Dental problems while projecting

[Lucid Traveller]

i work in dental and ortho and can honestly tell you that most people (99%) grind their teeth at least a little when they sleep....it is only bad if it is very often (only about 20% of people)....most likely you just happened to be having a normal nitetime grind session at the same time you were astral or about to become astral.  you can get things to wear over your teeth as you sleep if it is a real problem and there is a company that sells do it yourself niteguards that are in most pharmacies (dr's niteguard)......i often will be lucid or obe and become aware of myself having a little grind...... if the pain is actually coming from where your lower jaw connects to your skull then you probably should get a type of niteguard called a TMJ splint..... if you were in central pennsylvania i would gladly hook you up with one.....otherwise, any dentist can get one made for you.... hope this helped

Hi everyone.  About two months ago I got interested in the subject of OBE's and about ten days ago I got Robert Bruce's Book Astral Dynamics.  After a couple of days I found that the NEW techniques were extremely simple and that I did even need to use my awarness hands to raise my energy.  A day or two after that I started to feel vibrations whenever I raised my energy for more than ten minutes, so I felt that I was progressing fairly well.  For the past year I have recently had this feeling when I'm asleep that my last molars are decayed and falling out, and whenever I tried to open my mouth it felt like a wire was keeping the shut, making it painful to open them.  After awhile I realized it's all in my head, so when this happens I just lie there with my mouth closed and go to sleep.  Yesterday afternoon I was taking a nap when I felt this feeling again, but this time it was acompanied by the vibrations.  Then all of a sudden I here this buzzing/bumping sound.  It wasn't constant though, it would buzz for about a second then go away for a second or two, then come back.  It scared me a bit, even though I knew that I was about to project.  I got up from the nap, confident that when I tried it again than night I would be successful at leaving my body.  So last night I did all the exercises, I started to feel the vibratrions and my mouth started hurting again.  Before the buzzing started again, I realized that I was grinding my teeth together, which kinda freaked me out because that bad for your mouth and haw, and I stopped what I was doing.  So my question (finally) is is there any way that I can relax my jaw, or should I just suck it up and let myself grind my teeth for a few minutes before I project?  I know it sounds wierd, but any advice will be apreciated.  Thanks.
