My goodness. Years of mystery have come to an end.

I'm currently holidaying in London and had a hard time sleeping last night due to mothers snoring, so I stayed awake most of the night listening to music and had some quite deep personal reflections.

Anyway, come about 6am I had just fallen asleep again and was having ridiculous dreams to which I realised I was dreaming, I remember being in a house and had predators outside and once I realised I said, 'I don't have to put up with this excrement, take me now!' - i put my arms up in the air and I was expecting to get whisked up and out but I actually fell through my bed and was sucked into a fuzzy abyss like a vortex, I was floating around and could feel the wind in my hair, I was trying to open my astral eye I see where I was but my physical eye would open and I would then get whisked back until i eventually came back to my body.

I am very happy with my first experience and hoping I've opened a spiritually opening can of worms. Woohoo!

Hope you are all well.

So I was having whack dreams this morning about god knows what and I realised I'm dreaming, (I'm having a thing right now where either I'm realising I'm dreaming or It's just a part of the dream where I say I realise it but I actually don't, HA) and after I "realised" I was still dreaming and half aware of my body, but my brain was in gear, I knew it was early morning and that I could attempt to project.

Well, what a swirly confusing mess that was. I could feel parts of my body rising up, swirling around me and then going back into my body and it seemes to happen for ages, I could feel certain limbs separating and then would come back down, it was all feeling, nothing visual apart from swirly blackness (I'm using that word a lot but it's really working for me) and then after a while I got ticked off and rolled over.

Yay for getting closer though, but I do wonder what's holding me back. I realise It's a part of me holding me back but can't figure it out...as in this state this morning I went from noticing what was happening to actively trying to get out and vice versa and neither worked.

Blah. But cool. But mostly blah coz I'm angry today.

And go! I keep finding crap .. I do love the one by ChristinaDream, but it's not long enough and when she is encouraging you to get out of your body her whispering is too harsh and it takes away your relaxation. Listened to some Paul Santisi ones sounds more hypnotic than anything.

Also what's your opinion on binaural beats? Some of my friends think they make them see entities and scary faces in their imagery. When deeply meditating I tend to hear very faint conversations of other people in different accents and I have no control over what's being said, is it possible my auditory attention/body has tapped into something?

Excuse all the random questions they all came to me at once

So after 20 minutes of not moving at all I began to feel my hands go numb (in a pleasant way, not in a lack of circulation way), and the sensation creeped up my arms slowly until I was lamost 100% not aware of my body, my viiosn was flashing and pulsating, my ears got particularly noisy, my eyes started flickering, my heart beat bagn to soar and I had a tunnel in front of me that I was going down and then .....it dissipated into nothingness like a passing storm.

Was this Focus 10? How close would one assume I would be to projecting? Instead of trying to throw my body outside of itself I'm simply imagining transferring my awareness to my astral body which is already outside of myself according to Robert Monroe correct?

This was last night as well as about 10.30PM, I was very tired but stayed awake and alert for an entire hour by focusing on my third eye, very cool technique! Didn't quite make it though! I imagine if I did this at 6AM I may have been able to get out....

....I think I'm close?

I have been doing aura reading exercises and attempting to astral project and lucid dream for a few weeks now and two nights ago my best friend found herself floating above me in my room, trying to get me out of my body.
She said that she got me three quarters out of my body and she was encouraging me to come out, but I couldn't because my feet were stuck, so she ushered me back inside my body. I also remember rolling over or thinking at some point that I can't astral project because I was too tired. I really do suspect that I felt that way after it all happened, although I don't remember it.
She also mentioned that she could see my aura and gaps in it, and was attempting to leave my room but couldn't, and was under the impression she had to see my aura and remember it in full detail so she could tell me about it and I could meditate on it and heal myself, which is also a journey I'm on. She apparently had to watch me sleep for longer than she intended to so she would remember it (she did, yay!), until she was finally able to go back to her body.

Is it possible you're unaware you're projecting until you're fully out? Does anyone have friends they met on the astral plane? Does anyone know what gaps in the aura mean, specifically above both shoulders and at the top of the head? My aura is purple apparently.

