Did i astral project travel through using affirmations??

[blidge]

Hi all Friday evening i went to bed after having my usual glasses of wine for a Friday night and as always (well lately) i have been trying to have an ootbe, astral experience etc and not really having loads of success. I've had many lucid dreams over the years and experiences that i later put down to dreams where i thought i was having an ootb, i.e. walking through walls, doors, flying like a bird while lucid you get the idea. But the last two nights have been very interesting for me.

I have an aid to help me project and give me lucid dreams, an amethyst crystal that i have beside my bed, this as always helped in my dream cycles and i think to project.

Anyway Friday night went to bed, woke up after about 3 or 4 hours, got up stayed awake for a while and then went back to sleep. Each time i went to bed i used an affirmation saying to myself repeatedly until i fell asleep," i'm going to have an ootb experience". Well after the second time i fell asleep later in the sleep cycle I'd woken up again turned over onto my front and fell back off, then i felt my legs raising up as i lay flat on my front, this happening while i was conscious but very relaxed. There was no vibrations but what i did notice was that i could hear my breathing which was very heavy and loud. Not only that i felt as if my breathing was restricted, i couldn't breath properly. So not wanting to move but feeling very uncomfortable i opened my mouth a little and as soon as i did that the feeling rather my astral legs just lowered and that was that.

But fear not there is more to come.

Saturday night after having a few drinks, again i went to bed. Again woke up a few times and went back to sleep using the same affirmation,"i'm going to have an ootb experience". Laying on my left side with my arm hanging out of the bed i felt as if some one or something was tapping my head at the back and getting progressively harder as if something wanted to get out, or in and hearing an helicopter or drilling sound which was getting louder and louder until it eventually stopped.

I remember thinking as this was happening i can cope with this loud sound as a sign i am about to have an or have the chance of having an ootbe than the vibrations which always freak me out. Next thing I'm looking at my arm but my focus wasn't the same and wanted to get out of bed but conscious of not moving my physical body so i climb out of bed and then realise that i didn't move the covers, this to me is good news cause i now know i am having an ootb seemingly in the rtz!

I now walk to my bedroom door looking at the room as i move and noticing that it seems the same but a little blurry and just walk through the door which was half open, but i also notice that the ground that i'm walking on seems very spongy. I go to the end of my hallway and levitate down stairs feeling extremely chuffed with myself. At the end of my stairs is a wall to my driveway so i decide to walk through it but as i do i get stuck and then need to force myself though the wall, this i do and walk into a brightly lit orange room. (This isn't in my house and am thinking could this be a dream as i type away)!!

I think to myself full awareness now full awareness now and as i say this nothing really happens apart from some people arrive from no where and then i start to talk to a child who i think i know. I ask him how do you get around? meaning how do you travel in the astral plane? he said to me i just go or move or words to that effect. And then he said to me, "don't try the rig" i have no clue what that means so i ask him what he means, he gives me no response i ask again and a man near by says he can't hear you, so i ask again and still no response. At this point i lose lucidity and end up soon waking up.

Now, what was that about? two nights running i use the same affirmation and get results as above. Will use the same technique again tonight and every night, i just wish now i had turned around when i was in my bedroom when i was walking to the door to look at myself sleeping. Your thoughts please.

Thanks for sharing, I use affirmations as well but for during the day and they can be very powerful.  I have not used them for having an AP but I will start, hopefully I get results soon.

Hi thanks for sharing that. Only yesterday I had put in my journal that I must try affirmations of the long list of triggers that I have noticed in my dreams. Reading your experience has confirmed my resolve,
