Became Lucid In Baseball Dream

January 17th, 2010

This will be a short post because the lucid dream faded quickly. I feel the need to document these experiences if for no reason other than to trend the frequency that I become aware in states of consciousness where I should have been completely unconscious.

I went to bed around 11 PM Central after winning another game of iPhone Scrabble against my wife. I listened to “Brain Sync – The Secret – Universal Mind Meditation” as I drifted off and in about twenty minutes sleep and unconsciousness claimed my mind.

I don’t remember much of my dreams last night other than at some point around 4 AM I found myself throwing a baseball around with three other guys that I don’t remember meeting in waking life. I was in a semi-wooded field type area and I remember throwing the ball to one of the guys that was standing in a wooded patch and he ended up throwing the ball two miles up the hill from us. I felt the need to go fetch so I ran up the hill after the ball.

There was a fluctuation in time and suddenly I was at the top of the hill holding the ball in my hand. I don’t remember making the complete trip up the hill or actually finding the ball. I was standing uphill and in front of this half mile wide river which was opposite to the side of the field that I had been tossing the ball in.

I took off running down the hill towards the river and as I got closer I noticed that there was a steep embankment leading down to it. I started asking myself if I should stop running or if I should leap off of the embankment and fly across the river. This triggered lucidity in the dream because I knew that in waking life I would not be asking myself such things. If I have learned nothing else in life, I have learned that this physical subsystem that we exist in has laws and people can’t fly unaided, which is very unfortunate :) .

When I touched down on the baseball field side of the river I was fully conscious and lucid in my dream. The three guys were gone and I simply walked around for what I perceived as about a minute. It’s very exciting when you have waking consciousness while dreaming. You must experience it to get it. I tried to hold it all together but the environment and my surroundings quickly faded and I woke up.

Dreams and Lucid dreams in my opinion appear to be mostly physical phenomenons. I am not quite sure what happens when I become lucid and if the lucid awareness has its source rooted beyond the physical. I do know through personal experience that normal unconscious dreams are at least partly if not all physical.  When I was still experiencing migraines with visual auras I experienced the aura  in a dream and then woke up during this experience to find that I was still seeing it in waking life.

Now when I go out of body it’s a completely different feeling and I sometime actually transition out of a lucid dream to get there. Out of body experiences feel as real or more real than waking life. Thomas Campbell and Robert Bruce seem to be right about what’s going on when people experience projections into other realities.  Consciousness must manifest a new body for whatever reality you are visiting. This newly manifested body or form will of course exist in parallel to and independent from your physical body and the physical mind does not need to be in a sleep state in order to manifest consciousness into another reality.

Through the stars and into an OBE

January 11th, 2010

As far as I’m aware this mornings adventures play out in the following order..

It starts with a dream of my Naturopathy Graduation Party (which I’ve already had) but in the dream it is a much ‘darker’ party.. not much to mention here…

following this I am dreaming I am following my daughter through the stars.. It’s like I’m following her around like I might do in waking life just to make sure she stays safe.. When I awaken I wonder if this has any reference to the possibility of her incarnating on planets and me being her father or parent in past and possibly future lifetimes..

While still in the stars (dream) I begin to become more aware especially after I get this quite strong feeling suggesting to me -> “You are about to have an OBE”.. I figured this to be true and made some mental preparation for the next part of the process.. At this stage I wasn’t aware of my physical body, any vibrations or even where I was located anymore.. I then felt the familiar sensation of my astral body separating from my physical body… My legs were being pulled up and over my head, which is an exit stratergy I’ve never even thought of using, now it was happening to me.. It felt OK, so I went with it..

Next I find myself in my parents house (where I grew up).. I can still feel the sensation of the separation, and my legs being pulled over and behind my head.. When out I figured I was having an OBE so I ran out of the bedroom, past my Dad who was sitting in the kitchen, and went to jump off the veranda but quickly thought to myself “What if I’m actually awake and go SPLAT on the ground (after I jump from this 12ft high veranda)”.. Just in case, as I pass the door on my way to the veranda I tap the door frame with my hand – it feels hard. “I’m possibly in physical reality?”, i wonder.. I think “No, this is an OBE and I remember the separation from my body”.. I then aim to test reality and make my way for another room that has quite a big window in it, I jump out of this window and fly a little, but not real well, and land on the ground in the backyard about 50m away (my parents live on a farm).. As soon as I hit the ground my Mum has followed me outside and sees me, but almost as soon as I hit the ground I rocket up into the air at tremendous speed and watch the roof of the house become smaller and smaller as I fly high up into the air and away from the Earth…

Just then I begin getting a call back to my body.. I try to fight it but I haven’t got enough control and I find myself waking up in bed with a kind of “Damn it, I knew I was OBE” type feeling.. I couldn’t go back and was now awake..

