VERY unusual dream about astral travel to a distant planet

[jason]

I don't remember very much.This dream was much less 'shifty' than normal dreams.I was inhabiting the body of a 'local' on the planet.They looked basically human to me, though I don't remember exactly what they looked like.

The most interesting part that I remember was the device used for space travel, & travel in the sky on the planet itself:

It was an 'ion drive' thruster that was small enough to hold in my hand.When not in use, it folded in a complex way, into a rod shaped device that fanned out like a small trumpet or something at each end.The ends had these blueish white lights on them.

I asked them how  these devices worked, & they showed me in metaphoric images how the ion thruster folded out into a certain configuration, & how some of these parts combined w/other parts on it.

These devices were fairly common on this planet apparently.

Near the end of the 'deam' :confused: , I told them that I was an astral traveller from another planet.They were stunned.They asked what I thought of their planet.I looked around.To my right was a huge body of water.There were huge waves crashing against a rocky shoreline, & I could see islands in the distance.It was so beautiful that I started to get tears in my eyes.

I was about to tell them how beautiful it was, when it faded away, & I woke up.

wierd, eh?  :confused:

Very interesting, were you lucid during this?

I was lucid-although in varying degrees.At the beginning I was only slightly lucid, & by the end, I was fully lucid.Especially when I was looking out over the ocean, & talking w/the others, telling them I was projecting.

Thanks for the link!

I've looked at that website, & it seems that the ion thrusters on their planet would have to have been refined far,far beyond our current technology.

very interesting, & I would like to go back.I thought of a very interesting idea-it would be cool if I could project to the planet again, & take over the body of a local again.Then I would use an ion thruster to fly back to earth to my house, & enter my own body.I would then have one of their ion thrusters!

Not sure what I'd do w/the alien body.He probably wouldn't appreciate me taking over his body & flying away w/it

that's pretty neat.  my dreams are never that interesting.
