Hi! I have been struggling astral projecting for the past few years. Probably to do with stresses of life etc.. I don't know actually what changed. I still tried to.

However, tonight I found myself in a possible exit. I was completely unaware of my body, even when thinking of how it would feel. I was glad to be detached.
So, I was spinning and then rolled out. I heard a slight high-pitch noise as usual and saw some geometric pattern. It all passed within a second. I then chose to keep
falling, as to not get stuck in my body or losing myself to the experience.

As I kept falling my awareness slowly faded into a dreamlike consciousness. I became less
and less aware. Each time passing a different room deeper and deeper down into the ground(?).

Im wondering if anyone has any insight on how to not fall asleep, while being out of body. It felt like being sedated.

Has anyone suddenly become aware in a sort of "Inbetween"-state, and suddenly everything is bright white light, and the sound of a "click" occurs and it feels as if something just switched. For a moment I thought I changed reality, really felt like something changed. Like a switch turned on, but can't figure out what. Lasted 1 second and brought me out of a Dream.

I need advice on a life-related matter but can't find anyone willing to give me input: https://www.reddit.com/r/Advice/comments/a6z8nl/i_lost_contact_with_a_new_friend_and_need_advice/
Please read it, it is about an amazing friend I made and possibly lost somehow..?

So tonight again as usual I fell in love with some person again in a dream... It happens a few times a year and it is a love I have never felt in real life. Is it just me? I just want to keep living
the dream. Oh my gosh...

So I had a dream tonight involving purchasing food at a store to find out a bottle of some drink turned into two separate bottles. One thinner without the content and one other with the liquid. Apparently this was a problem and they were gonna have me wait with a somewhat long line behind me while they went and got a new functional bottle.... I didn't wanna have people waiting for me so I exited the store and came back and found out I had paid for my food, but since I left for some reason they replaced some of my products with less/lower quality. It made no sense to me and I felt like I lost something and none were being reasonable.

After a while I got to another checkout line with someone of a higher rank in the store. Seemed a bit like a chief. He tried to turn an obvious argument against me as to why they were not giving me what I had paid for. The weird thing is he didn't feel like a dream character and had glowing turquoise eyes and the pupils where more like that of a cat, but more like a line of darker blue and somehwhat transparent. They were beautiful, but this entity seemed to have an energy of knowing it could turn anything around and feed on that energy somehow? Its eyes did not look like that of a snake, cat or a lizard. It was something in between. Yet in the dream I didn't question it or feel scared, still I was aware of the presence of eyes as they shouldn't be. I think something entered my dream..? I vividly remember his eyes because(or atleast did) because his energy affected me in real life and woke me up as I did not accept his way of trying to get his way..

So, recently I have had bad sleep as stated earlier. More and more lately I have been trying to find the sleep feeling, and I have begun to find it. I can now hear voices, music and see visions
as I go to sleep and I remember more of it. This used to be common a few years back for me. Hopefully this will continue.

As I focus on the sleep feeling and the intention of letting through a vision or sound, usually an after-image begins to form and if you relax into it, then a real vision begins. I don't know how to
explain it, it is not really easy every time either. So tonight I relaxed into a vision of a sky of stars beginning to spin. Later I somehow ended up in a vision which turned out like a muted movie and
I was fully conscious trying to focus on the details, as I otherwise will end up back in real life. As the last three times it worked wonders and I followed this "movie" for quite some time although forgot
what I was watching later. Then the movie was shown through a circular hole and I got back into my body and it slightly entered sleep paralysis and I was extremely close to exiting again!

I don't know what has happened but things seem to be going good astral wise right not.

