Crazy astral projection dreams..

[emilk93]

I have had this happen like 20 times in the last couple of years. Randomly while I am falling asleep, while I am in the Hypnagogia stage, I realize that I am not awake anymore but I am still in my bed laying there but in a whole different state. Pretty much every time I try to push though my body and it usually works. It isn't comfortable to get out of the body usually and I can feel a pain in my teeth but once I am out I can move around with less resistance. Tonight I had the craziest one. I was able to navigate through my house all the way down the hallway, downstairs and out of my front door. I had to open my doors like I would if I was in my real body. Once I got outside I remember my dad was out there telling me about a new neighbor that moved in and there was a house that he was pointing at that doesn't exist in the real world but was in the dream. I don't know why but I woke myself up and went to sleep. The weird thing this time though is that my teeth hurt. I think I might clench them when I try to navigate in the dreams, that's why I get a painful sensation when I am in the dreams. Every time I have these dreams, I am always in my room, I have never gotten past my room door, It had always been too difficult or I see something unsettling and wake myself up. The realism in them is crazy. Last night I was about to jump down the staircase because I knew it was a dream but I was conscious enough to realize that what if I am sleep walking, that I would really hurt myself. I also realized that I had the realization that I could hurt myself. That is how vivid it was. What do you guys think?

Welcome and congratulations, it sounds like you are describing a classic out of body experience (OBE), and not a dream.
I'm not sure why your teeth are hurting, but I find that sometimes in my normal, unconscious dreams some of my teeth are loose and falling out as if I were losing my baby teeth. The feeling is exactly like it was in real life when they fell out. And sometimes it can be "painfull" in the dream. It is a very good sign post for me that I am dreaming because it happens so often that I can remember that it's a dream. And from there I can turn the dream into an OBE

What do you guys think?

You projected.  This wasn't a dream... this was a fully aware projection.

But then, a "dream" is really only a "non"-fully aware projection.  Understand? 

Just keep doing what you're doing.  You're projecting just fine.

Why does it happen so often? Is it because of enlightenment?

Could be part of your quality of consciousness... I honestly don't know you well enough to know one way or the other.  But it could be.

It could also be that great thing called... "sh*t happens".

Enlightenment and Astral Projecting are two different things.
Astral Projecting is being aware in the non-physical realm.
See AP'ing as a path to enlightenment. It gives you tools so you can really see out there.
Being enlightened is seeing the truth, your truth. Understanding every part as if all your questions were answered.
You are no longer searching, and you know you are on the right path, and that your spirit will live even after you die.
You faced your fears and you have that constant connection with God or the source.
After being enlightened you see all the signs you didn't. You feel the vibrations as if it was natural.
You know when someone enlightened is close to you. Basically you read the vibrations.

You are on the right path to enlightenment , let the answers come naturally.
As long as you believe there's something out there and you keep meditating/AP'ing, all you need to know will get answered.
Read some stuff on enlightenment it will help you understand what's ahead.

Yes I know, I was just seeing if I could get some opinions and if anybody might be having same type of astral projections. The way I was raised is with love and peace, therefore I am very aware of how the world might work. I always research enlightenment because my ego wants to know if I am the so called enlightened, yet the only way I know for a fact that I am is by how I feel and how things just click together and make sense.

We are souls or microscopic pieces of god/creator that are experiencing this 3rd dimensional planet in this flesh vehicle we call our bodies. Our life is prearranged before incarnating so you know what will happen to you before you become a human being and forget, except how you choose to deal with every occurrence due to free will we have as humans. Everything happening right now is a form of a lesson for your soul and how you choose to perceive it. Once we realize all the bad things that are happening right now and in so called "history" is due to our own stupidity and ignorance thanks to media, government and other factors pushing us farther away from who we truly are we can be set free. These days people don't really care or know about what is really going on with the world since they are too focused on making "ends meet" and distracted. We also need to realize that everything that happens is part of the experience that you, yourself, chose in life. You CAN be happy. Live life in peace, love and appreciation and we will start understanding everything thanks to your intuition and our higher self. Until then, we are bound to your ego which causes all of these problems. Everything good can only happen to you only when you understand what life really is. There is no death.

To answer your first question, Yes.
When you are starting to be good at Astral Projecting, they last longer, and they are more vivid. Don't worry that you are living this experience in the Physical Realm, you are in sleep paralysis.
If you've had sleepwalking before, I'm not sure if it could affect your AP tho. I'd double check and there is the reality checks also.
When you AP and you feel like it looks too much real, check your surroundings, there's always a variation between reality and NP.
When you realize you're still AP'ing then you can return to your experience.
It's important to double check to remove all doubts.

Now... I know this world can be quite frustrating with all the stuff that happens everywhere on the planet, war, politics, economy, technology, etc., and it's sad that most people are stuck in this circle of financial problems, and every problems someone can get while living as a modern man. Always needing to have the latest gadgets and everything. They want a happy materialistic life, everything is wrong about that. True happiness is never found in a big house and a huge family as long as that person doesn't realize the truth it will be Satisfaction instead of Happiness. Even if they try to fill those holes, the biggest one which is spiritual enlightenment will always be there. As long as you don't understand it.
People are scared of the spirituality, as soon as you talk about ghosts to them their hair stand on end.
You can't save everybody, some people are not ready for it.
You can save yourself tho... Which is already one person.
Succeeding in something bigger than the physical realm goes beyond the physical realm.
If you succeed your spiritual enlightenment you will feel success beyond death.

I can't explain further than this. I feel like I'm repeating myself.
Like Szaxx says... There's far more than where the eye's can't see.
