Question to those who project

[Voltarrens]

[]Hello, I'm new around here as well.  I go and visit people as well, from the dream state, and have done so for many years and have had conversations with them as well as other interactions.  It's only been recently I've been able to confirm this with a friend across the otherside of the world who I now go visit regularly, he doesn't have enough energy to remember except that there was a 'presence' or light entity with him (which is myself in another form)as well as another friend who has seen me in a physical form with a fairy(energy form/guide).

I don't know if this helps any.

About the higher self. . . maybe it's like everyday conversation where you talk with someone and you just go 'okay' as an acknowledgement that you've taken in the conversation, yet pushing it will reveal that you're not actually in agreement with whatever has been said.  Help some?

Love and Light

Voltarrens,
 Thanks for sharing [], unfortunately, it still keeps lots of questions going...lol.  The ones who visit me, although they feel familiar, do not have that same feeling of familiarity which a friend or family member does.  It's like, I know you've been here before, but I don't know who you are.
  Being highly empathic, I am usually able to trace a person's energy that is familiar, back to it's source.  I can trace any energy, as long as I can get a good feel for it.  
  Guess I am just not going to figure this one out?...lol.  I feel no ill will from these visitors, but I also do not feel any emotions emanating from them.
   Later the same day, after I posted and had had another encounter with a visitor, I then had a visit from a strong neg.  It tried to attach itself to me.  Remembering what Robert said about running water, I went to the basement, where I know how the water pipes run under the house, and crossed it.  Thanks to Robert for that piece of advice!! It worked.  My life has felt like grand central station for so long, it gets rediculous.  Don't they realize that I have a life to live?...lol.
Blessings,

I am new to these forums, so I hope I am not repeating a question.  I am not (yet) someone who is able to project.  However, other things have occurred which I am trying to understand.  So, it is my hope that those of you have have experience in the astral might answer some questions for me.
 Have any of you, while projecting, gone to a friend to visit them?  I remember Robert Monroe writing about this in one of his books.  That he would go visit friends and have conversations with them, while they were going about their business during the day or night.  But, that person would have no conscious recollection of the conversation.
 The reason I ask this is because I regularly have visitors, for want of a better word, that come to me when I am in the semi-sleep state.  I actually almost always nap in this state, choosing to remain lucid.  I can feel them enter my room and walk over to my bed.  I then catch pieces of conversation going on.  I often get a jist of what is being discussed, but not always.  I am then aware that I respond back to them, but I hear myself as if I were someone else.  In other words, it's like being a third person observing a convesation.  Today, I heard myself say "ok" to the individual that was here.  But, since I consciously had no idea what I was agreeing to (this always bothers me) I exerted my will and then I heard the other me (sorry, best way I can describe it) say, "no it's not ok."  How is this possible?  Am I conversing on the astral?  Am I catching my higher self having conversations?  The auditory effect could simply be my conscious minds way of filtering what occurs on the higher level?  Or is something else going on?  Thoughts, ideas, experiences to help explain this?
Thanks,
