowned her their new queen and somehow... I was King. I was a King! I understood more of this Design a little more.

I woke up refreshed knowing I had seen the Goddess inside my girlfriend. I am awestruck at her beauty.

The end

That's really good shineling to be able to the goddess despite your present and past feelings.

Thanks Nameless.  :-)

Yeah, I was soar for a long time. But dreams like that helped me recondition my feelings. Now when I remember, I remember the good.  :-) Oh well...

shineling,

I always enjoy reading your experiences!  AP'ing seems to be very natural for you.  I was wondering about your processing afterwards?  Do you try and do any type of interpretation of what you experienced and/or why you experienced it?  Or do you just accept the experience and let go?

Keep on Posting!

Cheers,
T

Thank you very much T-Man. It's always nice to get some encouragement!

Well, after I wake up from a good AP I usually write it down so I won't forget. I try to interpret the dreams but I'll be the first to admit that it's not my best talent. Reading back on my old material sometimes it's like "Ohhh!" now I understand! Lol.

Yeah, I've gotten very good at exiting. But it did take me 30 years of practice to achieve it. I feel bad I can't explain it better... but pretty much all I do is save a little piece of my awareness before I go to sleep. I sorta keep it awake. And then when I'm asleep enough I can just separate. I don't leave a body behind anymore nor do I experience paralysis. I just find myself in the astral and off I go!

Thanks again for your kind words. I plan to keep on writing and posting if it's alright with everyone.

Bye!

I like posting APs more than dreams but last night I had an interesting dream I want to write down. So here goes...

It was about an Indian family from India. There was a father, a mother, and a single son. I felt I was playing the part of the son because as the story was being told I could feel his emotions.

Well, we weren't the richest people. We rented a small apartment and didn't have a car. But we were very religious and austere. Our religion was what kept our little family together. It's also what kept us apart. The son loved his parents very much but for some reason their religion got in the way of hugging and kissing and signs of affection. It really made him sad that he couldn't express these feelings. I think it was the father who kept it that way because of his religion.

Anyway, years went by and I grew up (the son) and my parent separated and I was going to go to school on my own for the first time. I was at the bus station with my father and it was so painful. The boy wanted to hug his father goodbye but it "wasn't allowed". We said goodbye and didn't even shake hands and this left me feeling so lonely.

At the end of the dream... the boy stops going to school and makes a visit to his mother who is a teacher of archeology at this point. He cries and cries as he finally allows himself to give his mother a hug.

I don't know why I had this dream. Me and my family are very affectionate. We hug all the time. Maybe it was a past life or something I picked up from the astral. Anyway, I learned that affection is a basic human need. You shouldn't let anything get in the way of expressing Love. Maybe it's even more basic than that... hug someone.

:-)

The end

You got to experience how the lack of allowing emotions creates pain. This can help you relate to others who do not have such an open relationship as you.  All emotions are necessary and very valid.

Hugs

That's a good point Nameless. And thanks! Hugs for everyone!  :-P

 I always say to people "put yourself in the other person's shoes". By doing this, you get to see things from both sides. Many times, doing that, you get to see how fortunate you really are. It also is very helpful in stressful conversations and disputes! It gives you a whole new understanding of the situation at hand.  Many of our non-physical experiences seem to be "living and being in another person's shoes".  It leads to whole new level of seeing the World in unique and interesting ways.

Last night, my Dream experiences kept ending in an alarm clock going off. I would awaken for real and see that it wasn't my alarm that I was hearing. Somebody was really messing me. As it is, I have to awaken every two hours to give my wife her meds. I don't need to be stirred awake more than that. But I guess, someone thought I did, at least they did last night. The sound was definitely an alarm clock beeping of sorts, but it wasn't the sound my real alarm in my room makes. It duped me at least 4 times last night!  
:-P

Last night I felt like APing after a few days of just going to sleep. I lay down and spent a few moments programming myself for an exit. Then I let go and fell asleep. After a few minutes I went into a trance and found myself floating out of my body and lucid.

I headed out of my room and went outside. My Mom was outside looking at the stars. I was a little surprised to find her in my AP.  When this happens I usually ignore her because I cannot be totally sure she's my Mom or a dream entity. It just makes me uncomfortable for some reason. I lifted off into the night sky leaving my Mom behind and flew down the street.

I decided to check out the "party house" first. It's this house at the end of the street where I can usually find some girls to party with. I usually find something going on in there. I saw that the lights were on so I landed and headed in. It was deserted and it did not look as usual. Someone had changed the decor. I found a long hallway with lots of doors. Outside one door was a pink light so I went in. Inside I found a cute girl waiting for me. I introduced myself and she was super friendly and we ended up kissing for awhile but not much more. I left and exited the house.

I ended up exploring much more. I found myself in a park with a large pool in the center. I had been lucid for so long I got a little worried about my physical body for some reason. I knew if I dove into the water the shock would probably wake me. So that's what I did... I dove into the water and woke up back at home.

I have a lot of these type of APs... where I exit and just explore. I try posting the most interesting APs/dreams but it's always a pleasure to get out of body and just go exploring! There is so much to see and things in the astral have a special look to them like if you were seeing with extra sensory vision. I also try to keep my eyes open for any special people I might want to meet. Astral people can also be very interesting! Hehe.

The end

Keep posting Shineling! I like reading your adventures!

Lumaza's experience reminded my of my recent (second) lucid dream experience. I was in the hypnogogic state for a long time and for some reason I was trying to do a handstand in my thoughts. When I would fall, I would try again and again. After awhile, everytime I did it a part of the experience would get a bit more real. Like my hands on the ground, I would look at all the detail in the ground and then when I tried lifting my legs up for the stand I could all of a sudden feel the movement in my legs like I was actually doing it. And then I fell on my back and could feel the falling sensation. Trippy!

When I got up, the scene was built out. I was standing on a driveway on a country road and knew I was in a dream. (This must have been a Wake Induced Lucid Dream) I tried a reality check that didn't really do anything and started to get bored as I didn't know what to do so I decided to fly (first thought that came to my mind for some reason). I flew really fast up towards the clouds and it felt so real it scared the crap out of me and the dream ended.

That probably tops my experiences so far. Hearing about these experiences is one thing, but actually getting first hand experience is quite intense! It's really cool!! You guys inspire me haha!

Hey Lumaza, you mentioned hearing phantom sounds? Funny aren't they? Just woke up to a funny sucking sound that belonged more in a Harry Potter movie. After checking around I could find nothing responsible... What the heck?

PerspectiveShift, that country road sounds beautiful and trippy. I've been to some beautiful places that just reaffirms the astral as its own real world and place. Keep on flying!  :-)

Two lucid experiences to report today. The first happened 2 days ago. The second last night.

I exited but I was in my old house - the one I had grown up in when I was a teenager. I slept in the basement in my own room. Well, after I climbed out of my bed I felt wonderful. Like really being Home. That's when I heard a scream from a woman outside my room. I went out of the room and saw that 3 people were in my basement and they were watching television. It looked like a horror movie. At this point I don't think my discriminating mind was working fully because I got mad and confronted the 3 people. "What are you doing in my house? Get out or I'll call the police!" I looked around and there where like 10 more people in the room. They put on the stereo and where dancing and making so much noise. I got on the phone and called the police. They arrived and kicked everyone out of my house. The last thing I remember was going back to sleep in my cozy bed in the basement. That Home feeling had returned. Ahh...

Then last night I exited in my current house and went outside. It was nighttime and there where long cirrus clouds in a starry sky. I flew up high in the air and headed east toward the coast. I flew over a big hill but instead of the open sea there was a huge lit city with beautiful skyscrapers and bridges and sparkly waterways that reflected all the lights. I was awestruck at the beauty of this city and I remembered that I have been here a few times. There's some places in the astral that I keep visiting. I've been in this city like 3 times now. I flew down where the movie theater was, landed, and went inside. It's a magnificent theater and it looked very familiar. I have been here 3 times before I remembered. I went into one of the movies and stood in the back for awhile to see what they where playing. All I remember is seeing an image of a couple drinking aqua blue wine on a high terrace apartment over the city. The guy was wiping away the girl's tears with a light green handkerchief and she was smiling. He was saying, "Everything is going to be ok." That's all I saw... I headed out of the movie and climbed some stairs and then went out a window. I flew but I was SO high. I could see the city below and the sun was rising and I could see a bridge. The colors of the sky where so vivid and I got paranoid because I was so high up in the sky. The sun was half out of the water and it looked like an orange orb. It was breathtaking. I straightened out and just flew.

The End :)

I went to sleep and tranced myself and was soon able to slip out of body. It wasn't my ordinary room but my room at my father's farm. I was alone - for now. I saw that my computer was hooked up on my desk and I went over to it to play with it. I work on a video game in real life and it was all there but in living color. I played on my computer for awhile until I heard someone say, "What you working on?" I jumped. I looked over and there where 3 people in the room staring at me. I totally felt weirded out and left the room. They followed me. I ran out toward the orange groves and as I looked back there where 20 people running after me. A girl was screaming something at me that I didn't understand. In front of me appeared a wall of glass. And there was a door. I went through the glass and found another door. This door was wooden and it wasn't attached to any walls. It was just sitting there in space. I opened it and went in.

As soon as I was on the other side I closed the door. I looked about and I was inside a small house. It looked homey and I felt safer. I looked around and it had a nice bed and entertainment system with a beanbag just like at home. I looked outside the window and it was a beautiful spring day. It looked like I was in a nice neighborhood because I saw a backyard and a house beyond.

I fell into the beanbag and turned on the television to see what astral tv would look like. Some cool Star Trek show started playing and I started really dreaming... I don't remember much after that except I felt like I was home.

The end

So last night I AP and as I get off the bed I see something run after me! Apparently there was a cat on the bed with me. I looked down and there is my dead cat Indy from 20 years ago! I started petting him and he instantly started purring. I was so happy to see him and to know that he had been protecting my sleep without me knowing all this time. It really was him... I woke up and I was so happy I had little tears going. Awww... my kitty. :)

I became lucid inside a new home I'd never been in. I was especially lucid and had full access to my astral self. You know, that special being with astral knowledge. I found my room and immediately got to work on my app. I sat down at my desk and there where two tablets there. Somehow I could input astral thoughts into them. I knew what I was doing and it was fascinating. It was like inputting code into a computer but the screens remained blank. Yet, I was working at lightning speed with a vast experience of knowledge in creating astral programs.

