The Astral Pulse

"If I hold you I can't behold you. Sometimes love is better at a distance."
    - Duane Alan Hahn


Firstly let me start by saying that my reasons for Astral Projection are exploration and education... but there's always been a third reason.  Her.  We've been madly in love for close to 12 years, but because of the cards life deals us sometimes, we're far apart.  Even farther these days, as she's currently on vacation in South America.  That being said... these are the events that unfolded last night.


So my Astral experiences thus far have been short.  Slightly beyond my control.  And fuzzy... like a television with rabbit ears that are slightly askew.  Last night all of this changed.  I had woken once to pee, then once more to grab some water, and then come back to bed.  Up to this point my dreams were the standard surrealist fare.

Upon entering the third sleep cycle at around 3:30 am, I entered almost immediately into a very very strange dream.  So strange that I actually remember being kind of bored with it.  As that boredom tore at the edges of my dream, things became somewhat lucid.

I began dreaming that I was driving.  I have driving dreams once in a while.  I don't drive in real life, so an enormous red flag goes up when these dreams occur, because I immediately remember, "Wait, I don't drive.  Oh right... I must be dreaming."  I'm driving down this interstate highway, and off to my left I see a dirt road... and as Robert Frost once said, "The road less traveled by.... has made all the difference."  On a backwoods road I noticed that the forest was looming, and the road was ending....

And thats when I awoke Astrally... there's a tingling vibration that occurs for me when this happens.  Like I can feel my second body hovering half in and half out of me... as if waiting for me to grab the reigns.  So I did.  I rather clumsily rolled out of bed and slid along the floor.  Straight through my bedroom door.  Careened around my apartment building for awhile.  Looked in on my neighbors and my roommate, making sure that all was well and there feet weren't on fire or anything.  And then I made my way out.  Into the street.  And thats when the Astral lucidity took hold.  Not only was I aware of everything, I was also in much more control of my "body" than I usually am...

I toured around the city, (which wasn't my city btw... more of a dreamlike construct) and then it hit me.  Something that I'd been reminding myself constantly when awake.  If I ever got Astral and had control I would go and see Her.  My girl.  So I sort of thought out loud that I'd like to go and see her.

Something, or someone was listening to this... and suddenly I switched directions and was rocketing across the landscape.  Through trees, through  rocks, through houses... and partway through I thought, "This is going to take a long time."  And as if that were permission to get me there via the shortcut, the next thing happened.

The most breathtaking experience of my Astral life thus far.  I went up.  Like spring boarding off of an enormous trampoline.  Within seconds I was up amongst the stars and then slowly coming back down to earth.  And the descent was a slow feather-fall into a foreign landscape, unlike anything I'd ever seen.

Ocean everywhere.  An orange sky looking down on it.  Like a sunrise that occupies the entire sky.  And in the middle of this ocean, on a very small plot of land was a hut.

I drifted though a bunch of passing blue butterflies.  When I passed my hand through them they spread apart, as if made with paint.  One landed on my hand, as if to say hello... and then vanished as I reached the island.

I saw Her there.  And she watched me come close.  As I approached, she exclaimed, "Hey!  It's YOU!"

But I could feel that I had burned alot of energy coming so far so fast.  I knew I didn't have long.  She turned and pointed into the hut and said, "I think thats my twin."

At this point I received a Rote.  If you've ever read Robert Monroe, a Rote is a tiny package of information contained within a thought.  I knew she was out of body, and referring to her sleeping self.  But never having had any experience with OBEs she merely thought she was dreaming.

I rushed to her and said, "I haven't got much time."  And I wrapped my arms around her and hugged her.  Passed along as much love as I could in that one moment of connection.

And then I woke up.

......phew......

Now.  All of this becomes even more incredible.   A few hours later I get a collect call from Antigua (South America-ish).  And the first thing out of her mouth is...

"Was that real?"

So to verify I asked, "What was the only thing I said to you?"

"You said you didn't have much time."

My reply, "And you told me you thought the sleeping girl was your twin."

Verified.  Confirmed.  And most wonderful.  

I told her I'd travel any distance, just to hold her...

And so it was.


All I can say is.........   holy frickin wow....


Thoughts?  Comments?  Questions?


In a state of utter amazement,

Stone

OMG!  That is so amazing.  I swear, if I ever manage to project properly, I hope something like that happens to me (of course, gotta have a bf first), anyway.  Your experience is, well, unique and really quite amazing.  I really don't have much to say on it except what you said "holy freakin wow!"

Got any tips for someone stuck (like me), at relaxation?  I can't get vibrations or nuthin!

Andali

What a great story. This is just the kind of thing I came to this forum to read about. It's so clear. I've bookmarked it so I can come back to read it again.

Thank you.

You're most welcome.

I feel honored that this has happened.  I will most likely try to connect with her again, Astral situations allowing of course.

I'll keep this thread updated with any further adventures.

Andali,  I'm going to try to write up, in the most concise way I can, the methods and techniques I've been using to get OB.  Hopefully it will help you, and any others who may pass by here.


cheers,

Stone

Holy frickin wow indeed.

I can't really criticize this like I do a lot of other claims, you did the phone call double sided verification. Kick. butt.

How damned romantic.... *yearns*

...and until last night we hadn't seen each other in three years.

And since she has no computer we still do all of our correspondence, the really old fashioned way.  Handwritten letters.

Maybe tomorrow I'll have another update.



One can hope.


Stone

Wow.  That's awesome.

I'm tingling all over reading that.

Wow.

Sarah

wow, very beautiful! also I realy enjoyed your writing style, are you are a writer of some sort?

