Recently I've taken up an interested on this subject. It's been a while since I have been into any of this. Recently after a few failures, I finally had some kind of experience this morning. My experience began with me realizing that my body had fallen asleep (no vibrations). I began to move around in darkness, ready to begin my adventure. What for a brief seconds started out in my present room shifted very quickly to my old house. Because all of my previous experiences happened there, I convinced myself I was possibly having an ethereal projection. But I wanted to get to the astral - a place I feel I have not yet reached consciously, despite having numerous ethereal projections years ago. At first I tried summoning portals, but I was unable to. My environment seemed as if it didn't want to respond to my commands. Shortly after I found a dream character, and asked it how I could reach the astral, and after some brief instructions I did just that. I won't go in detail because the process sounds absurd, but maybe it symbolized something... I felt my dream fading, and knew I had to hurry it up. By the end of the process I was almost out of the dream, but once I finished, the environment felt much more stable.

Anyway... once I created my portal I placed it on the ground, took a few steps back, ran back up to it, and jumped in. As soon as I jumped in, I noticed I was in a red tunnel, with objects that actually flew by (parts of my drumset - I actually opened one eye slightly and physical was merging with dream). I experienced a sensation of intense free fall. I fell through the tunnel into a black void... but at the same time, I noticed I was viewing my physical room. One of eyes was still slightly open! Everything in my room had a wavy look to it. If you have ever seen heat outside on a hot day where it kind of causes a rippling in the air, that's what I seeing everywhere in my room. I was also being bombarded by heavy vibrations. They got so intense I couldn't take them, and forced myself out of it (which was actually very difficult suggesting I was in a state of deep sleep paralysis).

So I don't really know what to make of this. The first part was quite dream-like (I feel like it was a dream now recalling it), but at the end it seemed like I was on the border of a real projection (not astral, but an ethereal one). I saw my physical as it was, blending in with the non-physical.

Well... still trying to get there!

Yes, rapid heart beat is a sign that you are very close to AP, but it also means that you are not relaxed enough and still conscious of beating heart and breathing etc.

Other times it means that its not the actual heart but 'heart chakra' that is pulsating fast, its harmless and should stop in few minutes. If you have enough practice and manage to remain conscious at that time, you will see that the pulsations are coming from something non-physical and the actual heart is calm and beating normally.

If you feel that its not one of the above, then quickly abort the process and see a doctor asap, because it can be a weak heart....Proceed only if all tests come favorable.

The heart chakra feeling, is not in any way comparable to a normal beating heart. The one time it happened to me I felt like I was literally going to explode... it was unbearable. It was not a fun, and a very scary feeling.

Sometimes when I'm in SP, I kind of "rush" the exit. At times I find great difficulty exiting, so I keep trying, and trying, until finally something gives. But when this happens I just seem to float in a black void, or just overall have a very low level experience. But sometimes I find if I stay in SP I get overwhelmed, hence my rush to exit. Sometimes the vibrations gets way to intense which translates into my heart rate going up causing me to wake up. Other times I'll get overwhelmed with a tickle... it's hard to describe but it's something that starts out light. It feels like something is poking into me, and it's gets stronger... and stronger until it's just unbearable.

Anyone got any advice?

Thanks.

I have never seen a cord myself during my experiences.

It's logic never made to sense to me - "used so you can find your way back to your physical body", you never leave your "physical body" in the first place.

What focus is when you start to mildly hallucinate, or get intense rushes after you've reached F10, (and I mean feel like I moving at the speed of light) but don't actually get anywhere?

I find that I sometimes get stuck in Sleep Paralysis, where I am just unable to roll myself to the side, and unable to begin any kind of lucid experience. Usually if I start any kind of hallucination or intense rush (depending on how much this rush excites me because they are FUN), I'm usually good to go.

I remember once I was stuck in it for quite a long time, and I told myself, forget this, I'm going to sleep, and oddly I could not lose my lucidity no matter how hard I tried. It was like I had a full-blown waking consciousness during it, something I wish I would have the majority of my lucid (or semi-lucid) experiences.

