Congrats to you with this experience.

A tip, sleep paralysis isn't required to have an OBE so I wouldn't focus on it to much. It might actually hold you back from achieving one if you focus on it to much. And as for the fear, there is nothing to fear  As you see you control your dreams, you control your OBEs. If you see something scary, take it on with courage and love. You'll feel a lot better after you take it on then if you just run in fear. The worst that can happen ? You wake up in amazement in your physical body at what just happened and what you saw. 

and i cant believe i controlled my dream on my first try, thats lucid dreaming right

You were lucid dreaming from the start, once you realized you were dreaming. You don't have to control the dream in order for it to be considered a lucid dream.

Then i find myself fully lucid inside the dream.

You don't need anyone to tell you it was, you said it yourself.
The best thing you can do is trust yourself.

I agree with Contento.

I do believe, if I'm not mistaken, you have the right to sue the cop.
He didn't read you your rights, violation number one on his part.
He didn't have any suspicion that you were UTI (I'm guessing), so he has no right to assume and arrest you. Violation number two.

But what really gets me is how I was treated.  I was dizzy, dazed, in shock and ultimately found out I had a concussion (I went to the hospital today and had a CAT Scan).  But instead of offering medical assistance, the officer arrested me.  Then he repeatedly denied me my right to call my attorney.  I wasn't read my rights, I was treated poorly and now I have to deal with all this legal crap.  It just pisses me off that a cop can pretty much do whatever he or she wants.  He wouldn't even allow me to exchange insurance info with the people I hit (the cop was sitting at a gas station next to the stop light so he saw it all happen and was on me before I even got out of my car).

Just remember to bring all this up in court. Seems like you should have an easy case, maybe this is your time to get some extra money
They can't do whatever they want, sometimes you gotta show them your balls in order to get respect from them because they THINK, and want you to think, they can do whatever they want like they're above the law when they aren't in no shape or form.

Every time I have to deal with cops and I know I'm innocent I just show them that a little plastic badge isn't gonna make me scared and after that they stop acting like Mr. Bad cop and start showing you some respect. Just be honest with it

Best of luck to you my friend !

I sometimes have dreams where I'm in school still, I'm out already and plan on going to college this fall semester.

What I think, I think your having a normal dream. Even more normal that you still are in school having these dreams, lol.

Karma or the Law of Attraction ? But I guess they are kind of the same thing.

Glad to hear you enjoyed the books !

[This is just my way of looking at life, its made it sooo much more enjoyable]

This is just my way of looking at life, its made it sooo much more enjoyable
I'm beginning to really see the fun within all this positive and negative stuff. We all have read that there is no positive and negative, of course this is true, but it's hard to see how people can think this if you keep attracting situations that don't bring you joy. You have to look deep down within to actually find the true reason and joy of how this can be so.

If you begin to look at yourself as having 3 consciousnesses it gets a little easier (from my perspective)
Your Higher Self > You > Your Ego.
Your in the middle of this duality consciousness game still trying to learn and remember how to be.
The Higher Self and The Ego are still you because they have been created by you, in a sense. So you must understand that these other 2 'consciousness' are you.

Your Higher Self aka God
Wants what's best for you, but won't get in the way of your ego. It will attract everything your ego wants, in order to help you. It holds all the knowledge of the universe and the power to attract situations, events, and your addictions to you.
Your Ego aka Lucifer
Also wants what's best for you but won't hesitate to use force, so it over shadows your HS because we are unaware of what's really happening on the inside. This is where all the conditioning and things we learned due to society and our culture, and all of our addictions are held waiting for you to begin this spiritual path so all this can be used to help us learn and remember.
You
An old soul that's been here since the beginning trying to remember the way of how to be. You know there's no positive or negative but have just forgotten because we choose to come back to Earth where we knew we would lose connection with God but all for the sake of enjoyment and learning.

Now we can look at our Ego as being some type of monster or villain that's trying to control us and make us live by it's standards, but this will only cause tension and resistance and increase the likely hood of the opposite thing we want to be attracted to us. Or we can look at it as another consciousness that's here to play this little game with us and help us, which will then cause the tension and resistance to dissolve. We can look at our Higher Self as some higher power that's trying to help abolish this Ego and turn you into some Higher Being. Or we can look at our Higher Self as another consciousness that's here, along with The Ego, to help us learn and remember and enjoy The Game of LIFE and help change The Ego. (I do believe this is why they made a board game called 'The Game of LIFE') Our Ego and Higher Self will work together, the HS attracting our addictions that our Ego has and of course our Ego will tempt us to fall back into these addictions, hoping you won't but at the same time wanting its desires to be meet.

