If you're looking for more information about this, I write a lot about it in my posts here at the Pulse or in my free ebook which you can download from my website (link is in my signature below).  Everything on my website is 100% free (except the Amazon store, which, obviously I have no control over  ).

I'll definitely look into this when I wake up. Dreams have been a big interest of mine for years now. 

Yeah! I tried really hard to ignore it. I knew I was breathing, but I couldn't feel it, so my body was freaking out and my heart started to race.

I think I've read on here that dreaming is also a form of AP? I don't really understand this.. I thought dreaming was just our subconscious thoughts... I mean, I've definitely had precognitive dreams or dreams where I could feel something out of place that I thought didn't belong in my dream with me, but even those dreams are highly over powered by my subconscious.... Like when I have had precognitive dreams about people dying, it's like my subconscious tries it best to scramble and put a bunch of mess into the dream to where I almost miss what is really the reason of the dream...

I had a dream once surrounding several family members, and with each person I got an feeling of their emotions, but the whole plot to the dream made no sense.. In the dream setting it was a place where you should be relaxing and having fun. A sort of Resort get away.. My cousin I got the feeling of intense anger, My brother was distracted with his phone, My mom was stressed and doing things out of character.. She caught my attention most in the dream.. I was shocked by the way she was acting. In disbelieve... The final person, her husband at the time sad that he was tired and got up and walked away into a light... Upon waking from this dream I was like... He's going to die, because at the time I associated walking into a bright light with death, because of religious background. Over the next couple of days after I had that dream. My mom's deceased husband was put into the hospital for what they thought was pneumonia... but after  doing test and running some scans they found out that he had stage 4 cancer...

Has anyone ever felt like they have stopped breathing whilst trying to AP? Is that normal? I mean do you even breath in the astral : P?

I've had plenty of nightmares, some pretty messed up ones, but right now I feel like they hardly affect me. I've talked about it with my boyfriend and he kept asking me why was I so scared... That's what I'd like to know.  By Non-Physical.. what do you mean by that?

This happened about a week ago, I was over at my boyfriends' house and I had fallen asleep next to him watching a movie. He ended up passing out too and after a couple hours I jolted awake. I wasn't dreaming and everything was quiet in the house and normally if I do wake up through the night for whatever reason, I practically ignore everything and will instantly go back to sleep. This time I couldn't because I was extremely terrified. I laid there for a while trying to calm down, but after I couldn't I got up and went for a restroom break, still pretty afraid. I sat on the couch almost in tears, not understanding why I felt so scared. Eventually I tried to wake up my boyfriend to see if he would take me home, but he was passed out, so despite my fear I laid back down and tried to fall asleep. The next morning when we woke up, my boyfriend was like "You were shivering in your sleep, Did you have a bad dream" and I was like ">: ( I tired to wake you up, I was scared out of my mind"

Any ideas what this could have been?

I don't know, I just feel like if I'm not making progress, then I must be doing something wrong.. Not that I am, my mind just tells me I am.

This subject makes me think of people with multi-personality disorders. Maybe in those instances, two souls are coexisting in body?
I once had a dream, where I shot out of my own body into someone else's and took over theirs and then picked up my body. It was a pretty unusual dream for me.

I would like to begin sharing my attempts and experiences trying to AP here.. Kind of a a journal, I guess. Any advice would be appreciated as I progress on this journey. If you have any questions about me or would just like to talk, I would be more than willing to have conversations with you guys! : ) Thanks for any help and all help in the future. <3

First off a little about me. I generally sleep 10-12 hours, any less than that and I have a hard time lasting through out the day. If I take a nap.. well that usually turns out to be 5-8 hours. It takes me 5-30 mins to fall asleep depending on how tired I am. So, continuing to last night, I wanted to try and AP. I know exactly how to keep my mind from falling asleep, at least fully. I laid on my back and with the intent to "switch my consciousness" to my astral self. It was pretty difficult to fight off the thoughts that tend to override my conscious thoughts as my body begins to fall asleep and at one point my thoughts just stop completely. So, it felt like nothingness, I wasn't aware of my body or that I had a body nor was I aware that I could think.... very strange feeling. So, I woke up from this state and was like "oh yeah...I was suppose to be doing something" and as my brain began to shift back into gear. I again repeated through the steps until I ended back in that feeling of nothingness. The only thing I feel like im aware of in that state is blackness, its like not emotion, no physical feeling and no thought.. just blackness. I did all of that once more before I just gave up, rolled off and went to my normal habits of falling asleep.

Thanks for the welcoming! : ) Can't wait to share any experiences I have and maybe get some guidance with what I'm doing wrong.

Hello everyone, I'm Ellury (not my real name) and I'll be turning 20 in July. I first heard of AP in 2009-2010 and became really interested in it. I became super obsessed with spiritual stuff and would try to AP a couple hours every night, unfortunately with no success. The only thing that I benefited from was increased remembrance of dreams and trying to AP actually got rid of my SP.

When I was a kid I would get really bad SP and the only thing I could do was open my eyes, I couldn't shift them, so I would generally be staring up at the ceiling fan panicking. I would try to scream for help and try to get the signals through so my body would move. I was terrified of the thought of never being able to move again and when I finally woke my body up I would be nervous to go back to sleep, since it had a tendency to happen more than once.

Well time went on and I doubted if any of the stuff existed or that if that it did, maybe that it wasn't something that I could do. I stopped messing with AP and all my dreams went away with it. I stopped hearing words that I never heard before while sleeping, I stopped dreaming of people passing away and I stopped seeing unexplained things. Now that I've been drawn back to everything, it's even more difficult to do anything and I have like almost no results, and no guidance. I hear people say to just ask your guides, but either im deaf, they aren't there, or they don't want to help me.

Whatever ever the case is, I'm going to keep trying. I'm so jealous of people who progressed already.. Not with envy but an excited jealous-ness that makes me smile.