So I have had some bad sleep recently and was awoken my family after 3-5 hours in middle of night and couldn't fall asleep for 1 hour or so.
Eventually I started finding the sleep feeling and I think I decided to lay on the back even though I don't sleep like that anymore and feels somewhat
uncomfortable these days. I started visualizing and suddenly im at an ocean and a tornado coming towards be, suddenly I could feel the tornado spinning my visualized
body with full force. As this happened I started feeling a release of my real body just a little and a little ear souns(very faint). I knew at this point I could intensify this to make
an exit and I got back into a state of void where a weord face started appearing, but I wasn't very scared and continue.


Then shortly after this I exited. I was in a dream-like state because I have trouble opening my eyes or vision without fear of opening real eyes. This time I commanded I go to astral
as I seemingly was in a dream-like state. My vision got clearer and I ended up in my old living place. I started focusing on details and everything worked out great. Looked out the window
and saw the usual things except I saw a heaven-like landscape and colours, also beautiful flowers. Then I started looking at my expected body in this experiene and was zapped back into my body.
I have a lot more lucidity these past two times and can hold the experiences for longer.


Fun fact I saw a method on reddit about stretching your finger to become lucid in your dreams. I remember the person stating in the lucid dream they want to go astral and then they do. That is
what got me into a more lucid state after the exit.

Long time since I had a lucid dream now. I have been sleeping badly the past few days, especially on my side. I ended up falling asleep on my back as few years before. I woke up early morning and had trouble falling asleep again and in these cases only inducing a dream will make me fall asleep. The thing is this time I somehow ended up remaining lucid(I don't remember the entry but think my imagination led to entering it lucid because I remained focused somehow, usually doesn't happen). So in the dream I immediately by feeling started playing amazing music in my consciousness and it was randomly made. Then I started focusing on things in the room to remain there and be more present, it worked. I started seeing a bookshelf with books and could clearly read what a few books were about. I could see clear detail for the staircase, walls and windows. I felt alive, free and relieved as usual. Pretty soon I fell victim to the dream and lost consciousness or woke up.

I almost forgot this but somehow when I woke up I thought about lucid dreams and remembered this. Beautiful experience being back there again. I am going to try this again tonight definitely. I feel I might have found out/found the feeling for beginning to get success with this method(hopefully). Interestingly enough as I went to sleep earlier that night I could hear random music that sounded amazing in my head(I used to have this ability, or at least with more ease 2-3 years back).

So I had a dream filled with some sort of peace tonight. In the nightsky I could see stars/starships forming beautiful patterns and moving lively. The then formed a pattern and like seeing a picture in my mind's eye a picture of beautiful dolphins came into the sky by these stars forming some screen somehow. Later I found myself in another dream up high in an apartment building(modern and expensive supposedly with an amazing view). I could see baloon like ufos hanging in the air a bit above this tall apartment, they were orange/yellow and had a strange feeling to them. I could see maybe a hundred but others could only see like two of them, that goes for both dreams.

So I haven't gotten out of my body consciously for like a year, but it happened the day this site went down. I just kind of rolled out and had no sight, then I tried to open my astral eyes, but was
afraid that would make me open my real eyes turning the whole experience into a dream after exiting the door thinking I have woken up IRL and then loosing my consciousness to a dream :/

I have been doing som wimhof breathing lately on and off and today because my body caught something. After doing the breathing and my body vibrating or something held my breath
for like 2 minutes and thought lets kill this "thing". Suddenly in the black emptiness I had an intuitive weak voice which certainly wasn't mine, it said: "congratulations". When that happened my
objective state of being was gone and I didn't hear anymore than that.. I have never before heard my inner voice so clearly..? Why now?

When do you people the big masses will begin to wake up to higher knowledge such as astral projection? Also how much do you think people will end up on this site
and how much information will they get from here? I know myself in 2012-2013 I usually ended up here, thus I created an account after a while.

So as usual I felt like taking a walk and ended up in my "flower park". I sat down where I don't usually sit because other people were close to my usual spot.
After a while I saw a newspaper in the trash with: "stop looking", as if I should stay there a little longer. As I did and suddenly a woman showed up and sat down next to me.
This is highly unusual in my country and has never happened before(for me).