I finished my astral app and got ready for the party where I would unveil it to the community. I called up my friend and we headed to the astral showers to get ready for our big date. When we got there I realized that the astral showers where like another app. It had been created by a similar process as to what I had been doing. Me and my friend went up to the scanner and it scanned us and then recommended the proper shampoo and soap. There was a guy there taking care of the shower app. He kept tying to read my thoughts but was pretty much a nice guy.

After we were clean we headed out to the party where I would unveil my app. We arrived at this place that looked like a dance hall. Mostly everyone there was a girl. We set up and the first girls made a line to be the first to use my app. I gave my tablet to the girl and asked her to imagine the feeling of being on the perfect date. In a few seconds a beautiful dress replaced her clothes. She was so happy to have her perfect dress. So that's what my app did... it scanned her and made the perfect dress for her to wear on a date.

Many girls came up and used my app and I was congratulated on a great job. People where making copies of the app on their tablets or these little eggs people had. One girl came up to me and asked me if I wanted to go on a date with her. She had on one of my stunning dresses. I said yes and we left for a night on the town.

It was an interesting AP... but what interested me the most was that I had these skills to create astral apps. I knew exactly what I was doing and it really made me happy while I was creating. I think the astral is full of these astral apps. There's schools for them even to learn how to make astral apps. Maybe on some planes creating astral apps is a cool thing and kinda important to the functioning of reality.

The end

Is really nice reading your Adventures and Experiences in the Astral Realms, shineling.

I'm always looking forward to reading them in this Topic in Astral Pulse.

I hope you can share with us more of them more often (please do); this days, this is basically the Topic I'm following and checking everyday looking forward to reading and learning about your experiences.

I send you my best regards and wishes.

With respect and appreciation.

PhaPriSpa.

:)

Thanks PhaPriSpa! I'm glad someone is reading my posts. :) I try to post my best APs. Sometimes I get duds. But I'll try to keep updating the thread on a regular basis.

Also, I've started writing a new book about my travels so I'll make sure to let you all know when it's ready. I self publish.

Thanks again for the nice words! :D It means a lot.

I was falling asleep,and felt like it was enough so I attempted a separation. I had to force it a little but I detached, fell out of bed, and found myself on the floor. It's very important you don't flip out or rush at this point or you'll wake up. So I gently got off the floor (which was awkward) and was finally able to make it outside.

As I open the door I realize my Mom is calling me. She must of heard the door open. "Is that you honey? Where are you going?" I say, "I am going out - I'm APing! Come and look!" I go outside to the driveway and in a few moments see her come to the door. "Watch this Mom!" And I lift myself off the floor and start flying down the street. "I'll be back soon! Cya!"

The night was dark but some houses had lights on. I choose one with their lights on, land, and go inside. I see a man there but I think he can't see me. He's watching football and I think he's dreaming. His son walks though the door and they start talking. I still think they can't see me so I check out the rest of the house. In one room upstairs is a cute blond girl on her bed. She's reading a book on her back. I don't want to wake her up so I gently gently kiss her. She finally notices me and we start kissing in vigor. She seems kind of sad so we talk about some of her problems. Then she turns into a little cat and  buries herself in the blanket. I go downstairs and exit the house. The man and son are still watching football.

I lift into the sky and notice there's a little more light in the sky. I go across the street which is suddenly this weird compound and meet this African family. I talk to the daughter awhile and then she tells me her Dad wants me to leave so I do. I ask her where they are from, and she says Zimbabwe. Wow.

I make it back to my neighborhood and it's looking like a beautiful sky blue Fall day. The trees are all kinds of color. I go way up high,   and can see all my haunts. I see that Durabones is on her hammock so I go to say hi. She's this cute blond that lives in my astral neighborhood. Sometimes she's on this hammock by a field and sometimes she brings friends there.

We greet like old friends and start talking about all kinds of things. Soon one of her boyfriends joins us and we start showing each other pictures from our lives. She's in high school and she shows me pics of herself at the school. We went on like that for like 30 minutes. A girlfriend of her joins us after that. Then we made 3-wheeled motorcycles and a buggy. Durabones and her girl friend got in the buggy and we hitched it up to a motorcycle. I got on the cycle and the other dood got on his and we just rode! I woke up right after that.

That was fun! :)

The end

This was an unusual AP because it took place in a state I am unfamiliar with. I became lucid inside some kind of sphere. There was blue light everywhere and there was someone there with me. I don't exactly remember his words just that he was there to help me on this journey. The person pointed toward the center of the sphere where there was another sphere in blue light. We went deeper and deeper into the sphere finding smaller and smaller spheres as we got closer to the center.

I don't know how many spheres we crossed but me and my guide made it into the very center. There was final sphere here about the size of my fist. My guide said to grab the sphere and hold on as long as I could. I took the small sphere in both hands and at first it was awkward - it kept trying to slide out from my grip. The more I stopped trying to fight it the more control I got. Finally I was able to hold unto the sphere of light but only for a few moments. It overwhelmed me with awareness - a special kind of awareness. It was like I was at the center of my very being. The more I played with the center sphere I realized that the only reason it resisted me was because I had some internal hangups about accepting who I was. The more I accepted the more the sphere and me melded together.

I remember at the end I accepted myself fully and the sphere went into my heart.

And I wonder who that guide was... he seemed faceless only like a silhouette.

Anyway, not my typical AP.

The End

I went lucid sometime during the night. The next thing I know is that I am driving down a dark country road in my old car from high-school, one of my first cars, a white crown victoria. Somehow I am in the midst of a thinking process... I know that my exgirlfriend is coming down the sidewalk in a bicycle in about 5 minutes. I pull over under a tree and there's shadows of the moon on the ground. I smoke a cigarette and lean on my car as I wait for my girl to appear.

Then I see her coming up the sidewalk in a white and pink bicycle.  She is startled at first by the surprise. We talk and at first she's reluctant but eventually gets in my car. We go to the city and have some fun eventually ending up on a talk show about freedom and the problems depending on systems. We argued that if it could all be lived in the moment there wouldn't be a need for depending on systems. Some of the judges argued we needed systems while some said life could be lived in the moment. Someone said we were just describing the mandala principle with one side being enlightenment and the other ignorance. "Ying-yang!" someone screamed. Lol.

Then we drifted from each other (me and my girlfriend) and she went her ways and I went mine. The last time I saw her she had hooked up with a guy who was rubbing her feet. I gave up on her after that and went my way.

I remember leaving the city - a mega astral city after exploring it awhile. People just sorta would loose themselves going from one dream to another commingling with each other and giving each other pleasure of some sort. I couldn't do it for long, it was almost like a trance. I left and headed for the highlands.

I've been exploring the nature of my astral world by exploring my neighborhood. Last night for example I APed and went across the street. The door was open and so I went inside. Inside are three kids hanging out in the living room. They were chatting amongst themselves. I wanted to test if they could see me so I moved in front of them. I waved my hands in front of them and they acted like they couldn't see me.

Does this mean when I AP I am like a ghost? Are these people in the astral dreaming or are they people in the real world who are awake and I am accessing the real world like a phantasm?

I went up the stairs and found a woman laying on her bed talking to her husband. I walked into the room and they had no clue I was there. I sat down on the side of their bed and listened in on their conversation. It seemed like ordinary chit chat from their day.

I wondered what was in the rest of the house so I went into the last two rooms. Bingo! A pretty girl was in one of them laying down on her bed. She was writing something. She didn't seem to notice me so I went up to her and kissed her on the mouth. As usual when I do this they sorta "wake up" and can see me for the first time. She started kissing back which is a typical reaction when I do this.

I still have many questions about these astral characters. Who are they? The people I saw aren't the ones that live in that house in the real world. And why can't they see me until I touch them? And why are they so easy to make them kiss me back? Maybe they are dreaming or are some kind of phantoms.

I also remember another AP where I went to one of these girls and asked if she could see me. She did not respond until I kissed her and then she said "of course I can see you." So maybe they can see me and are just choosing to ignore me. Why would they ignore me?

Many questions have I... the astral is a weird place. At least my neighborhood is. :-)

I had this dream a few nights ago and it's stuck with me. The dream was like a story... some kind of drama. Apparently, the Governments of the Higher Planes had decided that the Earth was spiritually ready to appoint an official Earth astral government or representation. This would be Earth's official presence on the Higher Planes.

The first thing to do was to broadcast the Intention.  This was the call for all of the spiritually enlightened people on Earth to come together and form the first astral government.

The response was overwhelming! There were so many spiritually enlightened people on Earth and they all came together to form the first astral government. It was an amazing sight to see! They all had different backgrounds and beliefs, but they all came together for the common good.

They worked tirelessly to create a fair and just astral society that would benefit all of humanity. They were determined to make a difference in this world.

But then something happened... it was almost like the existence of the astral government polarized positive energies vs negative energies. They realized all the Negative Karma they still had.

The astral government was a beacon of light in a world full of darkness. It was a symbol of hope and change. And that's what the negative energies didn't like. They were threatened by the astral government and all that it stood for.

So, the negatives did what they do best... they started to spread lies and misinformation about the astral government. They tried to discredit it and turn the people against it saying astral Life was dark magic and witchcraft.

But the astral government was strong. It withstood the attacks and continued to serve the people. And the people continued to support it. They knew that the astral government was for the good of all.

Eventually, the negative energies gave up. They realized that they couldn't defeat the astral government. It was too strong and too loved by the people. Because it was helping All people. More and more people were Turning On and becoming Enlightened!

The astral government stood strong from that day, serving the people and making a difference in the world. Earth was welcomed as a proponent of the Higher Planes and massive enlightened and positive energies began to flow. Eventually Earth ascended into the higher cosmos...

The End

shineling,

I have many of these dream like stories that take place.  Yours was very interesting and inspiring and hope these are signs of things to come for humanity. 

I was thinking that this would make for a great movie and than it reminded me of the movie Doctor Strange.  I'm sure you have seen it.  It was a struggle for Good vs Evil on the Astral planes. 

