Hello hypnotist, thank you for the input. I understand it now. I was thinking dreams happened during Delta, but I see they happen during the REM phase, when the brainwaves are similar to the waking state, therefore it is also called paradoxical sleep.

Our sleep is divided into 2 phases: synchronized sleep or non-REM and desyncrhonized sleep or REM. These phases are consecutive, and together they form the sleep cycle.

When we lay down to sleep we first go through the non-REM phase, our brainwaves slow down from beta to alfa, then theta and delta. After this the brainwaves speed up a bit and then comes the REM phase, when we dream. "REM sleep is a sleep in which EEG waves resemble those occurring when we are awake. But the muscles weaken as if being paralyzed, except the muscles that cause the eye movement. Therefore, some people define this kind of sleep as 'a state in which an active brain functions in a paralyzed body'."

This cycle repeats itself 4 to 5 times along the night. "The whole process will recur interchangebly, with shorter NREM sleep and longer REM sleep until he wakes up."

It's hard to explain but maybe you are leaving the body too soon, perhaps before your astral body is fully formed.

Sometimes when I spend little time in paralysis and qickly apply an exit procedure I may have bad sight, dumbness, deafness, and missing parts of my body. Once I've left in a hurry I found I can't fix it, the experience tends to be messed up and short. I notice the same doesn't happen when I spend enough time just to deepen the trance.

Maybe it is telling you that the cars are the devil's work.

Just for your convenience I would suggest you first put yourself to float up in the air, and then go through the window or down the cliff.

No, I didn't know you had a webpage, I saw it in my dream but it wasn't the right answer anyways lol

Interesting question, one time I turned on the tv and the videogame to play Street Fighter II on snes. I saw a new fighter that was an amphibian, sorta looked like a frog and his name was Aqua32-sho-in. I didn't get to play cause the screen got locked on that presentation screen just before the fight

It wasn't hard after the hint []

Hehe banjo?

Today I had a projection from a dream, I appeared in my room and looked for the piece of paper and again found alot of things written on it, most of the text I couldn't decypher. I requested the name of the stringed instrument that you play, and I only remember reading: tabasson, bongo.

Maybe I saw dulcimer somewhere lol. I'll choose bass, maybe one of those large classical basses.

I've experienced the wind and found it to be one of the best ways to exit the body, in a sense that it feels very natural and subtle, and the aftermath is usually intense.

Yesterday I was reading an e-book on Spiritual Travel and found a tip for when the head is glued to the body: Imagine your head inflating like a balloon, when it gets sufficiently large it will float out.

"I usually end up twisting my "astral body" like you would tear a branch off of a tree... It works but, could this be harmfull?"

It feels like you're tearing up the brain doesn't it? Don't know if it can be harmful but it sure feels like it might be, it's almost painful.

Cool, I've had a few dreams these days but was too involved to remember the task. I'll write my request on a piece of paper again and read it when I have the chance, now looking for the instrument that you play.

I'm curious to know what will happen next time you fly into the sky.

A curse for some, a blessing for others... the darkness between dreams is the so called trance state. There are many levels of trance, daydreaming for instance is light trance, the deeper levels of trance are experienced while resting. Like thechunk05 said it, it is also known as sleep paralysis. The astral projection happens from the medium to deep trance, by applying some technique for separation.

I've recently had an experience similar to yours during the trance, I wanted to have an obe so I created a sensation of movement. I tumbled upside down (in my imaginary body) but then I noticed I wasn't quite out yet. In the darkness of my closed eyes I saw my arms shinning, the right arm bright as gold, and the left white as snow. I played around with it for awhile moving my arms, then I tried to imagine I was holding a cup of glass but it didn't work, then I awoke.

You can play around with your imagination, create sounds, music, images, colours, it's  pretty cool, nice to get alot of inspiration cause your mind is not bounded while you're there.

I don't think it was luck, I think your subconscious mind scanned for an answer and successfully presented it to you without much interference.

I can't help letting my conscious mind interfere with the process, for instance, now that you tell me you play a stringed instrument I start thinking to myself all stringed instruments that I know ... these thoughts will probably play some role in the dream when I request the answer.
I will look for it anyway.

I don't know, I'll think of something of mine that is unique and report back when I have it.

The face of the dream character changing all the time was strange indeed. I noticed it started to change when I began to prolong the dream by telling her to hold my arm. When I prolong my dreams I feel pain on my physical stomach, and some strange things start to happen in the dream.

One time I was sitting in a room watching tv in the dream. I stood there for awhile watching the dream tv shows. When I noticed I was about to awake I stood up, placed my left hand on the top of the tv and kept on staring at the screen. I took notice of my physical body and started to feel an incredible pain on my physical stomach as I insisted on staying there. I just wanted to read some word I could bring back to my waking life, just a word, but nothing, only images. I talked to myself, asking permission to stay there just to see a word, and I would get back when I had it. It felt like I was doing something really wrong, the pain increased and increased and in the dream, to my right side, something started to form, like plasm taking shape in the air. At that point I really thought someone was coming to tell me I would be unable to return, so I just decided to let it go and come back. I felt very dizzy when I woke up.

The experiments are cool... buffer zones in the sky? I've read the post but I've never experienced such a thing. When I can't see what's above I may get stuck in the flight, as if there was a wall in the sky (used to experience that alot as a child). At times I can manage to go very high, but when I get to a certain point I can't go further, like that's my limit for that dream even though I can clearly see far above. When I astral project it seems there is no limit as to where I can go, but my flight is usually very slow to get too far.

