I have an experience that I would like to share, and a few questions.  Lately, since it's summer, I've been waking up at around ten Am, then walking to my couch.  I lie down with the intention of staying awake, but I soon fall asleep.  Pretty much whenever I do this, I have an ld, then an OBE, it's great.  So today I was tired in the afternoon(about 3:00) so I decided to take a nap.  Soon my dream became lucid.  Once I realized this I thought "hey, I'll have an Obe."  Then I felt this sadness.  My grandmother recently passed away, and I got really sad that she wouldn't  be coming over for dinner on Sunday's anymore(it was a tradition), no sooner had I thought this then I felt the world began to spin, and I exited my body.  It was really weird, because all I had to do was visualize her face and I began to leave my body.  I thought "wow, she is closer to me then I realize."  So soon I am sitting down in a chair with her, andI look in the background, and I see this cabana type place, and I felt like it was heaven, or whatever you want to call it.  As cleche as it sounds, it was beautiful and I had a strong desire to go there.  So I see my grandmother, and she looks her best, and I know that I have this have this stupid grin on my face.  I ask her(come to think of it, this may have been telepathic) if she has a message for her family.  She says(or thinks), "tell everyone that I love them"  Then boom, it's over.  It was great.  Here are my questions.  How can I differentiate between and obe and an ld?  I had astral sight, and at one point I looked at my hands and they melted into a gold light.  So can I say with confidence that this was an obe and not just a powerful dream.  Oh, and can someone please describe exactly what astral sight is? I'd describe it as seeing through closed eyelids, because I am usually aware of my physical eyes being closed.  Also, when I begin to think about my astal sight, the world becomes more blurry and unclear.  Sorry for the length.

Have you guys ever read the book "Nothing in this book is true, but it's exactly how things are"?  If not, I recomend it.  If you have, I was wondering if you could share your experiences with changing dimensions.

First, I'm new to this board, and many metaphysical experiences in general, so I will surely be asking a lot of questions.  Please don't get annoyed.  After reading these posts, a concern has arisen involving negs.  What exactly is a neg?  Is it just a negative entity.  Secondly, what can one do to avoid problems with negs?  This talk of possession has made me a little timid about OBEs.

I have been trying astral projection for awhile now, and I have a few questions.  I have projected before, but never on purpose.  It is usually the night after I have unsuccsesfully tried to do so.  I often feel my chakra awakening and the intense vibrations associated with it, but I can't progerss past that point.  So here are my questions.  First, what methods did you use when you first began projecting that gave you success?  Please describe those.  Secondly, when I take a break(more than a week), or I try a new method, I usually get closer to an OBE than if I try to get one every night.  Why is this?  Oh yeah, I'm new as well, so hellos everyone.

The book basically ties aliens, the pyramids, the Barmuda Triangle, crop circles and other unexplained phenomena into one big theory.  It is an amzing book(altough most will find it unbelievable) and if nothing else is an interesting read.  It teaches an acient breathing technique involving visualization of prana, and it teaches you how to change dimensions.  Basically it says that when we dies we go to the 5th overtone of the next dimension.  It's hard to explain, but I'll try.  It uses breathing techniques and visualtion of geometric figures to change dimensions.  If done properly one can reach the next dimension and develop "Christ Conciousness" where all thought instantly manifests itself.  I suggest you go purchase it and attempt top change dimensions, then get back to me.  Unfortunately, I let a friend borrow it and never got it back, so I haven't been able to reach Christ Conciousness.  A good friend of mine has however.  Just like most spiritual experiences, dimensional change recquires an open mind and lots of practice.  Basically its the kind of book that you have to read numerous times before it even starts to make sense.  Please tell me what you think of this idea.

The last time I projected was not in real time, because my house was slightly different than it usually is.  I projected from a lucid dream.  I also know that I have projected in real time as well.  My projections are fuzzy, and as the day goes on I lose most signifigant details.  My experiences quickly fade from my memory.

Dreams of desires, can you please tell me what your Akashic Records are?  Thanks.
