On that note, what is the difference between a very lucid dream like that ( where she felt very much physical ) as part of a false awakening, and actually Astral Projecting?

Astral Projection and Lucid Dreaming seem very similar, in fact sometimes when I'm having a Lucid Dream I become confused in my dream, thinking I'm Astral projecting lol
The biggest difference I think, is a general 'feel' 

I've heard about Astral furniture, that's what I was thinking, but there wasn't one piece of furniture that belonged to me in the room.. is it still possible this was an OBE? It was an amazing experience, regardless whether it was a Lucid dream or OBE.

So, last night, I was lying my little boy down for bedtime (he sleeps with me), and I decided that since he had already fallen asleep I would try to AP. I rolled onto my left side and started to drift off into sleep, I would wake up and fall asleep, wake up fall asleep etc. I then got strong 'buzzing', 'vibrations', and decided to intensify them. Before I knew it, I popped out! I was standing beside my bed, looking at my room. It didn't look like my room though, there was furniture there that isn't actually there. I decided I wanted to visit a past life. I shouted "Take me to a past life!" then spun around and fell backwards. I landed in a bath tub, in a big navy blue bathroom, I was a man. I was instantly afraid. The door opened and 3 men walked in, I commanded them to leave, but they didn't listen. At this point I still felt incredibly physical. They carried what I think were bats with them, they took a swing at me, and I thought "Bring me back to my physical body", I began to 'shift' back, and I was tingly all over, laying in my bed. I decided to get up, and I walked around my house. I realized after awhile that I didn't actually wake up, I was in my Astral body again. So I decided to make good use of it, spun around and fell backwards. I yelled "Take me somewhere really beautiful!"
I fell through the world at such a great speed, and went through the other end. I watched it become a dot in the distance. Even though I have read about that you cannot get lost while out of body, I got a little scared. I looked at the stars and planets, and thought that it was beautiful, but I wanted to go back to my physical body. I 'shifted' back, and got up again, thinking I was awake. I realized again, that I was out of body, and fell backwards saying "Take me somewhere I really need to be!"
This time, things were a bit different. I clould feel negative beings pulling me backwards, and down down down. I saw the different planes pass by me as they pulled me, but I saw way more than  7. They dragged me to a negative, creepy place. I can't remember what it looks like, I just remember how it felt. I remembered what I have studied though, and told them "I command you to take me back!" They didn't listen, so I told them that they can not hurt me, I would not let them. I then asked for my Higher self to take me back up. "Bring me back up, to athe higher planes." I felt myself get sucked back up, the whole process reversed, and I remember seeing a beautiful garden, all sorts of colours and nature life. The rest of my experience is just a blur, but I remember several more false awakenings, followed by me standing outside of my sleeping body yelling "Wake up!! Wake up!!" I sort of forced myself back in, and I remember having an actual dream, then finally waking up.

If anybody has taken the time to read this, do you think this was an OBE? Or a very vivid lucid dream? It had a different feel than a lucid dream, but I've only had about 3 so maybe I just don't know enough about them.
Thanks!

I've experienced that 'floating up' feeling, so many times I thought it was part of my Astral body separating. The weird thing is, this time it wasn't accompanied with any feelings of floating or 'ballooning' lol, in fact I experienced way less sensations than usual. I could feel my arms sort of .. vibrating, to where i wanted them to go, and I lost sense of my actual physical arms, when I put my arm through the pillow I could feel the texture inside of my 'energy arms', like I was a big jello cake of energy lol,

And I'm going to be honest here..
I didn't try that hard to get out, I kind of chickened out and forced myself to get up. I always get scared when I'm so close, I'm scared that if I'm scared then scary things will scare me once I get out  (because I'm imagining them)

Oh lord now what is this 'Incubus' lol

??

You ought to try intensifying the buzzing, it's really intuitive, I can't really tell you how.  If I had to, I would say I flex my consciousness.  The buzzing increases till it's almost too much and then you pop out, from there roll out, stand up, climb the rope or ladder or rope ladder  .

lol, I always try to do that, but it seems like when I intensify the buzzing it gets extreme and then dissipates and I'm still in the physical. I was using the whole 'don't think about it' method and that's how I got my Astral arms moving .. If I tried to intensify them, do you think I would detach? (for lack of a better word) Or should I just keep not thinking about it lol

hehe.. I would love to help, but unfortunately I have the same problem! Kurtykurt said something on a different topic that settled in my mind,
don't think about the future, deal with the here and now, and everything will be okay.
Just take things as they come

Well, I successfully separated from the physical . My arm was resting under a pillow and i began buzzing intensly. After a few minutes my arms became like.. a blob of energy. I started moving my arm up, into the pillow, and my hand moved with the base of my palm pushing forward. I could feel the magnetism in my hand, and I felt the material the pillow was made out of.Every time I moved, that limb would have a sequence of waves that came over it. I then realized that my elbow was inside of my bed, and I could feel the texture on the inside of my bed. I felt buzzing sensations everytime I moved, and even as I was lying still. The only problem was I couldn't get up out of my body, everything was going so slow. I tried the rope method, nada. Rolling over, I got partially over but couldn't seem to get away. Did I only partially separate?
What happened?