This woman started speaking in english with me since she thought I was not from my country(I don't look european). Then we spoke my language(the country's language) since we both spoke it.
I don't know if she was high or what, but she was highly unusual but didn't exactly emanate pure love either. She was not like anyone of the regular people you meet, which I told her but she seemed to think of anything in a negative view even though that is not so.

So she asked me where I was from but couldn't believe I was born in the country because of my looks. She kept looking at me with her cold eyes and asking over and over until I said I had parents from different countries, then she was satisfied. She kept saying "be proud of yourself, be proud of who you are". She also kept claiming she could "feel it", she was 100% certain that I carried a lot of baggage. I guess everyone has some and I have had more recently, but was feeling very neutral at the moment. She kept saying she could feel it and I just smiled because it was an intresting experience, but she said "you think im stupid, huh?", which I clealy did not, I don't think like that. She clearly could feel something, but she was not really correct. I mean I was just sitting in the evening in the park looking at flowers before she came, which is not common for people my age I suppose. She also said "don't think so much", I think a lot at times but I was not thinking but rather confused with her statements, which contained wisdom and confusion.


She also seemed to attract random people's attention as someone came right away and asked her for help, but clearly didn't know her(this is unusual). Then someone else passed and she kept saying "she could feel it", and yelled like: "what is it, is everything okay". I couldn't stop thinking she must be pretty "low" if she thinks I am somehow "lower" than her, but she had some sort of wisdom and was so different from people. She kept waiting for me to tell her something deep, like I was keeping some in... She had those real cold eyes, yet her words were speaking with compassion, her voice not. She then had to leave and told me she was there for me or something similar 2-3 times and just left as if the universe will bring her back to me..?


What was that all about? It seemed to have a lot of meaning and felt "strange" somehow, I don't understand how a person like that can exist in our world, because she was so different. Her voice and expressions seemed dead and she was extremely condfident, yet her words had wisdom. I am so confused.. I don't understand anything but there was something to this experience.

So I keep dreaming seeing planets in the sky, big ones. A feeling of higher consciousness too maybe, anyone else get these?
They keep coming through the years.. The planet in the middle was jupiter.

Recently looking out my window not focusing at anything I have accidentally begun to notice a very subtle movement of something looking like, energy or flies or pollen.
At first I thought flies, but the way these things move together is like a conscious being breathing and they are so connected and go in and out in a smooth motion. At first it was
only noticed on one tree, but now two of them. So far only the left top of the trees, it is incredible subtle which is why I noticed it when in a relaxed state of mind. Anyone who can
confirm what this is, I've eliminated flies as they are kind of yellowish and transparent and move in synchronicity like unaffected by gravity and wind.

So I laid down relaxed just seeing where things take me. As opposed to focus on nothing or the sound in my ears, I focused on my blood flow in my neck area.

Shortly after that I saw a shopping cart with a purple aura coming toward me spinning and continuing downwards a hill, felt pretty surreal, realistic, meaningful and different from my night dreams.
A moment later I find myself walking in some body I didn't see. I was walking a way that I would not in "this life" and I could see it was fall and I was walking up a wet hill. That's it. It felt very realistic, especially the last part. It was not intentional to find myself in these segments and felt somewhat different, don't remember what you call it here but I liked it.

In about 2016 I got a bit down looking back into my past which I had previously completely let go. I came up with an exercise to to feel amazingly good every day for 10 minutes to get back on track and I quickly began to heal emotionally. I have been doing this almost every day for 2 years now. I get shivers and feel amazing every time(although off track a bit recently). I just wanted to share what I came up with because I love it and want others to feel the same.


I looked around the internet looking for new and old songs I felt contained a lot of energy, love and positivity. I did this for 2-3 hours and made spotify list. Only really good vibes and lyrics made it onto the list.

