If you’ve read my other entries here, you’ll probably realize that I almost entirely project out of lucid dreams. I’m not sure why that is, and I’d like to be able to consciously project, but haven’t so far.
Anyway, last night I realized I was dreaming and decided to project. I was on top of a building and thought, hmm, maybe I can just jump off this building, stop myself mid-air, and then project. It didn’t work the way I planned! I jumped off the building, stopped myself mid-air, and couldn’t go anywhere. I was just stuck mid-air, until I woke up. Nothing more frustrating than trying to astral project from a lucid dream and getting stuck mid-air. Actually, there is something more frustrating.
Last week, I realized I was dreaming while in an elevator in the dream. I tried to stick my arm through the elevator door, but it didn’t go anywhere! My hand just rammed into that elevator door, and it hurt. Yep, that’s pretty frustrating too.
On one hand, I’m happy that I’m at least having lucid dreams semi-regularly in order to attempt to project. On the other hand, it’s frustrating to have the dreams and then fail to project within them.

I hope it does, because lately, it’s all I’ve got. Last night I had another dream about projecting. I’m not sure it would be considered Lucid Dreaming, although I did realize I was dreaming and then project. I can’t remember exactly what I was dreaming that was a cue to realize I was in a dream. I just remember realizing it, and then lifting myself through the ceiling and trying to project. Unfortunately, I didn’t get anywhere.
I remember a distinct feeling that Chi is stronger together, but I can’t remember the context that I heard/thought/felt this in. That’s a bit frustrating.
I have to trust that with time, it will get better. I go through the same cycles when I write. There are times when writing flows and it’s easy and I write and write and write. There are other times when I feel empty, when ideas are incubating. At those times, part of me feels as though I might never write again, and the other part trusts that it’s part of the process. I know that I incubate ideas. The ideas have to pull themselves together within me, and sometimes I just need a rest. Ultimately, I pick up pen and paper again. I’ve always picked up pen and paper again. I’ll be 30 this month, and I’ve had the same process since I was six and wrote my first poem.
And so, I’ll wait, and trust that I will be Astral Projecting again. I’ll have lucid dreams to write about. My consciousness must be incubating.

Last night’s experience was pretty frustrating. I’ve been reading Astral Dynamics by Robert Bruce and working through some of the energy work. Last night I spent time focusing energy in my feet. Basically following this tutorial for the toes and feet:

My feet immediately started tingling, so I figured I already have a good store of energy there but I went through the exercises anyway.
I was tired last night, so I didn’t even intend to try to project. I just went off to sleep around 11 or so. Sometime in the middle of the night I woke up and felt that I could lift out of my body. I willed myself out but I wasn’t able to see or do anything. I assume I tried too early. Next time that happens, I think I’ll just wait a while instead of immediately trying.

I’m pretty sure within this experience last night, I was lucid dreaming, which then switched to astral projection. I’m planning to get new ear buds for my mp3 player today, so that I can use the timer starting tonight and hopefully have more progress with lucid dreaming, so I haven’t been trying much really. Last night I sort of half-focused on the mantra in the first technique shown in the post below this one. Basically, on exhale thinking “girrr”, next exhale thinking “tiiii”, and then “taakkk” until sleeping.
I didn’t actually think it would help with lucid dreaming, since I’ve had no luck at all with anything lately. I did end up with a lucid dream though so maybe there’s something to it, afterall.
When I realized I was lucid dreaming, I immediately decided to project. I wanted to go to my old hometown, so I thought about it and felt like I was moving somewhere, but somehow ended up in a room with computer screens. There were monitors on the wall with various websites I’ve visited. I lost control at that point because our 21 month old kicked me in the side and I woke up.
I’m wondering though, if I could have astral projected through those computer monitors. I’d like to go back and check into that. Lucid dreaming is a lot of fun. I’m hoping to have more to blog about once my mp3 player is functional again.
