Just when I lost interest - it happened...

[JulietIsMyLover]

Hey!! Nice to meet you.. I'm Iselin. Anywho. I learned about astral projection one and a half months ago and decided to try it out. I am, to be quite honest, very impatient and after trying a couple of times without success I simply gave up.. Then about two weeks after I first started I fell asleep and I 'woke' up again and sat up in my bed and felt extremely tired, and almost unable to open my eyes. But I placed my feet on the floor and started pacing across it, I can't remember why I did it, it was almost as if I was trying to find a solution on something, then I stopped and thought, Hey, am I astral projecting?? And I looked a bit around and the light was on, which it wasn't when I fell asleep and then I looked on my bed and everything went dark but I could still see a girl (obviously me) with dark hair. I didn't freak, I was calm. So I went to the door and decided to step through, I mean why not? Since everybody else seems to go through all sorts of things, why not me? I took a big step towards it and smashed my head straight into it. lol.. I felt so stupid. So then I started wondering if I was actually awake and that I was sleep walking or whatever and I tried to step through it again but the same thing happened. Everything felt so real and I could feel the solid wood beneath my finger tips. Then after trying countless times I thought that I'd just go back to bed but couldn't move and a piercing almost hurtful ringing started in my ears. After a while of me struggling with getting somewhere I finally started getting angry because as I said before I'm very impatient. I started shouting and screaming "OH FOR GOODNESS SAKES I WANT TO GO BACK TO MY BEEEED!!!" LoL and then I was snapped back into my body and I woke with a jolt. You have no idea how relieved I was and I was happy if I never experienced another astral trip again..

So I fell back asleep and my head started spinning and a image of a girl's astral body floating out of her cam clearly to my mind, almost as if someone were teaching me how to do it. I felt that my body started to float out and the vibrations started and I opened my eyes and sure enough I was out once again. lol.. I sighed slightly then thought that I wouldn't even bother trying the door this time and went for the window but as I went towards it I felt myself being dragged back to my body and when I was back in my body I started getting sucked down through my bed and into something dark I didn't like it that much so I told myself that I wanted to go back and I did. I woke up yet again and was slightly frustrated cause I felt as if I hadn't slept at all and I had to go to school early the next morning. So I pleaded please just let me sleep and I fell asleep only to wake back up and feeling myself crawling on the wall and my head gliding on the cool surface, hehe strange and I looked down and there I lay sleeping. I was really frustrated and hopped back into my body and woke up for the 38472387 time that night and decided just to skip sleeping and watch some telly..

The next experience I had happened one week after that. It was weekend and early in the morning and my dad woke me up and told me that an incredible sunrise was going on (we have a view towards the sea and mountains peeking up) and it was really lovely with moderate strong colours etc, I told him to leave the blinds up so I could watch it. Then I fell asleep and 'woke' up of some intense colours and I saw that the sunrise had heartbreaking beautiful colours and I've never seen such a beautiful sunrise before, then with a jolt I woke up and saw that the 'real' sunrise was nowhere near the one I just saw.

And now my last, the one I had this morning. I had a dream about my dad being furious with me and I felt really bad and after a while of him yelling at me and telling me I was useless I thought, Ohh, luckily this is just a dream.. Then:    hey! It IS just a dream and I semi-woke up you could say and heard myself breathing heavily I looked slightly around and saw nothing much cause my eyes were very heavy. So I started experimenting with getting out of my body, at first I sat up and hopped out of my body and decided to go/float for a walk I tried emerging through the window but it wouldn't let me, then the door but it wouldn't let me either. I thought it was odd that nothing would let me leave the room even cause I'm not scared of astral projecting at all. But at the same time I felt someone/something there with me and I didn't feel like I should talk to him/her/it because it was almost as if he/she/it didn't want me to know he/she/it was there.. Anyway, so I just stopped wasting my time on trying to get out of my room and jumped into my body again, then I thought I might as well do something while I sleep so I shoot up into the air and I was laughing like crazy because it was an amazing feeling. The flew back into my body and started spinning (on my own will) and spun out of my body and then back in (by now I was amazed that I hadn't woken up yet) then I kind of danced out of my body and out my feet lol.. It was fun.. then I was sucked back in and I woke up with a silly grin..

I don't understand why I can't leave the room though, and the thing standing in my room watching me, I've felt him/her/it all the times I've astraled.. Anyways, that was my experiences..

The "thing" standing in the room might be the feedback your bodies may be giving to each other by being aware of each other. There is some exchange of energy that may manifest as fear, and is heightened by the 'feedback loop' because they are close to each other.  Maybe next time you are out, request out loud to get out of the room in an authoritative manner- this may do the trick.  (I can go through walls no problem- my peeve is that when I get out of the house I usually end up 'somewhere else'.  The last time it looked like my neighborhood but nicer,  like in the future-not the past because we built our house.)
Congratulations on your achievement.

Hi JulietIsMyLover,

As a person is outside the physical body your consciousness is in the astral double.  For a split seconds if you think of going through a wall and thinking for a fraction of a second that its solid and your going to hit your head or body on it or against it you will feel it and it will be solid to you (in your consciousness)  and you can't go through it.

When you lost interest it happened.  Example also of it, when you walk into a room to get something and as you cross into the next room you forgot what you where going to get?  Then you start to think about it and try and find it using your conscience but can't seem to find it.  Then you say I'll forget about it, it will come to me.  

Well you just ask your subconscious to continue to look for it and find it for you.

Then as you walk into the other room it pops in your head or later it pops in your head.  That was your subconscious working the situation for you.

Same with your AP you gave up on it for the moment but your subconscious was still working on it for you and when it figured it out it automatically Projected you out of your body.

Sincerely,
