OBE sequence I had this morning

[Astral316]

It's 4 am. I awaken with this uncomfortable energy and can't fall back asleep. I naturally project with the "wake back to bed" method so when I do eventually pass out I hit sleep paralysis. I'm on my side which is not a normal projecting position for me. This may be why I have astral vision and can see a fairly accurate depiction of my bedroom, but have trouble escaping the paralysis. I struggle to move but to no avail. I recieve a mildly threatening yet hazy vision of a guy attacking me in third person, and not long after hear a typical creepy laugh. I wake up at last and, relieved, embrace control of my body.

I switch positions onto my stomach and soon end up in a much friendlier vibrational state. I see the backyard through my bedroom window and like second nature, rocket out over it, over the trees, marshland, brook, and train tressel behind it. The rollercoaster effect never gets old. I have a few episodes of a similar nature during this OBE sequence.

I now integrate into a location I identify as the woods not too far from my house. I see a stump and what looks like a piece of firewood sitting vertically on it. For some reason I instinctively focus on the piece of firewood. With a bit of effort it flings backwards and lands on the ground. This brings me a strange sense of accomplishment like I completed a "challenge" so to speak. As I type this and think about it, I've never bothered trying to manipulate astral objects through thought alone in the past. I'm guessing this could've been a lesson designed to help me pursue that aspect of the practice?

I find myself once again looking out into the backyard from my bedroom window. Typical, except this time I'm staring into a completely warped version of it. It's a sunny day. Everything is green this time of year in the physical, yet there are no trees. There is no brook that I can discern, just a wide open plain like you may find in the western states. The train tracks still exist, though possibly distorted, because the focal point of this experience is the train on it. When I first see it from my window, I'm taken aback. The boxcars on it are very grotesque in shape and design. I can't help but think of a lobster claw when trying to remember their appearance. I'm curious and fly over to the moving train.

The locomotive is red, sleak and modern looking like the kind used for public transportation. There are symbols and writing covering it that catch my interest, as they seem to be middle eastern or indian in origin. I begin trying to sound out any familar letters/words as the train passes. One of these words appeared to be "buWo" or "buWu."

I'm back in my bedroom and I guess I have full use of my body instead of being a point of consciousness. For a change of pace, I walk out of my bedroom, down some stairs and out the front door. I see it's just after sunset but not completely dark. It's also raining and I can feel the humidity in the air. I figure I'll go directly across the street to an old neighbor's house that was recently abandoned. Why? It's an abandoned house so buried treasure of course!

I make it to the front lawn and notice I can't simply hop this particular barrier in front of me, a fence if I recall correctly. Suddenly I hear a female voice say verbatim, "You are not aloud to go here." She sounded like one of those GPS voices... nothing threatening but firm enough for me to back off. Still, it made me question if there are really "privacy barriers" placed on different locations near the physical. I return to my body right after this.

Well hope y'all enjoyed, any discussion is welcome.

Astrals have places to live too you know. It's possible one of them was living there and they told you not to enter. I found it kind of funny how you can fling objects by thought but you can't hop a fence. Thanks for sharing though

Regarding restricted areas, during an OOBE I asked to go visit an ex-boyfriend and I saw an international symbol for 'no' (circle and slash) and then a symbol for a broken heart so I translated that as he was off limits because I had broken up with him and he was still smarting/mad/whatever. I kind of like the idea there may be some privacy rules in the astral.

There are no "rules" are laws in the realm. However each kingdom and person have their own set of rules. His may have been unintentional cause he was hurt, so he would not what to see the person who hurt him. In this case, you.

 The first time I did a retrieval, I was bringing the wounded soldier (the retrieval victim) up a large set of stairs to what would be some kind of ambulance port or dock. People came running out of the huge building connected to this dock and helped the soldier inside. I turned and went to follow, but received a very strong sensation that I wasn't to go any further here. I think this was because A:this was my first retrieval and I had seen enough already or B: this was as far as my training has taken me at the moment and to see more I must learn more first. So, I just turned around and went to the 3D Dark zone and hung out for a while before ending the session. Almost every session in the Astral yields a new lesson or teaching for me now. My favorite place to be is the 3D Dark zone, it's incredibly peaceful and there is NO Pain, which is an incredible relief for someone who lives in chronic pain. My real goal with Astral Travel is to find a way to heal myself. I will never give up, I know it can be done. When I come back from a Astral session I am pain free for about an hour.

Yea, I had great hopping technique too but was literally blocked. The two experiences were different in nature as well, take a GTA game for an example... you can free roam the city but there are some places you can't trespass, then you have your mini-games. Not sure if the voice came from an "astral" as I rarely ever see life-like people in the RTZ. It seemed to come from everywhere (and nowhere) instead of one specific location.

Ha, I've also had picture messages when asking certain questions. But yea I agree, if the astral is truly a collective unconscious privacy rules would probably be a good thing lol.

Interesting experience. I'm in a similar boat having broken my lower spine in a few places last year though I've been able to keep pain to a minimum. What's the cause of your chronic pain?

 Mine is Degenerative Disc Disease that started when I was 18 years old. I kind of have to laugh sometimes when I read all the threads here about drugs and OBE's. For years I tried to avoid taking painkillers with any kind of drug in them, didn't want to get hooked. Then about 3 years ago my doctor introduced me to Vicodin. Now I take Percocet regularly and hate it. There's not alot you can do constructively on Percocet. It's just too strong, but it definitely makes Astral Travel easy. Don't get me wrong though, I am not taking it to Astral Travel. The next step through my doctor is fusing nerves. It costs about 8000$ and has to be done 4 times a year. I still haven't given up hope on finding a solution in the Astral World.

Certainly you can be healed in the astral, at least if the accounts of Monroe's explorers are to be believed.  However it isn't so much a matter of healing yourself, rather, it's a matter of contacting "higher" entities with the "technology" to heal.  If that makes sense. 

Here's an excerpt from the experiences of one of the Explorers at the Monroe Institute:

"Two discs came to me. At first it looked like two big eyes. I was put
on one of them. I am spinning around and there is a light being put on
me. I had a pain in one part of my body and they are working on that.
They are spinning me around on this disc and shooting a light beam on
me. My body is heavy because of this physical pain I had when I woke up
this morning. I feel sluggish today and not as clear as before, so they are
trying to help me. I say 'they.' I feel there is someone there, but it looks
like two discs and a light. I was put on one disc and I don't know what
happened to the other disc. I am still lying on one disc. It is getting more
light. There is light over all my body. I think the light is coming from the
other disc which is up over me. It is as if I am between two energy discs."

 Thank you for the info. That experience looks almost like what is done during an alien abduction, go figure. After last night's session, all I can say is "I have been heard". That was one of the most conforting things I have been told. I was trying there not to divulge too much information, I am understanding more and more now about the "Astral Rules". Where it is ok to chat about how to get there, just not about all the experiences that occur there. It kind of sounds like the advertising for Vegas, "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas", go figure!
