I fell asleep while "noticing" the stages of falling asleep.I noticed that it happens in distinct stages of deepening.I tried to get to a vivid hypnogogic state that I noticed the night before, but couldn't quite do it.
I became aware quite suddenly.It felt more solid than the dreamstate, as RTZ projections usually do.
I looked around, trying to get an idea of where exactly I was.There were pinpoint stars all around me-& I do mean all around me.I looked directly below me & was shocked at the prospect of floating over seemingly infinite light years, & having no point of reference to where earth or even our sun was.Our star was nowhere nearby- If it was out there, it was mixed in w/the other stars.& was impossibly far away. I quite literally felt the astonishing distances all around me.A very very strange feeling-frightening, yet strangley beautiful & alluring, & filled w/absolute silence & stillness.I felt like I was a long, long, long way from home.Then, while looking around & feeling all these strange things, I noticed an ever so slight glimmer of more light in one direction.Perhaps a nebula or star cluster, it was too faint to tell.I wanted to go there, & the instant I had that thought, I kinda "warped" towards that area. Unfortunately it caused my awareness to flicker for a split second, & I don't really remember what happened after that.
I've had this type of experience before, & i'm looking forward to the next time.I's also like to hear of any similar or related experiences. :?
That's a well written description of your experience Jason. The words tell me this was a real thing because I've experienced similar things over the years and registered the feelings you emanated into your post. The only difference is I was awake and "meditating".
The warping feeling is something I like, at first I couldn't tell if it was a pulling or pushing sensation for me. In the end I recognized it as a pulling towards where my attention was directed. Also, a similar thing happens with our Sight. For example: many years ago now I was sitting for a few minutes, preparing to journey, when suddenly I was way out there and when I realized the situation I wondered where earth was. In rapid increments my sight telescoped in earth's general direction, then to our solar system; another rapid movement and I could see earth sitting in the star-filled background. So I decided if I was there, a reason existed, which was when I felt a sensation approaching me from behind and turned to see a large "Armada" moving through space at a decent speed but obviously not warping. The rest of that journey has been posted here a couple of years ago.
You're doing well, maybe you might like to try sitting and meditating with the memory/feeling of what it was like for you to be there. Remembering the feeling is like dialing a phone number, it hooks you back up again. :-D
One problem with space travel is that it gets almost impossible to navigate once Earth/Sol is lost as a reference. For that reason it would appear that the best way to space travel is to concentrate on a specific target destination, like the Moon or Mars, and then try to teleport/travel instantly to that location.
Also the time it takes to travel through space even at faster than light speeds pretty much precludes going through space in a "Star Trek"-like manner.

Hi Grey,
I find the time taken to get anywhere is fairly minimal, a couple of seconds to closer places, and a few more for destinations further afield. When I found the membranous bubble-skin boundary of our universe a few years ago it had only taken what felt like 5 to 10 seconds to arrive once the Intention had been set.
I wonder about the Star Trek warp factor thing, especially after seeing NASA's 3D map of the "Super Highways in deep space" that was shown on a recent crop circle DVD (Unsigned Circles 2006?). The same design was found in a field in England and when NASA saw the pics they provided the map to the researchers. The theory is once you get into the flow of these paths/patterns you will travel at extreme speeds, much like the fast ocean currents illustrated in "Finding Nemo".

I haven't tried that, but I can feel the possibilities in this approach.I'll try that. :-D
I haven't really pinpointed what happens w/the warping thing, but it sounds right.I can feel how that could happen.Possibly a pulling feeling on the solar plexus? It is really interesting about how astral sight works-it's
far more variable & "adjustable" than physical sight.That's how I noticed the distant nebula or star cluster.Many yrs ago I managed a concious projection to our sun.I managed to adjust my sight & filter out the overly bright aspects of its light.It allowed me to see it's incredible & violent surface features.I wasn't really really close, but close enough to see.

True-The only way I've found to be successful in space travel is to know the exact point of light you are aiming for.It's best done from or near earth-once you get furthur away, the star charts don't work anymore.If I get do this more reliably & conciously, I plan on exploring mars-especially its undergound regions.There's a pic floating around the internet of a massive sinkhole on Mars, photographed by a probe.You can see some interior parts in shadow, & it goes down so far that it dissapears into blackness.If you figure in the fact that water has existed there, you can guarantee that there's a substantial cave system on Mars.It would also be the most likely place for surviving life forms to flourish.

The Membrane bubble skin thing-really interesting! I'd like to know how to find that!
The Superhighways of deep space is an idea worth looking into.If one were to get to know where these were, & then project there...