Cheers,
T  :-)

Hey T-Man,

Thanks for stopping by! Yeah, these kind of dreams are always interesting. Sometimes they have nothing to do with me... they are just like visions that tell
a story. I have seen that movie. Loved it. I especially love the astral parts. Lots of modern-day CGI that made it possible. Making something like that a few
decades ago would of been impossible.

Anyway, cya around and thanks again! :):)

Seems you got a historical lesson into what has shaped our world and perhaps a gem or two into the insight needed to fix it. Congratulations!

Thanks Nameless! Wish dreams like that happened more often. The negative aspect in them almost serves to make the good energies more powerful and positive. Hmm...

I've been toning it down lately... kind of want to stay out of the astral for awhile. The reason mostly is because I've been experiencing some negative APs. I think I'll let the storm pass a bit and try again in a few weeks. This doesn't stop it from totally happening though. I still get spontaneous exits or dreams.

A few nights ago I exited spontaneously for example. So I get out of my body and go outside. Outside are like 5 dudes waiting for me. When I tried to avoid them and move past them they get in my way and start pushing me around. To them it's all a big mean joke but underneath that I can tell these guys are really mad at me and really hate me. They force me into a big car and I'm like their hostage! In the car I try to talk to them and ask them what exactly I did. "You know what you did!" says one of the punks. They drive me out into the dark and the car stops and we all get out. They form a circle around me and that's when I decide to bolt. I start running and suddenly there is this river in front of me. I dive in and start swimming across. The waters are dark and murky. I see the punks yelling at me to come back. I make it to the other side of the river and climb out. I start walking, more like running, since I feel like they may be coming after me. Eventually I wake up and I'm so glad to be safe at home.

Then I have this dream last night of this person in my house. I can tell he's negative and at one point he takes out his phone and shows me pictures of myself while I'm sleeping or supposed to be alone like he's been spying on me. That freaked me out. Then he shows me pictures of me with all my limbs twisted and broken. He laughs this evil little laugh and I jolt awake.

So I really think I should "stay in" for awhile. Until this negative cloud lifts. I really try to keep things positive but lately it's been hard.

It's not all bad news though. A few nights ago I had a spectacular dream where I was in one of my fantasy stories I wrote when I was in college. It was so spectacular and real and colorful and vivid. It was so good that I wonder if it came from my imagination or if it was Heaven sent. What it really felt like was like as if a group of angels where using my story to cheer me up. Whoever these characters where they where in my corner and all of us participated in pushing the negative energy away. It reminded me why I do this... dreams like that are the epitomes of dreaming.

Too bad they don't happen more often. :)

I can Understand what you are Experiencing Shineling, as I'm currently Experiencing everything you are describing in your last Post. When I read it I felt like reading what I'm Experiencing, the Good and Nice and Positive things as well as the Not Nice and Negative and sometimes very Disgusting things.

It's curious how the Not Nice things don't Scare me at all even the most hard energy attacks that end up leaving a sensation of physical anxiety when waking up after them, but I feel Disgust regarding those beings doing what they do in there, and the Predatory way and strategies that they use to Ambush and Attack me and also the Not Nice things that in some occasions they show me in various ways.

These beings remember me a lot the Inorganic Beings in Castaneda's book "The Art Of Dreaming" and what Don Juan says "Avoid at any cost sending a feeling of fear or morbidity They are pretty morbid by themselves; to add your morbidity to them is unnecessary, to say the least"; in Spanish the phrase is even harder regarding the implications of being Morbid with those beings over there in the Non Physical Realms as many of those beings don't have Feelings don't have empathy (the haven't been Humans so they are Insensitive and Indelicate and killing for them is very easy as they don't experience Remorse).

I wanted to share these lines with you. Back in past years when I was more Enthusiastic about this topic and had more hopes and expectations about it, I was more optimistic about interacting with those realms but after many disenchanting experiences I calibrated very low my expectations and I had to learn to Fight and Resist the Attacks of these Morbid and Very Negative beings (when resisting over and over you get resistance over those attacks and you can even end up winning the battle resisting them with them having to leave you as they can't get more from you and one moving to another realm to end the experience with a tired non physical body but with the satisfaction of winning over those Bad Intended Beings), winning in some cases and losing in others, (when you get to know more about those beings and what they really like to do over there you get Disgusted and Disenchanted about them, that's when you understand why Don Juan don't like them at all in Castaneda's book "The Art Of Dreaming" and I imagine that he mentions that in others of his books); I admire and like a lot the Creative abilities that these beings have and their realms in Artistic ways are amazing (Architecture, Urbanism, Engineering, Landscapes, Technologies, and other Arts), and the abilities they have to create them (is amazing to witness the process of worlds being created before your non physical eyes), but what these beings like to do in their Heavy Morbid Negative and Perverted ways is Disgusting and I don't identify myself with them at all, (they are literally like Psychopaths and that's maybe the consequence of a Consciousness being Lucid/Conscious for Thousands and maybe Millions of years and also not acquiring Feelings and Empathy among other Sensibilities that allow someone with power not to hurt others, and it could also have to do with the "Loosh" energy predation described by Robert Monroe in one of his books for whatever use those being have for that emotional based energy obtained from Conscious beings and from Organic Beings like those present/placed in this world called Earth), and I would like choose very well the kind of world to participate next when I finish my experiences in this world called Earth (I won't come back to this world as I'm not "Human" anymore as I don't feel anymore as a "Human" and I'm not interested anymore in the Animal things that Humans are interested in, except for the Technologic things related with Electronics and Informatics as well as the Artistic Positive things that are present in this world which are very small and limited compared with what there is in the Non Physical Realms).

I send you my best regards and wishes, Shineling, please continue sharing with us your experiences as I learn a lot from them, and if you can find solutions to these Negative Experiences please also share them to learn from your solutions.

With Respect and Appreciation.

 PhaPriSpa, you and Shineling must be hanging out in the wrong side of town or something.  :| :?

Perhaps you guys have never passed the 'Fear tests" there. I am not saying that to be smart. Everything in the NPR has a reason for it. Just like there is a reason for everything that happens in this physical realm as well. The good, bad and ugly all have lessons attached to them. I have been to the NPR countless times "consciously aware" and have learned to allow a scene to fully develop, so that I can get my bearings on what is what. Many times, what you may take to be a "neg", really isn't. Once you get your consciousness engaged you can see what is really happening. I have had many times where I didn't have my full attention there yet and because of it, the place looked pretty eerie. The problem is though that "fear" will automatically kick the fight or flight, thought=action into full gear and that's when "your thoughts" will run away from you.

Ask yourselves, "why do I keep getting these experiences"? We would love to hear the answer. That would really help others that are experiencing either the same or similar things.

On a side note. I have spoken before here about the passion and dedication of the groups that call themselves things like "Astral Demon Hunters". Many are avid Gamers and have no problem with their creative visualization skills. Their sole intent is to go into the NPRs and fight Demons. Because that is their intent, thought=action, they find Demons to fight everywhere there.

,,,and Shineling, those 5 guys might be the boyfriends of the girls you are constantly kissing in NPRs. Just saying, lol!  :-D

Hey PhaPriSpa,

A lot of what you speak about sounds familiar to me. I have also found Castaneda and nagualism to be a most advanced understanding of reality. I have seen these inorganic beings and in my experience they mostly come in two types. One type is much like you described - petty, unsympathetic, and willing to cross lines to steal luminous human energy. But there is another I know... and these are true allies. I have one myself. Unlike the selfish inorganics they share their energies lend support to the organics.

Anyway, you're not alone... I've also been shocked by the level of ignorance and plain evil some of these beings can stoop to. I suggest you look into getting yourself an ally - a positive inorganic. I was lucky enough to catch one in the forest. They are great aids when confronting negative energies. They have amazing knowledge of how astral energy works. Seeings the negative inorganics defeated by their own games can be very satisfying and plain entertaining. Hehe.

But I know what you mean... all I can say is get used to dealing with a**holes both on Earth and in the astral. They are everywhere. Put your intentions on gathering and saving positive energies until you have a reservoir you can tap into. Like I said, getting an ally can be a great way of existing. Mine is always with me, pulsing, taking care of me, and helping me deal with negativity.

Take care man. :) Peace.

100% agree with Lumaza. I have only experienced positive APs with a few fear tests that I have passed. Anything and everything exists in the multiverse, but where we go and experience corresponds with our thoughts believes and state of mind. Always fight with love instead of aggression, because fear and aggression only keeps you in the lower realms of chaos and self created scenarios.
Now dreams have to be distinguished from APs, as they are driven by our subconsciousness that creates mostly symbolism which can be translated in a negative way by our minds. If you start loosing awareness during AP, then your subconsciousness will take over and again create negative scenarios coming from your deepest fears. I have plenty of negative dreams, but never negative APs.

I'd like to throw out a suggestion or two.

I do realize that anywhere we find ourselves to be - there is a reason we are there. However sometimes we are brought into a situation in order to help, not because we ourselves ( our Earth person ) helped to create it, but because our energy is a match to something the situation needs. Can everyone here relate to that?

Now this said, I have experienced being attacked. I have also experienced abduction. I do not frame either of these as 'negative' in and of themselves, however the experience can be unpleasant. I do not like to be afraid, so when I feel fear due to having an experience a tendency of mine is to throw myself right back AT it rather than let anything be left lingering. Now it can be said that these experiences in and of themselves were fear tests, but this does not mean the event was something that was not in fact actually happening. Sometimes our higher being lets us be aware of things, to see if we are ready to know them. ---> this experience of an entity assault is an example (https://consciousnessexploration.com/2021/02/02/obe-log-entity-assault/). <---

Another thing I would just throw out here, is that we do not successfully bring all our experiences back with us into physical space.

In fact, we brings back but a fraction of a fraction of a single percent. For a long while we are just not ready.

Once we are, it is important to not close down on (/deny) the new information.

What truly helps is what always does. Investigation. Exploration.

Even when that is really, really hard.

Casey, I can completely relate. It feels as if just being ourself, following our script, is enough to provide back to this system of One. "but because our energy is a match to the something the situation needs." This thought has been lingering with me for days... You can have two friends who reach a point of separation in the relationship due to a major disagreement- that separation may have been a necessary step for each individual in order to tend to facets of Life that continually dance around them. When this happens, I feel comforted knowing that no matter the direction- ultimately I will meet that friend at the Truth.

