(Don't say vibrations, I don't get vibrations.)

I've been meaning to ask this for a while, but every time I've tried to relax and not move a muscle for about an hour, I start to physically feel like I do in the morning, mainly needing a glass of water and caffeine to perk myself up. Sometimes I also feel colder than I do when I'm a little more awake. When I don't swallow for about 10-20 minutes the feeling is 'worse' in that for a few seconds swallowing feels like sandpaper. Is this feeling due to my body falling asleep? Or is it just dry?

I just want to know how close I am to experiencing Body Asleep; Mind Awake.

It's been a while since I posted on this forum, Reddit caused me to stop posting on message boards. Although here I don't run the risk of some random person censoring me with down-votes! It's been ages since I've taken any proper action towards lucid dreaming and astral projection; not kept any journal of sorts, not meditated, my sleeping pattern has fluctuated, not even read anything about it apart from stories other people have shared online. So I thought I'd get a copy of Astral Dynamics and have so far read up to the end of chapter one where Robert Bruce has only talked about the astral dimensions and RTZ. I was hoping this would help kick start my progress again, that by reading this I will easily be able to identify my progress with how I'm feeling and what experiences I'm having. Did anybody else gain similar insights from this book in order to succeed, I don't want to waste my time with this book if it won't really help me in the long term.

Hey guys,

I was meditating today in my living room, and I felt myself going deeper. I eventually got myself to a state where my ears were sensitive to sound. My dad was watching TV, so every time a louder noise happened on TV it felt like I was hearing it while just waking up. And then someone text my dad and his text-tone made me alert again. The exercise I was doing was purely mental, so no weird breathing patterns, just trying to make sure my breathing was kinda slow and deep. I remember once reading a healing method where you would imagine light coming into your body, and then spreading out all over healing you as you breathed out. So I wondered if this worked with getting sleepy, I would change the colour of the light to purple and felt myself going deeper and deeper with each of these slow breaths. I almost reached a bit of a trance.

I've always meditated with altered states of consciousness in mind, now in that situation if I hadn't gotten distracted, what would I have had to do from that point to get into an OBE state? I'm very interested in the concept of self-hypnosis, but it's very rare I get the real opportunity to practice it. I have a pair of ere-plugs and a velvet sleeping mask, so that helps sometimes. Just feel a bit silly when I'm in the same room as my dad while doing it, but it's the only room with comfy chairs that isn't a bed.

I'm just asking this because I have this that I found on Google, on my wall:

http://sd.keepcalm-o-matic.co.uk/i/keep-calm-and-lucid-dream-4.png

And I wanted one for astral projection so I can have it side by side to contrast, maybe have a light background too. So I was wondering if there was an official symbol or anything.

Hey guys,

(Oh it feels so good to post on a forum again instead of Reddit), I wanted to ask a question about memory. I know that if you go far away from your body in the beginner stage, that it'll effect how much you remember of the OBE, but what about before the exit? You know, waking up, turning your alarm off, getting settled into bed. Every time I successfully OBE or WILD, even for a few seconds, I can't remember actually lying there and doing it before getting into the vibrational stage. I can remember feeling my body exiting but not sleeping in bed before it.

So in the morning I wasn't really trying, but I thought seen as it was hard to move in the position I was in anyway, I thought I'd give inducing an OBE a shot, and it worked! So, when that happened I was more curious this time on how to do certain things, so I experimented. I touched surfaces like desks and concentrated on what they felt like, asked myself why I could touch them. Asked myself how to manifest things and how to move via thought. I realized that manifesting things wasn't that hard, but needed a different approach in which I 'expected' and 'believed' whatever I wanted to manifest happened. My recall is typical to peoples' experiences but I think I remember summoning a floating chair. I also noticed the same thing with flying, I could put my body into any position and have my thoughts move me.

But I'm mainly making thread in celebration.

Right, so you lie down peacefully, let go of all thoughts and focus on one thing. Suddenly, after not moving for a while, your body starts to beg you to just roll over. Does everyone get this? If so, what feeling do you usually get when you persist and keep meditating? I feel like I'm getting somewhere, I can't be sure. I get phantom limbs as-well but that's been discussed a thousand times on threads I've posted here so let's not talk about that unless it's specifically to do with this increasing urge to roll over. I'm also aware that some guy who made a series of lucid dreaming videos promotes refusing to urge to roll over, but I think I remember him talking about when doing WBTB or the morning, this is at night.

