i'm lost

[dRealM]

I have dreams when I'm flying and can control it.. i have dreams where I'm talking to people with my mind.. i have experienced the sensations people talk about here and in books..

I think i just need to talk to someone one on one about my problem its really hard to explain.  I don't know who to talk to.  I feel like if i say the wrong thing to someone I'm going to get arrested.

is it possible that my life.. waking and sleeping are the same life and the things I've done in my dreams are as real as what I've done in my waking life? and they could effect each other somehow.. i do something in a dream and then be held responsible in "reality"?  or maybe could it be possible that... this might be going a bit far.. but something keeps telling me that my spirit/soul/being is not even here.. but I'm projecting all of this dreams and reality from somewhere else completely?

--- I wrote this ^     a long while ago and didn't get much response.. I've been drifting along for the past few years and ran into this and realize i haven't gone anywhere.. I'm very frustrated

i caught a show the other day about psychic kids... not sure so much about the show but one girl they called an indigo child talked about knowing and picking her parents.. I was shocked that someone would say that because I've felt that way most of my life.. like I've been told some things but can't remember for the life of me.. but for some reason i feel i chose to be me.. it is one of the things that keeps me on the hunt i guess for info about why i see/feel/and hear what i do..

I just wish i could be walking to school one day and someone would run into me and know that i was looking for them and tell me everthing i want to know.. and sometimes i honestly think that is completely possible i just sleep in that day or something stupid like that

Hi dRealM

I think most of us feel lost most of the time.  That's possibly why we are here on planet earth, to discover who we are.

The whole point is there is no easy answer - there is no-one to come and tell you everything you need to know - that would be far too easy    We are here to hopefully learn for ourselves, go through experiences (good and bad), and take away what we have learned as spiritual growth. 

How can we progress spiritually without the journey? 

Think of it like this.  You want to play the violin and be the best in the world.  Now the magic fairy comes along and goes "ping" and suddenly you can play the violin like no one else. 

However, let's assume there is no magic fairy.  So you study for years, go through many trials and tribulations, spend days crying because you don't think you'll ever make it, spend other days laughing because you've learned a piece of music you thought you'd never master.

Who is going to feel the most satisfaction of the two examples?  Who is going to have a real sense of achievement, who is going to look back on the journey and think it was all worth it?

Who will have the biggest smile on their face?

Nice words Sarah!  I very much agree.  We all would like a special moment when someone can just come up to us and say, presto!  Everything is OK now!  But this is not the way things are.  There are many tribulations in the world and the destination is not why we are here, it is only the journey that counts.  If things feel strange or out of place, it is time to reflect on how you feel.  There is something to be learned in everything. 

That said, to answer your question about being responsible in an OBE for fear of repercussions in waking life, I don't think you need to worry about that.  The astral realm is for exploration in the extreme.  It is your playground.  Don't get me wrong, what you chose to do or not do is something you should always reflect upon for your own growth.  That is why you are here and that is why you have the freedom to astral project. 

Hope that helps.  Please don't worry so much.  I sense you are getting too serious about this.  Just reflect and enjoy and learn.  No need to be paranoid.

dRealM, welcome

It doesn't really matter who you talk to in order to grasp an understanding of it. If you approach a skeptic he might say...

"I am an expert, I have read theories, and you are just crazy"

Then you approach a community you feel more attracted to and the response is...

"Welcome, we're still exploring and learning. Come and join us if you want"

Stick with what makes you feel comfortable. Don't take everything at face value and be mindful of how you react to what's being said. As far as the concept of reality goes, there are many theories and be assured that science knows a lot less than it claims to. You don't have to wait for it to catch up.