Incredible story stone, thankyou for sharing it with us :)

Quote from: manuelwow, very beautiful! also I realy enjoyed your writing style, are you are a writer of some sort?

Thanks...

Actually yeah, I do write alot.  Though this is the first time I've written fantastical non-fiction... lol

I've always referred to this girl as my muse, it's nice to finally get a chance to write _about_ her.

...and as for updates.  Nothing but strange dreams happened last night.  Though I'm hoping that since today is Valentines day, and all sorts of love energy will be saturating the Astral, that the powers that be, will permit me to see her again.

I'll let you all know.


cheers,

Stone

Awesome! I'll book-marked it to..............

I wish you luck in your coming endeavours to meet with her!

Stone -- very interesting story.

Whenever I'm out and want to meet someone, I will either mentally focus on them or verbally call out their name while focusing on them and the same thing happens. Its like I'm picked up slightly off the ground and landscape begins zooming past at lightening speed and then I arrive there. Its not a romantic connection for me though. I have a very good friend whom I rarely see, but we communicate often via email. I have occasionally gotten side tracked when I try visiting her (usually when I am not totally mentally there as far as concsiousness goes).

But the one time I was able to make a connection was great. I used the door method. Not sure if you've every tried that. But I simply created a door in mid air and mentally wrote her name on it, knowing that she would be on the other side when I did. When I opened the door, I entered her bedroom which is where she was at the time.

Her husband was at the foot of the bed getting dressed for work. She was still in bed half asleep. I jumped on the bed bouncing and yelling at her to wake up that she's dreaming and I'm visiting her. She woke up sleepily and thought I was crazy. I told her I wanted to show her something. I took her hand and began to float up through the ceiling with her. But when I went through the ceiling, I lost her hand and the connection broke.

I sent her an email in the morning when I woke up telling her I tried to visit her last night. She was in Europe at the time and I live in the US. She replied it was funny I said that. Because she was just telling her husband she dreamt I was in her bedroom jumping up and down on the bed and yelling about something. Then she dreamt she was floating up and then landed on a mountain with her brother. She remembered everything about the experience, but she wasn't conscious enough to understand it. I guess that happens sometimes when you 'wake' people up within a dream.

But she remembered the details which shocked me. That was the first time anyone was able to remember the details as I did from a previous experience together.

Pretty cool though!

Extremely wonderful post. Thank you for sharing. I resonate with this on many levels. I too have a "muse" but for perhaps different reasons, we too are "Far apart" in this life.

I am married to an amazing, wonderful woman. I thank the Gods daily for her in my life. Yet, that other person (you know, "her") has some kind of spell on my Soul. Just when I convince myself how much better my life is without her in it, and how perfect my wife is (she really IS by the way) she shows up in a dream, and I am left once again in a state of nostalgic taboo of longing.

I'm going to try to contact her the next time I AP, just to see what in the heck happens. Perhaps I may find some answers why she seems to have the key to my Soul.

wow stone, amazing expireance

-En

Great story, Stone.  One of my biggest motivations for wanting to AP is to overcome some distance issues of my own, and this is awesome verification that it can be done, and can be real.  Right on.  :D

Okay.  Update time...

Nonono... don't get excited just yet.  This isn't an OMGFRICKINWOW update.  But some of you seem interested, and I feel chatty so here we go...

I haven't had a single OBE since the experience with Her.  I think I'm wanting it too badly at this point.  Either that, or, more likely, I expended ALOT of my Astral Batteries to travel across the world and hug her, and now I'm in a state of recharge.

I've been dreaming of her alot though.  Which is new.  I usually have dreams with her in them once in a while.  But so far it's been every night.

Two nights ago I "awoke" from a lucid dream, and was aware of my second body.  Although it wasn't floating above me, half in half out, it was as if it was just saying, "Yep.  Still here.  Don't you worry.  We'll be making flight plans again soon."

So.  Nothing major.  Just thought I'd pass along the minutes to you all...

...and Andali, I know I promised a breakdown of how I get Astral.  It's coming, though, it's turned into a bit more of a major undertaking than I expected.

Turns out I'm long winded.

Who'dve guessed?  ;)


cheers all,

Stone

Novice,

This is a great idea.  I've gotta try it...  Thanks for posting it.


Stone

Wow... amazing!  This story made me cry... *(hugs)*  Thank you so much for sharing it!

Just wanted to say THANK YOU for sharing. This story is such a motivator!!!  Can`t wait to read more amazing things  :D

Excellent story: thanks for sharing!

Doug

Oh man this is so amazing !

I just wanted to post also Stone.  The experience was really amazing to read and thanks. Good validation for the forum readers. I think there is something to the Door to get from the F2 to F3 realm.  The most amazing Astral Projection I ever had I entered through a double door. I did not imagine the door it simply appeared after I was pulled backwards into the sky above my house.  I read of the OBE command "Now I go to the next level" to achieve F3 but I think if you are lucid in F2 imagining a door will be the entrance to F3.  Keep up the good work and I look forward to reading more of your posts.

The most romantic account I ever read.  WONDERFULLL!!!

WOW! Is all I can manage to say! Hope to hear more stories soon!

I believe this may very well be the most inspirational story I've ever heard.
The cynic in me wants to think you're lying but there's just something about the account that makes me so sure its not only true but real. reality is tricky, but if i could define it this would make an excellent example. i can see I'm going off at a tangent here so just let me say "ooft <--Scottish accent  :smile: "

Just got my internet back.

And am happy to say I'm back to the forums.  And I have more stories...

Things get bigger and better.

More to come...  :)

It's great to see you again, stone!

I would definitely love to hear more stories.
