Been Lurking for Awhile and I Should've Said Hello Earlier

[APtoVegas]

Hi everyone--

I've been lurking and reading hundreds of posts on here for several months now. I really didn't want to start asking questions or commenting until I was familiar with the material on the forum. But I should have at least said hello! So hello!

I really have to compliment both the administrators and contributing members! The information, experiences, and opinions have been both wonderful and insightful. I'm so glad this forum exists!

I practiced relaxation and meditation for several years in my 20s back in the 1990s and many failed attempts at phasing, although many wonderful experiences with just the meditation aspect. At the time I used the 'self-hypnosis' series of (cough cough) cassettes with guided meditation. At the time I could get rather easily to a vibrational state even before I knew what it was. I don't recall the authors I was reading at the time about astral projection, but I never saw a mention of the vibrations. The internet wasn't much at the time.

Several years ago, I became more interested in philosophy and opinions on the nature of the world and all that good stuff. However, I really never felt a connection and truth in the tenets of religions (not that I've studied many of them). After some time I came upon the Jane Roberts' series of Seth books and read most of them from cover-to-cover and was really astonished at the possibility of actual truth to them. Just the idea of explanations that didn't have so much dogma to them. From then on it was really exploring different areas of thought. And so back to the phasing arena I am!

I'm a skeptical inquirer when it comes to the paranormal and love all things that appear supernatural, but enjoy considering paranormal and scientific rationales of events. So I have an open mind, but don't
take every event to be paranormal simply because it appears to be.

Probably too late to make a long story short, but I've had two incredible lucid dream-to-phasing experiences with (almost) complete control and can't wait to share them. I've been keeping a dream diary and really feel like I'm on an incredible path. Not 100% convinced on the origin of what's happening, but going with it and it's really incredible. Regardless of the origin, I am experiencing them.

So hello again and glad to be here! I hope I can help by contributing my experiences and questions soon!

Thank you both! I'm a technical writer by profession with an educational background in engineering, so I place quite a bit of emphasis on labels and their meaning.

I also rely on the wealth of information already available on this forum. You've done a fantastic job of organizing it all.

We do live in an age where people want information "now" and even searches seem to be too much of a burden. And there is a huge knowledge base here to become familiar with as a starting point for further questioning.

I was going to ask if you are a writer of some sort.

Hi and welcome to the Pulse.
A tech writer, nice.
A professional writer I've had the pleasure of aquainting at her abode is Hilary Mantel. Her coffee is excellent too.
Im sure you've heard of her success in the booker prize.

Hello
I am completely new to here so excuse my ignorance

Is lucid dreaming been able to control your dreams?

if so I can do this and have used it as a source on dream entertainment for years.

Maybe it just that I have always had a a vivid imagination but when I fall asleep I tend to decide what i want to dream and then its a show

mostly visiting this world in the future

As I get deeper the control ends

Is this lucid dreaming or just a vivid imagination?

Welcome your view

I've been doing the same thing, reading up on an endless amount of threads just trying to learn and understand all the different perspectives people bring to this forum. I love the material found on this forum as well, it's such a refreshing change
