The Malleable Light

Last night I was feeling very tired. This is mostly because I have been working my day job plus staying up late studying and getting my web programming business going. I wasn’t expecting or trying to have an OOBE or a lucid dream last night, I was simply trying to get a good night’s rest.

I fell asleep listening to Electric Light Orchestra – Out of the Blue and then woke back up a few minutes later choking after sucking some saliva down my windpipe. What a horrible feeling it is to wake up gasping for air but it seems to happen to me frequently. I fell back asleep after this and didn’t wake back up.

I don’t remember much of my dreams last night but at some point I found myself in a dream laying in my bed trying to fall asleep. I remember trying to get comfortable but couldn’t. I then felt someone tucking me in. I am not sure who it was but as they tucked me in I became extremely relaxed and then instinctively went for an exit technique. I felt myself sink down into the bed and then I drifted out of the bed an into a upright position standing in the doorway leading out of my bedroom.

I walked down the hallway and then down the stairs to the first floor of our apartment. When I got to the bottom of the stairs I started thinking about whether or not I was awake or asleep so I tried the wall test by attempting to stick my foot though the wall next to the door that leads out of the apartment. The wall seemed pretty solid to me so I figured that I might be awake. I decided to head outside and see if things out there matched reality.

I walked out the door and noticed that things looked and felt real but the outside area did not match what’s really in front of my apartment. It’s hard to explain this and you have to experience an OOBE or lucid dream to understand. Even when things don’t match reality, it’s hard to convince yourself that it’s not reality. The reason for this is how vivid the experience usually is. There is not a difference as far as senses go between being awake or being lucid or in an OOBE. The only clues that you have to go on are reality fluctuations. Even though I normally know that I am not at my real house, the experience itself is very real and normally I am not asking “Is this real?”, I am asking “Where the hell am I?”.

When I waked out of the apartment I found myself standing on a large elevated concrete porch under a white aluminum awning. I was in an urban neighborhood and there was a road directly in front of the house and there were houses on either side of the road about 30 ft apart from each other.

I walked down the stairs and out into the street and looked to my left and noticed a man about 100 yards away walking down the street towards me. It was at this point that I noticed that my clothes had disappeared so I ran back up the porch stairs and ducked out of view. I reality fluctuation happened again and my clothes were back. I wanted to test the environment so I jumped up in the air and rather than falling back to the ground I hovered about 2 ft off the ground. seeing that I was able to fly I decided to explore the neighborhood from the air.

I floated down the stairs and this time turned right and headed down the street. I traveled several houses down and noticed that on the left there was a house with a carport and under it were about 5 or 6 women. I went over and said hi or something that I don’t remember and they started being snobbish. I started becoming too aware at this point and felt the environment around me begin to degrade and a few seconds later found myself back in my normal awareness awake in bed.

I don’t know if this was a lucid dream or an OOBE but overall it was a cool experience. Maybe next time something more trippy will happen.

Hi All, long time since logging in. I’ve been trying to get the time but busy doing other things..

Over January & February I found a substantial part of my dream memories were of an emotional nature. Dreams that were very symbolic, communicative and sometimes directly healing. In the past month and a half I’ve had about three experiences I wanted to report.

The first I considered an OBE. I woke due to my 10mth old and was awake with her for somewhere around 1-2hrs. Her mother woke and said “Why don’t you go back to bed?”.. My Mrs. has trouble going back to sleep if she gets woken but not I

So I trotted off to bed and thought I would meditate lying down to help me get back to sleep & because I felt like meditating

After a while (maybe 20-30mins) of Anapanna meditation I felt an indescript feeling that i could only relate as a familiar pre-OBE feeling. I then shifted focus to my body and there was a general feeling of something but definately no vibrations of any strength. I then went back to Anapanna as I had no intention of projecting. Before I knew it I was asleep and found myself in the downstairs of my house. Because this happened about two weeks ago much of the detail is gone from memory but I found myself suggesting to myself that I was having an OBE. I was talking to people telling them i was having an OBE. I remember this woman I was talking to was suggesting, “No, No. You’re not having an OBE you’re high on Marijuana”.. I use to smoke the stuff so was then a little unsure.. I KNEW absolutely I was in an altered state of reality and felt very light and free and thought “No, I’m not high I’m in an OBE”.. The theme downstairs was that it was my nextdoor neighbours birthday.. The interesting thing about this is after I woke I asked my Mrs. if she knew when the neighbours birthday was, she said “I know he’s a Pisces (sun sign) so it must be soon”. I saw him a day or two later and asked him and it turns out it’s in early March.. cool huh!! Much of the rest of the experience is in fragments except for a part where someone else was attempting to convince me I had been smoking marijuana”.. I was thinking “I sort of hope not”.. Then I felt what I was experiencing..and it was so much nicer than any marijuana high i have ever experienced (and thats heaps) I was convinced that I was OBE and while in OBE thought to myself “People wish they felt like I do now when they get high”.. then I wondered, “Is this what people are hoping they are going to be experiencing when getting high?”.. I wonder…

