Astral Projection

[Pokerman13]

I would like to share my first astral projection experience that happened to me recently and maybe get some tips on how to do it again and have more control.

I am definitely new to this world view and only recently started looking at everything with a open mind and really have any sort of understanding to the spiritual experiences i have had and felt.

Since as far as i can remember i have had lucid flying dreams where i have became conscious but not had to much control and just kind of went for the ride. I had brought these experiences up with people through out my life but it usually just ended with “wow thats cool” and they might relate with a similar experience but then it would just end at that. It was only recently that i brought my experiences up with someone that has done a little more research on the subject and he gave me a book to read. I will be honest i have only read the first chapter so far and went through a few of the other chapters but it was very interesting!(ya ya i will finish the book i am not a big reader i am trying my best!) One thing i found interesting was the book said that just the intent to try and astral project or lucid dream can cause it to happen and it did! I figure this will be enough background for my story so i will get on with it.

I tend to pull long sessions of work sometimes and i had been up for a lot of hours over a few day period. I had just ate a huge spaghetti meal and i was getting pretty tired so i went to lie down on my bed, i was feeling very relaxed and i was just lying on my bed. I cant really remember what i was thinking about but i was very comfortable and was probably minutes if not seconds from falling asleep.
Then next think i know I'm floating through my apartment twords the front door . I was definitely conscious, everything was kind of hazy but it was definitely my apartment. When i reached the front door i noticed the door was unlocked. Me and my bro always keep the door locked so instantly i had the intent to reach out my hand and lock the door. As my hand would of reached the lock and turned it the lock snapped to the lock position the weird thing is i never saw a hand or anything but it seemed to line up with my thought to reach out my hand and lock the door. Instantly after that i got sucked straight backwards flying through my apartment i went through the glass sliding door to my balcony i was moving at a decent pace i felt something for sure as i passed through the door but i cant quite place the feeling that i had but it was strange. I am 3 floors up on the top floor i went out over the edge of my balcony still flying backwards and went twords the ground. I started to get freaked out this was definitely more then i expected from my first experience and i thought i was going to keep flying down and go into the earth or something it was all happening so fast i was probably 10 feet from the ground flying backwards still and i got scared and aborted. I remember from my flying dreams way back that i could get out of the dream if i really wanted to it would only take a second followed by a second of body paralysis but then i would be awake and it would be over. Well i aborted and i wish i didn't! I should of kept going with it but honestly it was more then i expected.

I have tried on a few occasions since then to do it but i usually just pass out. I did wake induce a lucid dream where i went into a basement (i didn't recognize it) but when i floated around a bit i tried to pass through the floor above me but i just heard a girl screaming in the distance and then i woke up. The screaming was in my head I'm pretty sure cause i didn't hear anything after i was awake.

This all is very interesting to me and i would like to learn more if anyone has any tips or info it would be greatly appreciated.