Seconded.
Negative entities are very few and far in number, if you're feeling uneasy, try doing the 'white light' experiment to protect yourself. As long as you believe, it will be ok.

Sorry you're having a rough time.
Perhaps you've plateaued and just need to keep trying to get going again?
I drink coffee before trying and it helps to keep me awake.. maybe it'll help you?
Sending good energy your way 

It's always good to read a book, it will give you a new, step-by-step approach to Astral Projection and related topics, I recommend Astral Dynamics: Complete book of out-of-body experiences.

I read it, it covers everything to do with AP. I'm also getting Robert Monroe's Journeys out of body, and Far journeys.

glad I'm not a man lol

Sleep paralysis can be a stage of OBE.. Congrats on your first OBE!

So far through my life experience I've learned that all the bad comes for good (if that makes sense), I don't regreat the bad stuff that has happened to me, neither my mistakes because I've learned good things from them,

That's a good thing to do, some people have alot of trouble realizing the good that comes from the bad.. But it makes every experience a learning one  Another good thing to know is how to keep sadness, sadness.. alot of times people turn sadness into anger, because they don't know how to deal with sadness. This is alot of the time a very hard thing to do..

And thanks for your response, it felt more like a learning dream than anything, so that's what I'll keep it.

Thanks for sharing! Sounds like an amazing experience 

Don't think I've ever met a 'Succubus'

Same.. what exactly is this 'Succubus' anyways?
Isn't sounding very nice lol

 
Awww I was working up a sweat wondering if it would work lol

I had a dream I had an OBE, this was awhile ago.. At least, I think it was a dream. Here, I'll copy and paste from my journal.

OBE Dream #1.
I feel the exit sensations, and am automatically transported to a different room. I can't see anything, the room is pitch black. "Clarity now!" I yell. Doesn't work, so I yell it again, and again it doesn't work. I'm stumbling around, scared, frantically asking "Why can't I see? Why can't I see? what's happening to me? Why is all this happening to me?"(By 'all this' I meant the bad things that have happened to me in my life lately - many people have died and things just generally going in a negative direction) Suddenly, I hear a deep voice say, "Just open your eyes, and you will see.".. It seems like this voice is echoing in my head as it speaks. And surely enough, I open my eyes and the world is bright and beautiful. I'm in a small, cream coloured room, with a wood end table in the far right corner of the room. There is a vase full of flowers on it. There is a window on the right wall, overlooking a beautiful garden full of life and colours.Then I blank out.
I see this as a metaphor: The bad things that have happened, happened for a reason. It is right infront of me, I just need to see what it is.

Thoughts? 

LOL

Grounded and centered? 

So judging from my account does this sound like an astral projection or do you think it's just a high-powered lucid dream? If it was an AP then why didn't I feel myself snapped back into my body? Lastly, and this is quite important to me, why didn't the person I summon respond to my calls? Can you only call upon people you know personally for them to appear? Or could this be down to the fact that he's a new spirit: he passed away 2 days before my dream.

Interesting story, thanks for sharing! I'm a lil bit of a noob still, but it sounds like you were Astral Projecting,and if you're new to AP, this would make sense.. If you stay out longer than, say, a minute your first few times APing, you will most likely lose all your memory after that. If you are experienced with AP, then maybe it was a lucid dream after all?
If it was AP, this also makes sense because if you lose your memory, you most likely won't feel 'snapped' back into your body.. And honestly, I don't know why the person you summoned didn't come. Sorry! 

 Hello Members,

I'm brand new, just registered today.  Pardon me for being a bit blunt, but I want to know if there is anyone out there who has had experience with astral sex?

Uhh.. what? lol you were on here talking about your Astral lover, remember? Go back a few pages lol

Most people are soulless (75%) due to corrupted genetics, soulless people are very selfish and in many cases immoral. Soulless people begets soulless children. Don't worry about being soulless,A soulless person would not hang around an  astral projection forum.

Where in the world did you get that from? lol
People are not born soulless, there are things that happen to people, causing themselves to become damaged and eventually they may forget who they are or once were.. That does not make them bad and/or soulless people, it means they lost their way.

I wouldn't lie to you captain. My friend had fallen asleep and the entity took over his body at that time. It's commonly accepted that when we sleep our energy body projects to another place or in other words your soul leaves your body.

What makes you think your energy body is your soul? If this were the case, would people not be getting their bodies taken over every night? A theory that is commonly accepted is your consciousness stays in your body and is mirrored toward your Astral body while you sleep. Have you ever Astral Projected only to find that a being has taken over your body since your soul left it? I haven't heard of even 1 case of this happening. And if your theory is correct, then why would somebody even be able to come back to their bodies' once an entity inhabited it?
I agree with the other guy who said that a being can attach itself to your body, meaning 2 souls are in it at the same time, not a being kicking your soul out of your body.

While biologically it can survive, if the soul was real and it left because the physical body died, wouldn't the severed head die anyway - because the soul or the energy would had left?

Sounds like the animal would function as more of a 'robot' than an actual animal with emotions and such.. It's actually very scary to think of. The Bible states that the first person born without a soul is the beginning of the end of the world..
Now I know this animal is not human and it is not being born per se, but it is sort of a manufactered-birth.. if you know what I mean.
I don't follow the Bible, but it is scary stuff to think about.