There was one time in this OBE that I considered shifting back to my body to prove to myself that i was OBE.. Just the mere thought of doing that produced a feeling in my astral body that made me aware that my physical body was indeed asleep in bed with strong vibes .. I knew I was OBE by this feeling and decided to stay.. I believe by going back to my body consciously I would have retained better memories but it was so nice to be out and i could feel i could sustain it so i played the staying out game

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

One other thing that happened was fairly unusual for me.. I had an alien come to me in what i describe as a vsion (while sleeping) and it said “We are coming”… This alien was reptilian to look at (though never seen one before, not even a drawing) with green skin and scales. It (he) was short.. Maybe 5′2″ tall and had very broad shoulders very little neck… It’s manner was urgent though friendly, it seemed like it was warning me so I’m not so surprised or fearful when they come. It felt like it (they) almost HAD to come to Earth,like they (it) had very little choice… Although I believe Alien beings most very likely exist (due mainly to the masive expanse of galaxy & universe out there) – I have never spent much time thinking that they would be coming to Earth and even less time that they would come in a form/manner that would allow them the be visible to us… Over December/January I was reading an e-book by Tayesin from Astral Pulse which speaks a lot about UFO’s Aliens and the like, so not sure how much this influenced this encounter.. Maybe it just allowed me to open up to allow this being to contact me, but who knows?

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

The last experience I consider a very Lucid Dream.. the main theme in it was me practicing my flying skills.. Couple of interesting things to note here.. 1. Spent most of this flying lesson in the car driving position (like sitting in the car seat).. It was quite fun

More importantly I note that 2. This experience (considered an LD) was much more colourful and vivid than the experience I called an OBE earlier.. The main differences & why I categorise them differently is I had much more awareness in the OBE.. In the OBE I believed that I was OBE.. I’m sure from the feeling I got, if I did try to move back to my physical body I am SURE I would have ended up in my bed with vibes all over my body.. In the LD I felt like I was dreaming.. I was aware I was dreaming but had no awareness of my physical body or any desire to go back and no desire to do anything else but fly…

I hope something here may help someone in some way,

Thank you,

Dean K

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.

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

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.

I woke up early this morning at 4 AM and per the lucidology videos and for the first time ever I had enough clarity to consciously wake up and keep perfectly still. Nicholas Newport claims that if a person is able to wake up without moving then they should be able to slip right back into sleep, the trance state or an OBE. Before I woke I had been dreaming that I was back in my childhood bedroom that I had shared with my two brothers growing up. In the dream they are both sleeping in the same bed across from me and but they were grown and for some reason were annoying the crap out of me.

I laid in the bed across from them in the dream trying to fall asleep “while already sleeping” and suddenly I woke up. Perhaps it was the fact that I was dreaming of falling asleep that prevented me from moving when I woke, but I made a conscious decision not to move for the sole purpose of attempting an OBE.

I recall laying in my real bed thinking mostly about staying perfectly still and then 5 seconds later the vibrations hit and I found myself in sleep paralysis. Almost instantly I was back in my dream, however I was now lucid and I knew what was going on. Strangely enough, at the same time I was seeing my current bedroom too. I was not flipping back an forth between dream state and waking consciousness, It seems that I was actually thinking in duality between my dreaming consciousness and my expanded ethereal consciousness.

A few seconds later I noticed in my dream state that the bed sheets where not completely coving my back which caused me to feel unprotected and fear set in. My consciousness then shifted to my dream state and I remember being in paralysis trying to break free by swinging my arms back and forth over my chest. My consciousness suddenly shifted back to my ethereal body and my dream body at the same time and I could see my dream arms sitting still while another set of arms were moving back and forth across my chest passing through my dream arms. I think that the moving arms were perhaps my real time double’s arms.

