Are only my legs ready for the journey?

[Romee]

Hi, everyone,

I found this forum on google and wonder if you can help me with a little problem/question that seems to stay with me.

I have had a lot of lucid dreams already (regularly) which I have squandered on sex and telekinetic games. But not all of them. In some I was trying to let my higher self (terminology is not that important to me, I think many of you will know what i mean by that) guide me "upstairs". I would really like to get to "the next level" as I feel that my morality and spirituality are trying to take some steps forward.

I had dreams which induced unimaginable joy, starting from a beautiful landscape, joyful laughter or a loving embrace of some sort of personification of love/god/whatever term pleases you. Then the (visual) scene seemed to vanish into "just" the feeling of joy. But then it stops and I think it's because I don't feel worthy or because I'm afraid of not being worth or maybe because just afraid of what might be waiting for me. I know that I should get rid of that fear and I think I can overcome it, that's rather a psychological issue I have to settle myself. But here's my question: Something really astonished me. It happens from time to time, when I become aware of being lucid or awake in the dream state, that I say "(God,) enlighten me!" and then I'm referred back to my body. But now only my legs are floating somewhat higher then the rest of my body, my chest and my head are still "grounded". How can this be? How can I/god/whatever be so selective about body parts, allowing some to let go and others not? Why don't I get lifted up ?

If anyone could answer this, they would help me a lot.

Thank you.

You've partially separated from your body. Try whatever feels right to get the rest of you out.

Common things to try are rolling out of bed, imagining a magnet sucking you up to the ceiling, imagining a rope above you and trying to pull yourself out(might not work since your hands arent free), grabbing the edge of the bed and dragging your self out, willing yourself out, etc.

You might try asking for help separating. Dont be freaked out if something starts pulling at you if you ask for help.

Look for 'exit techniques' for more ideas.

Thanks for your reply.

I'm not quite sure if we're talking about the same thing. I've already had a lot of lucid dreams, I have rolled and walked/flyed out of my bed many times, going around the neighbourhood or some unknown places...

But I feel that there's another layer of consciousness beyond just the lucid dream or OBE (if that is the same?) which is yet denied to me, the unio mystica, the union with god, if you wish...

I feel you OP.  It's a level of clarity that I think is rarely achieved by your garden variety projector.  A level of consciousness that is difficult to explain or understand in normal waking reality.

The leg thing is odd.  The initial assumption is that you're not prepared to project, but you're not talking about a normal exit problem.  I have had my legs be the only part of me that raised out, but that is just energy sensation while practicing, there is no separation happening (energy sensations can make you feel like you're expanding).  I really can't speak to what you're describing.

Maybe I'm overstressing the leg thing. Anyhow, it is great to find that there are more and more people who can relate and make these experiences. Thanks for your post.
