Projecting from within a dream...

[Aerotus]

Hello friends! I aim to use this excellent board as a kind of diary for my astral experiences where I can get guidance from more knowledgeable posters here or for people to comment to give me tips or advice. I will log my experiences in the appropriate sections of the boards.

26/7/05

It was around 4-5am in the morning. The dream I was in before was a long one. It was essentially about my dad redecorating the house. He redid my room and I was really ticked off as he had converted my whole side wall into a big glass window where people could look in. I felt this was a complete violation of my privacy and I was furious! My room was also full of hundreds of small statue figures and hundreds of other different small items. There was barely any space in my room to even walk.  I was so upset I trashed the room and told him off. After he left, I went to sleep (in my dream!).

From here onwards, there came a point where I felt my mind awaken and I was in that sleeping state where I can feel those energy sensations which are tempting me to project. At this point, my mind was fully conscious and body asleep. I concentrated for a few minutes manipulating my energy trying to raise it. Maybe because I read this recently, but I concentrated on the mantra "ommmm...." in my mind whilst focusing on my third eye. I felt all these new sensations in my head, very weird ones which I can't quite remember. Then I was rising up and then out, there was definite separation this time in the real-time! However, I must have jumped straight to the astral planes or back into a dream. Right after separation, I could not see anything. Slowly but surely, a VERY vividly clear blue financial interactive data screen appeared, this was all I could see. I could see all this financial data from stock market and a clear female voice telling me instructions. It was like a futuristic interface like a game where there were buttons to talk to clients and set up meetings etc. It was like a future investment bank role. (I have a suspicion this must have been a lucid dream by now). I was concentrating trying to make sense of this when I felt the presence of an entity in the room.

It was distracting me as though someone had opened my room door and come in. And that I was on the brink of losing my focus of the projection. I turned towards to entity a little ticked off and it started harassing me in an uncomfortably kind of energy scaring way. Its appearance was that of different changing faces, of ugly men. I punched and kicked it in a distressed manner. I was feeling extremely emotional and vulnerable at this stage.

Then I thought, this could actually be my dad. I was thinking quite clearly (in one way or another) and questioned the entity if it was my dad. He replied, yes I am. Then the illusion stopped and I could see my dad in place of the horrible entity. I "effectively" woke up in my dream at this point. I was really angry with my dad for interrupting my projection, but I told him "I FINALLY projected out of my body!", "Don't ever come into my room when I'm projecting! Its dangerous!" It was very emotional. I told him that things get distorted in a projection. He said how did you know it was me? And I explained because I was thinking logically during the experience to remember that things get distorted. But I was happy too that he woke me up and that I could still remember the experience as it was a short one (Most beginners won't remember long ones). Then I leapt to my computer to jot it down. After writing for a while, I actually woke up properly!! And then I jotted down my experience (for seemingly the 2nd time). Dreams within dreams and false awakenings are a sure sign of 3rd eye activity.

Its 5:20am. I definitely knew something amazing had happened and I lay there for 2 minutes gathering my thoughts downloading the info into my brain working in backwards chronological order. I still feel quite cold with strong feelings of after-effects of a projection. I feel tingling energy all over and quite chilled to the bone. I am breathing quickly and my heart rate is fairly rapid.

Although this experience was quite nightmarish and emotional/stressful, it will not deter me from continuing...