Don't know if this is the right forum, but I found this quite cool. In the game Watch Dogs, there are mini-games you can access through "Digital Drugs" found through dealers throughout the map. And it reminded me of iDoser which talks about them being digital drugs. Probably nothing special but I found it kinda cool how they would mention something like that.

Please somebody save me from my skepticism. I want to believe in everything that's talked about, but I find curiosity getting the better of me and looking for alternate explanations for why things happen in the popular experiments. So far I've found out that it's not that observing particles isn't anything to do with consciously observing, but the way it's measured, and Bruce Lipton is a typical mystic who expects "I did this and that" to make us believe him instantly even though it would mean inaccurate timescales. EFT suggests there's only one cause for illness or injuries, and that's negative emotions (like a horse breaking its leg because it watched a bird die and was sad), and someone else did some experimented where kids had to verbally abuse a jar, and the abused jar grew moldy and horrible where-as another one (which kids were told to be loving to), was healthy. That's not an experiment, that's just telling kids to mechanically say things to a bloody food far and not even taking logical variables into account.

I still believe in AP though, I trust that it exists, so far I haven't read "It's obvious science", and people have just seemed to agree it's something that exists and has yet to be explained more. The only thing that's giving me hope is the possibility that these things (chakras, LOA, AP) would require a different kind of science completely and this is why all these bovine excrement theories fail to explain or test anything. Like failed explanations of a real thing, would I be right in thinking that?

You wake up at 6:00am to do a WBTB (for OBE, but LD's are included too), but you do this for a while and suddenly your body starts waking up automatically at this time. Do you adjust how long you sleep so that doesn't happen?

And whilst I'm here, how do you train to do this while fully awake in the day?

Just another simple question and I wanted to ask if this was a good idea. Basically, when meditating, I was wondering if it would be beneficial to, in a sense, focus on the silence with my ears. Like I'm listening out for nothing. I've read that doing thing can lead to hearing blood flow when exits start to occur, but I was also wondering if this would help.

Thanks!

Hey guys, it's me again, the guy who keeps thinking he's got a method, and then coming back weeks later because his mind has gone "HAHA NOPE" on his new technique, and then loses interest for a few weeks, and then comes back to ask a question because he thinks he found something new. Last night I started getting pre-exit symptoms when I happened to start day dreaming about falling out of a plane with a parachute. This caused some kind of adrenaline, like what I feel when I look at Blackpool tower (might wanna Google that) and then it started happening, but it was a surprise so I didn't end up focusing on the vibes. But is this the technique people talk about when they talk about imagining yourself falling? Because of the fear of heights?

When I imagine myself climbing down a later I don't really feel anything, same for the rope method. So is jumping out of a plane in my imagination the way forward?

Thanks guys

Can someone describe in their own words what this feels like to them? I just want to clarify, is it possible to get this feeling without any visualization; just relaxing? Because I get this feeling at-least once most nights, but it goes again. Is this an astral projection thing? Sometimes I get it when I'm doing breathing exercises, but again, it goes again. Any advice?

Just wanted to know if anybody has used the Procyon Light and Sound machine, and has any sort of experience with phasing/AP/OBE using it. I'm unfamiliar with how lights work with brainwave entrainment, as this is my first one.

Ta guys!

So I've recently learnt how to generate my own isochronic tones and time them how I want, and I've been doing a little playing around and it definitely works. But I've noticed that when my brain's frequency is around 5hz (or so I read on Audacity), I'll start experiencing my day-dreams as if they're real, but I'll still have complete control of my physical body. For instance, something in this vivid day-dream made me laugh so I found doing that little noise people make when they find something slightly amusing and it was from the perspective of someone witnessing the humour and not thinking it up himself.

Over-all my main aim is to be able to go so deep that sleep paralysis (or whatever it's been found to be called now) occurs at my computer chair and sends me there, directly from the waking state. But what I've experienced so far is quite interesting, that the state of mind is completely changeable purely by listening to audio.

Anyone got any comments or advice to further my experimentation?

