Foundations of Astral Projection for the Curious Traveller

I’m excited to have found this thread. This morning I was finally able to separate from my body for the first time. I’ve been dreaming lucidly for as long as I can remember, and in researching it I discovered the astral projection phenomena. I’ve been on and off attempting it for the past few years, but only recently have I made a serious dedication to success.

I have only been able to reach the vibration state up to this point where my attempts to separate always ended up failing (I got too excited). The last attempt I managed to half way separate, but the tearing sound was so jolting that I panicked. This morning though was so much easier. It still took me a few tries, but now that I knew what to expect I was able to stay calm and roll right out of my body. Let me tell you, standing over the bed and staring down a my own physical body was one of the most incredible experiences.

The first thing i did was a reality check: looking at my digital clock on my bedside table, and then I wandered around the upstairs of my house, listening to the people waking up on the floor beneath me, pondering whether or not I should go down there and snoop around :) Then, I believe I ended up falling off to sleep, because while I stayed lucid and believed myself to still be projecting, there were certain things that were signs that I was dreaming: mainly, I also believed that my significant other and my best friend were ALSO projecting with me and we were exploring to this ridiculous future diesel/steam punk alien world together.

And yet, perhaps I was unintentionally still projecting as I encountered a being who seemed very much interested in me but set off a bunch of red flags. I’ve become very adept at lucid dreaming to the point where I’ve come to enjoy my nightmares as much as my flying dreams but this guy gave me legitimate creepy crawlies. He was very interested in who I was / where I came from, and having been warned of creatures like him I had a persona and story at the ready (a super awesome inter-dimensional dream pilot, fuck yeah). I remember looking into his eyes and seeing the sentience- he was definitely NOT a dream apparition. Pretty amazing, really.

Anyways, a bizarre side-note: I kept brushing my hair out of my left eye the entire trip and when I awoke I realized I’d passed out on my side with half my face smushed into another pillow, thus blocking out the vision of my left eye. Not sure if this were coincidence or what… Also, the creepy guy had AWFUL breath.

I had my first astral projection experience last night. It was pretty amazing even though it didnt last very long. The bright light and the humming sound were so overwhelming. I felt like there was a gigantic big screen tv right over my head playing multiple tv channels at once. Like that sound when a room full of people are all talking at the same time.

I was so overwhelmed & amazed that I guess I got snapped back into my body. I remember thinking “I finally did it!” haha. The only bad part was that once I got snapped back into my body, I went into a brief state on sleep paralysis. I was back in my bed but couldnt move at all or felt like I was moving in extremely slow motion. Once I realized I was in sleep paralysis, I heard this loud snarl sound & seen this dog like creature above me. It didnt frighten me one bit because I have read numerous accounts of people seeing scary things during sleep paralysis. So I knew this was normal. I just willed myself to close my eyes and fully wake up.

@krkrich, Dude I had the exact same thing happen to me a couple of weeks ago. It only happened maybe 5/6 times over the course of a few days after an astral experience. It’s only for a split second and all I can see is white light.

I have no idea what it could be though, just that it happened to me too :)

@krkrich, Aw who knows what it is. I’m gonna just keep having a mini rave every time it happens :D

Does anyone have any advice on how to ignore all those loud voices right before you separate? Its like right at the end of that vibration stage, when I feel myself separating, I always start to hear all these loud voices, like from a tv. Its like putting on headphones and hearing a different song, or a couple different songs in each ear at the same time.if that makes sense. It always distracts me because its so much chatter all at once and I can never hear what is being said because I’m hearing multiple things in both ears. Is this like my ego’s last defense in stopping me from astral projecting? lol

@hlalhabattu, thanks man. I just want you to know your advice has been better than any other resource I have come across on the internet.

Do you have any idea what exactly those voices are? And why do mine always sound like news reporters? lol.