My problem was I've lost a lot of interest, hence me not attempting = long dry spell. It's getting boring just being in my room and then trying to go through some warp tunnel to reach another reality and failing. What happened to those first few amazing experiences I had I don't know what my purpose of doing this anymore is. At first it was for exploration and interest - but that's all passed. I read about your amazing experiences tvos, but I've seemed to just hit a "wall" where I'm not progressing, I'm actually going backwards.

Then this one happened spontaneously. I used to get those maybe twice a year.

"Just a dream?"

Yeah, a lot of the other ones I had did not provide this heightened sense of... I can't even really describe it - just that feeling, which is actually a scary feeling imo when you aren't used to it.

And I wasn't very lucid before this happened so it wasn't like I focused onto achieving something like this.

I think a few months back I was complaining at how fake my experiences had become. It started out extremely realistic, the first 2-3 were great. They had the same exact feeling I'm trying to explain above. It's like I was given hyper awareness of my surrounding, along with that heightened sense of... something. After that they all became "dream like". I lost the hyper awareness, as well as that "feeling", even though I was very lucid at times.

Then this morning, without effort, it just happened

Edit: The "feeling" is like this strong sense of energy completely around you, that you a part of it and it is a part of you. That's the best I can describe this feeling.

So, I'm having this weird dream, and I come out of it. I notice I'm Sleep Paralysis but I don't really care because I'm being bombarded with heavy HI, and on the verge of falling back into a dream. In the background of all of this HI, I hear a voice that says "you will now have a full blown out of body experience through egg waves" or something along those lines.

I feel myself fall through my bed, except this isn't like the normal. I feel intensely buzzed as I'm laying on there on the floor. My hearing is super amplified. I have a this "sense of feeling" as if I could feel my own aura, or some kind of force field that extended around me in all directions - which made me feel incredibly vulnerable. I then freaked out, because I hadn't felt this since my first few attempts which I experienced 9 months ago. It was almost a new feeling to me all over again.

I'm now almost convinced that many times I thought I was having an obe, was just a dream.

Ah ok, I guess I was confused because somewhere they said

"yellow gives off a blue aura"
"blue gives off a yellow aura"
"green gives off an orange aura"
"orange gives off a green aura"
and etc..

So I thought they were serious there. You are right, I did not read the entire thing

I've looked up website, about how to see and auras, and what aura color each color gives off. And there is one thing flawed - the aura colors are the inverse color of the object you look at.

So I mean, is seeing auras all about just noticing the image burn you recieve from staring at an object for a long time?

If I stare at a red circle, after a minute or so, I will start to see a cyan halo around the circle. Supposidly the websites claim this is the aura. If I shift my eyes, I still see the cyan color, but this time I see the entire circle because I am no longer looking at the red circle anymore. Same goes with looking at a cyan circle. I will see a red halo, then shifting my eyes I will see an entire red circle.

Someone explain to me how this is an aura, because as far as I am concerned, this is just image burn - I don't know the exact process of how it occurs, but it has something to do with the brain balancing and it still seeing the inverse color after starting at a color for a long time.

You definently have more then two REM cycles. I've had nights where I could recall 5-6 dreams (waking up briefly once in a while helped).

I did encounter the tunnel again.

This one was slightly different. I'm starting to have very long lucids (improvement at last!), so I have time to pull it off.

This time went I went through a mirror, I ended up in a similar looking tunnel. This one was thinner, the colors were slightly more dull, and I was moving super-fast with a high pitch squeeling noise. As I moving through it, I think I fell out of it or something, because I never reached the end. If you picture the tunnel on a 2D screen, the view of the tunnel sort of went upward - like I went through the floor, and watched the tunnel above me for a second or two before it was replaced entirely by another complete scene (I don't remember exactly where, it was easier a snowy mid-urban place with a dark blue/purple sky, or a regular daytime city). I don't remember which came first after I left the tunnel, I just know those are two areas I was in afterward.

Still aiming to reach the end!