I know, I keep bouncing off one subject to another, with balance though. Yesterday after some alcohol, I thought I'd try practicing a trance induction. This whole process took just under 20 minutes. I sat down, focused on my breathing, and visualized the number 100 and started mentally counting down, and when I'd count down to 0, I'd start again at 100, and at a point, guessing about 10-15 minutes in, I started feeling a little drowzy and bored, and my wondering mind took over for a minute, and then I remembered about the counting and got back to it, but I decided to stop, and when I did it was just under the 20 minute mark on the App I was using on my phone. Was I doing it right? I'm trying to get better at it so I can deepen a trance, so I can get into a state akin to when I wake up in the morning, but I dunno, I feel like I should be doing something different

The past few days I've had a few decent phases and successful attempts. I forgot the experience I had this morning and I didn't write it down because I didn't class it as an OBE, more like a lucid dream, even though I know they're both the same thing really. But I've noticed that when I remain aware and start to see images start to appear, surrounding myself in it using all my senses and believing I'm already there seems to work better than staring at it until it becomes real.

I also experienced pure vibrations the other day as-well, not just my body falling asleep and locking up, but actual vibrations like a mobile (cell) phone. Just wanted to post saying that, because the OBE I had was quite interesting, can't remember if I posted my experience here but it was definitely more than twice as nice as the other one I posted here. I literally refused to look in the mirror because I know I'd end up regretting it. This is the status I made about it on Facebook.

Had another OBE, but this time I had a little more control. Remembered not to look in the mirror and went outside. It's so weird, it's as clear as day, sometimes nicer than in real life, but my house is always completely different but same in layout. The pathway going towards the road from my door slants upwards and people have vases in their front garden. People still have cars though, lol

It really is a beautiful subject to play around with, hopefully this will become easier and easier and hopefully at some point I will be able to do this via meditation.

Edit: What the **** is with the spam recently on the forum?

I'm just wondering, is it possible to do this? What I mean by hooking to someone else on an energy level, I mean in theory achieving things such as telepathy or deepened empathy on both sides, just by thinking about them or seeing a picture of them and identifying their energy by any means. Would you have to be quite an experienced psychic to achieve such thing? Or could someone who's dabbled in psychic activity or even an atheist who's never been bothered do it too?

I don't really know what to coin this, so I'll just call it an OBE for the sake of giving it a name. I wrote it down so I wouldn't have to worry about forgetting about it, but I'm confused as some things and wanted to know if people could give me some tips on not having such a weird and discomforting experience next time. Here's what I wrote down..

I wasn't entirely sure if this was a plain and simple lucid dream or an out of body experience, either way I consciously induced it using the simple method of focusing on my breathing shortly after waking. When I was there, I was in a room with some random guy who said something that I cannot remember. Later I just happened to be in a room with a wall mirror. I looked into the mirror, however I didn't see me as I was. I saw a version of me that looked like a psychopath, with hair all over the place as if I gelled it and then rubbed it with a towel, white sand covered half my face and my facial expression (in the mirror) looked insane, smiling manically. I then found myself in the bathroom in the tub, same thing when I looked into the mirror, although my hair changed its direction, was still a scary sight. So then a toothbrush floated out of a coat pocket that was somehow hanging from the rail, I grabbed it and dropped it out of paranoia. Afterwards I found myself in that room with a wall mirror again, not my bathroom; the one before that. I looked into the mirror to see I looked normal again, flat hair that was the same as in real life, clean face. Although my jaw unhinged itself and floated to the left, this stopped when I looked away (because I felt it happening).

Note: The first time I looked into the mirror, the piece of my short on-top of my right nipple began to dissolve and my nipple began to burn inwards. This cured when I looked away.

If anyone here is on the group page on Facebook, you'll have already seen this, I just thought I'd post it here to see if anyone else could share anything. Mainly to do with..

• Why do I look like a freak in the mirror and why does it cause pain or discomfort to my dream/energy body?
• Why couldn't I remember where I was fully and seem to teleport unconsciously, whilst forgetting how?
• At one moment I got paranoid that someone else was controlling this dream, not me, would there be any truth in that?
• I couldn't control my surroundings at all, why?

I guess I still have some way to go eh? I've just got my hands on Robert Monroe's trilogy so I'm going to get reading that, but if anybody could give me a quick "Calm down, it's fine", that would be awesome. Personally I've found my body waking up quicker than normal for the past two days so I haven't been able to do it, usually I need to wait until my body starts seeing through its eyelids, or peering into another place altogether before I get anywhere.