I found that once I began seeing it this way the duality consciousness of good and bad within me has begun to fade every so quickly and I see The Higher Self and The Ego working together in this game to help me grow and succeed.

Just the other night I had a dream with my Ego controlling me and my HS as a female that brought up sex (I'm a little addicted to sex) and they were both playing and working together. After this female brought up sex, I'd try talking her into having sex with me but my Ego would distort my words and try keeping me from my attempts. This female would just sit there and laugh, how dare she bring up sex and then continuously say no and laugh ! Lol. I found all this quite amusing when I woke up.

Has anyone else thought of it this way ?

Like I always say, this post isn't made to make anyone believe I am right or what I'm saying is true. But it resonates with me, and I find my life to be enjoyable, fun, and amusing now. Just think if you were God, you know everything, before it even happens. Wouldn't you get tired and bored with yourself ? What would you do to solve this problem ? The most logical thing would be to set up a game, with many dimensional levels where you can do different things. Once you choose to play this game you forget how to be God, and you must learn and remember everything throughout these levels. Each level becomes more of a challenge, with makes it even more fun. Hmmm...This sounds so much like a video game, I wonder who invented video games and where they got this idea. Ohh wait, that was God too !

Best regards, all comments appreciated in advance !

I think they may play a little part in your mood through out the day, but only if you let it.
If you stay contemplating the meaning of that dream and stressing about it, then yes it probably will cause you to have a groggy day.
But say you accept it and for the rest of the day maybe try doing something to counter-act what was happening in the dream (i.e. something that'll make you both happy like dinner and a movie) with your other half to brighten both of your days then you'll most likely have a cheerful day.

because when I think about it I see keys on a keyboard.

Exactly what I thought at first. I was like, ughh.... wtf ? 
Don't be embarrassed, we gotta start somehwere.

To me the point in remembering past lives is to deal with any karma from thoes lives and let go of repressed stuff .  desert rat 

Yaa, I agree. But it's always good to learn more about yourself and who you are/were. Since technically you still are all those "past" lives.

thanks.

Congrats!

Thanks !

From my own perspective, I'd say that the truth is that you do not need anything for meditation and spiritual progress.  You already have everything you need.
You need no technique... no method... no ritual...

I'm a firm believer of the following statement: "Be the change you wish to see in the world"

Very true, I like that statement !

[Note]

Yes, I know there's been many threads started on meditation and saying that meditation isn't needed. I believe that this is a false truth that's not being explained on a deep enough level of understanding.

Note If your beginning this path and see your thoughts starting to manifest don't take this as a sign your progressing quicker then normal, this is only your HS showing you that your on the right path and trying to help strengthen your belief. This does not mean to make any dramatic changes to your life. Remember all things are made possible out of the strength of your belief.

Let's say your just beginning your spiritual journey and have just got into meditation and AP/OBE, and trying to find out who you (we) really are. I'd say probably 99% of us, give or take, dive right into changing our life style thinking it's something that needs to be done to progress. This is normal, we're human beings and we tend to like to speed up the process of things due to our patience and us wanting to reap the rewards in a shorter period of time. With the help of many personal/spiritual growth books that tell us that we should change our life style and begin meditating for 15+ minutes a day to see any real change. This is the BIGGEST false truth these books have put out, not out of negativity or trying to mislead us, but out of the authors spiritual progress being on a much higher level. They are explaining things on a higher level and we don't realize this at the time so we take everything word for word (or close to it), this to is natural for us humans so don't let this scare you. So with this said let me explain.

Just starting your spiritual journey doesn't call for any big, dramatic, lifestyle changes right away. Change occurs over time and you must have patience to really see the change. We must only set aside a short amount of time to quiet the mind and connect with our HS and enjoy the peace from within, 5 or 10 minutes is all that's needed. If we go about making these BIG instant changes (15+ min a day of meditating and whatever else people do thinking it will help them progress faster) to our lives, even if it's out of the greater good for all things, it will have a far more detrimental effect on us in the long run. We were created for the purpose of evolving by a different standard, free will. We need to enjoy our lives the way we were before we learned about the spiritual path, and need only to set a small amount of time aside to enjoy the peace that comes through silence. Once we realize this, this is when the real changes will begin to occur and you'll notice these starting from within yourself. You'll begin to actually feel like meditating longer, your taste budds will begin to change and the food you find appealing will change, etc.

