The Land of the Camping Stars

[Nagual]

The question is... do you really have a body...
Personaly, I had quite a few experiences where I seemed not to have one.  Also, some where I could remove a part of my body and just go on fine...

For some people, we have an astral body because we think we "must" have one...

[holy reality]

I'll try to keep this short.

I had a lucid dream, I'm not sure how I entered it but I recall falling asleep and seeing my high school, then it disappeared, I tried very hard to see it again, and could keep it in my head for a few seconds, growing longer each time it popped up, after a while I tried to step into it and I think I succeeded.

This may have been a different dream though, I can't remember.

What I do remember is that I went flying... I attempted to fly into space so that I could orbit the Earth and land wherever I wanted, I didn't succeede..... so I looked at the sun, which I assumed to be setting, and flew where I thought East was.... flew as fast as I could and as high as I could, with limited successs... I didn't know where I was going, at first I wanted to go to Vegas, but that's west of me... I figured cardinal directions didn't matter since this is just a dream and where I ended up resulted largely on my subconscious and the few scattered thoughts and beliefs I had while flying... but at any rate I came to a mountain range which I could not fly over...

I decided to fly through it, which took a lot of will power... so I was tunneling through the mountain and these strange silver and metallica looking tunnels would pop up, naturally I got a bit nervous wondering what kind of strange things might live in the middle of a mountain, but I pushed those thoughts aside and tried to fly in a straight path rather than through the tunnel systems I saw.

I was in the mountain for about 5 minutes and ended up in a sewer full of crocodiles, which of course didn't feel hesitant to start biting me... well... I was having some difficulty getting out of the sewer whilst battling crocodiles but I succeeded... I came out and there was a cop with her gun drawn threating to shoot me... I disarmed her and carried on, the got shot several times in various places... no matter...

I was in some really cool looking city, and I wasn't sure which city it was, but I wanted to go to New York... for a second it looked like New York, but the buildings were kind of changing... I took flight and ended up at what would appear to be Cape Canaveral, they were about to launch a shuttle... only instead of it being along an ocean it was along a small bay type area with trees along the end of it, forming a sort of wall around the scene, as if, there were nothing beyond the trees.

This more or less ended.

A long while later I became lucid, stepped outside, floated up into the air, and said something akin to "i'm asking any and all higher good astral beings, such as angels, to take me to a place of unimagined beauty" ....... well... i started spinning at this point, and looked up at the sky, and it was kind of like one of those transitions where a vetical line rotates around the screen... on the left of the vertical line was a beautiful dark blue sky, on the right was the normal sky, and as it spun around it was transforming things, but I was spinning along side it. I stopped spinning, only to stop the transition halfway through, so I figured I'd better resume spinning and let the transition finish.

It did.... and wow.... it wasn't what I'd call "unimaginable beauty" and I've been to better places, but... it was very cool. The sky was like a painting..... very very rich dark navy blue, and the clouds were kind of like renaissance artworks, kind of like on the cistine chapel, only all white.... it was very remniscent of Smashing Pumpkins type artwork, for lack of better terms... but it was very serene and beautiful.

There were these long colorful sticks resembling tinker toys stranded about everywhere.... and I started flying around and I asked where this was, and a rather annoyed voice said "the land of camping stars" but it was hard to hear him, so I repeated "the land of camping stars?" and he said yes.

I flew around and someone, seemingly me said "they sure are all looking at us strangely"...... but... who was US? I'm not sure... I also wasn't really aware that this place was inhabited by people. As I was flying over and around and through the tinker toy complex I noticed figures on the ground... and I "clicked" on them, much like Ever Quest, and they were spiders.... well.. that was okay... they didn't look harmful and I was up in the air... well... at least I was...

Now I'm on the ground and the spiders are fairly large, but not larger than me, they aren't particularly real or hostile looking, and are brightly colored, yellow and black and such... one bit me... I wasn't freaking out, but I wasn't really pleased to be in their presence and was trying to get away....

I woke up kicking and punching my sheets for a good 15 seconds, then wrote "the land of camping stars" down ona piece of paper.

So................................................

Has anyone ever been here? I'm assuming it's not a definite "land" in the astral realm that anyone can go to, and more or less a creation of my mind... but... well.. it was really strange...

Also, the voice of whoever it was I was asking about this land... it was the same voice as the last time I tried to get a higher life form to speak with me.

I had dreamed about my friend killing himself and I was looking up at the stars asking the constellations for help (i'm not sure why i was asking CONSTELLATIONS for help, though)... "Leo" came down, and he didn't seem pleased to be helping me, but he stayed with me and was rather gruff and to the point and annoyed sounding...

with the exact same almost inaudible and perhaps internally perceived (? my subconscious ?) voice as the one in this land of the camping stars dream.

Okay so... one last thing, I read you aren't supposed to be able to close you eyes when projecting.. and though I did not induce vibrations and leave my body today, we are always in the astral body when we dream right? Especially when you cross over to lucidity? Well I closed my eyes just fine, and after a while I started seeing inner eye visions representing what I used to see with them opening... and eventually they transitioned into vivid pictures just as they were with my eyes open.

There was a definite closing action involved though.