In this experience although I had a fair amount of awareness I did find myself questioning myself as to whether I was in OBE or awake. I also jumped through a window that should have had fly screen on it but didn’t :) I consider the experience at my parents house an OBE as I had some familiar exit sensations and was pre-warned but apart from that it felt very much like a lucid dream. This further confirms that the separation between the two experiences is minute and only possibly defined by the individual’s experience. Although the RTZ (Real Time Zone) talked about by Robert Bruce may feel and react differently. As yet I don’t know,

Peace :)

Meditation Triggers Lucid Dream or Out of Body Experience

January 10th, 2010

I hope this post doesn’t make Emmy jealous, but for the sake of consciousness research I must write.

I fell asleep at around 11:30 PM last night and as I fell asleep I tried to clear my mind by observing thoughts without becoming attached to them. Around 5 AM I woke up and ran to the bathroom and then came back to bed and began trying the same techniques in an attempt to astral project. I was tired and my mind was not really coherent so I started trying to push thoughts away. I realized what I was doing and then began allowing my thoughts to drift in without resistance. I was surprised at some of the random thoughts that were entering my mind.  For example a fleeting thought of a specific trip to McDonald’s with my Dad when I was a small child entered my head. These thoughts came and went for 10 minutes or so and during this time frame vibrations were felt several times.

Around 5:30 AM I felt the sensation of myself being bouncing around inside my body. I knew what this was because it’s happened before so I envisioned myself violently bouncing back and forth and within couple of seconds I felt a release and I floated up into the ceiling and things went completely black. I suspected that I was stuck in the ceiling so I thought about standing in my backyard and as I did I felt movement as I drifted from the roof area of my house down into the backyard.

While I was standing in the yard I had full waking consciousness. I knew my name, address etc. I knew that I was either asleep, in some altered state of consciousness or in another reality. I stood there for a minute and let it all soak in. My quality of perception was very good this time and the quality of vision and my senses was superb, equal to or better than waking life.

I looked around and the first thing that came to mind was that I needed to validate and collect evidence. This is where reality fluctuations came into play. I had the idea of floating over to my neighbors house and looking around inside. The idea was that if I ever go inside her house I might be able to identify something I saw in this state. I probably need to rethink my methods of validation.

I floated over to this window that doesn’t really exist in waking life (reality fluctuation) and I pressed my head against the screen in the window (another reality fluctuation, it’s too cold for open windows). Inside I could see her getting a small girl ready for school. She glanced over in my direction at one point but she didn’t seem to notice me there. I was at the window for about a minute and then things shifted.

I found myself standing on the front porch of a house with her on the street I grew up on as a child. She was pissing off the front porch in an attempt to put out a cigarette that she had just thrown on the ground. This was all to funny for me so I asked her if she could see me? She nodded and said yes.  I laughed out loud and asked her “You know you are in my dream, right?”. She didn’t really answer, either she was a dream character or she was just drifting in unconsciousness, it’s hard to say.

She took off running towards the house where my dad lives and jumped into this truck that I have never seen before. This is the part Emmy will like. I jumped in behind her and asked her if she wanted to have sex just to see how she would respond. She agreed to this, but as we started undressing darkness faded in and I found myself back in bed. I question my level of lucidity at this point because I know that I would not cheat in waking life.

I lost lucidity because in my mind I really thought I was awake, but I should have known that I wasn’t because someone out back was mowing the lawn. It’s unlikely that someone would be mowing the lawn at this time of year and at this time of morning. Still this wasn’t enough to make me realize that I was sleeping and the dream continued for about another hour before I finally woke up and wrote this.

The conclusion here is that I was either in the RTZ with extreme reality fluctuations or I was having a lucid dream. Either way I had full waking consciousness. Emmy, you have my permission to have dream sex with anyone that you want.