I'm not here to tell shineling or others what's real or not- I know you aren't saying that either. That was for shineling. You are saying it's all very real. You've imprinted my mind with a valuable lesson, "data."

I am sorry shineling I continually bring this revelation to your journal- I hope you don't mind. Last night I was meditating downstairs on the hard tile in the hallway. My parents were asleep upstairs- it was just me in the dark in an absurd spot. It felt as if I was living out an aspect of astral projection that I had experienced in the past. Casey you said, "we do not successfully bring all our experiences back with us... but a fraction of a fraction of a single percent." This makes me think about the projection and the real life meditative experience. Because what is time in the astral? Maybe it is not always the same, as the linear reality we experience while awareness is anchored in 3D.

The memory I am apologizing for is because I shared it with you already shineling but I really think there is something connecting these concepts we are discussing... If I am wrong then woopsie.  :lol: Also... Lol, Lumaza- you got me on that with shineling kissing all these astral women. Hehehe.
That memory is the OBE, floating down the stairs and witnessing my self meditate in the living room. Then being brought back to my bedroom and confronted by an extremely negative entity. That negative entity was formless- except for a massive shadow-hand that was able to wrap itself around my throat, choking me and holding me up into the corner of my bedroom. I became so scared I cried out for help. Immediately the scene was "neutralized" after my minds eye was flooded with gold and white light and the name Raphael popped into my head. I was rendered completely calm and when I opened my eyes I saw what looked like energetic residue in my room- and the imprint of this beings energy, a giant alien face tilting its head sideways looking at me. The colors of this energy were green, gold and purple.

When I looked up Raphael on the internet I cried a sweet release and realized the colors I saw matched those associated with that being. Though it looked nothing like the human face we put on it. Why am I mentioning it?

I was safe. I wasn't given more then I could handle. I realize this entity to be an aspect of self. But something more... Why would a future meditation make me feel like I'm living the OBE from the past? And why does it feel like there are so many concepts here coalescing into a tangible, harmonistic experience... ? Like casey says... a fraction of a fraction of a single percent... But I really hope there's something here not just for me but all of us...

And shineling I think that's so cool what you experience and how you experience- no I am not brave enough to venture with these negative entities- organic or inorganic on my own. I am still a baby, lol. I've been drowning in negativity but it almost feels like this too is a trial. I really believe God is guiding us and keeping us safe- no matter the dangers ahead.

All of this to say I am doubling up in Faith- the divine timing of things, and the belief of an ever guiding Spirit.

Remember. We are always working on ourself. <---focus
Not working on ourself is the only potential danger.


Tides,
Remember. Data. — not "positive" not "negative" — DATA  (  the descriptives can come later, *after fear/judgment has been resolved  )
The view will clarify ever so much sooner

Each of us has a shadow. None of us should run from it, push it down, look at it as some "other".

Neither it, nor resolution can be put off forever.

We are all Masters. We have to remember.

Interesting. I work on the opposite principle. Well, unless you consider 'non-doing' as working on yourself.

I think we are already doing too much to unenlighten ourselves. I'm more for shedding rather than acquiring more.

Yes. That is working on yourself.

Thank you very much for sharing your Experience and Recommendations with me and with us, Shineling.

I identify myself with what you've written and appreciate it a lot.

I hope I can cross ways with Positive Inorganic Beings (at least One) that can help me and assist me as Allies. I definitely identify myself with what is Positive/Good and dislike what is Negative/Bad and dislike even more what is Evil.

I don't see myself assisting in any way these Bad/Evil Inorganic Beings and every time I encounter them I try to go somewhere else (by crossing walls or elements like mirrors/screens/windows or even going down crossing the floor which seems to cause one to be transported to other realms as seems like the energy body vibrates in other frequency causing the transportation to those worlds located somewhere else), and if they block and close my way with their labyrinths/mazes (spaces that seconds ago where clear are replaced with closed constructions even internal locations and they are very proficient in creating and changing these environments really fast), and I can't evade them, I just decide to finish the experience by closing and opening my eyes really fast, which sometimes that opens the eyes of another sleeper in another Astral Non Physical World/Realm and if I have enough energies left and I can lift his/her body up then I can walk some more steps into that apparent different Astral World and get to see something more over there, and sometimes (more often) that opens my physical eyes in this Earth Physical Organic World.

I normally end the experience since I haven't learned to Fight Them and Defeat Them (I haven't learned to use energies as weapons and as shields there as every time in the past that I tried it these beings sabotaged my tries to learn that which I tried to learn to be able to Defend myself at least by placing shields around me and trying to view in all directions to detect them when they sneak from behind like Feline Predators do in this Earth World). I also know that they want to Predate as I can feel as the process of being eaten/predated from behind (from the back), and as I already wrote sometimes resisting that creates resistance but with a cost which is being left energetically drained in an unknown Astral Non Physical Realm with very little energy, or if one can't resist completely the attack one eventually wakes up with the body Energetically Stressed and with a feeling of Anxiety (like being internally energetically Scared but not Mentally) and that I always know that normally activates unwanted and undesired sexual urges (which eventually have to be handled by discharging the physical sexual system some hours after that); for those reasons I normally try to stop the experience when these beings Predate as I don't like giving them my energy and somehow stopping the experience stops also the energy draining process which allows one to try later that same night or the next day, as when they drain the energy and leave the Stress and Anxiety/Scare feeling, then there is no way to continue with Non Physical experiences that same night and sometimes is even really hard or nor possible to go back to sleep because of the internal energy feeling of Stress and Disgust that this energy draining process leaves in one's Physical and Energy Body when waking up. Something that I've also noticed there is that in those Negative Realms which normally are Dark (like at Night) the environment always seems loaded with Stress and Expectation and Heaviness, and not with a Relaxed atmosphere but a Stressed and Heavy one, and I always notice that when coming back to waking up in this Physical Earth World the sensation of Peace and Tranquility and Quietness feels much Better in here (in this Earth Physical Organic World) than it is in There (Astral/Dream Non Physical Inorganic Realms/Worlds).

Something to mention regarding Inorganic beings, is that they are Consciousness that are in Energy Worlds that are Not Organic (seems like they don't have Physical Organs nor Physical Life Rules like having to Breathe Air and Feed with Oxygen Cells and everything that keep Animal and Vegetal Bodies in this Earth and Physical Realm we call Universe), but they look like everything we know and interact with in this world, as there they have human like beings that are as humanoid and as human looking as any person in this Earth, there are also humanoid beings that don't look like humans but like any science fiction and also like any fantasy movie you have seen, they also have every animal you know in this world and many (MANY) others more that are very creative in their designs (that walk, or fly, or swim, and a combination those characteristics), they have in there also Cartoon Like Worlds in there (both All Old Cartoon Three-dimentional Painted Like Worlds and Populations and also Physical Three-dimensional and Very Realistically Alive like in Flesh Cartoon Like Worlds and Populations), and they also have cities very varied in design and complexity, ranging from the more simplistic rural places you can visit to the more advanced and futuristic places you can find in this Earth and also in science fiction and fantasy movies (and that's what I've seen imagine what more advanced Astral/Lucid Dream Travelers have seen), so when Castaneda and Don Juan refer to Inorganic beings they merely refer that they are not Physically Limited to the Organic Rules that we have in this Earth World, but as with any Consciousness these beings can develop Morbidity (in every aspect including sexual abuse and psychopathic killing behaviors) and many extreme behaviors and that's why they recommend not to be as naive as to try and play Dirty Morbid things with them as these beings don't have Remorse nor Compassion, and is like a Human Child playing adult things with a Perverted Human Adult which would be Stupid and Irresponsible with very wrong and sad consequences to the Child (which are the equivalent to the Organic Humans naively interacting in Morbid "games" with the way more experienced and not empathetic Inorganic beings).

It'd be really nice to meet some of the Nice and Decent Inorganic beings that are Supportive with us Consciousnesses currently interacting thru Human Organic Beings, and receive some focus and guidance into making a useful use of this Human Organic experience and focusing it to hopefully learn in one life the basics and then continuing in another Non Physical Positive Realm/World where Positive/Good Rules and Negative/Evil is not allowed. That's part of my hopes when I interact with those Non Physical Realms (either looking for the experience or like many times in non planned Lucid Dreaming experiences which are the result of opening that door), and also I enjoy a lot as I've already mentioned before the Creativity that is perceived over there in terms of Artistic manifestations like Architecture, Urbanistic, Technological, Landscapes, and in general all the Positive things that can be seen and perceived over there in these Astral (Lucid Dreaming) Realms/Worlds, and part of my hopes are to be able to develop myself and participate and add my talent in Technological aspects related with Systems/Informatics and also Electronics and/or their equivalents over there, in developing and maintaining the Technological marvelous things that they have over there and that can be seen over here (the Sun circling above earth like a Bulb focusing its warm on the land, the Moon circling above earth, the White Light system that complements the yellow light of the sun, the Dome above earth and the Tridimensional simulation of Stars that we know and contemplate as Firmament, the Electronic and Electric system located in what is known as the North Pole and Arctic, the massive Electrostatic Generator located below ground that generates in an Electric way what we perceive and experience as "Gravity" which is being pulled towards below towards the surface of that Electrostatic Generator, the system that regulates the movement of the Sun and the Moon and also the rotation of what is located in the Firmament above, the system that regulates the Temperature and the waves and the air currents and also the circle Freezing Limit we know as Antarctic, and everything else in this closed life environment and also all the other ones that should exist in creation, whose list is very long, and that Robert Monroe has very shortly described in the book where he presented the "Loosh" topic and many other things that eventually a conscious and lucid mind gets to notice even when the normal indoctrination of the masses is directed toward other direction, and more in this great time of high technological development thanks to electronics and transistors, and also the development and existence of the "Internet" where the Astral Pulse and many other web sites and servers are located and provide access to great information and the opportunity to self-develop in ways that 20 or more years ago where seen only as Fantasy and Science Fiction).