Then what I did is I committed myself to for 5-10 minutes a day at least, play a few of those songs that were easy to feel the positive energy in. I had the music on and focused on those positive vibes until the feeling gets stronger(sometimes you feel find it hard to get there, but usually you feel great straight away).

What is also important to do during this time of listening and focusing on this feeling is to visualize a positive place with nature and things you find positive. Visualize in your mind a high vibrant place filled with love in the air, lakes nearby, huge trees with fruit in them. Soft grass on the ground. Maybe some dolphins in the water. Sometimes maybe you invite a celebrity of your choice to come dance with you freely unrestricted by any limitations, maybe you're even flying. You can be alone or add anything you want. Basically daydream but for the sake of only feeling better than you felt before you started this exercise. It is hard to fail when you try to feel better than when you weren't even trying to feel good.


My visualized place originates from the Astral Island people on here keep talking about. A beach in a half circle. There is a bridge a pure blue water and a small island close to it. In the water you will find lovely dolphins greeting you. There is a comfortable chair on the beach in the sand where I sit at dusk. There is a smaller path between jungle from the beach of soft grass leading to a circle inside the jungle with a very big tree. There is a staircase in this huge tree and to the right you will find a similar path to a similar tree. To the left you will find a small lake in the form of a circle which is rather deep. Guess what, dolphins here as well! There is also a steep mountain with a waterfall going down into this small and beautiful lake. Sometimes an extraterrestial may land on a beach surrounding this small lake(extremely small lake, almost like a pool). This place is very detailed, maybe you will see it for yourself if you try to get there or just make your own. Maybe continue on building this place.

Please share your results and your mood!

So, I haven't had any projections for quite a few months, but I have been trying to focus more on it to get back on track(if that would help). I wrote about waking up and paying more attention in my "headspace" recently and it paid of a little.

I was today in a dream similar to this reality but my bed was on the other side of the room and I was  sleeping 180 degrees  towards the other direction. I found myself in my headspace and felt there might be a chance to exit. With some willpower I rolled onto the floor. I couldn't see. I felt my way to the leg of my bed and grabbed it, felt as expected. I then thought about going somewhere as I didn't see anything but gray thick fog possibly(I should just have believed in my sight instead). I then proceeded to my staircase as my thoughts didn't take me anywhere directly, but they weren't very clear either on where I wanted to go. I then was woken up before I made it further down into the house.

I'm just curious if other people here see bright lights that do not exist in "our world" /orbs. I see them often before I see a spider or randomly above peoples heads or anywhere. Usually they are of blue, purple colour, although other happens as well. I might have made a thread on this a few years earlier but I am still curious. Im not quite sure what they are but I started seeing them when I started meditating.

So, watching a video just now I remembered a short segment of a dream I had. I seemed very surreal and meaningful. I had a feeling it meant something while remembering it. It seemed incredibly real somehow. What's more strange is that many of my dreams I remember because I go about my day then something in my day very similar to a segment in the dream reminds me of it, it seems like it was placed there as a reminder.

Now to the short segment of the dream. About 10 doves(I think you call it) with grayish colour landed in an almost complete circle, and then one dove which was kind of white and three times bigger those who landed before it. This "special" dove landed 3 seconds later in the middle of the circle. It did something very strange with its wings. It lifted them high above the head for a few moments as I saw in a video just now, although both at the same time.


Anyone have any clues what the heck this was about? It seemed very meaningful, most of my dreams are just a result of my thought or my day but this seemed very different.

This morning I woke up in my "headspace". It's usually what some seem to call black void or sometimes for me it can be red it seems.
At first I thought I was awake, because I had just woken up and was sleepy relaxed and I thought I think I could feel my body but I don't remember actually feeling it.
What made me realize I was still not really back in this reality was the fact that as I thought I was woken up already I decided in my mind to get a bit more alert.
Then all sounds from "real life" came back and I realized I had tuned out from those/was tuned out b4 deciding to kind of become more alert. This happened twice and
im beginning to wonder if I actually have many more chances to exit/project than i've recently thought. I almost end up in this space every morning but feeling like im actually awake
today made me think that maybe that I might have been able to exit many times if I just tried as it seems my thoughts have made it seem as though I'm awakw(and I don't wanna roll down on the floor for real).

