Getting distracted

[Astralsuzy]

Hi all, When I am out of my body I get distracted as there are people around.  How do I travel somewhere when there are people around.  Do I pretend the people are not there so I will not get distracted.  It is preventing me from going to places where I want to go to.  I did not get myself aware as I got distracted.  Any Ideas. 
This morning when I ap it sounded like a helicopter was close to me.  I felt myself moving into the helicopter and a man was flying it.  It was weird.  I was just letting you know how strange it was.

If they are there maybe you should interact with them and tell them what you wish to do.

If you have distinct intent to be somewhere very specific, a few characters hanging around shouldn't distract you... unless they are more important than you think... or your intent isn't strong enough. Just a thought.

True, these people and scenes may have a message for you. Try to stay there, you may see it unfolds into some kind of quest or adventure.

I notice almost all of my destinations have something to teach me or a new adventure to experience, challenge to be met.

Oh yes, the distractions are a pain at times. There's always something trying to disconnect you from your intended desire.
Lots of self control required.

Thank you all for your replies.  It is great getting ideas from other people.  I realise I cannot let anyone distract me.  If I do then I will never reach my goals.  If there are people around I will have to get myself aware.  I cannot talk to anyone until I get myself aware.  That is the first thing to do, otherwise I have a higher chance of dream things happening.   I cannot let it stop me.  When I get my awareness then I will go where I want to go to or I could interact with people. That sounds interesting what you said Lionheart and Bedeekin.  That is something to think about.

Very true. I have turned many dreams Lucid this way. For example.... If I wanted to meet a certain person in my dreams I would just ask random people where "so-and-so" is. They will usually point in a direction and I will go there. Its kind of like an Easter egg hunt, but eventually I find the person and get to interact with them.
Sometimes though, the people direc to places that are a bit off putting or frightening, but if you tough it out its worth it.

So yeah! Tell them where you wanna go and see what happens.

[Astralsuzy]

Thanks for that Amorda.  I will do that and see what happens.

I agree with Lionheart. You should not ignore these people, as they probably there for a reason. Maybe even just a brief conversation with them would let you understand there reason for being there thus moving you on to other thing. We don't always get to go exactly where we want to go. Our subconscious sometimes has other plans for us without us realizing.

I suppose you are right.  If I try to ignore them that does not seem to work.  Someone follows me and I am not able to get rid of them.  Next time I will talk to them.

Why else do you think they are there?

[Astralsuzy]

Hi Lionheart, in the physical we see people at the shops, sports grounds, on the street etc.  Mostly people do not talk to each other unless they know someone.  I assume that is the same in the spiritual world.  I suppose they are there doing things.  I never really thought about it.  I am not sure what things.

[Astralsuzy]

Thanks again everyone.  Today I was thinking about it.  It was at the back of my mind.  You are right.  There probably is a reason why I should talk to people.  I was taken to a place and dropped off there at that location.  There could a message for me or something to know about.  Next time I will investigate.