I don't extend myself more, again thank you very much Shineling for your great ideas, and I'll be looking forward to reading more about your experiences and learning and finding motivation in them; as I mentioned this is the only topic that I currently follow and is always a great feeling to read more about your experiences as you are a very developed Astral Traveler (I liked a lot also to read the experiences of "Szaxx (http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/profiles/szaxx-u37887.html;sa,showPosts)" but for some reason Szaxx who is very advanced in Astral Travel stopped being active since some years ago and only connects from time to time).

I send you my best regards and wishes.

I had a successful exit last night and lifted out of my beanbag a little awkwardly. Sometimes it's tough getting out of my beanbag. It's
like getting out of a large ball of cotton. So I go out my room and into the night. I go across the street and go inside a house with
a light on. The ones with lights are always open and inviting. I explore the house and it's empty. The lights are on in every room.
In the master bedroom is a standing mirror and when I looked at my reflection it looked like I was 18. Somehow the mirror
had depth so I push against it and it turns into a tunnel. I go inside. It leads straight and upwards. The walls
where like a white cave, smooth and bumpy.

I exit into a starry night. There are hills and a river meandering through it. There is a small town below so I make my way to it. It
takes me about 20 seconds to get to the town with this speed trick I know. You sorta do your floating and then put one hand directed
forward and one hand directed backwards. And then you sorta pull air with your forward hand and expulse with your backward hand. Almost
like a jet. I was there in seconds.

I go into town and there are neon signs everywhere. What look like bars and brothels are on each side of a generous street. I go
into a pretty building with blue and pink neon. Inside I see cubicles with one person a piece. They are just standing there in their
cubicle. So I go up to one person and ask what they are doing.

The guy asks me if I could use a friend for an hour or two. He quotes me some kind of price. I gather this is some kind of brothel.
I exit the building and go down the street trying to read the signs. But they are in a very weird language I have never seen.

I go into what looks like a bar and it's very well lighted. The bartender asks me if I want to try their moonshine. He brings me a
glass half-full of clear moonshine. It tastes like bitter water but goes down smoothly. And then I feel it. Astral alcohol!

I "went to sleep" soon after that and had pretty dreams. I was completely lucid for this one until the last part where I drifted away.

The End

Last night I had a story dream... one of those long visions that sometimes come during sleep. It was about a huge city filled with star children. The only thing was that this city was inside a huge spaceship. And inside were skyscrapers and houses and parks. There where so many star children that it was becoming uncomfortable to live in the spaceship - because there was no way out.

Somehow though two star children escaped and made it out of the city. They where so happy they were free. They journeyed throughout the astral and finally came to a world rich with Life. They found fertile forests where they could hide. Then one day a young man was exploring the woods when they chanced upon him. He was spending the night all by himself in the deep dark woods.

The star children approached him and read his thoughts. They felt the loneliness that he was feeling. That's when they came out from their hiding spot and sang to him. They turned into little lights that danced around him and sung him tales of the Universe. The boy was so happy that he accepted them into his Spirit and they became a Trio from that day on.

They had many adventures and learned many things from each other. Some other humans somehow noticed something special about this boy and started wondering about him. Some even began harassing him. The boy and the star children fought the bullies and gained much merit because of this. In time these three souls became legendary in some worlds  and would be sent into messed up worlds to fix and balance their Spirit. They had so much merit that things could only get better for everyone.

To this day they travel together friends forever casting Light where the shadows encroach.

The end

Count this as one of your most significant projections, not just a dream.

... But there is another I know… and these are true allies. I have one myself. Unlike the selfish inorganics they share their energies lend support to the organics.

... I suggest you look into getting yourself an ally - a positive inorganic. I was lucky enough to catch one in the forest. They are great aids when confronting negative energies. They have amazing knowledge of how astral energy works. ...

... Put your intentions on gathering and saving positive energies until you have a reservoir you can tap into. Like I said, getting an ally can be a great way of existing. Mine is always with me, pulsing, taking care of me, and helping me deal with negativity.

...

Hello Shineling.

I'd appreciate a lot if you can Please share with us the detailed story of how you contacted the Good/Positive Inorganic that became your Ally in the Astral Realms, and how was your Conversations with this being and the Process that lead you to became his/her Ally and him/her to became your Ally.

It'd also be nice to know How this Good/Positive Ally has helped you and if you can Please share with us some of the Experiences you've had of Help and Assistance that you've received from your Ally in the Astral/Dream Worlds. It'd be nice to know if that help has also extended in the Waking Physical World (on Earth) and in what fields that help has happened (¿if that's the case, do you hear the voice and guidance of your Ally?). ¿How does your Ally contact you in the Astral/Dream Realms? ¿Does he/she speaks to you, and/or suddenly appears to you, and/or transports you to some places, and/or what methods of contact are used?

This can be of Great Help for Me (and Others who read your Experience) to know the process to achieve success in Finding a Good Ally and Convincing (Motivating) him/her to become One's Ally.

I appreciate all the Details you can Please share with us to be able to know a right way to do this process and also the characteristics to take in consideration to be able to Recognize and Accept the Help and Assistance of a Good/Positive Ally. Also would be nice your Experience about how the "Negotiation" process with these beings is, and (if possible if you know) the implications that this Mutual Agreement could have.

I thank you in advance for all the Lights you can Provide Me (Us) in this Field of having a Good/Positive Ally in the Astral/Dream Realms.

I send you my best regards.

Hey Phaprispa... I am kind of hesitant to go into all that so publicly on this forum. A lot of it is considered secret knowledge. Tell you what though... most of it can be found in my book. Here is where you can get your own copy.

Good luck.  :-)

Awesome - you wrote a book !!

Yeah, it's been a few years since I wrote it... Just felt I needed to put down the knowledge and experience. Might help someone going down the same Path.  :-P

I became lucid in a crowd of people... we were on this grassy hill. One guy was mentioning to his friends to follow him. "Come see my new project," he was saying. So we all followed him and suddenly there was amazing music playing. You could also see the music as a wave pattern and it was rippling in pink sending waves and waves into outer space. It was really beautiful. After the show everyone went their separate way. I caught up to one of the people who had been watching and said something like, "I wonder how one makes music do that?" The guy looked at me and that's when he turned toward me inquisitively. He takes out this gadget and says, "Stand still." He scans my head with this gadget and says, "...a few accomplishments, one big one..." He scans my right leg, "...a slave to power..." He scans my left leg, "...but also a healthy dose of freedom. Later dude." And he disappears over the hill.

I am so tired of people with astral gadgets. I've had so many dreams now where astral tech played a part. I've even used them myself and there's part of me that's really turned off by the technology available out there.

Then the dream changed and I was in my old room at my father's farm. However, there was someone sitting on the bed - a nun in garb. It's interesting because we sold that farm to a covenant of nuns. The last time I heard about my father's farm, it had been taken over by nuns as a retreat. So when I saw that nun on my bed it kinda freaked me out. Am I haunting my old room at the farm? I have a lot of dreams about my Dad and he's always at the farm and now it's a retreat for nuns...

Strange dreams. I learned a few weeks ago that I have to move. So I've been house hunting. Found something nearby and made an offer and got it. So I'll have a new neighborhood soon to explore. I can't wait to explore its astral side. Sounds like fun! I wonder what I'll find. It's also gonna be a trip exploring my new home astral side. We'll see.......

The end

I had a good exit last night. I just sort of floated vertically and then naturally assumed a standing position. It was kind of confusing because everything felt like normal waking reality. I wasn't 100% sure I had exited so I went into my bathroom and tried the light switch. It was non-operational. I tried to fly or float by using my hand jets and sure enough I lifted a few inches off the ground - I was asleep!

I went outside and it was pitch dark as sometimes happens. The houses had no lights on them. I went right and lifted into the air hunting for something interesting. As the road bent west that's when everything changed and I entered the wastelands. There was light coming from everywhere and everything was lighted in grays and whites. The buildings where this ash color like they had been burned but still maintained their shape. It was so quiet. I wandered around and everything looked old and deserted. I remember being somewhere like this before. Ash Town. There was litter on the ground but it was ancient. I passed a wind mill, a skeleton of a tree, old mansions with dark windows, an old theater with a few letters on it. There seemed to be like a few locations but they melted together to form chaos... yet there was a beauty to it. Like an old forgotten astral environment where everything and everyone had moved on.

I went back the way I had come hoping to exit the town of ash. I found my street and flew back toward my neighborhood. When things started looking like normal I relaxed. I noticed my house and that I had left the door open. I went passed it and then Color Town appeared. It was day time and the houses looked like they where made of candy. They where so bright and colorful. The lawns looked perfectly manicured and all that bright green. There where no cars whatsoever - not one. I looked at the houses and the windows where the only dark areas. Something spooked me about this neighborhood. It was just too perfect and new. The sky was blue blue blue without one cloud marking it. I decided to go back to my house before getting lost. And I really didn't want to go into any houses this time. But it was a gorgeous neighborhood. Just kinda creepy that desolation...

I found my house after some back flying and landed in my driveway. I went in and closed the door and went in my room and lay down and fell asleep. At least that's all I remember.

It was a weird night because it felt so real. Like these dimensions of my neighborhood are out there right now. And it's not the first time that I've been there in those places. Which makes me think... what exactly are they??  :-o

I think I was having a dream when something happened and my awareness became instantly clear and lucid. It was like a part of me needed help so the whole of me arrived. The first thing I know is that four bullies are surrounding this small little teen of a girl. They are taunting her and she's about to cry. My first reaction lucidly is to kick some butt. So I barrel into the group, do some yelling and pushing, and the bullies flee. I acquaint myself with the girl and we become friends. She says she wants to take me Home to meet her family. She's so sweet and cute, thin, with blond short hair. She holds my hand and reality sorta folds in on itself and we're suddenly in another place. It's beautiful with lots of trees on one side and a great dirt plain on the other. I look at this dirt plain but it's not really dirt. The ground is made of little bricks all the way to the horizon. I inspect one of the bricks and it's made of even smaller rectangles like cells.

Anyway, she takes me to her house and that's made of bricks too. There's nice plants on and around the small house. I meet her Mom and Dad and her little sister. They are super nice and we hang out in the kitchen for awhile. Then she says if I'd like to go to the Border to help the shiblings. (I don't exactly know what a shibling is.) I agree to go with her and she packs a picnic basket and we walk to the border on this brick road. When we get there I see what a shibling is. They are the people who make the bricks. They make the astral world bigger and bigger. I see tons of newly made bricks on the ground. They look like they are drying or being prepared. Everything is kind of dark and brown though. But the bricks are very pretty almost like the road, kinda amber and honey colored.