I have on many occasions in a lowered conscious state in dreams successfully astral projected in the world of that dream. This happened again tonight.
It is literally exactly the same as in this world but just a more "flexible world" which is basically another reality but have some similarities. Anyone else astral project in their dreams too?

I find it strange it happens in my dream but sometimes in "the real world". Notice that im not talking about astral projecting from within a dream as many times mentioned on this forum.

I have meditated a lot. I am curious as to why I never seem to be able to exit through meditation, realxing, letting go or just not thinking. I can easily get to a dream stage or at least receive a few random images at times. I can fall asleep temporarily just to get back to focus. I usually completely tune out from my surroundings after a while but still not, not even when I wake back up in my mind during this. Only times I usually project is when waking up from deep sleep during night-time. Anyone more experienced who has any idea why this is so? All I got to do is find myself waking up from deep sleep and then I can exit but not during the day and light sleep, relaxation or meditation...

I have keeping a dream journal noting down the important stuff for like every day in 2 years. I have not necessarily noticed I remember more dreams. Memories of higher dimensions fade in this reality if you don't write them down though, mostly. I usually only remember the important stuff unless it feels like  I've been in another reality for years or so.. The most important factor for me remembering dreams seems getting A LOT of sleep. Too little will make me forget most.

Another thing I have noticed is all my dreams have a feeling of love in them, much unlike the life here. I love going to sleep mostly, because I usually have some sort of feeling of love in all my dreams. Is anyone else experiencing this too?

The past 2 years I have been hearing a specific tone in the morning/night. It usually comes before the sun rises and comes in waves. I sounds sort of like some vibration and seems
to come from within my mind or head(I tried putting hands around ear). It doesn't go away until I have slept a few hours again. It is nothing like what Ihave experienced when exiting the body
it is something else, has anyone else experienced it?

What happened to Lionheart and Phoenix? Their accounts have been gone for a while now.. Also why were there so many posts 2013-2015 and then it seemed to go downwards?

Yesterday I was meditating after recently having reduced my regularity a lot. I was  visualizing being in a corridor with rooms appearing randomly on the sides of it with different doors. It was white spacious and bright. There were big windows on both ends. Eventually I entered a room and started drifting into sleep, when I suddenly began spinning out of this visualization to somewhere else, but that kind of stopped because I noticed this(consciously). I then shortly got a feeling and blurry image of a clear blue sky on another planet full of love(felt like a memory I don't remember). I then kind of fell asleep for a few minutes.

Experience 2: I woke up randomly in middle of night still a bit tired. I went back to sleep on my back focusing on my breath or darkness behind my eyes to exit(potentially). Instead a song I've been listening to started going through my mind and soon enough it had become "real", as my consciousness deepened and decreased. The lyrics(the important part) changed from "we all have a hunger" to "we all have a number", "they're all numbers" or "they all have a nuber"(I don't remember which). Then I entered what I would like to call the rare observatory black space. This is a state where I can not think, but only observe. It is a deep black space. In this space I have previously on two occations met a guardian angel and a elemental being. I last in this space 2-10 seconds usually and then fall asleep but somehow remember it anyway. I have only reached this space when going to sleep also. Although this time I saw three stars forming a triangle. It seems kind of cryptic considering "they're all numbers" playing before.

Any input?

Hi, ever since I started "waking up" in 2012 I have noticed how everything stops making sense to me. I have come to the point/been at a point where I no longer feel connected
to this life on earth. It is like I see so clearly things others don't and yet I am here living a 3d dimensional life feeling like im somewhere else in my mind. It is hard to explain but have been this
way for years now and it feels very strange. I feel as if I no longer really have a good reason to be here, even though I most certainly have no big problem with it.. It is like watching a movie knowing it
is actually a movie whereas the other actors forgot it was a movie at all.

