Dream and Projection Journals / Re: shineling’s APs

Last post by Tak - April 20, 2024, 14:57:07

Shineling, I really enjoyed reading your entire journal, I was really amazed by the quality of your experiences! And with the technique that has taken many years to perfect and control, you have done a great job! Each one of them is fantastic and as always, learning a lot from all the tips shared with you. I really like reading other people's experiences. When one practices alone for so many years, there comes a time when one wonders, what are others experiencing? How many things will there be in common and how many will be different? Something I see we all share is that we detach from our body and do not see the etheric plane immediately for the most part, but rather fluctuations and the path to a new adventure. For years when I didn't talk to anyone about this, I thought I was doing something wrong, but that's not the case.

I have really enjoyed each of your stories! And your dreams are also wonderful, you have a very nice way of writing, and I will soon buy your book on Kindle Guardians of the Separate Reality. One of the things I like most about your experiences is that you have been able to have long APs developing the same story. In my case, many years ago it was also like that, but now there are many shorter scenes, I usually have up to five different dreams in one night, and in my LD and APs it is also like that. It is being difficult to maintain a long thread, but many shorter ones, I know with practice it will be possible again.

Thanks for sharing! ★

Feel free to post your pictures! 

Xanth did a phenomenal job over many years keeping the public side of the forums running notwithstanding many issues, not the least of which were spam/bot accounts which would otherwise have overwhelmed the forums.

I am certain now that these forums are hosted on a great hosting service, one which I also use for my own website, excellent server infrastructure running the very latest backend software, and the latest forum software, together with Xanth's excellent technical expertise, it will all run much more smoothly.

Thank you for the kind words Adrian.  It means a lot.    <3

Just a quick one.

In the realm of dreams, where reality dances with the whims of imagination, I found myself dwarfed by colossal boots that seemed to reach the heavens. As I craned my neck to behold the source of this monumental presence, my eyes beheld a figure of titanic proportions, garbed in the resplendent attire of a hero.

"Hello, little one," the behemoth rumbled, his voice resonating like thunder. Bewildered, I dared to question the very essence of his colossal stature. "How did you become so immense?" I inquired, my voice a mere whisper against the backdrop of his grandeur.

"I have ever been this vast," he intoned, his words carrying the weight of aeons.

Yet, amidst the surreal exchange, a daring curiosity seized my tongue, for in the presence of such enormity, even the most audacious queries found voice. "Do you still have sex?" I dared to ask, braving the boundaries of propriety.

With a solemnity befitting his celestial stature, the colossal figure responded, "No longer do I tread the path of mortal desires."

With a tremor of trepidation coursing through my veins, I said, "Well don't hurt me."

To my relief, a gentle reassurance emanated from the towering entity. "Never," he murmured, his touch as delicate as the breeze that stirs the leaves, as he tenderly lifted me into his grasp.

And then, with a gesture both graceful and sublime, he propelled me skyward, through the billowing veils of ethereal mist, where dreams and reality intertwine in a symphony of wonder and awe.

And a big thank you very much to you, sir. 

I've got a cron job running every single night to backup the database, so we'll hopefully never have a big loss of data ever again.

Although, that loss was probably one of the only times we ever lost anything.  That's a job well done, if I ever seen it.

Yes, although I had Linux cron jobs setup to frequently backup the database, I was away for a while during which time a major database corruption occurred in the error logging table which had a 4Gb limit. I fixed the table and truncated the error log to get everything back online. I also then added a cron job to truncate that table every day to ensure it would not happen again, which it hasn't. Unfortunately however the existing backup schedules did not extend to the period I was away, so all I could do was restore the most recent backup. I then extended the scope of the auto-backups.

Well although I created the forums and kept it running including over several major platform, server and Linux migrations and generally kept things running behind the scenes for over 20 years, despite ever increasing server and software incompatibilities which could not be resolved with the data centre it was hosted with, I recently handed over the reigns to Xanth who did, and is doing an exceptional job in migrating, upgrading and managing the forums for which I am grateful.

You did an amazing thing here Adrian....it literally saved my life, and created life long friends. Life is strange though. As you may or may not remember I had Astral experiences and Lucid dreams since I was a child of about 3 ...I lived with that all my life . I only found out it was not normal in 8th grade. The teacher asked about what we all dream. When the turn came to me I was very confused and said that I did not understand as I dream what I decide I will dream If I want to go to circus I go to circus...I was so confused, and then everyone started laughing. I learned the hard way ...thousands of dreams...and it was not till 2003 I found out I was not a freak...thankyou from my heart. I mostly posted about teaching people to control their dreams and make it stop...and there was that Channeling God thing...but now I am actually having some experiences that are rather stunning....so I am back ad look forward to posting. Thanks again for all your labor...it has been truly appreciated by many more than I think you realise
