Lucid Dream – Drifting Towards the Light

November 22nd, 2009

It’s been a while since I’ve written because I have had zero lucid dreams or astral projection type experiences lately. I am very serious about recording only true experiences objectively. Meaning that I must have waking consciousness while my body sleeps for it to qualify for an entry on here and I must describe only what I experienced without filling in the gaps. Most of the time when I perceive myself as being “out of body” I can recall my name, address or any “waking” thoughts and I know that I’m asleep. Many times I can look at myself sleeping in bed and then move around in what appears to be my house. None of this means that I am actually “out of body” and at this point I have no evidence to draw any definitive conclusions. More validation will be required to truly understand what’s going on. I will continue to call them “out of bod experiences” until my perception suggests otherwise.

I would like to point out my observation that being objective doesn’t necessarily have to mean being actively connected and receiving input from the five waking senses.  I apologize for the lack of a reference but I have read that the waking mind and the five senses can only process a small percentage of the information that’s actually hitting the senses and being sent to the brain at any given moment.  It’s my current belief that while a person is having an “out of body experience” they are not using the five senses and instead they are using a direct type of input, bypassing the senses. I would not then conclude that this type of experience would be any less objective than a waking experience, especially considering that fact that in these out of body states I have access to all waking memories and functions, even if the direct input is mimicking the five senses. Let us not be tricked into assuming that such altered states of conscious are any less real or objective than waking consciousness.

Last night the dream setting was my childhood elementary school O.L.P.H in Chattanooga TN and to expand on this many of my dreams take place at this school. Perhaps this is because I spent 8+ years of my childhood there.

I was riding a bike to some meeting at the church. I remember riding a BMX type bike up the sidewalk northbound on Moore Rd. between Delaware Dr. and the school. There was a fluctuation in the dream or a lapse in my memory because I don’t actually remember going to the meeting or locking the bike up. Not surprisingly, after the meeting I could not find the bike.

I began to question why I didn’t remember putting the bike away or going to the meeting and this missing time triggered my awareness of being in a dream. Immediately I felt a buzzing sensation throughout my body and I suddenly had full waking consciousness within my dream.

I was walking down the sidewalk that leads to the 5th and 6th grade building (at least it was when I went to school there) and I made a conscious effort to fly. I effortlessly rose to an altitude of 100 – 200 feet and noticed that everything had become foggy around me and that to the south and off into the distance there was a bright light that was cutting though the fog.

I was already slightly drifting towards the light but I made a conscious effort to move quicker but the harder I tried the move the more my dream faded until it was gone.

I have noticed that in lucid dreams, trying to take over my dreams seem to always end the dream.  It seems that the part of the brain that’s responsible for creating the dream rapidly deteriorates once I become lucid and specifically try to explore.

I think that next time I become lucid I may try to be more passive while holding on to my waking awareness and see what unfolds. Another possiblitiy would be to simply request a transition into the out of body state. Normally when I request to be out of body the dream ends and I find myself in my bed experiencing strong exit sensations at which time I can simply step out of bed and explore around the house.

An Hours Worth of Continuous Astral Projections

November 5th, 2009

Firstly I want to again thank David for helping on this quest as I do not know if I would be projecting already if not for joining the malleable light :)  I’ve had a few minor events lately but nothing worth of mention till now..

An hours worth of continuous projections you ask? I think I did experience this, and I’ll tell you why later. I believe I could have probably kept going longer if not for needing to remember the experience and therefore choosing to wake up before projecting when close to awake at the last stage.

This is not all fun and was a little scary at a few points but I survived and learned much about controlling the experience and how to switch environments when in a projection!!

Firstly how this occurred.. I have finished most of my university degree, only a few weeks clinic and a few weeks external hours left.. My Mrs and I decided it was time to eliminate our 6 1/2 months child’s nighttime breastfeed.. Other than she’s old enough to not need it, it’s just making us – particularly my Mrs too tired as there may be more than one feed… Anyway.. tonight/this morning was the first day we eliminated the feed.. so my Mrs tried to put her to sleep when she woke around 3am, then me, then both of us (while we chatted with the light on) then the Mrs again. After about 1 1/2hrs (she’s quite stubborn) she fell asleep then us.. basically we were up for quite a while, which I believe helped bring on this experience.

It felt like moments.. soon after laying down (though I must have been asleep so can’t be sure – but) after what felt like a continuous stream of consciousness – I began to feel vibrations then felt and heard my ears popping (which I’d never experienced before).. I knew what was happening so went with it.. My astral body almost moved itself out of my physical – I didn’t even have to try – I just went with it. The aim was to roll out of bed, out and onto the floor…

When I landed on the floor I couldn’t move – the room was dark and my vision poor – Then I could feel someone on top of me. “Great!” I thought as I thought it may be my Mrs. on top of me and she was in the mood for some astral sex – i like that!  :-D

I still couldn’t see well and aimed for some more vision.. I could see as if through a small slit – it could be my Mrs. but not sure.. Then my mind questioned “What if it is not my Mrs. and its something more sinister?”… I had some minor fear… I asked to see who it REALLY was… I was now enjoying the experience less as not only could I NOT MOVE.. it may not really be my Mrs. on top of me!!