I pulled off a WILD this morning, and I was back at my house when it began (at college right now). Anyway, I sat there thinking what to do, and I remembered - "oh yeah, I want to go through a mirror". I remembered in an older LD, when I went through a mirror, there was a big square one ontop of my neighbor's roof (silly subconscience), and I went through that one and ended up in a white void. So I went through my window, went across the street, and managed to get myself up on the roof by floating up in swimming-like moition. Well there it was again, so I floated up above and went through it. Going through it felt really weird, and as soon as I did I felt my speed accelerate and everything went black. I was moving fast in a tunnel, that had black walls, with various colored circles on them. And I was I moving, I just freaked! I guess I was afraid of what was the end of the tunnel but I freaked and ended it! I woke up bummed because this was going to be SOLID & LONG experience. I could tell right from the start how into the WILD I was initially, and then my fear got the better of me. So what do you all usually find at the end of the tunnel? (For those who have gone all the way through).

I'm not a big believer on OBEs, but what I do believe is possible is that dreams are another plane existance, and there are various levels of them, and this A-Plane that you all seem to talk about (not EP, like all my WILDs would be EP), is just a higher level.

Was I close to having my first ever what many you of you would call an AP?

Locale I*  76  (1.7%) An alternate timeline in this universe (Locale I). An alternate timeline is often called an alternate or parallel universe. An alternate timeline is a parallel Earth with a different history. Two examples of this are – a history where the United States never entered World War II and a history where a powerful pre-Columbus American Indian empire traded with Europe.

I would love to see that.

Well then there's me who doesn't really believe there is a difference between a WILD and an EP/AP, maybe because of my lack of realistic experiences the past few months. But I more believe the dreams can be a portal to these spiritual planes, or maybe dreams are a part of it already

The first few WILDs I performaned were amazingly real, like full blown EPs with hyperwareness, now they are all sort of me... meh... very dream-like, which usually always take place in my general area of sleeping (within one mile or kilometer).

I have tried going to through mirrors in a dream (I've only done this twice), and one time ended up in a white void, and another time I ended up in a black void (possibly a tunnel because I was color streaking by and I was moving at a painfully fast speed). Still working on this I'm also working on a shared dream, my little brother has finally gotten around to having a few of his own WILDs lately (I guess SP runs in the family?)

I've tried this and just don't even close.

It's like my focus splits and I still have a small part of it paying attention to the physical world even though I don't want to

I almost never see anyone when exitting. I also feared that, because it seems like at that point, you have the least control over what is happening. Once I'm settled down, and can actual move around and control  myself better, seeing other "people" does not bother to much.

There was only once where I've seen a person in my room, once where I saw a person in a random location when it began.

But I all think it's a dream anyway... (but I do believe in the possibilty of the dreamscape being another level of existance)

I know what you go through.

Sometimes when I fall into SP, and make myself snap out of it, a few seconds later I'll start getting pulled back into it without any control. There was night, from about 2AM to 6:30AM, I was uncontrollable, random SP everytime I woke up and fell asleep. I had a good night though because I ended having like 5 LDs because of it.

Another night, I had one that really caught me off gaurd. I was actually trying to stay up til 4:30 (I woke up at like 3:30AM, and had to go wake someone up at 4:30AM, so I decided to try to stay awake), so I'm laying there watching a repeat basketball game since nothing better was on. Anyway, at around 4:00AM I decided to just "close my eyes so I could rest a little" - big mistake. I drift off and when I come back I'm in full-blown SP. The fluterring feeling and very loud noise accompanying was very scary. I opened my eyes, looked around briefly, saw the clock said 4:04AM, barely saw the TV - it was kind of glimpse before I was thrown back in. I felt myself floating up swaying side to side, and then I forced myself out of it because the fluttering feeling was just to much. When I broke out of it the clock said 4:05AM - amazing how much happens in such a short period of time. I laid back down and immediatly felt light fluttering and was partially paralyzed, I could sort of wiggle my body like a worm still, and I got myself out if, took and walk, and stayed awake until 4:30AM. I crashed after that no problem

I envy you - you such amazing experiences.