We stayed with the shiblings and shared the food. I remember giving her a hug goodbye and saying something like, "I'm about to wake up! I have to go..." and then ta-da! I was back in my bed.

The end

I was driving in this realistic dream and when I looked over my girlfriend was on the other side of the car next to me. I was driving my old crown vic for some reason and it was white. My girlfriend said to pull over into a dirt road and in a few minutes a big old white mansion appeared. It looked a little dilapidated but I had been here before. It's really a school for spiritual endeavors. It seems to be one of my girlfriend's favorite places to visit in dream land - at least my "dream" girlfriend.

We started in the back porch after greeting everyone. We lay in this cushion thing that overlooked the lake. I planted a hundred kisses on her face and she smiled and laughed. Then we went inside to the library. We started watching a film but as we watched this film what was happening in the film tangled together with our dreams. First there was a dark wolf that crossed a rope bridge. That wolf was me. Then a white wolf appeared that was my girlfriend and she hesitated at the bridge. Then the white wolf started going out of shape like her profile was drawn in angled lines. But then a light brown wolf appeared and helped the white wolf. Finally, she started looking like normal and crossed the bridge to me.

As the two wolfs got together on the other side I feel someone grab me in a huge hug and laugh into the crook of my neck. I hugged her back and there where more happy kisses.

The end

I was trying to exit, and I was in that half-between state, when the background turns white and I see the cartoon outline of this Wonder Woman girl appear. She was being redrawn like 10 times a second until it produced this animated layering effect. She had a crown of yellow, then blue, then violet, all kinds of colors. And she seemed drawn with a super hero uniform. After that came two more super women, also drawn on a bright background of white.

They started speaking to me and said this: "This is the Mahayana..." A thousand petaled white lotus appeared this time in 3D. It twirled and began unfolding. "It leads to this..." Now an 8 petaled pink lotus appeared. I think the 8 represent the 8 virtues of Buddhism or the Noble 8 Fold Path.

After that I became lucid in this huge carpeted room. It was empty except for me laying down in my bean-bag (which was also there) and this huge wooden whale. From my bean-bag I checked out this whale. It was carved with all kinds of designs and strange languages. I see this woman with short hair appear so I get up and go and talk to her.

"Where'd you come from?" she asks.
I say something like, "I'm looking for someone that can teach me the full Mahayana."
"Ahh... the Mahayana. I know it well. What's with the whale?"
"I think it belonged to my former Master."
"That's interesting. Look in the mirror."

I looked into one of the mirrors on the wall and I had a big bruise on the left side of my face.

"Don't worry... I'll watch out for you. I take care of a lot of people."

We went into a kitchen where a few people where making a meal. She handed me a small knife and said, "Cut these carrots."

And that's all I remember....

I looked up the Mahayana today and went over a few of my books on it. Kinda inspires me to seek some formal training. Hmm... wow.

Then end

Just to update everyone... I'm officially a homeowner. Moved in yesterday. It was rough... I got a soar back. But I am now in my new house. :)

Not too much to report... a had an AP where I visited this city inside a hollow bowl of a canyon. It was massive. As I was led into the rustic city I could look up in all directions and I could see cliffs all around me. It really felt like I was in a huge earth bowl. The people leading me into the city wore arabian clothes and it seemed as if I was on some sort of pilgrimage with them.

Then I had another AP where I ended in my old car driving my Dad around. My Dad has been dead 7 years now. We were driving around the boonies of central Florida and I got us lost. We ended up on this dirt road and in the forest and there were these abandoned wooden houses on both sides of the road. They where really pretty though. One looked like a tree house. And the eerie quiet....

I haven't really been paying that much attention to my dreams. Been pretty busy with real life lately. Hopefully things will calm down soon and I can get back to really going out there again... I hope.



Cya!

 Congratulations on your new home Shineling!  :-) I too recently became a first time home owner. It's a good feeling!  :-)

Congrats on the new home Shine. Thank your back for being a trooper. :-)

Thanks Lumaza and Nameless!  :-)

Another big day today... went back to my old rental and cleaned, cleaned, cleaned. Tomorrow I get to REST.

Feels good to be home finally!  :lol:

Last night I had a lucid experience that's worth writing down. I went to sleep and woke up in another world. I was still me but I lived downtown in a beautiful city. Everything was modern and the buildings were futuristic. I was lucid but as this other me. I did my morning routine and then headed off to work. Apparently I worked at this astral company that made astral apps.

I walked into work which was called Stormfront Studios and I knew everyone there. It was like I had been given access to many more memories of mine and I knew everyone's names. It was more than that... I was actually familiar with all of them. I went into my office and worked on the app. It was an app designed to replace an older environment with new material... I think. I had a computer and some kind of terminal I could input and read data from.

I talked to many people and engaged in several meetings with these new people which were very familiar with me and which I counted as old friends.

I left work and got ready for my third date with this girl I had been seeing. Tonight I was planning to kiss her for the first time. We met and it was a great date. I walked her home and at her door I kissed her. She was shy at first but then she fell in with me and we kissed for real.

I woke up right after that! Darn...

It's nice to see myself or some part of myself living a nice life... especially when my Earth life isn't so spectacular. :)

If anyone is interested... my new book:

Last night I exited in my room at my new house and was very surprised by someone suddenly grabbing my foot and throwing me against the wall. I quickly recovered but I was grabbed again and thrown to the other side of the room like a rag doll. The only thing I could think of was to get into my meditative posture and start meditating.

It worked for awhile but I could feel that negative power hovering around me... testing my defenses. It made me really tighten up on my meditative posture with a straight back and my eyes open... like a real Buddha. The background turned this red color and two nasty looking men walked into the scene. They started sticking scissors between my teeth trying to pry my mouth open. I knew then that this was some kind of test so I tried to enter that serene meditation. Suddenly they brought out a big sledge hammer and swung at my face! The whole scene shattered like a pane of glass!

Suddenly I was in this car. My father was driving and my mother was in the passenger's seat with me in the back. The car was driving through the air. Below I could see a beautiful lake with lots of trees and mountains. As we went over the lake the car descended toward an island. It was populated by giant oaks and a white house in the middle. There where so many big trees that the house lay nestled inside them in beautiful patterns of light and shadow. It was really beautiful and homey.

We got out of the car and went inside the house. I remember being so excited to be on this "vacation" that I woke myself up! Oh well... it was nice while it lasted.

Well, the flood gates have opened... I APed three times last night after almost two months  of just dreams. I finally got a good look at my astral neighborhood at my new place of residence . It was fascinating.

It started by me falling asleep and entering my trance. I could then feel someone or something watching me and I became lucid and was able to perform an exit. I went out my new room and out of the house. Outside it was dark and it had just rained. There where puddles and the street shone with reflection. Many houses had their lights on so I headed down the street. I saw two motorcycles go right past me at full speed with their bright lights.

Outside of a home I found 5 people talking together. They where just sitting down on some patio furniture. I went up to the cutest girl and I said "hi".  She couldn't see me at first until I kissed her on the cheek and then she sort of woke up. I gave her a big hug and a kiss and she felt really good. Then I woke up.

I went to sleep again and was able to AP easily after that. I heard this little song coming from somewhere. I followed it out of my room into the closet at the other side of the house. As I opened the door it was not a closet but a basement! I have no basement but in the astral there is a basement in my house! I went down the. basement steps still looking for the song. As soon as I stepped off the last step it stopped.

I looked around the basement. It was no ordinary basement. It had tunnels leading away in all directions. I was a little scared although there seemed to be light enough. I woke up right after that.

The third time I APed some of my friends were in my house. We checked the closet and sure enough the basement was there. A lot of stuff happened next. We explored and explored the tunnels. We thought it might be a ghost network tunnel. We found a lot of abandoned keepsakes and a room that had a ledger with names all over it. My friend found a book that said that whoever had been here last hated "bigots" and that's who they tormented.

Great... my new house has an entrance to a ghost network. Lol.

Just a quick note in my journal.... For the past 10 days every time I wake up, just for a second, I see this bright bright yellow light disappear out of the corner of my eye. It's like it's watching my dreams or instigating them maybe. I've had some great healing dreams lately so I don't think it's necessarily bad. But I wonder what it is??

I lay down and tried to go to sleep. I really was not that asleep when I started hearing hundreds of voices talking. It really sounded like there were many newscasters reporting at the same time or like radio news. I remember thinking, "I can pick up radio signals now??"

Then I was ripped out of my body by this powerful force. I flew into the void! Suddenly I am flying at a great altitude through a storm. I could see the great puffy clouds and lightning lacing through them. The clouds were so detailed like an HD movie. I was also flying at a great speed. Next, I was traveling very quickly through these lonely snow covered valleys and mountains. They where really stark and cold and lonely but beautiful. And so detailed. I mean... it was like I was really there.

Then, I was in the upper atmosphere again and it was sunny with a breathtakingly blue sky. I was going through clouds and this is when I decided to take control. I looked straight down and what I saw was incredible. Way down below was this small black circle rimmed with golden light. It looked like an eclipse at its peak. I dove toward it and seemed to fall and fall for ages. As I got close to the ground, on the verge of collision, I woke up.

After I woke up I saw that strange visitor light on my left lift off like a ufo and disappear! This time this strange light I've been seeing right after I wake up was brilliantly blue. Strange...

I also want to mention that right after the light departed I was unexpectedly aroused. I ignored it and went back to sleep.

The End

Shineling, I hope you can please share with us some of your experiences with your Good Inorganic Allies. For now, I share this message I posted today regarding this subject. My best regards for you.

This is Not a Book but a Movie, that contains an Interesting example of what a Good/Positive Inorganic Elemental Being in the Non Physical Realm can be and how they can provide gread help when needed (look at the Cat-Bus Scene when the Girl is looking for her missing Younger Sister and other scenes of Totoro and the Two Sisters while Conscious/Lucid in the Dream Realms near their New Rural Home), and how they can become Great Allies and Friends and share great adventures in the Non Physical Realms; it's something like what Don Juan explains in Carlos Castaneda's Book "The Art Of Dreaming" and other more of his books related with Dreaming (Lucid Dreaming), in terms of the Good Allies in the Inorganic Being Realm.

