astral project

i had a boyfriend who was not any kind of new age guy or anything, and he was able to do this! i was so fascinated, we would take naps side by side and he would try and ‘pull’ me along with him for traveling adventures. it never worked. only recently have i been able to successfully lucid dream. all that i have read about preparing to have an obe (out of body experience, or astral traveling) i think i’m close. i am alert enough to feel my muscles become ‘paralyzed’ and i feel this electric buzz all around me, but then i fall asleep or else i just… don’t.

Astral Projection is being able to leave your body in a spirit form but you arent dying. You can return anytime

I remember about a month ago I had a dream within a dream, and I was jumping off something. As I pushed upwards to fly I was suddenely in my bedroom, floating upwards towards the ceiling. I had only been trying to project for a couple of weeks, so I was really excited.
I’m not sure If it was the real thing though, coz some people have told me I was dreaming it.
So yeah anyway I’m going to try again. I remember the sensation of the vibrations ‘washing’ over my body just before I started floating.
I must admit I didn’t really expect it to actually happen, like I thought it would only happened to someone who is deeply spiritual or religious. But after this experience I know that I can do it again (hopefully) and other people can do it too.
I tried today but I fell asleep, I’m going to meditate to try and gain control of my relaxation and trying not to fall asleep while attempting to project.

would like to astral travel have tryed 3 times cant get any sign of getting any closer to goal

This was in my dream (16-17/09/2007).
‘Went’ inside & was ‘looking’ a hotel in Blackpool, it caught fire, wasn’t a huge fire but large enough do do some damage, I mainly just saw smoke, I was watching from like up high like floating on the ceiling. When I woke up I remmebered everything as clearly as consciousness. Wasn’t sure if anyone was injured or anything in the dream, but still quite freaked out by the dream, never had anything like it before.

Next morning news: Hotel in Blackpool along the sea front caught fire. One man dies, 5 injured.

I was actually uber freaked out, & I also know how lame & made up that may sound, but yeh its true…

This is what Atral Projecting/Dreaming is right? I’m not sure TBH.
I also had another freaky dream, scariest night of my life, Involved flitting in & out of this dead guys mind (he was extremly angry, like anger i’ve never even been close to before, breaking point anger), he was stabbed & I saw his death, again it was as clear as consciousness, last thing I remeber before I woke up extremly dizzy, shaken & physically & mentally weak was looking down to my body (though it wasnt mine) was a large stab wound & blood spreading across my abdomen.
Could have sworn I saw an orb fly across my room when I woke, i’d never seen one before then but i’ve read descriptions & stuff. Didn’t sleep after that had the light on all night
(I’m so brave…)

Haven’t had anything like those two since though, but seriously yeh I was scared but it was an awesome experience. TBH I still get shakey talking about it lol, no idea how or why it happened, some people may not think this was anything, but I know what it was really really like & what ever you want to call it they wern’t normal (or even my) dreams.

Oh yehh I’ve never been to Blackpool or ever lived anywhere remotely near there so yeh its not like I walk past that hotel every other day (:.

there is a lot of information on how to do this on the web, i have tried it a couple of times but i keep falling asleep, i am not sure if i believe this is possible because if it is possible wouldn’t everyone be doing it. i will keep trying anyway i think i just need a bit more will power to keep my conscious awake while the rest of me sleapes

I have known of Astral Projection for 2 years, but I have not had an experience though trying for a long time to.
Then last night that all changed, I was very tired my cat was lying on my stomach looking at me as if he ‘knew’ something would happen.
After about 20 minutes of meditating and getting myself into a deep stage of relaxation I very quickly became heavy, at first I thought it was sleep paralysis, so I attempted to get up but my cat was still sleeping on my stomach, I arose and began to move around the room.
I thought I was walking But I was Projecting!!!
It was a very brief experience as I was not ready for it at the time, As I began to come back into my body I felt my cat still lying on my stomach which was to me the proof that it wasn’t a dream!
Try it it truly is amazing, at first scary though.

I’m trying, but having some technical difficulties…lying in my bed for too long makes me dizzy and light-headed, which is why I have a tough time doing meditation or self hypnosis, too. But I would really like to experience this, for entertainment, a different experience and maybe understanding a little more about psychology, other people, if there really is an astral plane, the universe, etc.

Just stay out of my way. ^_

I started meditating a couple of years ago before i ever even thought about meditation, and I tried every type of meditation you can think of. silva esp system, nlp hypnosis, holosync, and many others. I have so far have had a couple of succesful O.B.E.’s but I have not been able to produce them by will. there was a time in that process that i could get the vibrations every night, but i would get up because I thought somebody was shaking my bed! The most amazing thing was when i was hearing holosync and I saw a golden light being appear in my bedroom. I don’t know who or what it was, but i think it was my spirit guide or somebody. The point is there are many ways to induce astral travel. I’m just trying to learn it by will. I hope this helps.
p.s. I read in a lot of places the way to get out of your body is to stay aware and awake in the threshold between the time you fall asleep and the time before you just wake up. Thats when your most lucid to wake up out of a lucid dream and appear in your astral body. good luck to everybody and congratulations to everybody that has succeeded. peace and love.
