more and more strange astral-like experiences

[Chaos Mage]

Hello.
Ok.  It was about, well, maybe six days ago, seven days ago??  Well, I went to sleep, and as soon as I fell asleep, I 'put my foot down' onto the ground, and was outside of my house.  It was a very queer environment, I guess not really 'queer', it was just gloomy and yet, there was light coming out of everything.  I looked around, the first thing I noticed was a Barbeque.  It was a big black barbie-Q.  So I tried to get around it, and got around it, walked around a little bit... then I was back 'in my body'.

So in a muddled fart haze of power, I jumped back out of my body, and then, I was in an alternate timeline.  Some kind of super accelerated images went by, and then, I was back at the barbie.  So I got around the barbie, and started to skip down the road.  I looked!!  What!!  What is that!?  And in the distance, where the goblin's nest used to be in our phantasy playtime stuff, there was a whole lot of burning trees all piled together and burning.  And I looked again, and I could hear a voice...  then, I seen the Lion...  the Lion came circling around me, and then he jumped towards me, but he couldn't get me, I remembered what AP says about fear and how fear can control your dreams.  I put my hand out and shouted 'stop!' and the Lion stopped, and said, "You're lucky, but I'm still a lion."  So I was drawn back to my body, and immediately jumped out of it again!

Now, I put my foot back down, and the barbie was still getting in the way.  It was like this barbie Q was something very important, I don't know if that's part of past life experience or not, could be how I died in my last life on some other world.  So I looked, and the Church wasn't there anymore, in it's place, there was some kind of oriental building.  Then, I was back at my body, and I jumped out again!  The barbieQ persisted to 'get in the way'.  I got around it, got outside, and went for the garage.  So I was in the garage, and it was all cleaned up and looking nice, then all of a sudden, this car with this older couple pulls into the garage.  He gets out, "Hey...?  Who are you?  Wait a minute..."  he turns to his wife, "It's him!"  and then he turns back to me, "Well as long as you're here..."  and then I was back in my body.

Well anyway, more stuff happened, aliens, guns, my cats, I could sit here and write it all out, the point is, I'm getting closer and closer to having a lucid AP session!  Yay?  I figure that it has something involving your dream potential, like dream energy of some kind.  Is that why astral vampires feed on people?  They steal your dream energy, like a dream eater?

And for two nights in a row now, I've had repeated 'high end' dream state experiences.  It seems to involve flying with my nutsack, somehow.  I just know, last night, in my dream, I was going to sleep inside of the dream, then waking up with bodily changes.  I was trying to grow hooves and boobies.  Regardless of such mindless perversion, my dream state is gaining momentum! 

I look forwards to being able to go astral direct from meditation.  An old Native dude once told me, "Whether you go to sleep and dream, or meditate and reach a new world, you go to the same place."  not an exact quote, basically that's what he said.

I am also interested in people's insights on this kind if experience. I too have had has conscious OBE's that end up being taken over by dream like story lines and I struggle to become lucid. It's like we are bombarded with all these symbols from our subconscious.

Astral vampires feed off your emotional energy in order to sustain their projection in the etheric realm, without it they lose energy and fade out of the etheric. It consumes a massive amount of energy to remain earth bound.

Imagination, dreams, lucid dreams, astral projection, obes, and the physical realm all intersect and are all the same thing.

Thanks for your replies...
Hm.
Looks like there is no amount to the types of experiences that we can have.
I'm learning, although, no memorable activity last night.  What happened instead, I woke up, and started singing, then went back to sleep.

So true, so true!

Hey Lionheart, where can I find Frank Kepple's phasing resource?  I'll look around here, I know I've tried to find it before, something kept happening where I couldn't see it.  In conscious life, I've had a few prayers where I 'felt like I was in another dimension'.  Just recently.  I'm not really sure... does my increase of magickal practices, worship, banishing, and such, mean more astral time?  Are they raising my energy, and if I don't do them, then I don't have as noticeable dream state?

 It can be found here. http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/welcome_to_the_astral_faq/what_is_phasing_and_how_can_i_do_it-t17413.0.html
I found it using the search engine on the top right hand of the page using the title "Phasing". That search engine really is a handy item!

Thanks!

Actually, it's this one:  http://www.astralpulse.com/frankkepple.html

I read some of the first one, which, I do see that I have read it before.  But not all of it...  poor brain, so smoked out and stupidifed, I guess I gotta do some lookin into Buddhism and get cleaned out.

I'll try phasing tonight, especially the noticing technique.