Edit: I kept doing reality checks by looking in the mirror now and then, as-well as my hands, then finding I was still sleep.

I was talking with a friend earlier about the subject of fear and how Hollywood definitely hasn't helped in dealing with our fear. The conversation originally started with Ouija Boards and I was asking how why they're supposedly so evil, and she said it's because they open a gateway for entities, and that confused me slightly but it also scared me. I've never used one and probably never will, but because of my wild imagination, I started feeling scared, and that lead me to having even more scary thoughts and a rant on why the media hasn't helped us by making it pleasurable for some people to be scared. I then started to think that maybe the reason I find astral projection so difficult is because I have fears subconsciously. If I was to sleep in the dark with no covers, I'd probably have a panic attack from fear. I still sleep with the light on, because I just can't deal with it, I've always been tremendously scared of things I've always tried to convince myself is hopefully just all in my head.

Anyway, my question is, is it possible to completely wipe out my fear of anything without putting myself in the situation that scares me? Would there be some sort of hypnotherapy for it? I don't really have a life situation which would help me in any way, I don't have any friends to hang out with, my light-switch is out of reach and there are no plugs near my bed so I can't use a bed-side lamp, and even if there were plugs near my bed, I have a sink that's directly next to my bed so I can't have a bed-side table. I have a big house and I can't even go to the bathroom without having a clear view from classic "Dare you to go down there" pictures. My dad doesn't perceive emotions the way 'normal' people do because has Asperger Syndrome worse than I do. So I'm pretty much on my own with this, and I'm clueless on what I can do to help myself.

In a way I'm glad the law of attraction takes weeks to happen if not months. I've read that fear can manifest in none-physical form, but whether that's just in our heads I don't know. So how can I get rid of it completely?

I just find it weird how nobody has tried this. I was just talking with someone about the Boston bombings, she shared a long post on why it's a false flag and it got me thinking. You get people who take apart the official stories in a every in-depth manner, but you never hear about any psychics being involved in finding them out. What would happen if people did? Would they be taken out for meddling with their plans, etc?

Just wondering, 'cause mine usually do when "It" starts to happen, kinda puts me off..

So I was reading something by Robert Bruce I found on Google saying you can manifest anything you want in the astral plane, even stars you've seen in a movie, but my question is. Is it actually possible to summon up other people? Because when I read that, I suddenly got the mental image of someone accidentally summoning Carrie Fisher when feeling creative after watching Star Wars. How would someone know? Like for another example, say I wanted to learn something and summoned a teacher and then asked him how to do it, how do I know I'm not actually summoning the consciousness of that person?

Okay okay, I think I have the basic idea of how to get into SP now. I know it's not the only way to do it but the last two times I had involuntary sleep paralysis I could easily slip into an OBE after, so I'm trying that again, but two questions:

1. When I woke up this morning, I laid on my side and I got a massive urge to roll over but I ignored it with the intention of going into SP but instead I fell asleep, is that a sign that it technically worked?

2. Will the intention to AP alone keep my mind awake?

3. My hands don't exactly know where to lie, I like to sleep on my side and the roll-over urge only really comes over me when I sleep on my side, but I don't know how to position my arms without it using unnecessary muscle or touching my skin.

Basically I just need a method of knowing how to keep my mind awake.

I just can't do it, I find sitting down easier for simple meditation because I don't get tempted to turn round and go back to sleep. And where the chairs are in my house, there usually isn't a window with annoying distractions right next to it like annoying neighbours or a birds nest (seriously!), but when I'm sitting with legs uncrossed and hands on lap, my hands keep involuntarily jerking and even with isochronic tones, I can't get out of body. Anyone else have this problem? Any practical advice anyone could give me?

Listen to when he talks about feeling yourself feeling the walls and floating..

It leads to feeling a sinking sensation..
This is exactly what I experience and it works to an extent, however soon after the sinking stops and I feel like I'm back where I started, consciously more than anything. Have I got to use that sinking sensation to do something or just wait until it happens a forth time or something? I'm trying not to notice it but it's distracting.

The reason I ask is because for some reason I have more of a subconscious fear of AP'ing at night..