Quick run down - havent projected yet, lost my ability to lucid dream a long time ago and I think I've gotten it back

Last night (or 6AM this morning rather) I was dremaing I was at the dinner table with my parents and I realised I was dreaming (or it was just apart of the dream if that makes sense) because my dad was there (he's no longer with us) and I said to everyone at the table "I'm dreaming, dad isn't really here, quick hug him before he disappears" and I got my hug in ... that dream ended and a new one began, I was in a dodgy pub not wearing much and I had to wrestle this woman who was also not wearing much .. I was about to and then I said to myself "hahaha I'm dreaming!" and I walked away, and after I told her not to the organiser called me a c**t (I think this reflects what's happening in my personal life at the moment, I am steering clear of my ex and he responds poorly when I don't want to hang out with him and "jokingly" calls me that word) and I walked away, and as I was walking I was willing myself out of my body and suddenly I was wooshed up into the air, I did a sort of a flip thing and was hovering, it was beautiful, I was in an open plane and there was a nice house there surrounded by Autumn leaves .... aaaand then I woke up.

Thoughts? I think the affirmations are working!

Oh yeah there's more! Last night as I was trying to project I got the usual vibrations but something different happened...I was able to stay still for 20 minutes (trying to get to sleep paralysis) and although I couldn't feel if my hands were doing it it felt like they were succumbing to spasticity ... curling inwards and vibrating/lots of sensations ... my vision was doing intersting things that hasn't happened before and I felt random spots of my body vibrating, but then it all dissipated and I sort of came back to "reality", as if I was laying there normally waiting for sleep.

I'm intrigued. I think I'm getting closer

I thought this would be in FAQ but it only had random english abbreviations in it, can we have a page that explains all the astral abbreviations please?

I've seen things like BST, NP, Foc 2 (??) and google is useless for this type of thing.

Thanks

There was a blues/ psy trance concert to be held in a desert like pit in SA called 'the basement', it was 26 stories down even though it was like peering into a small red Grand Canyon ... However before the concert started we had to spear some locals that were taking up the area but the ones who put on t shirts we provided were able to stay and enjoy the show ... My dad (who was killed this year in a motorbike accident sadly ) was in my dream. Our family was somehow able to travel through time and hang out with him for the duration of the concert, which began but sort of didn't because William and Kate were getting married and there and we were awaiting their arrival ... I asked dad if he knew how much time he had with us that day and he shook his head, then disappeared.

Dreams like this remind me creation is limitless and I have no excuses not be song and story writing right now!

Ahoy!

I'm a noob, and I've got some questions

I consider myself a relatively intuitive individual and have really good luck/memory/guessing with numbers. If someone says "guess my age" I'll get it right more than 90 % of the time. If someone says I have two children I'll chime in and say "theyre 9 and 11" and I'll be right. No lottery numbers have come to mind as of yet

Any ideas how I can elaborate on this? What I can use it for? it happens with sentences as well .. I mean, I ran into a woman at a afestivaland I thought my ex will move in with her then I laughed because it was stupid and they're literally house mates now. I need to learn how to trust this information and let it flow freely, and also to bring new and useful information to me! Aaaaaaaah!

In Primary shool I could lucid dream a lot. And it was easy for me if I woke up to lay still and get back into the dream. But when that stopped in early high school i thought it was of a self sabotaging nature .. as soon as I realised I was in a dream my eyes would force themselvwes open and I coul never get it back, which was sad.

Then I developed the ability (perhaps due to my wasting my teenage years in front of a computer) to "reset the levbel" if I was captured by predator, so I had the chance to escape again.

Then up until a few years ago as I dont really have nightmares anymore I could realise I was in a nightmare and then force my eyes open.

Now I just have really kooky dreams, and am looking into astral travel for mind expanding benefits. My question is, is there a chance my infrequent dope use has effected my abilities to lucid dream? (Even though I was unable to stop lucid dreaming long before i smoked a joint haha) and do you thinks its possible its a self sabotage thing? Self sabotage is apparent in lots of areas of my life and im doing what i can to move past it. Thank you

My name is Jessica, 27 years old from Melbourne, been fascinated with AP and OBE's for a long time but am right back into it having started to read "Astral Projection for Psychich Empowerment" and getting all very excited about it all!

I will post this in the dream section, but I do have a few things I'm seeking clarification on. I have had a number of dream capabilities over the years which have changed and evolved and I guess I'm trying to get them back!
