Astral Projection. Really long but worth reading, adressed t
Question Posted Wednesday October 18 2006, 6:47 am
I dont really want to believe to that thing, but I cant help it due to things that have happened to me. Once I had this dream I just could not wake up from. The dream just kept on going on and on, and it was not a good one either. I knew it was a dream, I knew who I was and I was wondering to myself, what, am I doing here. This is not real then why the fuck cant I wake up.
Anyways, after a while I did wake up. drunk some water got back to bed. Only then, everytime I fell asleep, I got the worst feeling one could ever get.
There I was, trying to fall asleep, when everything around me started colliding, like not just the walls around me, but the hole universe was being destroyed into atoms, as if I was waking up from the Matrix or something. I had no control of my body at that time. Took me a couple of seconds till I obtain control again. It just kept on for the hole night and everytime I did, I just tried to move my fingers. After a while, I could.
Next day I asked not only one but two doctors and none of them new anything about it.I was very concerned about it and I thought I was having some kind of epilepsy seizure during night. Everything turned out normal according to the doctors. Told me that I was nervous or something so they both send me home.
I cant remembered how many times it happend after but then I found this guy who told me about astral projection. I almost cried as he was mentioning all of the effects and symptoms and he informed me that people who have mastered this skillas he called it, can do many things such as see pictures from far far away. Especially when he told me the soul leaves the body part, I totally freaked out. I really did not want it to happen again, only months later, it did. I kind of wanted it to happen, but everytime it started, it scared me and of course I tried to move my finger.
After, a couple of weird stuff started to happen. I had this dream where I was rotaing above my couch for a long long time, above the ground. Dont know, might be a dream, might not, I might be crazy I might be lying I dont want to argue for that. Anyways, if it was a dream, what stupid dream that was. I was there for hours goind in circles I could not control, untill I finally open my eyes and faced my pillow. Anyways, the point is that the hole vibrating, electricity effect did not happen.
This other time, I tried to fall asleep and it started happening. For once I did not care. I was not scared, and while it was happening I though that, now it is time for me to do it, if it can be done. So, how do I travel through real space as a soul, how do I remember them when I wake up, I mean the soul has a different perception from the brain, it uses no eyes, no ears no touch. Suddenly I started thinking of al this stuff while it was there happening. I really did feel like I made a thoudand thoughs in a second, I felt lucid and smart and then decided to go see that friend of mine and then it happened. There I was looking at him from above, he was all dressed up in green, studying, he was bold and I hadn t seen him for a long time. Not really long time, but when I met him he had hair. I woke up.
Later that night I called him and we hanged out. I told him I saw him at the morning. He asked me if I passed by his university where he studies and I told him, well...short of. He WAS bold by the way. And he did admit he was all dressed up in green.
After that I had a couple of really crazy experiences but know it does not happen anymore. I dont really care, I tried to for a while, not really that hard but anyways. I need to ask
Do you people believe in Astral Projection? Can you share any experiences? It does not come against Christianity since Christian religion believes in the existance of soul. I really feel that there is something that I have to do but I just cant remember, do you believe you can communicate with the dead? From what I understand in the movie Butterfly effect with Ashton Cutcher, he could travel through times. Others believe that you can do pretty much anything you want, even be at multiple places at the same time or even be everywhere at the same time, something like god.
I believe that everyone experiences that Astral projection, but few remember since when you wake up in your brain it is hard to translate you soul senses in your brain senses. I believe in spirit-brain way of though, soul-cant define it and body-mostly used. You got 2 types of dreams, brain dreams and soul dreams. Brain dreams are illusion that occur while the brain is shutting off. Soul dreams are what the brain remembers from its lets say adventures in the ...universe or....whatever.
Is this dangerous? Lets say, you might meet other creatures there besides human beings and iguanas travelling through the...universe, whatever...Lets say that maybe, something else might take your place in your body, like a dead person or something even worst.
I never slept over than 7 hours during at night except sometimes, I always remembered my dreams, dreams so long you will not believe them, I have a great memory, I really remember stuff you would not believe me if I told you how far my memory goes and I am not crazy, I know how to distinguish when my mind is fooling me or plays tricks on me. I never was the type of guy who chases the paranormal and I dont believe in many stuff. This just happened and it really is a life changing experience. I do feel as a differnet person after that.
My mother was about to have an operation once. HER mother was passed away long time ago before my mother needed to go in the hospital for some surgery. A couple of night ago while she was sleeping she had this dreamwhere she was in the surgery with all this people around and there was her mother smileying at her. When she did go there in real life, the room was exactly the same, and the doctors to. She knew the doctor who would operate on her but she did not know all of the people that were going to be in the room, and she had seen them before in her dream. It was as if her mother was telling her, that she still exists somewhere.

I can't offer an explanation, but I believe that we are all connected with the universe and one another on some unseen level. Religion is the human attempt to explain and trivialize the unexplainable with limited rational. Power exists beyond our reason and understanding and for some reason we are allowed insights at moments in our life that are personal gifts from this universal unseen power. You can call it whatever you wish, but it is beyond our definitions. Accept the gifts when they come and take them for what they are. [ BitsandPieces's advice column | Ask BitsandPieces A Question ]

I have suffered from sleep paralysis, and I also experience very intense dreams. Like you I have had some dreams which presented some rather frightening coincidences that still seem to this day, a bit supernatural. But no, I don’t believe in Astral Projection or in any form of sixth sense. Our minds are powerful and mysterious things and the world is a much grander place then we give it credit for. It might sound weak, but that explanation is enough for me.
You might look into learning to be a lucid dreamer; much of what you have said makes me believe that you have some natural skill for it and learning how to control your dreams will help you avoid the more uncomfortable or frightening aspects of sleep. (Read about lucid dreaming here: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location))
To avoid the unpleasantness of these dreams in an even easier way though if you sleep on your back, stop. Try to sleep on your front or your side and you’ll find the incidents of uncomfortable powerful dreams decrease drastically.
I know I just gave you a good bit of reading to do and I hope you’ll look at those articles seriously and with an open mind. If you want to speak to me anymore, my contact information is in my profile.

Obviously, you're having some fairly heavy experiences, but it could very well all be in your mind. The brain is an enormously complex thing, and we can't expect it to always work a certain way. Recently, it has been shown that doctors can actually induce out-of-body experiences in perfectly healthy people by stimulating certain areas of the brain; it causes a disconnect sensation with one's own body, and the cause is simply a confusion in that part of the brain that determines that sense of self (known as "proprioception").
Your brain is apparently an unusual one. You have vivid dreams, extraordinary capacity for memory, and who knows what else. What you must learn to do is to take control of these abilities so that you master them, and not the other way around.
I notice that you say that you can tell when your mind is playing tricks on you. Forgive me for being blunt, but: No, you can't. By definition, the only way you would be able to tell is by using your mind, and if it is your mind that is thrown off, you won't always be able to distinguish fantasy from reality. It's kind of like saying that you can tell how long a line is by measuring with the same ruler you used to draw it with - if the ruler is marked wrong, you won't be able to tell.
There are many things we cannot explain. The brain still has a lot of secrets. Yours seems to be an extraordinary mind, but to assume the existence of inexplicable supernatural forces probably won't get you any closer to understanding it. [ Xenolan's advice column | Ask Xenolan A Question ]
