Hi guys im hoping to get some opinions about some strange events last night, its like this....
Yesterday I decided because of all my stress I would give mediation a try, my friend came over and bought a Dvd with her called Spiritual Reality.
After about 10 mins I got very bored especially when he was explaining astal projections....'What a load of tarp' I thought.
Although Im very opened minded and think there is always a reason for everything...I dont believe in spirits or anything that I cannot see myself.
Anyways I did watch all the DVD and thought tomorrow I will try this out for 30mins see if it relaxes me.
I always have problems sleeping so when I lay in bed I thought if I try the meditation method and not think of anything I will soon be asleep. I dont remember lying awake for ages so I must have gone pretty quick, although I kind of expected it because I was sooo tired.
Anyways as soon as I woke? up I wrote my experience down so im just going to copy exactly what I wrote and not try to correct it because when I wrote it, it was fresh and now it feels like it didnt happen. Below is exactly what I wrote...
VERY Vivid/Clear dream In a small plane very relaxed
Chips cooking in a pan walked past them 3 times on way to toilet in a very short time
Person cooking missing so I enter a room to report a possible problem (The plane is not being flown and im as calm as a daisy)
Then i just know its going to crash so I think 'o cr*p* (still unfazed by the whole thing and still very relaxed) Slowly curl into a ball then theres this AMAZING Bright light...'dont loook @ the light else you are dead' I have no eyes and im already in this light...no as a body I feel (no I dont feel !!! ) I just know I have no body...theres a sense of amazing warmth....i dont FEEL warm.
There is a voice but its not a voice as we know it seems to call 'come into the light' and some kind of noise never heard this noise before
Then I awake
Strangest thing about this dream i that I am a dreamer I have some crazy dreams, and I have got to the edge of dying before in a dream but never actually died because I always awake scared witless before I die
I was not scared or frightened when I awoke, in fact it didnt feel like I had been to sleep I was WIDE Awake
I also had a very loud ringing in my ears and a pain in the left side of my arm/shoulder/chest
Surely this was my mind playing tricks on me after I watched this DVD??? But then again its made me feel like there is something else that im not aware of. Soo confused
Thing is I was so relaxed in this dream its like I was there but not scared or didnt feel anything.
Was this just a dream, has anyone felt anything like it?
Hey man,
First off I'd like to say I'm a lot like you in regards to the more skeptical disposition with the emphasis being on the empirical evidence of things. That being said, when I first found out about astral matters I had this very strong sense that it was both true, and a part of me already knew about it. I hope you continue to scrutinize everything because as long as you're open to these things you will only receive more verification. Anyway, back to your dream. I can't say I'm sure why this happened but I'd like for you to make note of something that may have caused it. If you were doing any sort of meditation or even thinking about it, it could have activated something in your subconscious. If you considered the dream very lucid, that makes sense. A lot of people consider dreams OBE's; I mean technically, they are. Any form of your consciousness inhabiting a non-physical body IS an OBE. So, by thinking about these things, especially maybe for the first time, it's likely you greatly increased your odds of having your waking consciousness inhabit your "second body".
Something else to note, perhaps unrelated... The night of my first projection, I had a dream in which I died. I'm pretty certain I haven't "died" in a dream, at least not that I can remember. This might have some effect or act as a catalyst for these types of experiences?
I hope you find what you're looking for here, and there's a lot of people here to help you do just that. If you're at all curious about these things, pursue them!
Best of luck
