Finally...a good projection

[StrangeDreams]

After months of bad experiences (more than likely my own unresolved fears and their manifestations) I finally had a good projection. Mine always occur during sleep but I become conscious of what's going on. I remember the feeling of my body being sucked up like a vacuum and travelling very fast. I ended up with a group of people and immediately I picked up on good vibes from them. One guy took me by the arm and said "I got you". He helped me walk throughout the projection because for some reason I was very disoriented. My vision kept going from crystal clear to blurry and half blind. When I had clear vision there was no mistaking that vividness of the astral as I have experienced it before. It was one long adventure and when I woke up at 4:30am I felt like I had just come off a long vacation. I felt like I had not slept all night but at the same time my body felt like an electric current was running thru me. I have never felt so much energy before and I had to do some grounding meditation to settle all that energy. I remember thruout my little adventure when I would get real disoriented I remember hearing "here give this to her" but couldn't see so I don't know what they gave me or did to me. I remember wanting to speak but then realized I was supposed to communicate telepathically and that process took some getting used to. At one point I asked a guy how long I could stay and he told me not very long but seemed like I was there forever.  One time I heard laughing and a guy said "look shes bouncing" don't know what that was about but I know we were all walking not flying as in previous projections.

Questions...why was I so disoriented and kept losing my vision? Also I don't have a clue where I was or how I ended up there don't know anyones name but I was so excited and it felt so indescribably good being with them how can I get there again? Is it even possible to return? What could it have been they were giving me to make me feel so good? Where did all that energy come from?

BTW...the only thing I did differently before bed was the "Star Excersize" from the book "The Science of Being in Seven Lessons" compliments of Adrian Cooper.

I take that disorientation as almost a measure of the clarity of a projection. Much like the pureness of a distilled spirit or that terrible grogginess when you wake up. Compare that feeling to your alertness while playing a sport.

Contenteo are u implying that since my projection occurred during sleep rather than a conscious exit that somehow diminishes the quality or clarity? Because I seem to experience that disorientation a lot. Any clue why I was bursting with energy when I woke up? Never felt that before.

[Contenteo]

Precisely. That is the case.

There is a definitive echelon of 'quality' to each projection. After you have a nice sample size yourself, you'll see what I mean.

To give some examples.

Dreams would be a very low quality. They are murky, difficult to remember in detail, and amongst other things, you have no control.

Another would be those projection that happen without a strong 'intent' (idk how to describe it, or what the real catalyst is, they just turn out eerily murky) I personally have this sensation that someone or some force is pulling/ pushing my scope of view around, usually downward, preventing me from seeing what I want to and going where I want to as I wander about. Thing are far from crisp in these experiences, but I know I am projecting, I am aware of self and have brain chatter.

Anyway, a third would be your F21 projections exits. Here you literally get up out of the area you were sleeping, are in a room similar to the one you passed out in, can look down at your body, say to yourself. Booya, I am in a projection and then get to go explore at will. This are hyper crisp and detailed and your level of perception and understanding is far more clear then anything experienced here on the physical.

Anyway, That give you an idea.

Energy in the morning, yeah I have done that. It's pretty much you are just stoked about life when you get up and have a great morning. I just pigeonhole that into 'perks of studying astral projection' when it does happen.

Keep that intent strong.

You are elated inside. You feel so good that you are witnessing your progress. It always makes our day when something great occurs especially when that something great happens before we wake up, that's always a bonus in my books! Just remember to log your experiences, no matter how small you think they are now.
Congratulations on your first good projection and here's to many more! 
Good Luck and Safe Travels!

Greetings StrangeDreams
Perhaps you were disoriented because you suddenly found yourself in a strange unfamiliar place? And amid a group of unfamiliar people. This has happened to me during several OBEs and it can be very disconcerting.
The energy was most probably either supplied by the people there or was innate to the location itself. Some areas in the astral realms are highly charged with a special energy, sometimes positive energy and other times not so much.

Thanks everyone for your comments.  Contenteo yes I agree the quality was not that good compared to a lot of other ones I've experienced.  However when I refer to it as a good projection I meant the atmosphere and the people.  Unfortunately I've been having bad experiences for months now and some are probably my own fear manifestations and others I believe are the "fear tests" Thomas Campbell spoke of in his video.  I believe it was Lionheart who posted that link to the video.  The last one I had that I believe was a fear test I was chased down by several men who took me in a room and told me they wanted to show me what my body looked like from the inside.  Then put me on a table and began cutting my body up with a table saw.  Things similar to that had been happening so much for so long that when this happened I laughed and said, "it just feels like vibrations".  As soon as I laugh and don't show any fear the scene usually changes. 