This is the Trailer of that Great Movie; I didn't expected it to be that nice.

I can't afford to buy it, but thanks anyway shineling.

I've also sent you a private message on September 09, I hope you analyze it and reply it in private.

I send you my best regards.

I went to sleep and had a clean exit. However, the place I exited upon was not my room. I was in this dark room with many beds in two rows against each wall. On the bed where people sleeping. I got up off my bed and tried to find an exit. I bumped into this black man in robes. He looked at me and asked, "What are you doing out of bed? Go back to your bed." I asked him why and he said this was a place of healing and that I needed to heal from my recent sadness. I had been kinda bummed out lately. I went back to bed and fell asleep. When I woke up the sun was out so I went to explore.

I wandered around this world which seemed put together by a few different environments. There where people walking around and everything seemed super clear. Somehow, I wandered into a pleasure plane. There where these temples with big unrecognizable signs. I went in and one room I saw people with these little metal arms around their face. They where oohing and ahhing as if they where in bliss. One little metal arm had a light and went in their left eye. Another arm went into their nostril and another into their mouth. One of the people looked like Jennifer Aniston. In another room I saw sex occurring. Everyone had an earpiece where they where listening to commands that told them how to have sex. I guess the commands told you how to pleasure your partner for optimum effect. Everyone seemed to be having the time of their lives. Finally, I went into a room with glowy rainbow walls. As soon as I was inside I started floating. Then some invisible force was massaging me all over. It felt incredible. I could see the walls and they where moving with ripples. I felt so good being massaged that I drifted off. I don't remember much after that except I woke up really refreshed.

The End

I've only been at my new house for 4 months, so I'm still exploring my new home and neighborhood astral side. Unlike my old neighborhood, my new neighborhood always has some lights on the houses - like a porch light. Sometimes, when I AP at night, I used to get pitch darkness. Well, in my new neighborhood this has not happened yet. That's good news because utter darkness really scares me.

There is more to report and some of it is a bit strange.

When I exit my body, I get off the bed and go out of my room toward the front door. This is where it gets weird. In front of the door there have been things blocking me from opening it. One time there was my couch blocking exit to the outside. Then one time a chair. Another time a stack of paintings. It's as if something does not want me to go outside.

And once I make it outside everything looks normal but there are no people anywhere - in the streets or the houses. I've explored the houses and at first in the first few weeks of me exploring there where people. Lately however it's been creepy and desolate.

I really don't know what to make of these new changes besides keeping on exploring. Something tells me there's something off. Especially with my front door being blocked. I don't know what it is yet.

Besides that, my dreams have been positive lately. Will report back soon. Thanks for reading. :)

Interesting shineling, great observations.

Well... tonight the hurricane came through. We got a direct hit but fortunately the lights stayed on (so far). I just woke up from one of the most intense APs I've ever had. The moment I woke up though the erasure guys started doing their thing on me and I could hardly recall most of it. Yet something remained.

I remember exiting but I exited in my old neighborhood. I remember going outside and there was another chair blocking the door. Stick with me... I think I finally have a clue as to what's going on with the crap in front of my door.

I went out and started flying. I remember I just got frustrated and started yelling, "I want to talk to whoever's in charge!" I yelled and yelled. Four beings appeared from above and floated down toward me. This is where the fog starts. All I recall is that they took me in and showed me amazing things. I remember meeting lots of people and them showing me and giving me this gift which I took home with me.

They dropped me off at my house and I went inside. To my surprise my deceased father was there rearranging the furniture. He was mad at me for some reason and I think tried to communicate that I shouldn't be APing. I just ignored him. It was that same attitude he had given to my astral and new age studies while he was alive. I think it confused him. Thanks dad... oh well.

Hi everyone, I hope everyone is dreaming well.

I know I haven't been active for awhile but I've been taking a break. I do have one interesting dream or AP to report that I found more than interesting.

It starts in a dark room where I lay sleeping on a couch. I remember feeling wonderfully comfortable with soft pillows and a warm plush blanket. Then suddenly I feel someone sit on the couch at my feet. I open my eyes and look down to see a young woman peering at me.

   "I guess we're the first ones here," she says.
   "Here?"
   "First meeting in 40 years since the bridges went down."

   I'm totally confused but now I'm lucid and my mind is processing. More people start to arrive and take seats around the living room. I remember that there where about 30 people and then the television comes on and someone hits play on a video or dvd.

   The video was about a group of higher beings who had come to Earth to help make it a better place. They came to help the Earth but also to help themselves become enlightened. They where already pretty advanced but somehow this journey would serve like a test and acomplishement of their enlightenment if they succeeded.

   So everyone in this group where put into special wombs designed to nurture and advance their gifts with the right parents and environment. They where born and their lives began. This apparently happened about 40 years ago. But around year 10 of their lives something happened to them that was unforseen. Apparently a great negative power started to grow on Earth and most of them lost their connection to their enlightened gifts and to their Home which they had been regularly visiting in their dreams. In fact many important bridges and portals were lost and so these beings forgot who they where and why they had come.

   Anyway, now something had reversed that negative process and a great healing had begun reestablishing these bridges and portals.

   The video ended and I found myself in conversation with a group of my people who was filling me in on current events. I can't remember everything but it was like a great recollection for me and unlocked deep feelings of my spiritual self and why I had come to Earth.

   I don't know how much of it was a dream or if any of it was real but as I remembered it felt amazing to feel a new part of me coming back to life. Almost like if one of my limbs had fallen asleep and now had come back to life.

   The rest of the dream was involved in exploring the new 'healed' portal and bridge of my specific group. We first climbed into an RV and inside, at the back, the walls warped an disappeared into this bridge that led to a beautiful and colorful Japanese garden. There where people there that greeted us like we had returned home after a very long time. It was wonderful.

   I woke up and this dream has stayed with me for several days... this new feeling that I have a reason for being here. That I'm just not at the whim of karmic debts and was born willy-nilly but that I have a purpose and mission for being here. I also remember the feeling of friendship. They say we travel in groups... I certainly had that feeling with this dream.

   

It reads like a great experience shineling; not just a dream, the messaging is very direct and clear.

Your recall is impressive. Good one.

Hi Shine, what a lovely experience and I think this was way more than a dream, if you don't mind my saying so. Your intuitive powers were/are very powerful.
Hugs

Thank you for your responses EscapeVelocity and Nameless. It's really appreciated. :) And it's so helpful.

I don't Ap that much anymore... I think too much of a good thing can be bad. I was getting a bit confused and ungrounded. So these days I'm just getting some good natural sleep and this has helped a great deal in bringing me back to the center.

Anyway, I'll try to report back once in awhile. I hope you guys are still here for a long time to come or that the website stays online.

It helps to know there are other people who are in the same boat.

Cya all laters!  :-P

Thank you for sharing your experiences! Hope you get some good rest!

Something strange has happened. A few nights ago I was going to sleep. So I lay down and was about to drift off when I see this light from the corner of my left eye. I had my eyes close of course, but this light moved in a very mechanical way and just lifted off. That night I had a terrible nightmare. I had paralysis and I tried to scream out for help to my Mother who sleeps in the room next to mine. I couldn't get any words out. All I could feel was this black force pushing down at me.

The next morning I woke up and I remembered my experience. But I also remembered that after that bad dream I had a really good dream where somehow I had earned my freedom and been granted the choice to transcend this world when it was my time. But still.... I couldn't shake that bad dream that came first.

When I got out of bed I felt a terrible pain on my left knee. I looked down and there was a straight cut exactly where the pain is. It's been a few days and the pain has not gone away. Now there is a small scab where the pain is. It looks like a straight line as if of a surgical knife!

I don't know what to think! If the pain does not go away in a few days I may have to go to the doctor!

I had the most extraordinary dream last night. It felt so vivid, as if I were truly transported to another realm. In this dream, I found myself floating in the vast expanse of space, surrounded by swirling galaxies and celestial wonders. Suddenly, a radiant light appeared before me, and from within it emerged the higher beings of the universe. These ethereal beings, shimmering with energy, approached me with a sense of profound wisdom and kindness. They spoke in a language that transcended words, and their thoughts entered my mind directly. They asked me a question that shook the very core of my being: "Would you like to make first contact with a human civilization in the Andromeda galaxy through an astral projection?"

Overwhelmed by curiosity and excitement, I eagerly accepted their proposition. With their gentle touch, I felt my consciousness being lifted, as if my spirit detached from my physical body and soared through space. I journeyed across galaxies and nebulae until I arrived in the Andromeda galaxy, where I found myself in a bustling city on an alien yet human world. Amidst the fascinating scenery and alien architecture, I encountered a man named Teno. He had a warm smile and eyes that sparkled with intelligence. Teno possessed an otherworldly aura, and I sensed that he was an explorer of knowledge and experiences.

We engaged in conversation, sharing stories about our respective worlds. Teno spoke of the wonders of Andromeda, its diverse civilizations, and the collective wisdom they had gained over countless generations. In turn, I shared tales of Earth's history, the beauty of its landscapes, and the resilience of its people.

As our bond deepened, Teno suggested that we play a game to further bridge the gap between our cultures. He introduced me to a game called "Galactic Tetris," a cosmic variation of the classic puzzle game. The blocks fell from the sky, each bearing symbols and colors representing different cosmic phenomena.

As we played, the blocks aligned and vanished, creating mesmerizing cosmic patterns and releasing bursts of vibrant energy. With each line cleared, Teno and I shared knowledge and insights, exchanging ideas and philosophies about life, the universe, and everything in between. It was as if the game itself was a conduit for cosmic connection and understanding.

In the midst of our friendly competition, I discovered that Teno possessed an unparalleled talent for Tetris. His mastery over the game was awe-inspiring, and his fluid movements reflected a deep understanding of harmony and balance—a reflection of the wisdom cultivated by his civilization. Through the language of the game, we transcended the boundaries of language and culture, experiencing a profound meeting of minds. Together, we marveled at the wonders of the cosmos and contemplated the mysteries that lay beyond our comprehension.