Note When I say don't change your lifestyle dramatically I mean don't take out a large amount of time from your day to meditate or don't stop doing something you enjoyed because you think it will stunt your personal/spiritual growth. This doesn't mean don't read personal growth books or don't study spiritual leaders or whatever you begin doing, because I'm sure you feel like doing these things when you begin, it's the start of our spiritual journey and this is what shows our HS that we are committed to making a change and are trying to better ourselves and the universe. Just making this clear.

If we go about changing our life style dramatically on our own and don't actually feel like doing these things we begin to do and change, it will only increase stress and tension within ourselves. Creating the path of most resistance and making changes occur far slower then they normally would if we only slightly changed our life style. And sooner or later things may get a lot more stressful and may even cause you to lose hope with yourself and the higher power within us all. And as we all know, stress is the biggest killer.

So lets remember, one of the most important things to progressing personally and spiritually is to enjoy your life and do what you feel like doing. If you live by this, things within you will begin to change naturally on their own, not out of us forcing ourselves to change.

As for meditation helping to increase OBEs, I believe this to is false. We OBE every night in our dreams, we just aren't consciously aware of this. We know how to OBE, we have just forgotten how to stay conscious and aware during these OBEs and remember them when we return to our bodies, just as we know everything the universe has to offer but have only forgotten much of it. My tip to everyone beginning their spiritual path (and just starting to get interested in remembering how to induce and remain conscious during OBEs) begin using affirmations. They work a lot better (as long as you believe) to remember and induce OBEs.

Note If you remember your dreams, you can easily remember your OBEs. If you have many lucid dreams, you can easily induce a lucid OBE. If you don't have many, or no, lucid dreams don't let this strike fear within you, you can easily condition yourself to have lucid OBEs/dreams with the help of affirmations. Affirmations, when continued to be said within the mind for a period of time (2 weeks or so) and with a lot of emotion behind it will create a neuron in your brain with this thought so when said this neuron will fire and easily manifest your thought. This is how some thoughts are manifested easily and others you must work at.

This is all coming out of my own experience, trying to force change upon myself. Even from the beginning when I read that force is not the way to go and not to change my lifestyle, that it will change on its own. I still tried anyways to progress faster and it has only proven to me everything I have explained here. But I am thankful things have happened this way for me, for now I'm here to help others that might come across this same problem so I'm not complaining. In no way is this thread made to make you believe meditation is not needed or strike fear into you in any way. Nor is it made for all of you to believe, just to make you think and ponder on this idea. I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts on this so don't be scared to post your thoughts, all comments and opinions are welcomed.

Those shapes and geometric forms are the 6 platonic solids.
And you are able to create a flower of life on paper which holds within it all 6 of these 3D solids.

This is normal to feel things like this, don't be afraid and continue your work.
Just think of it as a sign post letting you know your getting into a deeper state of mind.

[highly]

Thank you, highly appreciated.
I'm only on page 21 and already I can see the similarity to whats being said within my life.

Thanks to both of you, I'll be sure to start my reading :p

[Anything pertaining to the non physical and our evolution]

The title says it all.
I love to read about anything that pertains to the non physical or our growth.

So I'm asking all of you, in your opinions, what are the best books or eBooks (preferably eBooks or any book that I could get from online and download to the computer) .

Here's a list of categories I'm looking for, but not limited to.

• Spiritual/Personal Growth
• Out of Body Experience
• Anything pertaining to OUR history

Anything pertaining to the non physical and our evolution

Also if you guys know any good movies/videos that have to do with the above categories, post those here too.
Please not any hour long videos of someone talking, those just bore me 

Thanks !

Then something else happens like in a projection and I'm scared all over again.

Hmm, that's odd. Keep us updated.

But in no way are you crazy, at least I don't have a single doubt you aren't.
I've had many crazy experiences myself and they've all made me question whether I was going crazy but I've always ended up finding myself.
I believe you'll do the same too 

Best of luck to you my friend.

Your very intuitive and very connected with your HS, at least this is what your saying. Yet you have a lot of fear, at least this is how you come off. You feel that all these things that happen to you are weird, when in fact they should make you feel happy and excited (at least this is how I feel when things happen) that you know your being guided by a higher power and that there even IS a higher power.

We are all part of this experiment. There's nothing bad about it, it's just a new way to manifest life through different means. The duality consciousness. If there was no duality we would never have became aware of ourselves. But the purpose of this duality is to learn to BALANCE it and transcend past thinking something is good or bad. Everything that happens to you is set in motion by you, or your HS, because you have something to learn. If it keeps occurring then you obviously aren't getting the deeper message that the situation holds. Don't reject or fear something that's come to you in the physical, it's like rejecting your ego and that only causes more fear as your taking the path of MOST resistance.

