Be aware, this is an unconscious opposition. Also, don't let yourself to be angry on yourself. Have a laugh on yourself.

Not by all means. More close you are to the RTZ the more darker will be, although this darkness will diminish if you want to. If you are looking for landcapes bathing in light, you will find them.

quote:My concern is that at night, my room is like really dark, and if i maage to seperate, i wonder if im gonna be able to see anything???

Why are you sleeping in darkness? It will cause fears and make your attempts more difficult.

I hope it helped a little.

I always sleep in the dark! Dont you? Im not frightened of it, just concerned that if i do project, il miss the experience as its dark. Is it just a case of "willing" vision in the dark?

Thanks for replying

If I try to project at night I always use some light. It's a good feeling to know that when I open my eyes I will see. Also, it is more easy to believe that I can see through my closed eyes when I have some light on.

Darkness can hinder your progress even if you think you have no fear of it. Fear comes forth when you are at the verge of an OBE. In the interim it weakens your intent from the background.

If there is anything I can do to make me more confortable before a projection, then I should do that. Otherwise I don't even need to try as I have not enough intent to power my efforts.

The other morning, my alarm went off for work, and i turned it off and thought to myself "just another 5minutes" (you know how it is). Anyways, i drifted back off to sleep and had a short dream, and then woke up. I had sleep paralysis, and i thought, this is the perfect condition for projecting. But for some stupid reason, i said to myself that i better not try to project, or i might fall asleep and be late for work!!!!
Stupid, stupid, stupid. Looking back in hindsight, i should have tried as it wouldve been my 1st time and i woulda probabaly got pulled back into my physical rather pronto! However, this has raised my confidence and i cant wait to get SP again so i can have another go. This time i dont care if im gonna be late for work. LOL.

Going off the subject slightly, this question is aimed at regular projectors. If you project at night, i take it it is also night in the astral. My concern is that at night, my room is like really dark, and if i maage to seperate, i wonder if im gonna be able to see anything??? :-Thanks for reading.
