Hello

Hello,

I'm a Computer programmer from Nevada with a short attention span. I found this site because I am interested in astral projections. Are alot of projectors computer programmers? I have two books on the subject and they were both written by software engineers... Maby I am being psychically drawn to other coders, or it could just be a fantastic coincidence. I have never had an Out-of-body experience, but I am working on it.

I am a very fun loving guy, people think I am weird, I work in a Call center all day and I program all night until I cant keep my eyes open anymore. I am drawn to astral projection because I don't like the Idea that I spend 8 hours a day (or 1\3rd of my life) unconscious (asleep) and it seems like a good way to escape the confines of my normally dull and routine life and have an adventure.

Oh and even though I am from Las Vegas, I am not a compulsive gambler and I don't work in a casino. (for some reason, people from out of state ask me that...)

i like astral projection and i would like to be a programmer but that does not mean there's a lot of people who astral projects and also likes to program, trust me, the astral world is beyond any computer program, think of world realler than this one that you can make anything happen and experience it like you do on earth but with power of your will and imagenation alone, no code is needed

Hi Redwizard000

Welcome to the forums.  Have a good look around - it's packed with useful information.  Two sections to focus on are the Astral FAQs and Permanent Topics - both full of great reads.

My advice if you wish to be conscious while you sleep is to learn lucid dreaming (where you are aware you are dreaming during the dream).  First step is to start a dream journal, where you write/type all the night's activity that you can remember, including your emotions etc., etc., etc.  Then think about the dreams during the day and try to work out if they are attempting to tell you something about your life.  In short, respect your dreams.

As you learn to be aware of situations in your dreams, there will come a time when something will happen and you'll think to yourself, "hang on, that's not possible, heck I must be dreaming!"

Projecting from a lucid dream is one of the easiest things to do.  Actually, in my opinion, a lucid dream is a projection, but if you wish to remove some of the more "dreamier" aspects, you can do a variety of things.  My usual one is to go through the nearest wall/door/window willing the dream nonsense to disappear.  This works everytime.

Oh, and at night before you go to sleep tell yourself (mentally) that you are lucid dreaming.  Don't say "I will lucid dream" but say, "I am lucid dreaming".  This tells the subconscious and eventually the subconscious will send a signal to your mind during a dream, saying "I am lucid dreaming".  Ta-da!

It's as easy as that...