I'm just wondering, because I am myself so I just wanted to hear how (if anyone here has it) astral projection is managed by some, as the symptoms can be quite distracting.

I thought I'd put this here because I found it interesting and as it talks about altered states of consciousness (which is partly what we discuss here) you guys may be able to give some comments.

My opinion:
Basically the book Drawing on the Right side of the brain goes off the idea that drawing itself isn't hugely reliant on the technical technique used to draw, but what your mind's eye sees. Apparently you can suck at drawing technically but if you altered your state of consciousness to see in the same way as an expert artist, you could almost replicate their success with drawing. And this is what intrigues me because I've always felt alienated from the drawing community because of my inability to draw that well. I can copy extremely simple Anime pictures without a grid but that's about my limit, would be interesting to know that just by altering the state of my consciousness, I could draw without learning all the technical "Recipes". I'm on the autistic spectrum so I'm very methodological in everything I do, but it's painful having to remember almost everything about everything just to draw something, which is why I find it comforting knowing there's a core skill involved.

But yeah, what do you guys think?

I don't know if I've asked this before, so if I have, don't ask me why I'm asking again. Lol, but has anyone ever gotten to a stage where the feet are out, the hands and arms are out, and then the head starts feeling sensitive? Sometimes I start feeling like air is coming into my ears quite fast, and only a handful of times I've started feeling like I was falling because of it. My only concern is that, the falling feeling is good because that usually turns into an exit, but it's getting to that stage I'm confused about. The only times it's happened is when it was completely unexpected and feels like a complete shortcut I randomly had through pure luck.

Has anyone had the feeling with ears, and managed to consciously induce the feeling of falling and turned it into an exit? If so I'd appreciate some advice on it.

Actually whilst I'm here, what does having your legs out feel like? Because sometimes when my feet are apart and I'm keeping still, my feet start feeling like they're touching when they're not.

I find when I'm in bed in the morning I have more distractions than anything, which includes the potential of sleeping in, having sleep in my eye, wanting to turn over and go back to sleep, wanting to get up and check my emails and generally do what anyone else does when they wake up in the morning. I find I'm relaxed more when I get into bed when I'm tired at night, my eyes want to close rather than me putting effort into my muscles, I have all the time I need and I can safely fall to sleep if I want to know whilst knowing I'm not going to wake up at 3:00pm or even 4:00pm.

Anyone else feel this way when it comes to astral projection? I'm not saying I've actually consciously done it yet, but I find that I think I have more of a potential to do it at night than in the morning. I still haven't tried waking back to bed yet, I don't think the alarm works on my phone and I keep going to bed at daft times like 4:00am which makes it a bit confusing because people usually get up at 9:00am, not go back to bed.

I only ask because I like to have routine, when I say I'll do something "Sometimes" I'll probably not end up doing it. So I thought if I used the WBTB technique for 3-4 days a week I could say organised when using what I find the easiest lucid dreaming/astral projection technique.

Guys I need comments because I want answers. For the past few weeks now I've been getting outstandingly lonely and depressed, and my compassion has felt through the roof with some people I've spoken to. Specifically at home it feels particular stressful sometimes, if I don't listen to music constantly, the only thing I'll hear if my dad yawning stupidly loudly every ten seconds and whistling every-time he gets off his chair to do something, until he sits back down again. I don't talk to that many people at all, just a few people who make me feel guilty and/or silly when I say I'm depressed on my Facebook status, and less than a handful of people I actually talk to when I can online. One of which basically forgets about his computer when his mates are round so I can only talk to him sometimes compared to when I spoke to him all the time. The other is a girl who, online I've felt quite attracted to for a few years now, is amazingly good looking and is always friendly. But the problem with her is that sometimes I feel like she only wants to talk to a specific type of person, like a better looking guy than me, but I can't be 100% sure, it just feels that way.

Now my problem stems from more than just that, I hate being lonely, it sounds completely pathetic but it seems since Facebook became popular and almost everyone in this town I went to college in finished singling me out and bullying me, I've had little to no social communication with anyone and this has lead to me thinking that nobody even gives a excrement no matter how much I tell them and no matter how much I make my opinion known. It's also lead to me assuming that people don't really want to be anything to do with me because I'm 'tiny' compared to the 'giants' they're talking to or could be talking to.

