I peered into the astral today

[Th13rteen]

Thought id post this here because what I experienced/saw seemed to be more astral related instead of RTZ related, as it felt like I was looking into the past or in a memory of my own.

I was having a vivid dream (not lucid) which I was a 3rd person invisible observer in an X files episode. I had a feeling like my body was in danger (just like I did when I had my very first and only OOBE) and realized I was in bed asleep. I could hear the roaring/whooshing vibrational/hypnagogic noise but didnt feel the vibrations like I used to. I lay there in mind awake/body asleep mode just playing with the event as it unfolded before me. Everything was pitch black because I had my eyes closed, but then all of a sudden I started seeing shapes form. It was if an image or a scene was appearing in my black eyelids but it was fading in from the center of my field of view and getting bigger and bigger. It got to a certain point to where I could tell what I was looking at and I realized I was looking at my old bedroom in my grandmothers house (where I grew up) and I got excited. I thought it was cool to be seeing what I was seeing, and it felt like I was looking through a window because I could still feel myself in bed. Upon realizing this I noticed I was seeing my old room from the same point of view as if I was there in THAT bed at that time. I tried opening my eyes bigger to see more but I ended up opening my real eyes and that caused me to wake up fully and end the experience. I think I was replaying an old memory of my childhood and was an observer in all of this, was kinda cool nonetheless. I have never viewed other locales (real or imaginary) in this way and the whole experience seemed so real, as if happening in normal every day consciousness. This brings to me a new definition to "remote viewing"!

Cool - that type of experience is common for me. I enjoy being able to "see" without having to "travel" - sometimes it can be a little more comfortable and safe-feeling. The more you experience it, the easier it gets to bring it up by will.

I tried opening my eyes bigger to see more but I ended up opening my real eyes and that caused me to wake up fully and end the experience.

I've done that a lot also - what I'm looking at is so real I've opened my eyes to prove to myself they've been closed. You're also close to phasing. If you allow yourself to fully immerse in the experience and lose touch with the physical, you've phased. But staying in bed and watching is cool too.
