Feeling Gigantic amidst the massive roaring

[Anton Le Contin]

I have been trying to Astral project for quite awhile now and although I haven't consciously projected, I know that I am so very close.  I am reaching a stage/feeling which I remember I used to experience as a child.  I remember consciously allowing myself to feel this strange phenomena I will now describe.  

I have reached a stage in the past two weeks where I start hearing a massive roaring noise and it's so very loud and I feel absolutely gigantic and it feels like I'm being flung back and forward really fast.  I have been experiencing this the past few nights and it kind of scares me out of it because it feels so overwhelming.  The roar is so loud but not deafening, and I have heard voices in the roar.  The other night I had to stay awake for ages because it wouldn't go away, even when I got up and walked around!  I have also started hearing totally strange noises in this as well like bangs, voices and giggles.  Could these be from the Astral perhaps?

So, what I'd really like to know is; is this roaring, feeling gigantic and being flung about a form of vibration that occurs before/during astral projection?  I'd very much like some sort of confirmation so I can allow myself to go deeper in these feelings, I may just be one step away from projecting.

One last thing, I had over four dreams last night where I woke with a jump.  The one I remember clearest is in the dream where I just noticed I was an astral body doing the rope technique and I looked down at my physical body and was instantaneously 'sucked' back into my body and that's where I woke up with a jump.  This is the best short dream I have had, it was awesome!  Considering I have never bothered trying the rope technique...I may just now, it could have been a sign!

I hope to hear from you soon.

Love and Light
Anton

these are clearly exit sensations. there are amny theories what these symptoms actually are. heres my view: the roaring sound is your blood rushing through the ears. it is very loud becouse you are in trance. the voices and sounds are hypnogogic halluzination. they are normal in the borderline state between awake and asleep because the mind starts to dream. the gigantic feeling is considered the energy body expanding wich also is a trance sensation. the feeling of being flung around is propably the most obvious exit sensation. i think you should try to focus on this feeling since it oculd lead to you being catapulted out of body. good luck

I remember I used to experience as a child.

I have reached a stage in the past two weeks where I start hearing a massive roaring noise and it's so very loud and I feel absolutely gigantic and it feels like I'm being flung back and forward really fast.  I have been experiencing this the past few nights and it kind of scares me out of it because it feels so overwhelming.

This happened to me many times when i was a child - often during a sickness like a flu or a common cold.
It's sound and mass was always very quickly geting louder and expanding to the point of being unbearable and feeling that if don't do something to stop it something really bad would happen.

It's good to know that i'm not the only one.

The roar is so loud but not deafening, and I have heard voices in the roar.

I have also started hearing totally strange noises in this as well like bangs, voices and giggles.  Could these be from the Astral perhaps?

I'm sure that these voices are not from physical plane  

So, what I'd really like to know is; is this roaring, feeling gigantic and being flung about a form of vibration that occurs before/during astral projection?  I'd very much like some sort of confirmation so I can allow myself to go deeper in these feelings

IIRC Bruce Moen [edit: Or was it Monroe ?] wrote about this in his books - he said that it is your consciousness connecting with the whole universe (it is always connected but your mind must be silenced to hear/experience this connection) - you start to hear all thoughts and feel all feelings at the same time that's why it is so overwhelming and sometimes frightening.

I may just be one step away from projecting.

I think it's more like you are already 99% on the other side    :thumbsup:

heres my view: the roaring sound is your blood rushing through the ears. it is very loud becouse you are in trance.

It may be, but in my case it is completely different so i think it must be something else.

I occasionally get the roaring/booming noises in my ear in Sleep-Paralysis. A few days ago, instead of leaving, I actually decided to battle through the vibrations and noise, and see where it would lead me. It was pretty intense, but I was hanging in there. I think I got flung out eventually because for a breif moment, I saw the side of the bed, and the floor right next to me, then all went black again, and then I was standing on the other side of my room, but it did not feel like an OBE at all, so I just ended up concluding that it became a lucid dream.

This almost exactly what i got last night, with the exception of noises out side of the roaring andfeeling gigantic, also did you notice if you had sleep paralysis or not because i never.  :confused: The flung about feeling to me feels like there is two of me (one very close to me almost like a inch to the left and my energy keeps jumping back and forth).
Also you sound like me - not having the confidence to explore further even though you want to??? If you find the courage please let me know

Hi All and thanks lots for your replies!  I'm glad to know that I am not the only one who feels this phenomenon.  

This happened to me many times when i was a child - often during a sickness like a flu or a common cold.
It's sound and mass was always very quickly getting louder and expanding to the point of being unbearable and feeling that if don't do something to stop it something really bad would happen.

Yes exactly!  You are spot on!  I experienced this a lot when I was ill, especially as a child.  Back then I had a lot of flying dreams, and dreams of falling back into my body were a normal occurrence.

This almost exactly what i got last night, with the exception of noises out side of the roaring and feeling gigantic, also did you notice if you had sleep paralysis or not because i never.  The flung about feeling to me feels like there is two of me (one very close to me almost like a inch to the left and my energy keeps jumping back and forth).

That's correct about feeling like theres two of you close together with the energy jumping in between.  No I don't get sleep paralysis at all; when I experience these exit sensations I am still able to move because when I got overwhelmed by the experience I ended up getting out of bed so I could stop the roaring noise.  I do have confidence in achieving astral projection, but a week ago I just moved into an old house by myself which feels haunted and it worries me as to what I'd see there when I astral project...it's lame I know; but once I get used to the house I'll be fine! :redface:  

My desire to astral project is so very strong and it is showing.  I am starting to remember my dreams and they are starting to become lucid.  My body is so used to me meditating and trancing before sleep that when I go to bed, I automatically go into a deep trance without thinking about it.  This is where I've started to get those dreams of falling back into my body, which are happening almost every night.

I can honestly say that practising AP has been a blessing to my sleeping pattern!  I used to sleep so bad like 3-4 hours and now I sleep 9 hours a night thanks to the meditation and trance.

I had the gigantic feeling and the harsh vibrations right before my first OBE. I realized that these sensations excited me and made me brake focus, after i realized this i taught myself to just ignore them and carry on and boom i was out. No matter how weird it feels never feel like it's enough and just ignore it no matter how strong it gets, at one point you might feel like your so so so close you astral vision is even kicking in, but you must totally ignore it. Its a real test of discipline of the mind but damn the reward for such discipline is immense.