Then on-top of this loneliness and inferiority complex I have my issue with money, I've wanted it for so long now (school, and after five years of education after school) that it's become a big depression for me that it's not there. I know I shouldn't focus on my lack of money because it would (apparently) attract more of a lack, but I can't help but feel slapped in the face as each day passes by the British government, where-as all they want being slave labour and nobody getting paid.

Today I had an outburst, finally, into tears. I couldn't give in any longer. I had my first day at this (unpaid obviously) work experience placement and that went okay because I felt useful and social, met some lovely people. But when I came home and I felt lower than any time before, because deep down I knew I was in for another week or nothingness and aloneness. And the girl I mentioned earlier was talking about a film, and I was saying I haven't seen it, but then she put as her Facebook status that no-one listens to her, so I messaged her saying that I listened to her. But then I saw on her status someone asking her who was ignoring her and she said "Genuinely everyone". Then I lost it, I realised that I was sick and bloody tired of feeling rejected, overworked, unloved and generally not taken into account. The whole universe just felt like it was laughing at me because I was such a pathetic human being forced to deal with its excrement, everything I wanted just felt like it was over the steep mountain yet my legs were already broke for walking so long. Society singled me out of every friend circle because I was different and didn't conform to their norms, the few people I appreciate sometimes make me feel like I don't exist (I never managed to make them feel better, and if I do they don't thank me for it or don't even mention that I made any effort), and my entire life of "Aiming to get a job when I'm older" (which took maybe 15 years more or less) was a load of bullying, alienation and a massive conjunction of useless misinformation forced down my throat.

Now I mention chakras because I definitely feel my heart chakra and root chakras reacting a lot. Lots of sexual attraction for female friends mixed in with emotional attraction, followed by the feeling of inferiority, loneliness and depression. I can't feel anything other than mass sadness and wasted compassion because nothing I do or feel is enough. This has lead to me being very on-edge and stressed (also adding my home situation) all the time but also on the verge of crying days on end. I just don't know what to do, life is laughing me in the face because my own thoughts are lowering my vibration by the day - Thoughts caused by other peoples' lack of care that I exist, their probable disgust, my history of probably working for nothing. Sometimes I'd prefer the idea of my soul going "Oh bonk this excrement" and leaving my body to go home, or somewhere better.

At this moment of typing I feel very drained from all this, but I need help from someone who knows about chakras and if my experiences are connected

Lately my sleeping pattern has lead me to going to bed in the early afternoon, let's say 2:00pm, and waking up when everybody would be going to bed on a busy day, let's say 11:00pm. I've finally broken it by telling myself to stay in bed after waking up at 11:00pm, I kept going in and out of sleep until 7:00am. But before I got up at 7:00am I had my first out-of-body experience that happened via pure will, I didn't see anything or stay out for more than a minute but I managed to feel the separation. I say it was my first time doing it via pure will because normally getting sleep paralysis is very rare and will happen for no apparent reason and with no conscious effort involved, but then I would make the conscious decision to (try and) leave my body, but this time I managed to use technique. I would imagine myself standing in the middle of the road near my mum's house for a certain period of time, and when it became a little more real I would remember that I was still lying in bed and imagining this scenario, and the duel-consciousness would (for some reason) summon vibrations.

When I did it the first time I managed to escape through my back, but the second time wasn't so easy. For some reason my ears start pounding with vibration when trying to escape, it didn't do it much the first time before I just left my body, but the second time every-time I tried to exit, my ear would feel like it was tingling but amplified 50 times over, like how it feels when someone yells in your ear. I couldn't hear anything but every-time I tried to exit my ears felt like they were being blown with lots of air and yelled in.

I'm not sure I'll be able to do this tomorrow morning but I'll give it a shot and see if I can persevere with my technique. When I'm in the vibrating stage I feel like my face is disintegrating, even sometimes I start feeling like somebody has punched me in the face or something akin to a lot of pressure. So maybe I should keep that feeling going somehow.

There's something else as-well. When I separated, I'm guessing that I was behind my physical body in bed, but I couldn't see, it was all Black and I couldn't really navigate anywhere, I thought moving my astral body would help but it didn't, moving wasn't easy at all and I don't think I succeeded in even doing that.

Anybody got any tips on how I can proceed?

