Yesterday throughout the day I asked for a guide to assist me in my dreams since ive had trouble maintaining conscious awareness during dreams, despite an increase in clarity of "vision". This morning I woke up thinking I had just another night of awesome random dreams but now I am remembering being accompanied the entire night by a wise jedi knight, complete with lightsaber. I know this sounds like some fanboy fantasy (Im really not that big into star wars), but do you think it could be possible that this could be an astral guide who has assumed the guise of what I would consider to be an acceptable 'guide' appearance? That would be pretty cool I think. I guess I'm an astral padawan now.

This question has been bothering me a lot. If the brain is necessary to astral project then that means that all entities existing within the astral dimensions have a physical brain somewhere. If this is the case astral projection would just be a brain phenomenon for the living who have unlocked its secrets. There would be no afterlife, because the dreamworld would be for physical beings only. Most depressing.

I tend to believe that the brain is not necessary for the astral world. We have no physical body within the astral so there is no need for subconscious mechanisms such as automatic heartbeat, breathing etc. This would also mean there is no true death. The fact that astral travelers like Frank Kepple & Robert Monroe have had encounters with deceased entities agrees with this theory.

Right now my energy body is weak. I can barely see in my dreams, and I have no vibrations upon falling asleep. I will get them back in time with energy work, but this leads to another question. If one is to die with a weak energy body, would their consciousness improve to a more concrete reality upon death? Will suddenly consciousness be as real as waking reality in the astral dimensions because the consciousness is no longer tied to the physical body?

I wonder if Frank's level 2 system of reality is accessible after death, since it is the subconscious mind. I would guess that upon death the consciousness is phased to another focus level, and we would feel as alive as we do today here on Earth. Either way I intend to explore all the realms before death, so I am prepared for what lies ahead on the other side. Maybe I will answer some of my own questions through my own explorations. It sure would be nice if I could go to a nice F27 Hawaii beach at night and not have to pay for the ticket!

I'm sure I'll see some of you there, as soon as I get my energy levels up to par. Last time it took only 2 weeks of meditation twice a day 15-20 minute sessions. After that my energy body was so strong I had vibrations every time I fell asleep, and lucid dreams every night. Unfortunately I had some frightening experiences and was scared away. Five years has passed and this time I'm ready. I'll rip off a demons head and tinkle down its throat if i have to! Happy travels!

I had an episode earlier where my butt felt like it was on fire or being electrically shocked. My back felt like it had wings growing out of it and the back of my head was tingling. Also I was getting electrical spasms in my hamstrings and thighs. I used to be much better at moving energy throughout my body but now it feels like its just shooting through me and freaking me out. I think the fact that I can't control it is related to anxiety. I will meditate on this.

my lucidity is terrible in my new dream. It's because I haven't meditated enough. I am yelling into a vent "helooooooooooo" and then i get a distorted echo response. Not really distorted but slightly altered like I'm just making an echo joke. This happens over and over. I have the sense of jumping to a cliff and being high in altitude. Now I'm having a conversation with a friend on top some facility built into a mountain. I can't stop thinking about symmetry. I have a really strong image of symmetry like the cliff. Not sure if it's related.

I thought i might have seen a yellow colored LED type light come through my blinds and heard a what sounded like a warp engine exhaust. No warbling like I usually think of it. It was very distinct and real to me. It was upon waking so i think it was some cool hypnogogics. I usually only see giant black centipedes (2ft) and giant black spiders (1ft) so I think my energy breaths are helping.