As far as I know the dreams also happen in the astral dimension but the scenery is all made up by our subconscious, thought-forms. Maybe if we stop paying attention to the images they would dissolve and then we would see the astral proper, I've never done that though, can't tell much. Something worth trying.

Tom, today I had a dream in wich I was flying from wall to wall, and I requested your father's name to be shown to me on the wall. The letters RPZ appeared, but it was kinda hard to read as they were very blurry. I requested again 'Please, show me the right name', still the letters remained the same, guess it means something.

In Portuguese we use 'rpz' in the chat rooms as a short for 'rapaz', wich means 'dude'.

Yes, is it the first time you look for names?

You choose what we do next.

Once I was in a dream and started asking things to a dream character. I asked many questions, and while I asked I kept telling the person to hold my arm, cause I didn't want to awake before I could get the answers. While she held my arm I felt stable, but her face changed all the time, sometime woman, sometime man, I asked if there was really life after death, and she said: 'Yes, and psychoanalysis'. Then she let go of my arm and I awoke.

Wow man, you're doing some great job there Tom, Bete is my sister, she is old enough to be my mother since I'm the youngest son, I have other 2 brothers, she is the eldest amongst us.

My mother's name is Erminia, and my father was Lourival.

What I do to induce lucid dreams is self-suggestion, I lay down with the mission in mind and tell myself that tonight is the night.

One other way to induce the dream is to write down the route of the dream as you would like it to be. For example: 'In my dream I'm walking on the beach watching the waves crash into the shore. It's a nice morning, there are not so many clouds and I can feel a soft breeze. I see a couple walking ahead hand-to-hand and I decide to approach them. I greet them and ask their names, they tell me, I walk some more and then I awake.'

Write it on a pice of paper and put it on a desk in your room.

I'll try your technique next time and sure, we can go for the other experiments.

Ohhh [] better luck next time for me ahhehhe I really thought I was on the right path...

Okay we can keep on trying, when you have some time tell me more about your experiments.

Her name could also be Kristina, because the first person I heard singin that song was my friend Kristina.

Stella, Sara or Kristina, you tell me, oh yes, and Sirgeta hehe.

*Sorry for adding one more name but If you said it was Kris before me it would be a shame.

Perhaps her name is Stella, now that is appealing hehehe.

My idea for the experiments is to go for things that concern the spirit. I don't think names and numbers mean much.

For instance, you could print out a circle on your favourite colour and put the paper on a desk in your room or something. I would have to figure out what colour you chose. Or we could use a scheme of symbols, all preestablished so that I can know what symbols you have available, you cut them out and choose one for the experiment. You leave the symbol on your table and mentalize it sometimes during the day, trying to pass the message to me telepatically, then I try to receive the message in my dreams.

Other ideas involving tables: cd on table, set of preestablished words on a pice of paper, preestablished books, etc...

I could also go for your favourite colour, favourite drink, favourite season of the year, favourite band.

Oh, wait wait, maybe her name is Sarah, cause there was this song playing by Sarah Mclauchlan, in the arms of the angel. Hmm it can be..

Success! - I think hehe,

I came back with a name, not sure it is the right one though.

The name I received is SIRGETA.


This is what I've done to come to this name:

Once when I projected I asked the name of a person, a character I saw in the Astral, let's suppose it was Greta. On a piece of paper I wrote this and put it on a table: Greta, helpers, what's the name of Tom Bodenmann's girlfriend, from Switzerland. Please show me the name somewhere I can see and understand it.

Then I left some space for the answer, expecting to read it when I projected today.

I was in a dream, singing in my room and suddenly I remembered the experiment and looked for the paper. I found it and saw ALOT of names written on it. It was written something like this:

" The name is as it follows:

a) Spifieta
b) Sbriela
c) Seniela
d) ... "


And it kept showing names up to the letter 'o', I think. But the first one I saw I'm sure it was SIRGETA. I don't know if im messing up because it kinda sounds like Greta from the example lol. I had used the name Greta as an example to explain to a friend of mine what I was gonna do to find your girlfriend's name.

One thing I noticed was that all names started with an 'S' and ended with an 'A'. Maybe they all had the letter 'T'  somewhere in between.

If that's not the correct answer forgive me for taking your time, I had never heard that name before in my whole life hehe, but this was really what I saw. I know dreams don't give 'chewed' answers, but clues, and I can't find any relation between that name and anything that I know.

Forgot to ask the name when I had the chance last night, will keep trying.

I have some ideas on meaningful questions we can ask in the dreams to receive information, I'll tell you more about it after I get a name. See you!

Sure, it's alright, even better I think.

Will look for it tonight. Thank you.

I think if you close your eyes in a dream ya might wake up. It happens to me at times.

These experiments are very interesting and fun. What if we try and find out each other parent's names?
Just tell me your real name and location and I will look for info on you in my dreams. []

Mine is Leandro, from São Paulo - Brazil.

On my first experiences I also thought I was gonna die if I crossed that certain point. I felt alot of pressure inside my head as if I was some meters underwater, this particular feeling made me think my head was going to explode or something if I kept pushing further. One time I decided to see it for myself and it turned out I didn't die hehe.

You can hear music while you're in trance, any song you want, just think of it and it will start playing in your head like if you're wearing headphones. Turn up the volume using your will and when it sounds clear and loud you know you're in a good trance and can apply some technique for separation in case you want to astral project. If you don't want then just listen to the songs it's pretty fun. After sometime there you naturally start seeing things (imagery) and have floating sensations, it is all pretty normal.