I never woke up but instead the vibrations stopped and I went straight back into the dream and lost real time consciousness. The fear of not being covered up in the dream caused an abrupt end to the experience. It seems to me that I was conscious on 3 different levels during the experience. I was seeing my dream, my real room and my real time arms moving pretty much all at the same time. I think that if I could have continued the experience and kept the fear at bay, my real time body, including the arms that were moving, would have exited and I may or may not have remembered the OBE. Perhaps the strong fear emotion was the reason I remembered any of it. This also suggest that when I woke up, any projected doubles must have been reeled in at that moment.

I have not seen any lucid dreams or out of body experiences to speak of but I have missed a few signals in my dreams that I believe was my consciousness trying to bring me into lucidity.

Last night there were two missed signals, both of which were very obvious and should have snapped me into lucidity. The first signal was that my daughter had cancer in my dream and my wife told me that she was diagnosed months ago and forgot to tell me. It’s pretty obvious while sitting here typing this that my wife would not forget to tell me my if my daughter had cancer. The other signal was that I was standing in my childhood house looking out the back window watching it snow outside. I remember thinking in the dream that it was odd because it’s been 106 degrees for months in Texas. I should have realized I was dreaming when my own thoughts made reference to the impossibility of snow at this time of year and then the fact that I don’t live anywhere near my childhood home and haven’t for years should have been a clue.

The missed signals really do give me hope. I know that my consciousness is trying to awake however my lack of progress in lucid dreaming and out of body experiences can be directly contributed to too much work and programming distractions lately. I will continue to add video content to this blog, read metaphysical material and question my reality at all times and hopefully I will start seeing some changes.

I just wanted to mention this.. as it’s interesting!

Firstly.. a bit of background. I’m a bit of a DJ, bedroom mainly but can play the odd party. I play breakbeat and I’ve got myself my own sound> It’s a leftover from my past lifestyle.. but I still dig a good breakbeat tune..(not too heavy though as some get way too dark and heavy for me)

Anyway there is a music store here in my little town that still sells vinyl.. i play vinyl.. there’s not many around anymore.. even in the cities.. i could travel 2hrs to the closest capital and they’d be flat having a larger vinyl stand than these guys.. I’m well known in the store and probably one of their more consistent customers..

So.. this morning I woke from a dream where the main fellow that owns the record shop is in the shop but it’s a much bigger shop.. it’s still located where it is in reality but the shop has extended into some of the other shops beside it and there is a huge “storage” type room off to the west side of the building.. The shop is painted differently than in reality. It has two shades of colour on the walls.. the top two 3rds is a shade of darker green & the bottom 3rd a dark blue colour..

The only people in the room are David (a co-owner) and myself.. There are no CD’s etc in the main room.. in the other “storage” room I see vinyl records sitting on the floor..

Eventually I transition into my awake state and while lying in bed remembering this I feel worried that maybe they are going out of business or struggling financially and that they need to change the room around to attract new customers etc..

Well.. I was in town today and I was so close to the vinyl store I decided to pop in.. partly to see what’s happening because of my dream and partly to see if they had received in any vinyl I had ordered lately..

After G’days and greeting each other.. I said to both Deb (the other co-owner) and Dave who were both there.. I had a dream this morning about this place.. “I dreamt that you were changing the place around”..

Deb (who was partly busy doing something else) flung her head around and asked “why? what did you hear? who told you?” in quick succession.

I said “noone i dreamt it”…

Then she told me a story.. they are looking at moving the business up the same street a little into a much bigger space that has become vacant.. There’s even an upstairs there which they are going to dedicate to vinyl..

I even explained to her about the colours I saw and she said a friend of hers that had inspected the empty space with her had thought of doing a 1/3rd-2/3rd colour split but they we thinking green and yellow…

Deb’s only seen inside this space once and they’ve just today had someone inspect it for them.. So who knows yet… it’s pretty early..

I figure somehow I was attracted to some kind of Astral Thought Bubble that Deb & Dave are creating and I’ve now begun to interact with..

It just seems so cool to me that this sort of thing is going on in the astral, mostly without our knowing..
