What to look forward to.

[Jeff_Mash]

There are many things you could look foreward to.  Here were some of mine:

1) The realization that out of body experiences were real, and that we can exist beyond the bounds of our physical bodies.  For example, some people beleive that when they die, they go somewhere else....somewhere pleasant.  Well, now you can taste a little slice of it!

2) The ability to fly.  Imagine looking at a 4 story house and saying, "You know what?  I'm just going to jump to the top of the roof."  And then BAM!  You're amazed as you do that very thing!  You feel everything....you feel the motion, you feel the excitement in the pit of your stomach....it's as if you're really there in the physical doing these impossible things!  

3) You can meet up with astral entities, visit foreign places, make contact with deceased loved ones.

Those are just some of my "things to do" when projecting.

I suppose, a little along the same lines, I was wondering how can you tell you *did* have a projection and not just a very clear, very strange dream? (Or are all such dreams actually projections?)

Good question.  First of all, when you dream, you remember the dream AFTER the fact.  In other words, you wake up, and immedietely you recall all that happened while you were asleep.

With an OBE, you remember the events AS THEY HAPPEN.  You are completely aware, just as you are right now.  Your mind isn't hazy like it is in a dream.  You don't find yourself doing strange things like you do in a dream.  In an OBE, you have FULL CONTROL of all your thoughts and actions.

This is a good list of some of the benefits:

I know this may seem kind of dumb, but what is there for me to look forward to when I finally do Astral Project, I mean, I am trying as hard as I can to get there, but in all reality, is it really worth it. Tell me, please, what can I look forward to?

Thanks.
