What do you do when you're remembering a large number of dreams with a large amount of detail?

This is the situation I am currently in. I have to record several dreams now from each night, and it has got to the point where a night's worth of dreaming could end up amounting to 10 A4 pages worth of writing. One could say to only write down the ones that seem most important, but how can you really know?

What's worse is that I still haven't been able to take full control of my dreams  in any kind of regular way, though I have had several false awakenings - especially when using a particular suggestion/affirmation to induce Lucid Dreams.

My dream recall is obviously at a relatively high level now, but beyond this, I'm really quite stuck.

Does anyone have any advice/suggestions to offer? Please?

Hi all.

Just a curiosity more than anything else.

I've experienced a number of false awakenings the past week. Each one was kind of odd, i won't go into the details of them though. I've only had one full projection since I started (seriously) trying to leave my body. I also had a half OBE this morning - I had a kind of dual-consciousness thing going on, and was also half in, half out. More on that later.

Is this a sign that I'm sufficiently screwing up my subconscious (lol - I'm just kidding) to bring me closer to having conscious OBEs?

I've actually also considered the possibility that I may well have had some conscious OBEs already but didn't retain the memory of them. This only occurred to me because of a couple bizarre dreams I've had (aside from the false awakenings). But that's just an aside.

What is it with the False Awakenings?

Thanks in advance for any help and light shed on the subject.  

Man, I can barely contain my excitement!

I don't want this to turn too long but... I was basically in the middle of a dream and for some reason beyond me, it suddenly just *clicked* that I was in a dream! But I was still a bit skeptical. I was in my bedroom and my brother turns up at our house and he walks in and he looks taller than usual, and strong and powerful. I go up to him and tell him to say my name (kind of like a test, I'm not sure). He argues/queries me about it for a moment but then says it. He says it really slowly, pronouncing every letter and syllable perfectly, and powerfully. His voice seems to resonate. Immediately I become supreeemely ecstatic...I don't even know why! But I realise I'm lucid in a dream and I'm my proper self again.

The virtual Ecstasy though almost blows me right out of lucidity so I start spinning around enthusiastically saying "I'm dreaming! I'm dreaming!" I stop spinning but see that I'm not there yet so I spin a little more and then stop again. Everything is crystal clear.

Now I'm at a point where it looks and feels so real (even down to the texture of the carpet under my feet, and the hardness of the floor - bizarre) that I'm wondering if it actually is real? So I try to manifest a chocolate gateau cake -mmmm..- . But nothing happens. I try again, but still nothing. So I shout (or think) out, "Take me to where I need to go." or something close to those words, and there's suddenly a kind of 'shift'. I'm in *a version of* my bedroom. I look out the  window and see a different area of my flats and figure I must be creating part of what I'm seeing (if not all of it). I lose interest in whats outside and walk out of my room. I can see my brother asleep in the bedroom next to mine (definitely a thought projection - it aint really him). I turn to my ma's room and she's in there with my youngest niece. I'm pretty sure they weren't real either. Then I think to myself that I'd like to tell them all that this isn't real and that they're dreaming, but get worried that I might freak 'em out lol, especially if it actually *is * real. Then I see my older niece (a 10 yr old) and I say to her, "K- Do you know that you're dreaming?" She giggles and replies, "No I'm not", continuing to laugh. I'm also laughing and in a state of sheer bliss...

With that, everything disappears, and I'm back in my bed feeling fresh as a daisy! lol. Not feeling groggy or anything. I'm so Happy right now it's ridiculous. There's so much more to say about the whole night last night but this'll do for now. Thanks for baring with me!

Lucid dream, or OBE, or both...It was f---ing awesome!!!

I feel like I wanna tell the whole world!

I think I just might...



abyss.

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me make some sense of something that happened to me last night. All input appreciated!  

Basically I was practicing last night (like a good boy) astral projection techniques. What seemed to be working for me was to sit in a comfortable chair, and spend just a moment quieting my mind, just a minute, while deep breathing. Then I went through progressive muscle relaxation until I felt physically relaxed all over. Again, once I was physically relaxed, I took another moment to still my mind again and then done an energy raising exercise I read online in the Treatise on Astral Projection by Robert Bruce (he's awesome). Then once done with the energy raising (which I shortened slightly so that I wouldn't get bored or restless) I stopped again to relax my mind for a minute before going straight for the 'Rope' technique, again from Robert Bruce.

I 'felt' myself reaching out just ahead of me, and grabbing hold of a thick rope. I slowly reached one hand in front of the other and I could actually feel pressure within myself, as if I was torn and part of me really was trying to pull out, but just wasn't loose enough. At this point I imagined/felt myself putting one foot up (as if there was a wall in front of me) so as to give myself more leverage, and then the other foot. Imagine someone sliding down the side of a mountain or building on a rope, abseiling . It felt like it was working for a while but then the harder I tried to focus on this reaching and pulling, the more I noticed a couple of my fingers and toes twitching. So, I decided to stop and relax my muscles again, realising that they weren't as relaxed as I thought. Once I had done that, I started again with the rope technique but then decided instead to just sit with a quiet mind and see what happened...

I'm not sure how long I was sat like this, maybe a few minutes, when I felt something change. My awareness seemed to "move" from being "where it normally is" to the background. It felt like my consciousness had literally "moved back" and sunken a little deeper into my head/body. Also, I felt the temperature drop by a noticeable amount, like a there was a sudden draft, but obviously, there wasn't. The skin on my arms and legs and face were all suddenly cooler. The darkness changed as well. I'm sure in fact that there was a second or 2 when I could actually see my legs (or astral legs) through my closed eyelids, but then I lost it to another sensation...something peculiar. I felt like I wasn't upright  It was like I was suddenly tilted about 45 degrees to my left, and I seemed to be stuck there. I could barely feel my body but I knew I could still move it though - I wasn't at full Paralysis. I felt lighthead, kind of disoriented (as you could imagine). I stayed like this for maybe a few minutes - kinda just soaking in the atmosphere and getting used to the sensations - but I was also trying to decide what to do next. I wasn't scared but the sensations were definitely quite distracting for me - which is probably why I thought it a good idea to take the opportunity to really experience the situation and get used to it. I knew I was too caught up by it all to continue any further so I slowly brought myself back.

Quite pleased with myself I went back upstairs and stopped off at the bathroom. I was washing my hands when I looked in the mirror and noticed something odd. My eyes looked different - quite noticeably. When I say my eyes, I'm talking more specifically about the iris (coloured part) of each eye. They looked much brighter and lighter than usual, with an orange tint to them, they looked almost on the verge of glowing!  Now I know perceptions are altered when you go into any form of trance and I considered maybe I didn't come out of it properly(?). I don't know, but my eyes were definitely different in appearance from usual. My eyes are normally a deep kinda brown by the way. I'm a black guy so use your imagination . I stayed in the bathroom a couple of minutes looking at my eyes. I looked around me but nothing else looked different.

They're back to "normal" now (next day) but I'm wondering if anyone can relate any experiences they've had with what I've just described. It wouldn't be the first time I've seen things after engaging in Astral Projection exercises but those things were ghost like and "airy", and quite some time ago. This was much more solid and real, and fixed.

Any comments/feedback would be greatly appreciated

Hi everyone at Astral Pulse  

I'm abyss, I live in London, England. I've been focused on spirituality for a few years now (healing, clairvoyance and naturally, Astral Projection, among other things).

Who knows how long I'll be here but, while I'm here, I'm sure I'll connect with a lot of interesting people. I'm looking forward to sharing experiences with ya'll.

Love. Light.
