Astral Flying?

[goingslow]

Im curious why someone would tell you thats astral flying.  I mean you're not even flying you're stuck.  That kinda threw me off.

Anyway what you're experiencing is sleeping paralysis.  I had this for many many years before I realized what it was.  I thought it was a nightmare and I'd often peel myself off the bed and go outside.  In my mind and until about 7 months ago I thought they were lucid dreams that were triggered by the nightmare of paralysis.

If you read Astral Dynamics there's a big section in there dealing with this subject.  One method he said he uses is to move your big toe. this breaks the paralysis for some.  Another thing you can do is try to avoid sleeping on your back if possible.  Its still a little unclear as to what causes it, but one theory is the presense you feel is your astral body returning to your physical body.  There are other theories though, but ALL of my experiences early on were frightening.  Just like you described. Where you sense something but cant move to get away.

Astral flying is just that.  If you converted your paralysis into an OBE (it is possible even though you're so scared at that point it might not be a good idea.)  Then walked outside and flew up into the air you'd be flying in the astral.  

I really recommend you read astral dynamics though.. When I read it I was floored when I realized it wasn't a nightmare I had been experiencing for 10+ years but an actually phenomenon other people experienced.

good luck

The longer I have my eyes open (if they even are) the more aware of the situation I become. I get those vibrations that everyone talks about. Mine feel more like the "needles and pins"you get when your limbs fall asleep, except it is all over my body. Is this astral flying? I thought I had some sort of weird brain disorder or something, or there was something wrong with me. Please let me know of anything that will help me. Thanks

Your eyes were not open ,you just thing that they were open, you looked with eyes of your etheric body. You etheric body was stucked in your physical body. When somebody have etheric projection he can`t realize that he is projecting , he thinks that he is in his physical body. Everything appears to be the same like in physical world.

Ok, I have just found this website today. It was suggested to me by all of these odd dreams (or whatever they are) could be astral flying. It had begun for me when I was about 4 years old. I would wake up, or it seemed that I was awake, and I was paralyzed. It had stopped after a while. Well at the age of 18, it started again, after my Grandma died (she was a psychic medium by the way). I thought it was a way for her to contact me. I am not sure if it is an actual OBE.