Lionheart, Contenteo and Greytravler, all of you have answered questions for me since I first found this site several months ago.  Perhaps you can help me with this last unresolved fear.  So far nothing has happened to me, I'm still here just like you all said so I take your advice to heart.  This last nagging fear is the fear of possession.  I bought Adrian Cooper's book "Our Ultimate Reality" and in it he talks of mediumship and says if you don't know what you're doing, it can be dangerous, possibly fatal.  Recently, my third eye opened up and I see faces everytime I close my eyes.  Most of them look scary as hell, most are not human but some are.  They get so close to my face that I lose focus and now I see a lot of black shadows that look like they are walking toward me.  I sit with my eyes closed for long periods of time just looking at them wondering who they are.  I believe seeing visions is called clairvoyance and not mediumship, but I need to know I'm not in danger.  If I knew I wasn't in danger from those evil looking things I see when I close my eyes, all of my fears would be gone and I feel I would be able to progress better in the astral.  Any comments/answers would be most appreciated.  Thank you.

 First off you can try protecting yourself in a sphere of white light. BELIEVE this will help you and it will. Next, talk to your new friends. Find out why they are there. Are they testing you to see if you have handled your fear. If that doesn't help, try to change the background, you see those faces, now change the background or the surroundings to something that makes you laugh or is less intrusive. You are the "artist", so create. In a Phase session I had when I was first new, my family and I were surrounded by a group of vicious bikers, they were encircling us and getting ever closer. They all had bats, knives and other weapons in their hands. Then the idea hit me that I was playing on "their" turf, so I decided to change the rules. I immediately moved the entire scene to a different dimension, unbeknownst to them. This dimension had a lot of my "friends" lets say. As the bikers kept approaching us, one by one they realized that they were now being approached. But what was approaching them was far scarier then their measly little weapons were. They were totally surrounded in a circle by gigantic Dragons and the Dragons were not too happy with us being threatened. Especially since we create handmade Dragon sculptures here in the real world, lol. So that immediately neutralized the threat. This was one of my first episodes where I learned that we can change the background of our adventures. We can't alter the other entities actions, but we can alter everything around them.

Hi,
Your a true projectionist for want of a better word. In the clairvoyance have no fear. I've been in many events where many people have died and they happened in the physical a week later. Being crushed, drowned burnt shot etc. This side is easy to get used to. Their emotions is another story. Im still here and much stronger.
Heads up to dragons, morph into one and burn your enemies. It feels great. In a nice way of course.

[StrangeDreams]

Lionheart and Szaxx: thank you for the feedback/advice.  I will certainly put it to good use.  I know in a projection I am able to change/create things with my thoughts, but when I'm alert/awake and close my eyes and see those faces, that's another story.  In fact I was trying to practice some visualization exercises a few months back and had to put that on hold because as soon as I close my eyes those faces are there staring at me.  So it's pretty much impossible for me to visualize anything else.  Believe me, I've tried everything to make those things go away.  I've pretty much just accepted it.  A year ago these things would have shocked me but since my "awakening" and with all these wonderful, exciting, freaky, crazy things that I've been experiencing I'm not shocked over anything anymore. 

As a side note...I just read Adrian Cooper's newsletter and he was talking about the significance of 11:11 and how many people have been noticing it lately.  Strange thing is I had a dream a couple of nights ago and it was a fuzzy dream that I don't remember any details of except that not once, but twice in that dream I saw 11:11 in huge numbers like someone was holding up a sign that I couldn't miss.   I thank Adrian for his newsletters and I thank everyone on the Astral Pulse because I don't know what I'd do if I had to experience all this stuff by myself with no information and no advice.

hi strangedreams - i'm wondering if you have ever thought to ask for clarity while feeling disoriented during your projections? altho i have just recently experienced my own fully conscious obe which i shared on another thread, i neglected to mention of how things became somewhat hazy at one point during my obe episode, where up till then, everything had been clear and well-defined. i suddenly remembered to use the technique william buhlman uses, where he demands 'clarity now', and of which was very effective in getting everything back crystal clear for me. i plan on using it again should i end up running into the same issue since i had such great results, and felt i should share this with you - happy journeys!

[StrangeDreams]

Thanks Taz, I will most definitely remember that and try it the next time it happens. 

[Barnowl]

Sounds like a great projection. Well done! Don't worry about the clarity...that will improve with time. What I do, is to say, 'clarity now' and then lose the need. Sort of emotionally detach my self...(this usually works)

...funny thing is, when I do this in the physical world, I manifest easily...probably something to do with resistance.
