Dreamt I Was Astral Projecting...

[Kishka]

Last night I had a vivid dream that I was astral projecting. I have many astral projection books at home that I have not read. Let me explain.

A friend and I had a plan, a few months back, to start an astral projection meet-up. For various reasons it never came to fruition. He lent me about 10 books on the subject. I leafed through a few but didn't read anything in depth. I told my friend he could pick up the books whenever he wanted, and he seems to have forgotten them for months now...

Seeing the pile of books on a chair did not move me to start the practice on my own. I felt that for some reason my expanded Self did not want me to go in that direction, expecially since the meet-up group plan fell through. Ive been saying for a few months that I want to focus on the 'here and now' and see no point in bothering with astral projection, since its ALL a projection of mind, lol.

So last night I had the most vivid, structured dream of me going through the 'steps' of an astral projection technique. Including laying down, hearing a roaring, feeling swept away into the blue pearl, moving beyond a deep panic, being okay with it, and movie projector images going by in 'space'.

This morning, of course, I quickly went to one of the books, by Robert Monroe, since he is the only astral projector I know anything about. I think someone on this site mentioned him once, and I realized he was the author of one of the books in my 'pile'.

Well, I cracked the book and was startled to see that my detailed dream included all of the steps in Monroe's book. All I can conclude is that it's another creation of my higher Self.

It seems a clear message that it is time for me to pursue astral projection...

Anyone else have revelatory dreams like that?

ETA- during the dream, after astral projecting, I was suddenly able to move objects with my mind, and such. I wonder if this is a foreshadowing of things to come..

I am not sure I had this exact experience but it matches the theme of what I experienced last night

I am not sure what I experienced was a dream, though. I didn't feel like I was asleep really.

Interesting sync, though, your post made me decide to write up my experience too

[Kishka]

WOW! Thanks for mentioning the sync Rei...off to read your thread now...

You're welcome! Thanks for being a very convenient mirror I love it when the mirroring is all organically awesome like this

Telling apart a dream of astral travel and actually astral traveling can be very tricky.

Not directly about your experience, one of the techniques for astral travel is to start from a lucid dream and transition.

[Kishka]

Wstein, yeah it has occured to me that I could have actually been astral traveling. I took the experience more as a clear message to actively pursue this. Thanks!

i am new to all of this and realy know nothing so im not sure, i dream that i am looking at myself asleep in the bed sometimes, looking at my face and examining it. i have also woke unable to move speak scream nothing for several seconds i always see a mass floating above my body. it is very unnerving. i was told by someone a long time ago that it meant that i had left my body and my body was waking before my soul completely entered back in. is this true

[Kishka]

Drgfly Im not sure. Hopefully someone with such experience will respond.

[desertrat]

Drgfly while you are in this dream , see if you can walk around or move. If things feel solid its probly a dream if you can walk through things it mite be a.p.

Close enough. You were most likely experiencing dual consciousness. You were partially in your body, but not all the way.

There is not an extremely defined boundary between dreaming and astral projection. There is just consciousness, and location is a matter of focus. A dream construct is as much a reality as anything else. The physical world is merely another type of dream construct that your consciousness focuses on, albeit one with the configuration of "denseness".

Everything is a dream. Astral projection is just focusing your consciousness to a perspective outside of your physical body's perspective. Sometimes, that involves an aspect of the so called "physical world" or sometimes it involves a so called "astral" or "dream" world.

There are an infinite number of realities, because the imagination is infinite.
