yes everytime im out.It is kind of like a meditation.My mind is totally clear.Ive been stuck in a few places for what seemed like a long time.
If I had any thoughts,I probably would of started to panic.In constricting places of that sort its very easy too.Things have started to blurr on me.When I started to think about whats going on around me.So I just dont.
Hey RB mentions about these places called voids in his book.He said they make for great meditation spots.There is nothing there at all but your concious and surrounding blackness.I think ive actually been in a few.Its like time slows in these places.Your astral body moves in slow mo. too.Its really a strange feeling.

You can meditate into successively deeper lucid dreams from inside each one. Eventually, a consciousness will ask you what you want, but it seems to talk you out of whatever it is. For instance, you could say you want apples. It will say there are apples. Eventually, you will learn to ask the right way, realize what you really want, and the consciousness says "Wish granted."
If you have a meditation-based spiritual practice, I recommend that you try to meditate in your next projection/lucid dream. This morning I tried it, after a tip from Tom, and was astounded at the clarity and strength of mind it allowed. Not having a physical body/surroundings for distraction really aids in an almost perfect sitting experience. Find an empty area on the Astral and get into your asana and go to it. Vipassana does not work as well as Samatha here. Concentrate on an object in your surroundings heavily and completely for as long as possible. I was able to do it for about 10-15 minutes of astral time and when I woke up it felt as if I'd meditated for 8 hours or so. I think this technique could be a valuable springboard to accelerate a person's practice.
