Ok I have been trying to OBE for the last couple of days and have been unsuccessful at it, I keep falling asleep, does anyone know of any good techniques that I could use that have been successful for them?

I have my Profile Settings set, so when I get a new Private Message I will get a Pop-Up Window, but unfortidently, it has never worked on this site, I have no clue as to why it will not work. I do have a Pop-Up Blocker(The only pop up blocker I use is the one that comes with XP SP2.) on my computer, and I have this site added to the allow list, and it still blockes the Pop-Up Window for new Private Messages, now this is not the only site that I have had this problem with, I have gone on other websites and I have the same problem. For some unknown reason, My Computer seems to be the only computer in my house that blocks the Pop-Up Window for new Private Messages, and on every other computer in my house it seems to work just fine on.  Does anyone know of anything I can do to get it to work?

[My Lucid Dream Experience:]

I know that I had one the other day ago, it sure was cool, I could for once actually control what I did in my dream. This is the first time I have ever had one. I sure would like to have another as that was fun being able to control my dream like that!!!  (This has all happened weeks, and almost a moth ago, so it is old, but I still thought that I would share it.) I must say that after my first experience, I have had lots of Lucid Dreams, and I really enjoy them. Anyone else have any other Lucid Dreams that they would like to share, I would be glad to hear them.

My Lucid Dream Experience:
Well is how it started out, well this is really all I can remember, is that I was out in the desert walking down a wall, or a Pyramid, then all the sudden I was sliding down it out of control, then I fell, but I landed on my feet, then these 3 guys were chasing me, why they were I have no clue as to why, but I ran from them, then after I got far enough away, well I simply did what Neo did from the Matrix, I flew away, then after that I woke up, it sure was weird though. That is all I can remember, I wish I could remember more.  I bet I could once I get in better rapport with my subconscious, so I can a have a better memory.  I sure do wish I could change the ending as I think it sucks is what I would really like to do is alter it by doing what this lady does in her dream, which is confront those who are chasing me and ask why they are doing so. I mean after all I believe that dreams tell us things about our waking life.

"After many recurring nightmares where I'm pursued by some terrifying figure, I learned of lucid dreaming and had the following dream: 'I'm in a frantic car chase with the pursuer right behind me. Swerving into a parking lot, I bolt out of the car and run with him hot on my heels. Suddenly, the scene seems familiar and I realize that I'm dreaming, though the lot and trees still seem more real than ever. Drawing upon every ounce of courage that I have, I swirl to face my pursuer, repeating to myself that it's only a dream. Still afraid, I scream at him, "You can't hurt me!" He stops, looking surprised. For the first time I see his beautiful, loving eyes. "Hurt You?" he says. "I don't want to hurt you. I've been running after you all this time to tell you that I love you!" With that, he holds out his hands, and as I touch them, he dissolves into me. I awake filled with energy, feeling great for days.' Not only did the nightmare never return, but more importantly, I now find myself much better at facing unpleasant situations at work and in my personal life. Following what I learned in the dream, I'm much better at standing my ground and expressing my feelings when needed and appropriate, whereas before I would usually avoid or run from such situations."

Well for those of you who do not know what a Lucid dream(Who on this site doesn't.......lol) is, here is what it is. Lucid Dreaming is knowing that you are dreaming while you are doing it. When you know that you are dreaming, you can also alter the dream course. And with practice you can also develop full control over your dream, you will be able to create and change the environment and change your own appearance. It will be you that are in control of the dream scenario. You can do whatever you want to do.

How many existentialists does it take to screw in a lightbulb?




Only one, but first the lightbulb has to proove it exists!

Hahahaha [] well, thank you Sinestro.  So what is your point?

Nay

Sleep and unconsciousness are seperate things. Unconsciousness itself has two seperate meanings, most people associate unconsciousness with being totally asleep physically AND mentally. However, one can still be physically asleep and manage to maintain mental awareness, which is infact the state of lucid dreaming, trance, etc..

Within the last few years, theoretical physicists have denounced the original theory of the big bang itself, and an expanding universe. The ambiguous variables of dark matter and dark energy (matter and energy necessary to explain the physics of the existing "known" universe, which are undetectable (theoretical in the first place)) allow for various other theories to co-exist along side the standard NASA teachings of the early cosmos, such as:

A flat multi-dimensional universe in a vaccume (in a donut shape, not a sphere)

String Theory, though there are so many revisions of it that they are almost pointless to explain, which supposedly fits with the unified field theory, perfectly.

What Im saying is, there are many other theories, which are all equally as possible, however they are not as well known nor are presented as fact. Oddly enough, I doubt understanding the real origins and workings of the universe will ever be possible, and humanity will continue ever changing and evolving ideas.

I would have to advise you to go purchase Astral Dynamics by Robert Bruce. It will answer all of your questions. Either that or I think there are tutorials that you can go through on this website.
