Hey i just registered to this site so hola everyone lol, but this topic of discusion is the main reason i applied. Ive been trying to AP since i was 13, im 18 now and have had very little success and honestly im getting kinda discouraged
. I get to the part where my body is relaxed but my brain is shooting in 50 different directions and i dont know how to settle...i try so hard to stop it but i cant, it even keeps me up late at night sometimes because its constantly chattering and if its not about anything special it will just play random songs in my head...then i try and stop it and it fights back and gets louder until i cant even hear myself think anymore, does anyone know any ways of stopping this? Although i have had semi experiences before and all of them was when i wasnt even trying to do it...which kinda ticks me off..like today i had an experience which actually i would like to ask if it was A/P or a Lucid Dream....Ok well this is what happened...i woke up early this morning, its my day off so i just do the normal eat breakfast blah blah you know...and around 11:30 i crash out and take a nap...well i had a dream there was a plastic toy house on my street and for some reason or another my head was stuck in it..( Im blonde, could be why!) but it was like watching a movie i had no control over that segment of the dream...well anyways i got myself out somehow and walked back to my house and when i reached for the door knob i caught myself and thought wait a sec...i was just sleeping...either im dreaming or im getting a huge law suit on mcdonalds for drugging me during breakfast...so i put it to the test because now i had control...i put my hand on the door and felt it there, then pushed onward and walked through it...so i thought finally! but i kept my excitement lvl down so i wouldnt end the experience. So now im walking around my house enjoying the fact that i can walk through walls and what not...when i thought wait, why walk when i can fly right? so i tried to fly but to no avail, i just dropped back down like i was awake... so i pictured the attic in my house and jumped and found myself in the attic. So i tried to fly again just thinking about flying..but it didnt work i just dropped back onto my feet. So i got kinda mad, then i remember thinking i want to remember all of this..so i thought over and over about what just happened, and then it was fresh like there was no way i could forget..but now as im typing this lol i had to look into my dream diary to tell you all about this...Well here are my questions to anyone who would help me...1.) Ive heard of people being able to actively A/P within 6 months of trying, why has it taken me over 6 yrs to get minimal results? 2.) Does anyone have any tips to settleing your thoughts? 3.) Was the experience i just told you about a projection or a lucid dream? 4.) why couldnt i fly!? lol..if someone can take the time to answer these and help me i would greatly appriciate it...thanks!
