I'm not 100% on astral projection, how it is achieved, what it is technically considered to be / mean, or why some people seek to achieve it.

Like most people, I have had dreams of flying. I have also had dreams of being in space. I have also had dreams whereby I have not flown, high as birds do or as the sky as such, but have been able to levitate. I have also had dreams of floating above myself - watching myself sleep. I have also dreamed of watching myself as a child, meeting face to face and then exploding into the stars. Are any of these things considered to be astral projection, or is it only considered astral projection if you make a conscious effort to achieve it? Just interested to know your opinions, and if there is an 'official' view

Hey buddy just wanted to say Hello 

NO !!! Every time I type the word I mean it comes up as 'dirty' I'm not typing dirty I'm typing ess, aitch, eye, tee tee, why, why does it DO THAT !??!

Jeeeeeesus that was supposed to say "dirty" not "dirty" and I tried to modify it and I couldn't and then I quoted the whole damn thing when I didn't mean to ! SORRY !!! Having an attack of total doofus time I got some sleep, SORRY !

I'm sorry to hear that you are feeling depressed. It is not a nice place to be.

The trouble with a sad heart is that it's difficult to fix rationally. This said, one of my lecturers once said to me'

"You can learn through wisdom or woe, the choice is yours"

And the choice is yours. You can choose to be wise, to hold your head up, to be positive, to look forward to life's adventures, to take opportunities, study, work, travel, go to gigs, eat nice food, enjoy all the good times. We all have dirty days too, some more than others, and these are tough, but you just need to ride them out. The good days are all the sweeter because of them.

There are good times ahead. But if you tell yourself you can't be happy until you find someone else to make you happy, then you will miss all of those good times because you will be closed to them. You will make the same mistake again. You will meet someone and rely on them for happiness, and when they don't meet your expectations, (nobody can make you happy all the time) you will be disappointed, and sad, and so it will continue, until hopefully one day you will get it through your head that you are the only person that can make you happy. This, my friend, is learning through woe, and it sucks.

If you want to learn through wisdom, please take my advice. Scrunch up all the negative thoughts in your head, pull all the sadness out of your heart, scrunch it up into a ball along with all the negative thoughts and throw it far away. It's gone. Now you have space in your heart, and in your head, for happiness and contentment. Take a deep breath, relax. Open yourself to life. There are good days ahead, I promise. Make sure you make the most of them, because life is too short to waste. Be the best person that you can be, enjoy yourself, and when you do meet someone, enjoy that too. But most of all just chill, take one day at a time, do stuff you enjoy, the rest will follow. Make the decision today, to enjoy the rest of your wonderful life. Sending you much love and healing.

Thanks for your responses. I don't really expect anybody to give me an absolute true and correct answer as I don't think that anybody really can. I suppose I just want to share more than anything. This kind of thing, though not this exact thing, has happened throughout my life, and now I'm older and questioning things in different ways, I kind of want more answers ! I get a bit stressed out when reading / watching documentaries about energy, psychology, brain phenomena, spirituality ... the truth is I don't really know much about all of the different yet inter related fields. I feel like things will reveal themselves, um, when they reveal themselves. Like nobody could fathom a lightbulb who didn't know about electricity, and how could you explain electricity if you didn't know the right words like positive and negative and electrically charged etc? I'm no expert on science, and I'm no expert on spirituality, but I do think that there are a lot of things yet to be discovered and revealed that will enrich and make more sense of our lives. At the moment I feel that we cannot make sense of them, because we do not have all of the parts of the equation. I just wonder why I feel like I know this yet have no explanation. I suppose I feel better when I try not to think about it too much. So many religions, I feel, spend so much time looking to a spiritual place, when I think that they may be much better human beings if they spent more time looking around at their fellow man and doing more to be helpful and kind to them. You know, actually living in this moment, on this earth, instead of looking to another place already. If we all have another place, I'm certain we will find it one day, but for the moment, I think I like concentrating on being a good human being, right here, right now. Though it is nice to be reminded that there is something else, that is good, which is how it feels I suppose when these things happen. I don't really talk much about the dreams I have (when I am actually in space ,on space ships, or in, of all places, Azarbaijan or somewhere nuts) I also have a lot of dreams about war. Sometimes I can see lots of ships in space, and they are not nice at all. Sometimes I can see into space, from earth, like I have telescopic vision, and what I see isn't nice at all. These dreams terrify me. But, the nice ones make up for it. I don't even know where to begin with them. So I know this isn't the place to discuss different matters such as dreams and so on, I should find the correct topic or start a new one, and it's not astral projection as such, but I think it's all related. So sorry about the rant, I've not actually communicated any of this for 31 years so it's good to find somewhere that I can get it out. Thanks for listening and I hope you are all well. Next time I'll start a new and relevant discussion.

Hi ! I need some advice. I have some questions. I have had some unusual experiences. I typed a few things into google and I came across an old forum chat from 2009, which is how I found this site.

Basically, to cut a very long story as short as possible, I've always had crazy spacey dreams, and for a while suffered from sleep paralysis. Then, one day about a year or so ago, I kind of dreamed, but was aware of the fact that I was in my bed, of a chorus of angels singing. The chorus was incredibly loud, the pitch just got higher and higher inside my head and I felt it in my chest. In my minds eye I saw lots of angel faces, pink and gold. When I fully opened my eyes (the pitch was so high I physically couldn't deal with it) I realised that actually I was arched in my bed, my chest lifted up and I was crying. I felt as though I had been filled with golden light and I just sobbed for a while.

Then last week, a similar thing happened. I was in bed and kind of half woke up very early in the morning. I was laying this time more on my front than on my back. I was dreaming but I was aware that I was dreaming, I could feel the bed sheets on my skin. So anyway I dreamed about walking through a very old gate, there was a very small man's face and I remember thinking "these monks were tiny" so then I hear a male voice, it has a choral sound like before but this time it is tuneful, not just one note getting higher and higher like before. More male voices join in and it is so beautiful, as the intensity of the chorus grows my body begins to vibrate, my insides, my brain, I feel a little panicked for a few seconds like I might just float off or die, or my chest might explode, but the voices are so beautiful, I just relax and let the vibrations go through me. It does get so intense however that it just kind of stops. My eyes are partially opened during all of this and I can see the morning light in the garden through my window. It was so powerful I can't even tell you.

I am not religious. I have been working with the Reiki energy a bit more than normal but not a lot. I was attuned to the first level 2 years ago now after spending a few years thinking about doing it. I have been considering doing the 2nd level but have been very busy at work.

What does this mean? Am I mentally ill or going to have a brain seizure or something? I read a few articles about body vibrations and sleep paralysis and everyone was recommended an MRI scan. It didn't actually occur to me that there may be something physically wrong with me, and that that might be causing these experiences, now I'm a tad worried.

I don't really know anything about what is going on so could anybody perhaps enlighten me somewhat?

Thank you

Gilly K