Im recently frequently like 1-3 times a year having unexpected emotional reunions with people I like who I will never see in this life again most likely. It's unexpected and feels painful upon awakening, almost as if I am dead having an afterlife party... Anyone else?

I have noticed that since about 2015 I don't really get tired or hungry. I rather feel neutral much of the time and I just decide to go to sleep or eat after a while because it has been a long habit. I remember the years before, I would a clear tired feeling when I needed to sleep and when I got hungry I would almost feel pain from the hunger even though I ate more and so on...

These days, I can go 4-9 hours before my stomach starts feeling empty, and I never really get that "hungry feeling"/"feeling of pain or something". The only thing that happens is I feel my stomach start becoming empty, but I don't necessarily get hungry. I do ofcourse still eat. I've eaten a lot less the past year and only drink water since 4 years back. I even don't feel a need for more than 2 glasses of water a day even though i started drinking 4-6 now to be on the safe side. My weight has stayed the same for 3 years now, no fluctuations really, no matter if I eat much less it seems. Many days I eat 1000-1700 calories.

I also noticed in the past 2 years I can go for very long without getting the "tired feeling" of sleep. I simply decide when I want to go to sleep and it's even a bit hard falling asleep sometimes. If I don't get much sleep I don't really get tired, I just get a kind of strange feeling.

Has anyone else experienced similar things?

Things that changed before/during this time:
I eat lots more of fruit.
Drink only water.
Eat less.
Meditate more regularly
Been in sun and nature more
Tried being thankful for stuff

I dunno.

I have recently noticed a relation I think. I earlier this year, when I didn't have to focus as much on the physical world, had many OBEs as opposed to before that point. Now as I am very occupied with the physical world I have not had anythnig close to OBEs for 2-3 months until today. For some reason I had more of a deep sleep tonight and clearer dreams. I also rolled out through my wall to find myself in my bed again relaxing so much I could leave my body if I wanted to. For some reason I didn't dare to which is veru unusual. Also it seemed harder to exit and more highpitch noice than usual and more magnetism if you will. I think this may have to do that I have been focusing a lot more on the physical lately.

Thoughts?

I have this year had a lot more frequent OBEs or whatever you would like to call them & I feel that a journal would be better for me and reader. My experiences are at the moment usually very short, which is also one good reason to keep all experiences logged into this journal. This will be a place for people to maybe gain some insight or interest in the subject. I myself greatly enjoy reading OBE journals of frequent fliers. Those with more knowledge feel free to help me in the right direction, I always appreciate input.

2017 July 9th

I found myself in my old house, with a somewhat restricted memory hearing someone familiar crying. I thought I was maybe just dreaming or something, but kept listening and then realized with restricted consciousness that I might exit in this state. I couldn't see anything and the bed was in the wrong place, but I exited and started flying upwards at an exponential rate. I started seeing maybe Jupiter's rings and then instantly exited the universe? and saw multiple galaxies, which then seemed to turn into different dimensions as i travelled further? I got the feeling these different dimensions had different characteristics and I could easily feel the one which I currently belong to. I think I saw a handful of these and they had different but somewhat familiar symbols.

While I was flying with no sight, I just thought maybe I'll eventually see something if I keep being focused on going somewhere. I was focused on going into space, cause I couldn't see and it would be easy flying upwards while blind, also I have never been there astrally from what I remember. I also noted in the beginning of the flying as I increased the speed, my vibration seemed to increase a lot instantly as I could feel my astral body start vibrating as I increased in speed.

Duration of this experience was only about 60 seconds and I travelled very quickly.

