Hi everyone, I'm a lucid dreamer. I've induced sleep paralysis a few times. I've witnessed the vibrations, falling sensation, loud ringing in my
ears,.. And after the SP wave I usually found myself in my room knowning that I was inside a dream. That's called the WILD technique. I can also
become lucid using the DILD technique which is just doing reality checks throughout the day. But I want something different, I want to astral project
or to have an out of body experience. During sleep paralysis I tried to pull myself out of my body but that never worked. How do you go from Lucid
dreaming to AP/OBE? And what's even the difference between LD/AP/OBE? Because to me a lucid dream is just a dream where you realize you're dreaming.
Astral projection seems so similar to an out of body experience but to me it seems like a sleep paralysis episode (travelling at high speed through
the sky). And an out of body experience is just an obe. I hope this makes sense xD. How do I know the difference between those when I get to leave my
body and how do I do it? I assume reality checks only work in a lucid dream and not in an out of body experience
One more thing. I'm also
afraid of the astral plane. Like meeting evil beings and demons. Is it possible they will haunt me in real life when I've met them in the astral
plane? And How do I keep myself safe?
There are a lot of ways to astral travel, usually when i lucid dream i would start running, or change the surroundings so much and really quickly in
order for me to be literally thrown out of my body into an OBE.
The other thing you can try is right before going to bed, grab a piece of paper with lines on it and write on one side and the other "i am having an
out of body experience" until you fill both sides of the paper, do not do anything else and go to bed right away. This usually takes a couple of
times to work, everyone is different but it worked for me the first time i did it.
Second, when you are in an OBE state, everything should be fuzzy, and you wont be able to see very clearly, ask for clarity, so if you are floating
and what not, just say, and say it STRONG AND LOUD, " I WANT CLARITY" works like a charm.
When you are in an OBE state, never, ever ever think about your self, EVER, you will get pulled back in an instant, and that is one hell of an
experience on it's own.
Lastly, there are NO evil beings on the astral plane, you can create an illusion of them if you are scared or uncomfortable, and if you are, don't do
it, it will only ruin the experience. When you astral travel, you have no physical from even if you might see your hand, nothing can hurt you, and i
mean nothing!!
If you got to the point of vibrations and loud noises which are memory trying to wake you up, concentrate on spreading the vibrations all over your
body first, and remember, you cannot move physically, so you have to get used to thinking about moving, or floating towards the ceiling or what ever
you prefer (i personally like windows, easier to go through, but floating above the streets usually makes me think about my body so i get tugged
back)
Clear you mind of everything, do NOT look at the darkness, that is WRONG. do not LISTEN to you MIND that is also wrong.
anything else, just ask, I am pretty sure i missed quit a bit.
