Strange as it seems to me while trying to type this out and think it over while fully awake in the physical world, several times I've had an odd but still positive experience while attempting to consciously astral project. Sometimes as I begin to drift off physically to sleep, while trying hard to stay mentally awake, (and of course at times still getting a bit nervous or fearful yet still determined to stay with it and keep going,) I can hear a telepathic voice speaking to me in my head. It's never anything negative or frightening. The complete opposite is always the case. Clearly it seems an attempt to help just a bit.
Once just a month or so ago, one of my guides, who I've talked with several times, took some time and made some degree of effort to tell me without actual physical words, about our history together as friends. Other times I've heard much less and nothing of any true significance in itself.
Anyone else here ever have such things happen? I've been thinking it over lately and it's made me curious about this in relation to other people's experience with this.
It's called coversing with your own "interface". You have opened a line to your "higher self" :-)
