p.s.

Sorry, a question I forgot to ask in my post above: so if I imagine floating away from my body in these instances, where do I float away to (if it is not sure other people exist in these plains)? Do I just float into a space where I can converse with my own mind's projections? Sorry if these are really banal questions, if you guys have good reading for me to do on this topic, feel free to point me in that direction, rather than answer my questions on here...

Thank you for your warm welcome and your insights...

I am currently in two minds about whether my "hallucinations" are simply my mind's projections of ideas, feelings, memories that have nothing to do with any sort of an outside energy, or if they are indeed other people's consciousness intertwining with mine...I am a strange mix of "hard" science (I'm a vet) while quite whole heartedly embracing the more "spiritual" side of life: I have enjoyed Buddhism for some time now, and have dabbled briefly in meditation, yoga etc, however, I have never really explored the idea of astral plains. I must admit for now I am leaning toward it all being my own mental energy, however, the experiences of these "other people" being in my room are so real that I occasionally do question my theory.

As for being brave and facing these "other people", it is actually not brave, it is unfortunately just the way I have to deal with fear: I am terrified of not being face to face with something that is scaring me (since then I at least know what I am up against, otherwise I imagine the worst and fear it for much longer), even if it means opening the door to an angry bear. Insane, I know...

Anyway, thank you for your ideas, I see now I really know very little about all this and should start reading more about it all.

Hello,

After years of thinking I just have very annoyingly vivid/realistic dreams, someone pointed out the concept of astral projections. However, after learning a bit about this, I am not sure I fit in, so if you could please just answer two questions, it might shed light on the matter, since these experiences tend to frighten me to the point of forcing myself to wake up and just get out of bed, and wait it out, no matter how tired I am. They are not in themselves scary experiences, but they give me the creeps for now.

1. From everything I read, astral movement is meant to be light, an out of body experience. In the mornings, after my boyfriend goes to work and I wake up briefly, I sometimes slip into a what is best described as a hallucination: I feel completely awake, I can physically feel everything around me, I am lying in my bed, and the only way I realize that I am not awake is because I start feeling a weight on my bed or on me, or feel a person just beside me, yet still out of view...The two things are horrifying for me, yet I stay calm since I am the type of person who needs to face my fears in order to survive the moment. Since I can't move much during these times for some reason, and because my body feels heavy, and I can just about move my head and hands, I ask them to come into my field of vision, so we can talk it out. It is usually someone I have never seen before, but nothing scary, we then tend to have a somewhat meaningless conversation (I ask them if there is any problem, and they tell me a few of their issues) and then they disappear and I wake up properly (well, I tend to instantly then go back to this other state of mind and repeat the whole process again with another person). Over and over and over again, I can't stop it, it is as if I am on heavy drugs.

The question is can it be astral if I feel so heavy, can't really move much, and am very aware of my body, and essentially stuck in my bed?

2. A few times I have "met" my boyfriend there, he was usually distressed (since we were going through some tough times then) and I would console him and cuddle him. It was ridiculously real, I could feel, hear, smell, see him...This was while he was at work, presumably awake, and he has no "recollection" of meeting me like that.

So the question here is whether it is possible to meet people in the astral planes that I know and that have no recollection of it, and are awake at work at that time?

Thank you!