As the game reached its climax, the universe seemed to vibrate with energy. We achieved a state of harmony and unity, as if our souls had merged in the symphony of creation. With a final cascade of blocks, we completed our game, leaving a trail of cosmic stardust in its wake. Reluctantly, I felt the astral projection coming to an end, as if time itself tugged at my ethereal form. Teno and I bid each other farewell, promising to carry the memories of our encounter in our hearts.

I woke up from this extraordinary dream with a profound sense of wonder and gratitude. Though it was just a dream, it reminded me of the limitless possibilities that lie beyond the boundaries of our known world. Perhaps, in some cosmic realm, there are civilizations like Teno's, waiting to share their wisdom and experiences with us.

Until then, I shall cherish the memories of our cosmic game of Tetris, forever grateful for the glimpse into the extraordinary and the beauty of the unknown.

Shineling,

What an amazing experience. And beautifully written. I could see and feel what you were relaying.

I am really happy to have read this today!

Congratulations, and thank you. =)

An extraordinary gift this one - yes! ( such blessings ). I agree.

Thanks for reading about my dream!  :-)

Last night, I had the most incredible dream that whisked me away into a world of magic and enchantment. It all started with a mysterious knock on my door, and when I opened it, ten rather imposing individuals entered, claiming to be investigators. They wielded astonishing gadgets that scanned every corner of my house and even ventured into the depths of my memories. Fear gripped me as they informed me that I needed to accompany them. Before leaving, they allowed me to bid a tearful goodbye to my Mom.

As they ushered me into a car and I glanced back, the unimaginable happened. My entire house transformed into a Disney-like wonderland, radiating a magical aura. To my astonishment, Mickey Mouse himself appeared, placing a "For Sale" sign in the front yard.

My journey took a mysterious turn as I was taken to a dimly lit room filled with other kids. Some sported Mickey Mouse hats with those iconic big ears. I couldn't help but ask what Mickey Mouse had to do with all of this, and the response was disbelief, "Don't you know where you're going??" Soon, the grand revelation came.

We boarded buses, and as they started moving, we embarked on a breathtaking journey through a realm of enchantment. The further we ventured, the more it resembled a Disney paradise, complete with all the magic Disney has to offer. Some kids on the bus were even performing magic tricks, and an overwhelming sense of joy permeated the air. The energy was so vibrant and colorful that I became completely lucid.

When we finally disembarked from the buses, we found ourselves in an enchanted land where young people donned costumes of magic Disney characters. It became evident that I had entered the astral version of Disney World, and to my amazement, I was destined to become an employee!

As I conversed with the other kids, it became clear that I was headed to a training camp where I would learn the secrets of magic and participate in a Disney astral show. Before reaching our dorms, we made a pit stop at the cafeteria, where the food offerings were nothing short of mesmerizing. Every bite was a delightful explosion of sweetness and flavor. The surroundings were regal, elegant, and bursting with vibrant colors.

In that moment, I was overwhelmed with happiness and gratitude for being in Astral Disney World. I couldn't help but wonder if this was the official astral counterpart of Disney, crafted with the same passion and perfectionism. Whoever was in charge had certainly outdone themselves.

When I woke up, I was filled with an incredible sense of joy and rejuvenation. I eagerly anticipate the day I might actually visit this magical place or even have the opportunity to work there. This astral dream turned a terrible day into an absolute delight, leaving me with a heart full of wonder and excitement.

...keep waking up with scratches on my skin waaaay too often.  :|

About a week ago, I found myself immersed in a vivid dream where I was diligently working on a challenging homework assignment. Transported to an otherworldly academic setting, my dream self was enrolled in a university, fueled by a burning desire to impress my enigmatic teacher, Mr. Robinson. The subject of my intellectual pursuit? None other than the creation of algorithms for astral apps. Strangely, this wasn't my first foray into the realm of dreams featuring astral applications—I seem to possess an uncanny knack for conjuring them up in the ethereal landscapes of my subconscious. Despite my lack of real-world expertise in astral app development, in the dream world, I was a wizard at it. Astral apps, I discovered, held the power to shape and manipulate environments, offering a myriad of functions that could influence the very fabric of astral reality.

In the dream, I successfully completed the challenging homework associated with astral app algorithms, an experience that left me intrigued and pondering its significance.

Fast forward three days, and my dream world adventures continued. This time, I dreamt of attending class and dutifully submitting my astral app homework, further weaving the fantastical narrative of my dream reality.

The climax unfolded just last night when the dream took an unexpected turn. Mr. Robinson, my dream teacher, summoned me to his office, where I learned that my approach to cracking the astral algorithm was hailed as nothing short of genius. Apparently, I had pioneered a groundbreaking method, becoming the first to crack a complex algorithm in a wholly unique way. News of my achievement spread like wildfire, turning me into the talk of the dream realm.

Enter a captivating moment in the dream—a mesmerizing encounter with a hot blonde, her eyes a captivating shade of green. She sat me down and explained the significance of my achievement, unveiling the revelation that I had revolutionized the execution of astral apps and the energy required to power them. Enthralled by her words and those enchanting green eyes, I was left both bewildered and fascinated by the surreal turn of events.

As I navigate this dream-induced drama, I can't help but be captivated by the possibilities that unfold. The prospect of delving into astral app creation full-time is a tantalizing one, mirroring my real-world passion for developing applications across various platforms—Android, iPhone, PC, and Mac. It seems that my dream self shares the same enthusiasm for creating apps, even in the celestial realms. How intriguing!

Last night, I experienced an incredibly vivid and mystical dream centered around Native American Indians. In this fantastical journey, I found myself dwelling in the bustling city, steering my trusty jeep towards the elusive countryside. The transition from urban sprawl to lush landscapes was a captivating journey of contrasts – concrete jungles giving way to green valleys, majestic mountains, and sprawling plains adorned with tall grass.

After navigating this surreal landscape, I descended a dirt road into a picturesque valley, eventually reaching a secluded forest. Nestled within the trees stood a quaint cabin, where a small Native American girl was diligently chopping wood. Somehow, the purpose of my visit revolved around a child we had apparently shared, though no trace of the child was evident. The atmosphere was charged with tension as our older selves grappled with the past.

Following a heated exchange, I retraced my steps, choosing a different path that wound its way up into the mountains. The air grew crisp as I ascended, finally reaching a breathtaking bluff protruding from the lofty peak. There, amidst the elevated serenity, I encountered a surreal sight – a deer, one half pulsating with life, the other draped in the stillness of death.

In an inexplicable twist, I transformed into a deer, and a profound connection unfolded between us. Our gaze locked for what felt like an eternity before we seamlessly morphed back into human form. The other deer revealed himself to be an Indian, inviting me deeper into the mountain's mysteries.

The journey continued into a vast cave adorned with mesmerizing paintings, each telling stories in diverse artistic styles. Amidst the flickering images of fire and faces, I met a wise and welcoming tribe. As an offering of friendship, I shared a candy bar, which the Indian enthusiastically devoured. The tribe introduced me to their chief, who sealed our newfound connection with a unique handshake, designed to ward off potential adversaries.

With a promise to return in two weeks, I left the cave and descended to my waiting jeep. The return to the city was filled with a profound sense of purpose and fulfillment. The realization that I had discovered a reason to journey back to the mountains lingered in my thoughts. The dream concluded with the comforting notion of having forged deep connections and made extraordinary friends in a world that transcended the boundaries of reality.

This is what I see almost every night as I stare up at my fan as I drift off to sleep. This little light lands like a ufo on my left field of vision.

In the shadows of the subconscious, I've been on a relentless pursuit, stalking a figure elusive as mist, yet undeniably real in the depths of my dreaming mind. Each night, I grasp fleeting glimpses of this enigmatic persona, my dream self, traversing realms beyond the grasp of waking reality.

The mysteries of our dreamscapes beckon, questioning why our nocturnal adventures dissolve like wisps of smoke at dawn's arrival. Who is this intrepid explorer, unbound by the shackles of consciousness, charting courses through the ethereal expanse of the subconscious? It is me, yet not me; a self unburdened by the constraints of the waking world, liberated within the boundless essence of dreams.

In the surreal landscapes of my slumber, I embark on wild expeditions with companions donned in Tigger suits, hunting elusive prey amidst the tangled jungles of the subconscious. But my dream self is more than a mere thrill-seeker; he possesses a technical prowess, crafting astral apps with a finesse that eludes my waking grasp.

In the realm of spirits and souls, he effortlessly mingles, forging relationships as vibrant as they are transient, a stark departure from the complexities of my waking existence. Home, for him, is not a fixed abode but a sanctuary wherever solace can be found, a place to retreat and meditate amidst the ebb and flow of dreamscapes.

Yet, as the astral night draws to a close, my dream self bids farewell to his ephemeral adventures, driving his rusted chariot to forsaken corners of the astral realm, where he surrenders to slumber once more. And with the first light of dawn, I am abruptly torn from this ethereal realm, left to ponder the enigma of my nocturnal alter ego until the next twilight descent into dreams.

Just a quick one.

In the realm of dreams, where reality dances with the whims of imagination, I found myself dwarfed by colossal boots that seemed to reach the heavens. As I craned my neck to behold the source of this monumental presence, my eyes beheld a figure of titanic proportions, garbed in the resplendent attire of a hero.

"Hello, little one," the behemoth rumbled, his voice resonating like thunder. Bewildered, I dared to question the very essence of his colossal stature. "How did you become so immense?" I inquired, my voice a mere whisper against the backdrop of his grandeur.

"I have ever been this vast," he intoned, his words carrying the weight of aeons.

Yet, amidst the surreal exchange, a daring curiosity seized my tongue, for in the presence of such enormity, even the most audacious queries found voice. "Do you still have sex?" I dared to ask, braving the boundaries of propriety.

With a solemnity befitting his celestial stature, the colossal figure responded, "No longer do I tread the path of mortal desires."

With a tremor of trepidation coursing through my veins, I said, "Well don't hurt me."

To my relief, a gentle reassurance emanated from the towering entity. "Never," he murmured, his touch as delicate as the breeze that stirs the leaves, as he tenderly lifted me into his grasp.

And then, with a gesture both graceful and sublime, he propelled me skyward, through the billowing veils of ethereal mist, where dreams and reality intertwine in a symphony of wonder and awe.
