Hey All,

I just want to share a really great experience I had last night and this morning.  

Ok so about 6 months ago I completed a Reiki course up to Level 3 in Usui Reiki (Master Level).  Ive been using it on and off since then with mixed results (bear with me, this is not just about Reiki!).  Lately I have had pretty bad eye strain likely caused by excessive computer use.  Anyway, i've found that performing self healing when I go to bed has massively helped to the point of the pain completely disappearing within minutes.  Last night I was listening to TMI Out of Body Condition B as I lay in bed whilst also performing Self Healing Reiki.  I entered a pretty deep trance while doing this.  When I came back to normal consciousness after about 30 minutes my hands (which were still performing Reiki) were literally buzzing - I could hear and feel it, it was the most intense energetic reaction ive ever had doing Reiki.  During the trance I was absorbed in extremely detailed hypnogic imagery.  When I regained full normal consciousness and my hands were buzzing I decided to do it again.  This time I fell asleep.  

During the night I kept waking, tossing and turning unable to sleep.  On one occasion I put ear plugs in because I could hear the A/C which was keeping me awake.  At this point I kept slipping into dreams.  In one dream I was at my previous place of work as an IT Service Desk Manager and I had forgotten my laptop.  I was a bit pee'd off but then I realised "wait there, I dont do IT anymore im a photographer!  Why am I pee'd off?"  Then I became lucid.  It was the most real lucid experience ever.  I shifted location to a hotel.  I was walking around the hotel in real time and every step was 100% real.  During this time my lucidity, or should I say the solidness of my lucidity kept slipping (I was still 100% lucid but the reality of it kept getting less).  I woke up physically a few times but then kept phasing back into my dream.  I did this probably around 10 times and by the 10th time I was getting the knack of waking up and managing to phase back into my hypnogic imagery back into my "dream".  It was truly amazing.  Every time the world around me was slipping, I learned how to bring it back to a solid reality.  I have never had this skill before - lucid dreams usually lasted a few seconds and when ever I have phased into hypnogic imagery I have almost immediately popped back to physical reality, however this time I nailed it.  I was conversing with my "dream" characters in a very real way.  I was even telling them "listen, my reality keeps slipping, what can I do to regain it?" - and they helped me do so.  They told me to rub my hands, focus on objects and keep talking. It worked!!  The individuality of the characters personalities in my dream was unbelievable - they seemed to be fully conscious, although this is speculation.  

I mentioned the Reiki because I am wondering if the Reiki energy helped elevate me somehow to another level of consciousness.

Overall, it was an amazing experience and for some reason I really feel like I can do the same again - it was like riding a bike, falling off then getting back on with each time getting better at it.  

Anyway, ive noticed in my last few posts I have maybe gone on too much, but it was excellent!!

EDIT TO ADD: One other thing, when I woke up fully this morning, I did not have ear plugs in - which leads me to think that maybe all the tossing and turning during the night were false awakenings.

That is really cool AB!!

Thanks for sharing :- )

Lucid dreams are different from OBES though right?

 The fact that you were doing Reiki opened you up to you own consciousness. Just being more spiritual gets you away from the everyday human zombie mind and trains you to understand more of the Astral Reality. Sounds like you are advancing nicely here. Great job. Through Reiki you will find other people that you teach Astral Travel to. The more people that wake up the better I believe. When I travel and do my Renaissance Faires around the country I find a new person in that city that I can help to not only reach the Astral, but teach others to do it as well. I always give them the link to this site, for this is the most educated site on the subject that I have found. I learned through the posts of Xanth and Frank Kepple and endorse them and this site everywhere I go. A number of my new friends around the country are Reiki Masters.

Thanks man.

Are lucid dreams different to OBEs?  Well its funny because this is strangely the 3'rd time I have talked about this today!  I posted this on another thread:

"I think that the term OBE is misleading.  When the early pioneers of this art coined the term, I think it was likely because they felt they WERE their body, and therefore when they experienced a conscious shift, they felt that because their body was lying in bed they must have been "out of body".  In reality, as others have mentioned, we are consciousness and while in normal physical reality, our consciousness is focused "in" our physical body "WE" are really everywhere, just our focus is different."

Basically I think the terminology, is just that - terminology.  Words to describe how people feel in a certain state, however its my belief that all states are just different "areas" of consciousness - including physical reality.  I have no proof of course, but it stands to reason - what are we doing when we OBE?  Projecting our consciousness "out" of our body.  What are we doing when we astral project?  Projecting our consciousness to what is termed as The Astral.  What are we doing when we LD?  For these I think we are projecting our consciousness also, however we just wake up when we are already there!  Likewise with Phasing, its just the same except you're along for the journey :) 

Many (x many!) people are way more experienced than me who may know different, however this is based on my personal experience and what I would say is a logical conclusion.  If we are projecting our consciousness elsewhere in each different case, surely they are the same?

Yes that really sounds right.  Its happened before through Reiki (opening up myself) but I have never even considered using it as a step in my projections.  Now I will :)
