Title: OBE, lucid dream question feeling question?
Post by: PlasmaAstralProjection on December 06, 2010, 23:07:30
When you have a lucid dream or OBE. Are you guided by what you feel to move around? Or do you feel to move around? The former is what seemed to happen to me in a lucid dream last night. I have only had maybe 3 real lucid dreams my whole life. That was probably my longest and one of the most lucid ones. Thanks.

I'll give you an example...

I'm sitting down on some grass in a lucid awareness non-physical experience... I see something shiny on the grass just away from me, "I think I'll walk over there and see what that is".  :)
The illusion is that you move around in much the same way you do now... subconsciously, you mind does everything that's required.  Realistically, you have no legs to move... no muscles in those legs with which to move them... your mind does all the work intrinsically linked to your intent.

Another aspect will be in the same vein as there being no physical matter, that there is no time, so rather than seeing the objest and then thinking go and take a look, you already know what it is.

Your mind is playing out time in the same wa it's playing out movement.

I find myself to be more and more conscious of my intent - it becomes much more than a subconscious experience of will as we're often used to. There tends not to be enough emphasis on concentration and will regarding AP.