Recently I have instead of rolling out of body, float downwards with my legs firts and then my head. This because there is some stuff next to my bed which could hurt me if i rolled physically. I have noticed that I more quickly loose consciousness once out because I float through the bed maybe even below the floor, and I only see "that purple vortex I usually see, unless I open my eyes astrally(but nothing to see inside a bed..)". For some reason I very quickly loose my consciousness because of this? :/

So I woke up directly after a sequence in a dream, almost like it had been meant to happen for me to remember. I have said many times that I have never met my spiritual guides in dreams or OBEs for some reason. I always figured it had to do with letting me learning some stuff before they help me or because I in a dimension too low for them or something.

However, tonight I found myself walking down a street from my old neighborhood and for some reason knocking on an old man's door. I was invited in and asked if he had anything interesting for sale or something, I think he showed me a couple of things but don't remember. He then started to say a lot of things and became wiser by the moment, something didn't make sense and it was like he was someone else(even though I didn't really know him).

Soon enough he began to transform into some weird robotic alien creature, which then turned out to be a fear-test of some sort, and then the disguise was gone and this creature became a woman. I got a very strong sense this was a spiritual guide to me of some sort. I could sense her eagerness to help me explain why I have not been able to exit into OBE consciously by will. This guide I could feel also was very neutral and didn't really seem to care much about the whole situation, but somehow I could feel this guide at the same time wanted to help me understand..? Then she went on to say that the main problem why I won't astral project by will is because that if
a part of my body is not comfortable it won't happen and she gave one other reason I forgot. She also kind of with her mind showed me how a part cannot be uncomfortable in a certain way, because if it felt that way I wouldn't happen for some reason? I immediately woke up after this but forgot the second reason she gave me. I could feel she had woken me up intentionally for me to remember this which made me very happy!

First of all I have never had any help whatsoever in OBEs neither in dreams. Second of all I have never met someone who has tried to help me with these matters. I hope and look forward to a continued relationship of help from this or other guides/persons. I am really happy I finally got someone to try and help me with greater knowledge even though I don't remember it all.

My question is now, why would they/she choose to help me now after so many years? Also I am very surprised they choose to help me in a dream instead of an OBE or something. Any thoughts? Btw I was not really conscious during the dream, but rather observing what was happening after the "me" in the dream started realizing something was not quite right with that man. I also have a slight memory of the house transforming into a ship(ufo) of some sort when the guide behind the fear-test finally appeared. It was almost like when you are afraid but try to exit your body anyway, that sort of thing happened but in a dream?

So I increased my efforts significantly for a while to achieve conscious OBE by will recently. I'm not sure what I'm aiming for but I achieve different states but they are not enough to exit. I during this time lost ALL my spontaneous obes which had increased over this year a lot. When I stopped trying so hard to consciously OBE but still kept trying by spontaneous exit returned. In the past 7 days I have exited five times, even though I have only been falling through the floor seeing nothing but a purple vortex and then losing consciousness... The thing is I usually can reach these states by accident during sleep time and quickly exit. I usually do it twice the same night when it happens!?  Last night when I woke up I for some reason felt I could exit right away even though I was still aware of my body. It was easy and happened in seconds by will, I dont know why this is so. During night times sometimes even though I am as awake as in the day I can just do it..

I have continuously meditated for about 9 months now, almost every day with few exceptions. It is now routine just like anything else it is a habit. What I have learned from these past nine months is that there is not much reason to meditating(for whatever purpose) if you do it out of obligation, just to get it done or if you don't put for heart, intent and energy into it.

I had profound experiences within just 3 weeks of meditation and other stuff in 2012 but during this period 2016-2017 I have not experienced anything similar except occasional experiences close to sleep states and such.

About one or two weeks ago I figured I would put more into the energy of enjoying the mystery of meditation and dimensions yet unknown as I did in 2012. I started putting more energy into relaxing, going deeper and to atleast every session reach a state where I hear sounds within the mind, such as music, voices etc.. or short dream or just images. Once I reach this state I know that I have achieved enough relaxation and focus on a deeper state of mind to practice connecting to all that which most people are n not in touch in with in this world today.

