Astral Teacher

[ChopstickFox]

This was kind of neat so I wanted to share. Confidence booster at its best!

I was in a sort of classroom. Some of the people I had recognized from my old girl scout troop. They really just made me feel uncomfortable when I saw them (no wonder... they had always made me uncomfortable when I was little...). After that mess of a reunion, we were joined by an older woman. The instructor. I read her name... Amy Graham? Gram? Grammar? I forget exactly, but I've never been good at reading when not awake. She shared that she was going to teach us how to fly in the astral. At first she got quite a bit of ridicule for being there. But I was fascinated. Teaching things in the astral? I spoke to her for a little bit, but I was a little afraid to be too open or even share that I dabbled in it a bit. Yeah, I thought I was awake a this point.

We went outside, a transition that we entered the astral and she started teaching people how to fly. I recognized this as the football field at my old high school. I started helping people learn, knowing that I already could. I didn't want to show that though. When the other students started getting the hang of it, they started making fun of me for not being able to fly. Wait a second, hadn't I just helped them?

Suddenly something dangerous started approaching. I'm not even sure if I ever even saw what it was. The other students started freaking out and falling from the sky. I knew we were in danger and without a second thought, I ran at it across the field, transforming in a flash into my usual form and rising into the air. The other students gasped, but they were no longer making fun.

My memory started getting patchy. But I don't think those details are the important ones or the point. The point is, the danger was warded away. I landed and expected to be ridiculed, but I wasn't. There was no celebration, either. But something better. Respect. I looked at the teacher and she smiled at me.

what an excellent story!  The non-physical is an amazing place indeed.  So when you are usually in the astral are you walking or what is your form of transportation from point A to B?  For me its always flying (maybe because I'm in a wheelchair) and if I need to go somewhere its usually by teleportation, at first I thought it was flying but its so fast that I can't see if I'm flying or just appearing in the new position. 

The weird part is in dreams I'm always walking, but in the astral is flying.  I recall having huge issues in lucid dreams trying to fly.  My legs would always go up in the air first and my lower body would be pointing to the floor.

I rarely ever do the whole float thing unless its like right after exiting and I kind of float about my room. Everywhere else, my understanding of Earth physics usually comes into play. I either walk around as a human or more often I'm in the usual form I take which has wings. Flying is a good amount of work and it was definitely something I needed to teach myself and through practice. I don't have a transportation form, per say. More just my typical form happens to be able to fly. Wouldn't have it any other way :3

I've teleported around in a few dreams. WOW! It was an amazing feeling!!! I really can't describe it.

The few time's I've floated, sometimes I end up off balance and out of control, haha! It's like "hey, wait a sec......"

If your environment is ALL you knew of, no physical, no sleeping body awareness and the awareness possessed was totally this one environment then the rest makes perfect sense. You have no animosity for those ridiculing you.
This was a test.
Expect more from this.
Whatever comes, be yourself no matter what the presented odds may be. You'll have an experience that you can't forget.
I get little things like this and a short time later I'm called upon for my services. They've always occurred this way, it's as if some entity requires some proof of characteristic for the upcoming quest. I hope it's a retrieval. Your instincts will be required at lightening speed, just as in the above.
Hope it's soon. It can be the same day or a month later, I never can tell. It gets you by surprise. Expecting nothing and your in the thick of it.
Failiure is not an option...
