Hey, thanks for responses...and no I dont carry meat with me  that`s funny though!

I wasn`t sure where to put this, hope it is the right place.

Recently I have noticed dogs behaving in a special way around me... Dogs who have never known me before come running and "laughing" when they see me. One dog forgot all about his owner and his stick and tried to follow me... I told him to go back, but even then he was following me with his eyes for a long long time. Another one saw me approaching from a distance and kept staring like he knew me very well. His owner was quite amazed at this.    What is it with dogs and me? Any ideas? Well, I`ve heard that animals can see spirits and maybe auras... could it be something in my aura?

A week or so ago I was sleeping and then I kind of slipped into that half awake/half asleep state. I was aware of myself laying on my stomach, but also I could see everything around me. Strange, but I found myself in a medieval-looking dwelling, like a huge room with medieval ornaments...it was built of stones and wood. Beautiful actually!  

Well, I have a feeling that this was a glimpse of a past life. Any other ideas? The "dream" felt very real.

Also a few times I had actually been awakened by loud music in my head--it cleared as soon as I woke up. I could have never imagined that kind of music, I`m no composer, but it was totally real and clear in my head. And I loved the tune too! Anybody had this kind of experience? What could that mean?

Thanx  

Thank you, I will  

Yes, that`s exactly why I stopped practicing OBE long time... I felt that it was not really making me a better person. And then...if it has to happen, I will let it happen, but no more practicing. I believe it should be a spiritual experience not a game, otherwise it looses its sense.
These are wonderful experiences though and, of course, I wish I had them more often

Dear Greatoutdoors,

I actually have entertained very similar thoughts, but apparently they have not become my second nature yet.
There is nothing in the world to fear anyway, but still we do..fear is irrational. I like this one: FEAR or False Evidence Appearing Real...

Oh yes, the awe. That`s exactly what I experienced the first time during my LD, awe and fear. Yep, these emotions are just too powerful to control and there is no time for reasoning with yourself. Maybe I can just get used to it with time. Just by taking small steps.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Thanks, guys, great advices  

The voice of silence, I will definitely check out the link u have posted as soon as I get some time. Thank you I guess I my immediate fear was just ceasing to be, disappearing. I`m probably too used to my body and felt very unprotected without it....

Knightlight, I`m trying to have an LD-- the first time I had it it was awsome and I could have had a full blown OBE into a bright golden light surrounding me, but  that time too it was fear that stopped me. Arrrgh....
Looking forward to those great experiences!

hugs,
Ivanda

Thanks
Will try that one!

Thank you for responding. I guess you are right. One needs to be strong and mentally stable to do these things and to get the best out of it, otherwise it can be a disaster.
Will try my best to improve.

I don`t know, guys, I may be wrong, but I think that, if OBE was only our immagination or hallucination, it would be so much easier to achieve.

Tonight I woke up in the middle of the night and for some reason decided it was a good time to AP. I have not tried it for long time. I was on my side and then tried to roll out... I DID IT, I hit the floor and then suddenly panicked--I felt so fragile and defenseless like I may disappear at any moment (silly, I know)  and cease to exist, so, of course, I was back immediately. The fear was so strong that I needed some time to slow down my breathing again.
Another missed opportunity.

How do u, guys, go about fear? I know very well that there is nothing to fear, but when I try to AP it comes out of nowhere and kicks me right back in...    :confused:
Maybe I should first work with my anxieties and build a stronger personality before I try again?

Angie,

thanks for sharing. It is great that AP helped u. When did it happen, is it a real change?
I have suffered from depression and still experience lots of anxiety, but learning and experiencing some of the astral and psy stuff helped me too a lot to feel more optimistic.

Hugs,

Very interesting.

I had a similar experience during my lucid dream a while ago. It was short, but very powerful. I suddenly saw this huge light above me, it was pulling me up and I was overcome by fear...maybe I was afraid of not coming back to my body if I let go. Unfortunately fear was so intense that I cannot even tell what the light was like.... friendly, loving, neutral or what.

love,
ivanda

Keith,

did u get it? What do u think?

I.

 thanks!

Yeah, why would one want to live forever?

In my work I see death often (mice) and it can be such a sweet thing..ending the suffering and, I believe, limitations of the physical world.

I believe that what comes after this life is way better.  

Keithcrash,

I will email u the file in the evening when i get home. I hope it is not just my mind playing tricks on me. I need somebody else to listen to it  

Ivanda

Nick,

thank you very much for the link. I think these guys were on Coast to Coast a while ago. I got really interested after listening to the show.

Keithcrash,

I still need to get an external mic.
I could email u the file, if u like-- I would appreciate any input. How do i reach u?
What kind of recorders are u going to buy?
My IC recorder came with a nice editing program and an USB cable, it is really easy to transfer and analyze the files.  
I`m planning to record at an old church this week. I wish i could go to my old department at KSU where I studied. I feel it is haunted, cause every time I went there at night on my own I heard things and could not shake the feeling that somebody is following me around.

Thanks, guys,

Ivanda

See, I don`t have much experience at all. I believe it is class B recording, although to me it sounds very clear after having listened to it so many times.  
I wish somebody more experienced listened to it and told me what it is.

Also now I think she may be saying: I`m not there.  (probably meaning in the grave   )

I think I got my first EVP. I went to cemetery and recorded in several places. A woman's voice appears in the recording that was made at an old woman`s grave. I wish i could post the clip here, but don't think it is possible.
The voice sounds a little mechanical and appears to say rapidly: I`m out there.  
It was very windy that day... some planes can be heard flying at a distance, but there were no humans around and i had stepped away for a minute or so.

So, anybody at all likes to comment or share?

Hi all,

I have been interested in EVP--electronic voice phenomenon...especially after I listened to Coast to Coast show about EVPs (April 2nd).
I bought me a digital voice recorder and I was wondering where to start?

Anybody had any luck recording the voices? Please share!
Also, do I necessarily need to use an external mic with my IC recorder (Panasonic RR-US360)?

Thanks,
Ivanda

Very good website for depressed ppl. Group is very supportive. They helped me a lot when I was miserable.

Love,

Also, Ivanda, that's not very easy for me to do because I'm a liberal agnostic (I was a strong atheist for many years beforehand), and I am not good at having faith in deity at this present time.

Gaarden,

I was just sharing my experience with depression. U have to find your own way, of course.  try to identify what is at the root of your depression... Something may be missing in your life. I think it is great that u are searching for your own answers!  

I.

Gaarden,

U know your post resonated very much with my experience. I have been depressed on and off for the last 2 years of so, since i came to USA. It has been so severe that I thought I will die; however, now I feel back to normal and much much more empowered spiritually and knowing God closer than ever.

Concentrate on the good things and be kind to yourself. U will surely be able to overcome depression. Every experience has something to teach us. My lesson was to learn to rely on God when everything was crumbling around, also learn to let go of my attachments and experience spiritual freedom. So many good things have come out of it, it is funny actually.    Not that I want to be depressed ever again  

Good luck on your journey!
Love,

Ivanda
