Hey guys, I haven't been here in awhile since I haven't been attempting to astral project lately but this morning I tried with different results then my past.

I was using binaural beats to help me and I was about 70-80 minutes in before I started to feel different effects. I know the time because I was on my second binaural beat track. What happened was I was dreaming when I started to get these strong waves in my body as if someone was shaking me in a way. They weren't the usual light vibrations I felt before, they actually frightened me. They would go down the height of my body starting from my head and then eventually go the width of my body side to side. It was almost as if my body was morphing. I let it happen for a bit but eventually I couldnt take it anymore so I curled up and laid on my side to stop it. They continued for a little bit more and then stopped and I fell into sleep paralysis which only lasted a few seconds.

So my question is what were we these waves/shakes I was feeling and how close was I to projecting? Is this usually what you feel before projecting?

Thank you for your time all.

So last night I got about 4-5 hours of sleep and as I was laying down I was trying to astral project. Well I failed there so this afternoon I tried again. The second time didnt go as planned either but I did lucid dream for the first time instead! It was such an amazing experience! But I do have a few questions about it if any of you experienced lucid dreamers would care to listen.

One of the things I recall most was talking to people/friends. As I was talking to my friends I notice that I could never get a full, clear view of their faces like something always seemed to be covering it. Also when I was talking to them I realized that what we were talking about made no since. And when I realized this my one friend said something like "I always hate lucid dreaming because its impossible to talk to people." Is this common for all lucid dreamers to not be able to communicate well with people and too not really see their faces in dreams?

After that I remember feeling a very strong emotion to get away from people as I was walking down a city street. It was like I felt so alone. I never experienced emotion like that in a dream. And right around there is when I tried to fly (if i remember correctly). I tried flying like Superman a fews times but only could do like a super, high, jump. Then I tried swimming through the air and it was working but I was going super slow and it was exhausting and eventually glided gently to the ground. Does anyone have any tips for flying?

My last question is when I tried to astral project while in my dream because I have heard it is very common for people to do this. I think I was standing a little ways from where I tried flying when I attempted to project. I remember kind of saying something like "astral project now!" and when I did I felt my astral entity start to intensely swirl inside me and almost leave me but couldnt quite do it. The feeling was so intense that I cant really describe it well. After that Im not sure what happened but I do know that I continued dreaming. I was wondering how you guys project while lucid dreaming? Do you lay down and do it? Any tips?

Id like to thank anyone who took the time to read this, this was such an incredible experience for me!

Hi, I've been practicing/learning about astral projection for a little less than a month now and all my experiences seem to end the same way. I start off by repeating the mantra "Mind awake, Body asleep" in rhythm with my breathing and eventually my mind gets lost somewhere else where i cant recall but when I snap back to focusing I naturally start saying the mantra again and immediately get the vibrations. But also when Im in the vibrational stage I can see what looks to me like tree branches with leaves. I keep focusing on the mantra but I also always get an extreme need to swallow. After I swallow the vibrations usually last for a few more seconds and then they're gone. Should I just keep repeating the mantra when I see the trees and try not to swallow or what?
