Hello,

Earlier I happened to wake up a few times after falling asleep, into either a vibration-less shift in consciousness to an OBE/LD (Assuming they were OBEs to some degree), or one accompanied by a high pitched frequency and mild vibrations. I've been attempting to set my intent to do this for many weeks with almost no measurable success, but last night was a surprising experience which I set no earlier intentions on. Anyways, while I making the transition and started to notice scenes getting more vivid, my consciousness of certain matters in this physical reality that have been on my mind a lot started to kick in and 'pull me down'. Mild anxiety kicked in and I woke up realizing I can't do it with these thoughts about these matters running in my mind. Maybe I overreacted or was just tired I can't say, it all happened within a few seconds repeatedly.

Should I try to focus/relax my mind a certain way? Or not bother until I've dealt with the physical reality matters? I'm concerned because at some point I felt like these thoughts were manifesting into unpleasant creations during the transition..

Thanks for reading 

Hello,

Thanks for the reading this.. I'm new here and I read some posts about the FAQs, labelling experiences and many topics about peoples experiences..

I've been trying to intently astral project for the last year or so. From about age 11-12 I would wake up almost every 2 days with a strong earthquake like sensation grabbing my bed wondering why there's an earthquake in this area and later thought it was something within that wasn't right in my body.. I had no idea about OBEs then.. My teenage years and early adult years involved a lot of unhealthy habits and alcohol and cigarette/pot use to the point that getting a decent nights sleep was a treat. Anyways its been years since I quit those drugs and started to get interested in OBEs again.

I read the earthquake sensation is a symptom but although I've had moments of waking up after falling asleep and feeling the vibrations I never really 'got out'. I have some questions..

I stopped trying for a while and recently I've had some experiences some in which I gained awareness that I was in another place but it wasn't as clear as I would say this physical consciousness is.. Though it felt real and my reaction and interaction felt real though without a steady fow at times.. It was somewhat like a nightmare often but I couldn't eject until I completed my mission within it.. I had forgotten I had a physical consciousness I could switch to..until i woke up.. I had more similar experiences some more vivid, feeling somewhat real and random/impulsive like jumping to different parts of a video but the colors and detail were not as real as this physical experience now..

- Was any of this anything leading up to astral awareness? All those experiences happened with 0 noticeable symptoms.. I would gain awareness maybe a few hours after falling asleep, realizing I'm in another not very clear reality and just being and doing whatever in it to a certain degree as I desire (subconscious and conscious desires)

- Does the vividness change based on my level of awareness only? Does the brains shifts in states and emotions while I'm astral awareness have an effect on this vividness or does it happen independent of it? Or does physical reality exist only when I'm aware of it making my question absurd?

- If I am the experience.. How can I know what's a projection of my thought or an entity that existed regardless of my awareness to it? Is the astral a place that exists and has manifestations of other individual consciousness or is it a dimension where it is strictly my realm and a place of my projections? (Which include manifestations of individuals)

- I have been approaching this like I'm supposed to force my spirit or astral body out of my physical body.. Is that technique even worth pursuing because I am the experience and I just shift consciousness within without a sense of brute will.and intent?  I just felt like I was exerting myself like lifting a heavy weight..


I've read countless experiences about people 'getting out' and seeing their own body in bed, visiting friends, travelling to other parts of the universe etc..and I can't even remotely relate to those experiences.. Have you ever experienced such a thing in your reality or akasha? Am I way off in my technique and expectations?

Thanks the help
