What's up with those astral dogs? I'm convinced dogs have a rich inner life which involves running around their immediate neighborhood, causing all sorts of ruckus.

Powerful experience, thanks for sharing.

I love George. 

Cool experience, thanks for sharing. 

Hello there, quite synchronous as I came across your kickstarter page yesterday, and now I see this posted here. I'm going to read the first chapter in the next few days.

I see. The way I am currently conceptualizing it is the (Multi?)Universe created us as individual units of itself to have the experience of evolving from physical matter though the higher dimensions, until we eventually reunite with all that is.

Seems like a lot of people get caught up with human drama and stuck in the lower, less creative, dimensions.

Imagine the creator decided to destroy all life on Earth in the flick of an eye, and everyone on Earth automatically upgraded from physical reality to the astral reality. It would take some people quite some time to realize anything is different.

Intriguing video with some interesting theories. 

This dude needs to talk with Bashar. 

Aye, liked building taking place.

MDM, In your book you mention the "construction sites" found in the non-physical locations closer to the Earth dimension. I've came across this as well. What do you think this symbolizes?

Funny you mentioned the power lines, I was just about to bring that up. I finished the first part of your book and I can also attest to having power lines in an OBE where they aren't in PR (although I never experienced them crisscrossed). I think I may have experienced this before being influenced by Monroe's work as well. 

Your book is wonderful by the way, I recommend it to everyone on this forum. It has rekindled my interest in meditation and I have been dedicated the past week. 

So let's start a fundraiser and organize it! We can make it into a documentary movie. 

Thanks for your feedback on the track, cosmomautt. It's good to learn that my efforts paid off. Have you used the mantra OM chant or any other mantra chant whilst having an OBE? This is what convinced me that the OM in conjunction with the beat would be more successful. My wife uses it now for some of her selected clients as part of her psychotherapy to get them to reconnect.

I have meditated once in a lucid dream (I usually repeat the mantra Om Mani Padme Hum) but this caused me to wake up. I will have to try it the next time I am lucid (it's been a few weeks :/). Your mp3 was very good, I felt like I kept getting sucked deeper and deeper. There was a bell at one point which scared the bejesus out of me, but that is because I am always going fight or flight (it's a problem I'm working on.)

That has been my experience as well (albeit relatively limited). It seems the more objective realities can still contain subjective elements, for we are co-creators of the reality as conscious inhabitants. So it is not this or that, but this and that.

MDM, I used your 30 minute trance mp3 and got into a very deep trance last night from a waking state. My body went numb and I started to see flashes of colorful lights and at time what looked like an internet page with a search engine. I have a lot of trouble getting into the trance state from waking, so your mp3 has been the best one I have tried yet. 

Maybe all of those lucid dreams where I had trouble flying I was really being held back by a consensus belief system. 

With Lucid Dreams there is usually some form of narrative attached, you are aware that you are dreaming, but you follow some sort of script coming from the subconscious. I have often noticed when using Lucid Dreams as a platform for OBEs by focusing on an object or on the ground until full clarity or waking awareness is established, that the dream narrative disintegrates or dissolves. OBEs take place in consensus environments shared by others. Lucid dreams largely consist of dream content or at least create a dream overlay or a dream projection within the consensus environment. The way I see it is a bit like somebody sitting at a desk in the office supposedly working, but in his mind he may be in a different place altogether. I don't know whether any of you have, but I have come across people during OBEs I identified as sleepers, involved in something else without being present, kind of absent minded.

Yes I have noticed this! People just walking around in the street like they are sleep walking. I wonder if we all go out-of-body to what Robert Bruce calls the real time zone (RTZ), and then we dream from there (enter a more subjective focus of consciousness).

I like your line of thinking Rudolph.

After having about (75?) lucid experiences since I first got into this type of stuff in 2008, I'd say I still can't draw a line between the two. I think they mesh together, the defining factor being the varying degrees of subjectivity and objectivity.

I have had quite a few experiences where I had all of the classic OBE exit sensations but I ended up in what seemed to be entirely subjective realms (i,e, my town being very different inhabited by random people and people I know).

I've had the experiences where I seemed to become conscious I was "dreaming" during the course of an OBE, and I was able to be conscious in truly alien worlds, with animals I have never seen before and on beautiful beaches - which are completely out of my conscious minds realm of thought.

On my blog I recently started I try and call all of these experiences "NPEs" - non-physical experiences. In short, I haven't found a neat way to separate my experiences and many seem to merge into each other any contain elements of both OBEs and LD. I don't think it really serves any practical purpose to obsess over and try to separate the two either.

Good job man! I've had at least two experience where my room was very dark as you describe.

That video was amazing! I am so happy I came across this. You put a lot of clarity into all of this stuff. You said some things that really hit home for me: The idea that creation is happening every moment, and we are active participants.  Was that artwork yours? Those images were absolutely beautiful. 

I'm saddened when I see people here or other forums creating these dividing lines in their experiences where they label LD's as "just a dream".

Yea, I think the major problem in regards to that is a lack of consistent vernacular when we talk about this stuff. Many people (especially beginners) relate higher lucid awareness experiences to OBEs and lower to Lucid Dreams, but many of us know this is hardly the case.

Cool site MDM, I'm going to check out this video now.

Interesting technique! I'm going to give it a shot. I met my dead Grandfathers in a few lucid dreams. They are so cool. In a recent one my Grandpa looked a lot younger too! 

Hey Karen, I read a lot about "retrievals" and helping the dead who think they are still alive. Could this have been the case with the two old folks?

One time I became lucid in a dream and I asked to see my spirit guide. I was greeted by an array of white butterflies.

Agreed. 

Just stumbled across your blog again Karen. I hope you don't mind, I liked your blog from my blog as a "recommended link.' Keep up the good work, I enjoy following your experiences.

Congrats man! I've had my best success in the morning after waking up too.
