Wow it's been 3 years since i've experienced astral projection!

Hello everybody, it's so good to be back on this wonderful forum.  I am troubled and I'm seeking some guidance.  I have not astral projected in 3 years.  It's really frustrating because by far it was one of the most exciting things I have ever experienced!  I think the leading cause for my projection drought is my job.  I work graveyard and I don't think I have established a true sleeping schedule.  When I meditate during the day I fall asleep.  When I attempt to project... I fall asleep. Can anyone help?  There has been times where I have gotten close to vibrations but they don't last and before I know it, I'm asleep.  So I'm all ears for you fortunate projectors out there

I feel for you because three years is a long time not to ap.  I get frustrated when I do not ap in a few weeks.  Have you tried not to ap in bed.  I used to be able to ap in bed a lot once  but now I just fall asleep.  The easiest way to ap is to get some sleep, otherwise you are fighting to try to stay awake.  It is no good trying to do that.  After you had some sleep, try going to another place, not your bed and ap.  Do not worry if you fall asleep, give it time.

We have to accept if we fall asleep, we fall asleep.  When you wake up you can try to ap again.  That is what I do.  If you feel really tired then you have a high chance of falling asleep.  It happens to me.  You can get up and make yourself a cup of tea or whatever, go for a walk even if it is inside the house until you feel you are not tired.  Then you can try to ap again.  The more times you will try, the more you will likely succeed.

One more thing to say.  It is extremely important you concentrate and take notice of any ap signs.  If you lose concentration for one moment you can fall into a dream.  Sometimes I do not get ap sensations and other times I do.  I know when my mind feels more relaxed than normal I mostly ap instantly somewhere.  If I do not notice it I fall asleep.  You have to keep focused, otherwise you will fall asleep every time.  I would not try to ap when you are feeling tired as you will have a high chance of falling asleep.

In the morning I made an effort to ap but I did not ap.  It is a bit disappointing when that happens.  I was not taking any notice of how my mind and body was feeling.  I missed the sensations and I fell asleep.  I forgot about it.  Oh well, I will try again tomorrow morning.

Just knowing that you project each and every night of your life (people call it "dreaming" ) is more than plenty for me.  LoL

An idea just came to me.  Do not make yourself too comfortable.  If you are too comfortable you tend to fall asleep.  That is why people suggest to sit up.  I find it hard to sit for a long time.  Tonight I am going to lie on a hard floor.  That should help to stay awake.  It will not feel comfortable but you do not focus on being uncomfortable.  If you put your mind above it and concentrate on relaxing yourself, it will work.
