Hello Board!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am new here

[TravelingBull]

 I want to share a couple of experiences and hopefully get some insight to help my progress!

I just started meditating again after taking years off. I use to have visions and dreams that would come to pass
and traveled as an evangelist in my early years. Not really preaching... more prophetic seminars. Back then, i was very connected
to the Spiritual realm.

So now the present time: I started meditating just using breathing technique... first day... about 30 mins.
also all day I was using the dot on the hand technique, to check if I was in the Astral or not... did this all day yesterday

Went to bed with no intent on trying to OOBE (i have never had a conscious OOBE)... My Labrador (DOG) decides at 3 am it needs out and wakes me up...
I let her out and waited 5 mins. for her to return. I notice that during this period of 5 mins. that i am forcing myself to stay awake.
Dog returns and i decide that I am in a perfect state to connect and meditate... here is what happened next

I lay on the couch and just relax... for about 10 mins with eyes resting and closed... body was easily falling asleep now and my mind was really relaxed yet Sharp and keen, I really enjoyed how i felt so i decided to check my dot... as i pulled my hand in front of my face I NOTICED NO DOT!!!!!! I said COOL!!!!!!!!!! I KNEW I COULD DO THIS EASILY! then a thought hit me so profound... MY EYES ARE CLOSED!!!!!!!!!!! then i felt the shock of breaking the state I was in! opened my eyes and started laughing for about 2 mins. then closed my eyes again and almost instantly or so it seemed i was in the middle of my living room... went for the dot check again (by the way... i really learned to love this dot!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHA) and just when i was about to look at my hand... my whole family was in the living room and I saw a tornado thru my Glass doors coming from the South West and it was heading right for the house! I screamed prepare for impact a tornado is coming! we all hit the floor and i seen it hit the sliding glass doors and went counter clock wise around the house hitting it every inch of the way, when it got half way around the house i noticed my dog was outside in front of the garage and the garage door was open... i seen thru the walls, that's how i tracked the tornado! The dog hates storms yet he was not effected by the tornado... the tornado never got into the house... then left. then i woke up.

I know lucid dreams can have meaning due too past experiences and sometimes they are dead fish perse'! this one has meaning... i will meditate today to see if I can get some resolve, however any insight would be nice!

By the way... been studying AP for about a week... reading books and this board! a lot of good info is here! that's why I joined! GREAT COMMUNITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks for having me!

Hello! Welcome to the pulse! 

[TravelingBull]

once i find the proper place... i would like to share my growth in spiritual awareness, hoping it may help others as you have helped me in the past few days. trying to make sure i post in the proper place! a little hint... my father had NDE when i was 7 or so! I would like to tell his story, which kinda manifested mine! Many conversations before he truly passed thru the spiritual doors helped me develop quickly! I am not a religious nut by no means!!!!!!!!!!!! but the truth i found through him and the experiences here make everything so... plain to see in my eyes.

thank you for the welcomes! we are all trying to understand what our purpose is and what truth is! I am slowly learning truth in the natural can only come from the super natural first! Whether we call it the Astral or Spirit world... it happens there first!

have a great ESCAPE board!!!!!! and keep posting! I LOVE READING UR EXPERIENCES!

 TravelingBull, what is this "Dot Technique" you are talking about? I'd love to hear more about this.
Thank you!

TravelingBull, what is this "Dot Technique" you are talking about? I'd love to hear more about this.
Thank you!

Lionheart... its pretty simple! i put a dot on my palm! all day i constantly check it! it trains your sub conscious  mind to check it! if your in the Astral it will disappear! if you slip into Lucid it will disappear. you will be amazed how easy it is to consciously check this dot when sleeping!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it will pull ur mind out of sleep and ur body will remain. Read this technique in a book... read about ten this past week so the title slips my memory.

 Thank you for the info. Once I finally get comfortable with Phasing consciously I want to try having an OBE from a Lucid Dream. That seems like a great technique there.
Good Luck in your travels!

Hello and welcome I'm a newbie myself. I love the idea of the dot on the hand Good stuff.

What was funny was i half hearted this technique! and got results in the very same day! i know that techniques are hit and miss depending on the individual! thats why i am having so much fun with them! kinda of like learning me! hahahahahahaha!

by the way... got into prayer and meditation on this tornado dream.... in case anyone wants to know... with some help from the infamous internet afterwards....
The dream "tornado", over and over again, turns out to be symbol of the dreamer's own personal relationship to the deepest unasked and unanswered psycho-spiritual questions is his/her life, and these issues always have transpersonal implications as well.
I guess the fact that that house was uneffected as well as my loved dog implies that the quest I am on wont effect my household nor my life style! thats great news because when I seek something... I risk all for the answer! I learned fear kills... faith gets results, while this is a great attitude it has it fall backs! not considering everyone in my house is one of them! have a great weekend board!