I hate it, when I'm reminded that I have accounts on dead Internet forums or accounts on dead social networking sites like Bebo and MySpace with friends that I have long forgotten and that have long forgotten me, I find myself in an emotionally light-headed state of both emptiness and confusion. I'm always trying to remove memories of the past, even if it was memories of the middle of December from people I still talk to. When I go through something eventful I always make a major change in my lifestyle or home to remove myself from memories of such incident or event; like breaking up with my girlfriend of two years, or graduating with my foundation degree.

I'm starting to feel uncomfortable using this computer as the last time it was formatted was long before I started doing my Game Design BTEC back in 2009.

I'm trying to move forward as much as possible, with my interest in writing and looking forward to this job I have a good chance of getting, but I seem to be someone who absolutely despises bringing himself back into his younger self.

I'm a believer in the law of attraction and I'm entirely convinced it the personality and curiosity I had in my youth that lead me becoming potential friends with people. But because I'm so much different now, not being into Anime communities, not being interested to further my understanding of lucid dreaming, losing my interest altogether in Web Design/Coding, my curiosity and child-like self has faded and this is what has ultimately attracted me into this lonely nostalgic feeling all the time.

Anyone else felt anything similar.

Hey guys, random question, does meditation require lowering your brain frequency? The reason I'm asking is because I want to use meditation to entrain positive thinking, but I like being able to say awake and focussed as-well.

I just can't comprehend how the average human being has the ability to visualise and draw in such an accurate manner. I mean, how? When I daydream or lucid dream, the details aren't enough to be able to project onto paper directly from my subconscious whilst I trace it, I just don't get it.

I'm not just whining btw, the question is in the title, lol

Hey all, I originally posted this on another forum (specific to manifestation) but I never got a reply.

Just wondering if this is a healthy strategy to take and I'll explain why I think this is the easiest way for me. Basically what I want to do is wait until a specific time of day and meditate for about half an hour at a time for each thing I want to happen (so say, one hour if I want to manifest two things). So this is what I want to do, so could I have comments on my plan?

1. What I want to do first is set a time (let's say five o'clock) specific for me to meditate.

2. Set a timer on my phone so that every time half an hour passes it will somehow alert me, via either vibration or tone.

3. I will sit there and get comfortable, then I will generate the feeling of having the desire achieved whilst visualising it and basically getting my subconscious all excited about the thought and feeling.

4. I will be strict and keep those thoughts and feelings until half an hour passes, then I will do the same thing for another desire, assuming I'll have another thing in mind.

5. I will do this daily and go for walks and generally do positive things even if they're not really anything to do with my desire.

So that's my plan, but I need some criticism. Is my meditation time too short? Am I not doing it right? Is there anything I could do as-well that'll make the process more fun or powerful? Basically I think this is easiest because I find it stressful having to do strict mental work all day, so I think honing in and doing all the mental work at round about a set specific time will be easier. If I tried to believe I already had the desire all day I would probably forget and get distracted, and it would obviously kill off the supposed "Law of Detachment" if I get obsessed.

Thanks guys.

You know when you hear relaxing ocean waves when your body's vibrating? What is it?

Recently I've been thinking about stopping perusing my interest in Lucid Dreaming and Astral Projection because it's making my sleeping routine horrible, I've found myself waking up at 3:30pm or on a really unlucky day, 4:30pm. It's been causing distress and discomfort and is only making my days even more uneventful. All it takes is one little thought of "Should I try it now" to fail, forget, and fall asleep. I can't do it, not until I improve my chances by changing my physical environment anyway.

Anyway, I then had a dream this afternoon of my brother telling me I should stop trying to lucid dream because it's just screwing me around and not getting me anywhere. And I've always known him to give me good advice in the past that's useful, never for dreaming stuff though.

At the end of the day though I still want to master astral projection, I find my physical life meaningless and with no direction. Every problem I have with waking life comes to a full stop because the solution is too complicated, such as what to do about University or getting a job, or getting a social life in general. So these questions may be answered with the ability to astral project because a lot of other things supposedly stem from that such as peace and being more in-tune with psychic ability in general.

Though as I said to Szaxx on another thread I made (I think), as soon as I get a method under the belt for either lucid dreaming or astral projection, the symptoms and signs suddenly disappear until I least expect them to, and this just makes things even worse. But I suppose now I'm going on a tangent, basically, what should I do to fix this problem?