I would recommend reading "The Flower of Life:Volume I & II"
These should help you overcome your fear. In Volume II it talks about the duality consciousness.
I read both of these word for word and since day 1 when I began reading my fears subsided (if you look up some of my posts you will see the fear I speak of) and I can honestly say I'm enjoying life now, even when things that make me a little unhappy or aren't what I expected, occur. I now know that this is just part of nature, your not always going to be happy and satisfied. Sometimes you might be sad and unhappy but it's only for a brief moment. Once you learn this you'll begin to look at life in a whole different point of view, everything is worth it's while and things start to become fun ("bad" and "good" situations).

I have uploaded these pdfs for you. I HIGHLY recommend them, to anyone.

Yaa, very true. The experience does seem kinda irregular. But I don't think there's StrangeDream has given enough information for us to say they might need professional help. 

StrangeDreams does this experience (the mist, faces, and shadow figures) remind you of anything/anyone when they appear or do they bring up any kind of memories ? Any past events that might be associated with it ? When you ask these shadow figures questions do any thoughts come immediately after ?

Told it over and over again I'm not afraid of you anymore.

Telling it your not afraid is actually telling yourself you are afraid deep down. I find that often when I re-assure myself of things when a thought arises its coming from fear trying to negate the effect of that thought. If you weren't afraid no words would need to be spoken or thought because your love (instead of fear) would radiate out towards whatever it is this is and it would know. But instead your showing your fear to it by trying to re-assuring yourself so in turn this thing keeps 'reappearing' to you as something real. The affirmation such as "It's okay" (or some kind of variation) tends to work best for me in overcoming my fears. Short and simple, yet very effective if you believe.

So I tried what you told me to do and I concentrated as hard as I could to imagine different things (a beautiful fairy, a princess, etc.) but nothing happened.

Also, I would try to concentrate on something that you have seen/experienced for yourself. It might work a little better then a fairy or princess, something they've conditioned us to believe was make believe.

But a green aura means healing, change, growth and balance, so there is nothing to fear.

This to me sounds like your not so much in touch with your inner child and are often doing things you think you need to survive.
This may just be your lower self (Mother Earth) trying to give you a little more enjoyment but your taking it as something bad. And for what, it's not like this mist or shadow figures are harming you in any way ?

I would say, try doing things you enjoy and do them w/o having any negative thoughts of the possibilities that could be the results from doing it, maybe be more aware of your thoughts and remember that all things come from the same place. So in other words, its all love from God and there for a reason. For us to enjoy it in moderation, as a lot of us tend to start not liking the things we ALWAYS do.

Fruits and harvestables is what the human needs as it can contain the necessary nutrients needed for growth. If a fruit is not harvested, it rots away and dies and might not have fulfilled its reason for being there lol. Fruits inherently carry good nutrients and good vibes which can enrich your physical and energy body. But meat on the other hand is quite a different story, as I have noticed, you can inherit or eat the energy associated with the dead animal. Animals don't want to die when they are needed for food. They too want to survive, I have never seen an animal that has laid down and said, "use my meat as your food" they run and even cry when that are about to be killed for food. In essence, you can inherit the fear, diseases, and a whole lot of negative feelings when you depend on meat for food. And fruits and harvestables in essence don't have any bad vibe except when they are artificially ripened I guess.

I would agree with ZiggyMike here.
But I'd also add that our bodies (us), if you believe, are smart enough to absorb just the nutrients that our body needs to function properly and it will process out all of the waste products that aren't needed. In other words our bodies are beginning to adapt and change so they have the ability to process these foods we might consider unhealthy. As long as you keep it to a minimum and stay healthy with your fruits, vegetables, and water, you will be fine.

It's just as how bacteria can change and adapt to become immune to the vaccines we create, our bodies can change and adapt to the food we consume. Remember, "All things are good in moderation."

Sounds to me like this could just be a fear of death in the physical, even if you don't realize it.

I sometimes think my friend is going to die (idk why) and the other night I had a dream where he sat down to tie his shoe inside a party where the host ended up killing someone (at least this is what everyone in the dream was yelling) and I followed everyone as they ran outside. so in my mind (after I woke up) I began to think, "Ohh this must be a sign he's going to die because he sat down right in the party where the murderer is". But I don't truly believe that, I think its just my imagination playing with me and trying to have a little bit of fun.

There's nothing to fear, everything will be okay no matter what. Death isn't bad or good, it's just part of our evolution.
