Bit freaked out... in a good way... but freaked out

[chad]

Hi,

I've been interested in Astral Projection for quite a while... well just over a year - at least that's how long I've been a member here. Nothing really happened and I was a little confused (and sceptical if I'm completely honest) about Astral Projection and Lucid Dreaming.

So anyway the whole not rolling over thing etc did produce some results and I'd tried a couple of apps on my phone. Rushing sounds slight OBE stuff, so I knew a bit... I'd read a stuff about other realms, more about travelling about this world or simply finding yourself outside of your body in your room floating - but again, it's pretty easy to be sceptical about this sort of stuff.

For 6 months or so though I really haven't though that much about the whole thing.

However, I didn't expect last night's experience.

I woke up around 4am which is very unusual. I'd had a bunch of good news over the past week, so I suppose I was just excited about the coming weeks, but after about 30mins thought I'd try and get back to sleep, but rather than rolling over onto my side just lay on my back and fought the urge to roll over. after a bit and trying to work out whether I'd be able to differentiate between AP and LD... suddenly I feel as though I'm outside my body and there's a really bright light, sort of 11 o'clock/North West, but I'm telling myself not to go to the light but not to remain in the dark - which was a bit confusing. And then I open my "eyes" and saw this nebula, shining around the side of a planet and I'm telling myself that this is the primordial soup... and tears are pouring down my face, which ultimately drags me back to my bed... but it's not like I'm dragged through the galaxy/universe down into my bed Google Maps style.

So this morning I checked out Astral Projection and nebula - although I checked nebulas first as I though it was a silent 's'... only none of the stuff I've read or watched mentioned nebula(s) - plurally or singularly - But I wanted to write down my experience rather than have it moulded by other stories. It was incredible, and the tears pouring down my face were very real. I have heard the term "primordial soup" before - so this wasn't something out of the blue, and I saw the nebula stuff NASA released 18 months or so ago. I didn't know that you could project into space!!!

I just wanted to know whether any of you have had similar experiences, if it's a particular place... if it's "normal" - which as there seems to be other stories might imply it is. Obviously I'll read the other accounts, but wow... it was amazing!!!

Hi,
I'd like to tell you that " bit freaked out...in a good way...but freaked out" is an emotion or a feeling. Many times in my life, I could not remember circumstances, but rather the feeling the circumstances brought on. The feeling: " bit freaked out...in a good way...but freaked out is" is probably the best way through words, that I can describe the feeling I've been getting daily for the past 18 or 19 days. I projected about 2 days ago for the first time in my life. I was introduced to, or rather really focused on astral p around 20-25 days ago. And that was exactly how I felt when I read up on it, there was something about the information that cause a MASSIVE tingle on the inside of my body that travelled through me like a lighting bolt, hmmmmmm   bit freaked out...in a good way....but freaked out

I knew it was real, I needed to know how to get there, I put my whole life, business, marriage and everything on the back burner. Throughout my journey to and through  the front door, everyday I had that feeling emitted, but it emitted stronger and weaker in a very interesting manner. What I mean by that is "a bit freaked" out grew stronger from day 1 of attempting ap to about day 12 of attempting ap, while "in a good way" grew as well.

But from day 13 a "bit freaked out" emotion lessened more every day as "in a good way" remained on a steady growth. The time I saw myself out of body day 18 or 19 There was zero freaked out emotion and it was ALLLLLL Good!

Can't say I've been there,to the place u described,  I don't doubt for an instant that it exists, but I can associate to that feeling you described in subject line. I've been looking for a way to describe it. Thanks for your help! Good luck...

Have fun, your belief is everything!

That is an amazing experience. Congratulations!

Hi Chad and Welcome.

It sounds like you had an incredible introduction in to the non physical reality. Belief isn't a requirement to have an OOBE but it is required to learn and grow from them. For now, don't over analyze anything and be ready and open to have some more experiences.

I haven't yet seen anything exactly how you described but the emotions you felt are very common, not only for a first time but for any exceptional projection. Personally, I hope I never lose that sense of awe and wonderment.

Meeshatech- OOBE are amazing but they're nothing compared to the feeling you get when you apply the lessons learned in this physical reality. I know exactly what you mean by putting life on the back burner but we can't do that very long. Life awaits and you have a lot of it to do.

Thanks guys... and glad my rambling sort of made sense!

I've been looking about, and oddly enough (given the whole nebula primordial soup thing) this has been the closet thing I found to what I saw http://astrowright.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/moleculespectra-crop.jpg (clearly without the descriptions) and as said with a planet (really couldn't make out anything that could define it - or would have a clue as to what it would be if not the more obvious Earth, Mars, Saturn or Jupiter (the whole ring thing would have offered some idea I guess!)) taking up most of the left bottom from what I could see.

Of course, there are other images which look a bit like what I saw:
http://www.cielonocturno.com/imagenes/Latest/M42-L/M42-50-L.htm - but much less red "detail" and I was further back in the distance
http://www.eideticstream.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Nebula_RCW49_04-1024x806.jpg more reddy as per other two pics

Anyway, not holding out for it to happen again soon, but it's got me intrigued!

The sad thing is I feel like I don't know who I can share this with without sounding a bit crazy - outside of this forum (or one like it). That sounds very self concious... but it's honestly how I feel sadly.

Type nebula in google and search images. You may see it there. These are viewed from Earth and your view could be different. Look for a colour match.
Its nothing strange to be light years from home.
Take it in as a natural thing.
Talk to joe public and you may get a straight jacket for Christmas. Its too much for the average person to accept at this time.
Its training ground events, enjoy them even if they are really strange to what you think you know. There's much more that words can't even explain.
Learning all over again for yourself is an experience in itself.
Embrace it with no fear at all. There's lots more than seven wonders awaiting you.

Most of us feel the same way and I know I certainly do. This forum is all I need as far as venting goes but it's a shame that we can't spread the goodness to our friends and family without sounding loony to them. And once they think you're a nut job not much will change their minds. Oh well, it's their loss.