I realized quickly that as I started recently increasing my abilities and such in a short time. So my hope is for anyone reading this to either learn this the same way I did(hopefully you don't give up before you realize this) or you can hopefully feel there is something to what I learned from these past 9 months and skip this process. Although I did successfully achieve what I wanted years before I didn't really realize what I did then that I didn't know in the past years.

Anyone else experienced similar things? Also during these 9 months of meditation I am however very sure I entered a deeper state than the usual day-to-day state of mind, but it wasn't deep enough it seems, that is to say if you want more and deeper experiences. It was definitely not worthless but what I did, it did not help with was I was looking to achieve. Also I increased my OBEs and possibilities of OBE I would say about 3-8 times more the last 4 months than before that time, so it seems I have more frequently having OBEs probably as a result of these kinds of things.

I this morning found myself in a dream of which I can recall many things one which was other people noticing a ufo from inside the bus and crazy storm weather. I could see a small ufo showing itself openly for all people on the highway. It was small and flied like a bird and seemed to wanted to catch peoples interest. I feel this may be something that is about to happen for real in the world sometime soon(whenever that is) I saw a ufo physically over 10 years ago myself actually. Well the bus continuen going and I ended up in my second home IRL and for a moment I felt some kind of deja vu that I shouldn't be there like it didn't make sense. Usually I have a lot of these moments in dream and shrug it off like nah it's nothin like I do IRL when I feel something strange usually. This time I kind of felt that the dream had it's pull put I held on to the feeling or recognizing something didn't make sense and immediately became lucid. Before I became lucid and started feeling that feeling I could feel how close the pull to staying unlucid was and how strong it was. I was extremely close to entering the house and let the dream control me, but instead became lucid. I know recognize how easy and hard it is to fall victim of a dream by simply not believing in your own will. A conscious effort is all that was needed even though it kind of felt like moving a mountain and lifting a feather at the same time. As I became lucid I started interacting and looking intensly on a wall which helped, but then I could hear a car in the dream which probably was the result of a car outside IRL and I thought I just keep focusing on this wall to ground myself in the dream which kind of worked until I started doing other things and then went back to my body. Nice experience, thoughts?

I woke up the other night with an unusual headache(pounding) probably due to lack of sleep. I then tried my own technique to remove that energy(have read people using color techniques through visualization).
I instead decided to create a vortex sucking out black energy from the area to be healed and keep it going for as long as it feels right and then fade it from black to gray to white. I have tried it  maybe 20 times and sometimes it has helped, but not as noticable as this time. This pain was intense and then when I started my technique 90% of the pain went away instantly and I could go back to sleep! Incredible! Any thoughts? Please try yourselves!  Maybe it was more effective cause I just woke up and still was in a deeper stat, who knows?

Interestingly enough I exited with another consciousness from a place I used to live before(in a dream,has happened before) and I saw a mirror on the wall, which shouldn't be there. My first
instinct was to see if I could see my astral body as many says to try and have tried. I expected to see a bluish aura of some kind, but instead I saw a physical reflection of what I have been meditating on for the past 4 months(long time experiment). I was a bit surprised to see exactly the result of what I have meditated on(speaking to cells). My conclusion is that these changes are happening at some physical rate but have already happened at the subconscious/astral levels, since this was reflected in the mirror unexpectedly. Maybe some kind of confirmation? What are your thoughts about this?

This morning I woke up and felt/heard a bit of "that" magnetic sound in my ears or third eye. Not close to as much needed for exit usually, but I though let's try anyway. Usually I can only exit when Im about to wake up not when I have actually woken up, cause my focus is then on this world. However, I thought let's just try and force my way out and the magnetic sound increased quickly, but I felt like that wasn't enough. Then I somehow momentarily shifted my focus to the astral rather than this world and realising this thought I would go back to my body cause a second ago I was awake. Instead I continued to focus back on falling through the floor and then ended up in a dream unfortunately.