I wondered about dark entities I had read about and wondered if when I looked that I would see a vampire or similar just about to bite down on my neck instead of my Mrs..

When I got more clarity it was still dark (it was mid-morning) and who I saw was the Gene Simmons character from the 70′s band KISS though with a tiny body and big (but not full sized, head). After just now looking on the net it shows that his character was “the demon” so not sure what that says… anyway I started to feel fear again but instead of panicking I thought “I do not want this to be happening” and tried my best to send this being some love and light and I was free!!

The scene changed and I felt like I was projecting again.. I will say here that for almost every time except one (later) – each time the scene changes I either do it deliberately by spinning/twisting turning or similar or I feel like I’m back in my body and doing the last part of the projection again with stepping my legs out etc…

As said I had multiple experiences.. the first few were projecting into the room I was sleeping in.. after the idea from the first experience – having sex with my Mrs was the best thing I could think of now, which IS very nice, and that became my goal as she was in the first few projections.. strange alterations in the scene etc ie. Her character changing into other characters, which I even tried to stop, meant I never got very far with that goal. (The character changed shape but the rest of the scene was stable which was interesting – different than in my dreams).

Sometimes I projected into the room and it was dark, sometimes a light would be on.. one time I turned the light on (and it worked)… – usually if I projected or spun and altered the scene and it was very dark I projected/spun again as I didn’t want to project into the dark after my experience with the KISS character..

Often I was flying.. In the most interesting group of events I projected into the bedroom, flew outside and it was daytime… I figured I was in the area where I lived.. I thought about validating the projection experience so looked around closely for markers and areas I could recognise later… In one particular direction I noted I flew higher over a little hill and almost on the top of this rise nested amongst the houses was a frangipani tree (I view this our Mine/Mrs. flower – another story) and just past that another plant which I though I would recognise in it’s location/proximity to the frangipani but can’t remember the type now… just past those to the right was a house with a large flag hung over it’s brown painted wooden fence…  the flag was on it’s side, blue and with a half moon crescent (laying on it’s back) and some other symbols (all in white) .. most which I can’t remember now.

Then I remember projecting here again later (so I think this exists somewhere).. I took the same flight path past the same plants and eventually found my way into a house/barn/room. There were animals.. pigs (small ones).. geese or similar and others.. I had floated in here and a few in this room weren’t too happy.. I wasn’t supposed to be here.. The person most bothered by my presence looked like a man but had a face that resembled a pig (in ways without the pig nose) – I took this as the person in control of these animals – I noted a few other ‘people’ that had faces like animals – they didn’t seem like good people .. I didn’t want to bother anyone too much so decided to leave through a different entrance. I flew past a few beings that did the old “wooo..” ghost noise but I didn’t take too much notice and kept going…

In one other scene I wanted to visit my parents (they live 7hrs drive away)…  one time earlier I had seen some of my family (my Mum with my son and Mrs. etc) but not my Dad, and he was the main one I wanted to see.. I projected again and when outside my current house I saw the same things.. The rise of a small hill with houses, the frangipani etc.. I figured I needed to travel in the general direction of north to find my parents and once I’d established that direction I flew off – actually this is were I ran into the pig man house I think..-

Anyway the way I appeared at my parent’s house was different. The conscious stream was not as strong.. It was sort of like I was seeing dark then opened my eyes, and I saw myself flying towards my parent’s house.. My daughter (6 1/2 mths) eventually appears there and I’m carrying her while standing at the top of the stairs. I want to give her an experience of flying so I jump off the stairs (hopefully I’m in the astral), fall for a little (which was a bit scary) and then manage to fly while carrying her…  she rolls over while in my arms and we can again see the outside of my parent’s house.. I fly over and land on the steps and my Dad is there.. it now seems that I somehow hit my daughters head on something – maybe while flying – (though i didn’t) – and she had a little bruise on her head that my Dad helped me attend to..

That’s about the main bits. It was much more amazing than it reads. The feelings. The realness. The people. The flying:)… The continuous projections and the spinning was also fantastic.. It was truly awesome.. The only real scary bit was with the Gene Simmons character at the start.. otherwise this was the most cool projection experience I have had to date…

I believe most of 4:30-5:30am this morning was spent projecting..

The mentioned area outside my house I was visiting might be like what I experienced on some level as it was repeatable… Lets see if anything can be used for validation.. Pity I won’t be flying around my neighborhood in real life anytime soon to find out!!

Peace,

Dean