I'm still on the random lucids that don't really make any sense.

hey stick it out till 2012 atleast, gotta see the biggest fireworks show in the galaxy!

Hmm... do they give out free shirts? I'd like to take one to the afterlife so everyone knows I was there to see it all end

This makes me think of String Theory - that everything is made of vibrating little strings of energy, and the universe vibrates in harmony at a certain frequency.

What if that energy was to vibrate "out of harmony" and take on a new range of frequency - new dimension, new plane of existance? Who knows.

Oh, and I am definently near paralyzed in SP. I feel like I can very slowly move my limbs, but in reality, I cannot. I've experimented, where it felt like I took my left and right arms over my chest and crossed them in resting position. When I broke out of it, they were laying down by my sides where they were initially.

thenoob please do not do it! I know you don't want to hear that, but please just hear me out.

What if the entity you are talking to is a disguised demon! He might play you into thinking he's a great person or entity, or whatever he is. If you and him agree to staying "there" forever - what if it ends up being a hellish place - please for the sake of your own soul, think twice before doing something like this.

And about re-incarnation... I don't think it's real. I think this is our only trip - we only go around once. Think about it, unless new souls are being created every second by God, which I don't think I've heard from any serious religion, the current amount of existant souls is not enough to supply our exponentially growing population! No one knows for sure that we come back a second time - so make the best of, and live the longest you can incase this is the only time around.

Ok, well after having a LD, I saw this big spider on my roommates bed. I got really scared for a second, but I knew it wasn't real so I just closed my eyes. I opened them again, there it was again, just sitting there. I started at it for maybe 10-15 seconds, saw it dart across the bed, and then I got myself out of SP.

However, when I was physically awake, I blinked, and I saw a purple outline of the spider! Image burn! You know when you look at something for a long time, and than you can sort of see the object's outline (image burn)...

How did this happen with a fake spider!!

And I was awake because I did a RC and couldn't breathe through my nose closed.

Why would leaving the Earth's orbit be hard?

I think I may have dreamt about projecting, but either way, it was a cool experience. I suddenly became lucid at some point, it was actually a FA that believe I somehow caught onto. I was at my house (I'm in college), so I decided to fly out the window. Vision was so clear, it was pretty amazing. I flew up about 300 feet over my neighborhood, and went back down to my street, when I suddenly remembered I always wanted to go through a mirror to see if I could make it into the Astral Plane.

I see a faint light on from the tv across the street at my neighbors house, and decide to go look for a mirror there since I don't really have any big mirror at my place. They ended up having a nice square mirror on the roof (which isn't there in real-life), so I charged at it flying fast and I missed it! I fell through the roof into their home. There was some lady there and another person who didn't notice me, so I look up, see the mirror attached to the ceiling (I guess it was a thick mirror which was both part of the ceiling/roof). I get worried thinking my LD may end so I quickly fly back outside through the roof, and charge again at the mirror. This time - a direct hit! And I go right through... and this was my experience going through it - I got the "OBE" feeling -  well it was more intesne, similar to some sensations I get in SP - and I just saw random colors. It was like I flew into that "3D Blackness void" except it was a "3D White Void" with different tone of red and green that looked like "kaleidoscope vision" vision coming towards me, all around me, and way off in the distance. Everything was sort of... warped, and it looked like there was no limit to the distance around me and that it just went on in forever.

I turn around and can't find the mirror, everything was very confusing, and I got worried thinking "what if I get stuck here" - so I start to abort, and can actually feel myself in SP move very slightly when I attempted to, so I felt confident that I would be ok, and decided to let it continue - except in doing that, I brought myself out of that "Colorful White Void" and was laying some bed (not my own at college or home), and some lady was in another bed across watching me I think. Then it pretty much ended on it's own and I woke up.

Well there it is, my first mirror experience, it was pretty cool, looking forward to more in the future My little bro is going to be jealous He started having some OBEs himself recently, and he told me he was going to find a mirror before me since I kept forgetting to everytime I went lucid - guess not!
