Lately I haven't been getting nearly enough sleep. For the past week or so I've stayed up till 3 am and waking up at 9 am. I've started to notice that something about it is taking tole in my dreams. Before I get into this "dream", let me first explain a few things. I've been struggling with religious beliefs for some time, use to be a big "Jesus Freak", and not like one of the Christians who goto church on Sunday and that's it. I was really trying had to correct the errors I've made in my life. I even recall once where I was in a meditative state, and I asked "Jesus" how to get through to more people I still remember his exact words, "through your actions." Well, since then I've fallen off from that, except for last night. Normally in my dreams I'll find myself at the same field, I don't know why a field is my safe zone in my dreams but is. Last night I saw a man, one I didn't recognize, but looked a lot like a stereotypical Jesus, and even had "God" written on his forehead. I approached me and instantly I fell into a vision of a burning house. Later in the dream, me and friend found ourselves hiding, and taking shelter in a cave. The cave actually started to crumble, and the Earth itself was pulling me and him through the unknown territory we where in. The Earth itself pulled me to the burning house, which was actually my friends house. I'm worried because my friends brother in real life has some mental issues, and is on prescription medicine to cure his physcosis. Ever since I woke up today I've notice an old view has sparked back. It's hard to explain, I can tell the difference without the difference being there if that makes any sense. I'm not saying this for any reason, not trying to convert anyone because I find its too hard to convert even myself fully. It's that I declined the possibility, it's just in life everyone finds an answer for themselves, and that's why I'm still searching. But has anyone else had any dreams like this? Anything with this "Jesus" figure? Please I'm open to any discussion.

@Xanth, thanks for that post. I see now how the "focus" of a method actually works. I was having trouble with the "Rope Method" because the "focus" wasn't something I could fully engage mentally. I had too many questions that would pop up during the exercise. For example when I would start climbing and reached the ceiling where would I go from there? I couldn't simply keep restarting from my bed. So I see now that I need to find a technique where I can engage myself so much into my imagination that my body is no longer processing information from the physical.

I'm interested in seeing how similar, as well as how different each individual method might be. Just explain your method, as well as the time of day and maybe any other things you might do as a preparation.

Well since I've started Astral Projecting, I've only had one experience with it so far (other than the times I've done it when I was a child) For the most part I've tried the Rope technique, and the  "Nothing" method, which has gotten me to the vibrations. But the thing I'm most fascinated with is the mind states I find myself while trying to Project. After some time I find myself as if someone has snapped their finger and I'm so much more aware. I notice I've lost track everything that's happened, but I know for a fact I haven't fell asleep. I'm just very puzzled on the projection methods. I try to notice things, but it doesn't lead to anything. I get to the vibrations but I'm not sure what to do during them. Please any help?
