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.

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,

I have been in a cycle of very few dreams or other AP type events… but that seems to happen to me and soon I’ll be in a cycle where Dreams and Lucid Dreams are nightly or multiple nightly

Anyway…  I was having quite a pleasant lucid dream that I was totally content in.. I could fly, I had pretty close to full waking consciousness at times, but I didn’t feel like moving to an AP which is now often my goal when becoming lucid…

I was in a scene on the road of my primary school.. I felt like I was in my twenties or later..

Where this becomes interesting is when I get tired of the dream and decide to take some more control..

My current AP target has been Dec 2012 – Jan 2013… Every now and then in the day I recount that this is my target..  So when leaving the Lucid Dream it was natural that this is where I wanted to go.. Though I forgot to get ready for an AP (ie. aim for physical body back in bed -> project etc)..

I actually seemed to move forward (in time) within the lucid dream.. My desire to go forward in the future caused me to spin around (I actually believe that the scene around me was spinning and was I still)..

Whichever way it was, I found myself in what I took for 2012 (though no way to tell other than this is what i was aiming for) – (nothing much had happened by the looks of it!)…  I then thought I should actually aim for Jan 2013..

When I landed I was in the same location.. things look the same as they do in reality though compared to my earlier lucid dream the scene has now changed to night..

I’m in Australia.. same locale.. nighttime.. behind me is the service station just as per reality.. I stand underneath it’s cover and close to me are a few people.. There is quite a large storm off into the distance with lightning.. The ground feels as though it is trembling off into the distance (but i can’t be sure about this)..

I look to the storm and lightning and ask someone next to me “What is that?”..

“That”, they said.. “Is Krakatoa”..

???

So I’m not sure where I landed, but if it was Jan 2013, part of me on some level must think that in Jan 2013, Krakatoa has recently erupted or been erupting???

In waking life I have wondered if there will be an increase in volcanic activity while moving to 2012..  though I’ve never consciously thought about Krakatoa particularly (though i know of it) so I’m not sure how much this influenced what I saw,

Thanks for reading,

Merry Christmas

Dean Keune Lucid Dreams 2012, Flying, Lucid Dreams

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.

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! 

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

I wish I got up to write this dream down this morning after I woke from it.. but I decided not to write it anywhere as I wanted more sleep.. i took a little time to remember it before drifting off to sleep again but as we all know it’s much harder to remember a dream after drifting off to sleep again..

Anyway.. it was brilliant to say the least.. as per the title, my memory of it is short as I only remember the last little bit..

I’m with two or three other men.. sometimes I’m the third man at other times I’m watching the third man as if i’m seperate from him.. The first quality that stikes me about these men is they are ALL powerful.. physically they are well built.. solid.. muscular but not too muscular… energetically they have a powerful presence..  i don’t consider myself to be like this.. they have an energy that I imagine would be alluring to women and as a man you want to be like them.. they seem in control of their life.. they have an essence of security.. they believe in themselves.. you can feel it.. i’m sure you’ve met men like this..

I remember the three of us running and at this stage I am now, definately the third man. We are running.. the sky is blue… there are hills and beautiful scenery in front of us.. all around are picturesque surroundings.. colourful with a crystal like quality.. we continue running.. i’m kind of following the other two.. then they run and jump off the edge of a cliff and fly.. I follow them… i don’t think it odd at all and run and jump off the edge of the cliff with them..

this is where the magic happens.. as i am in the air.. i look at the surroundings.. begin to fly and instantly I become part of the sunshine!!

I became part of the sunshine.. the golden sunshine.. WOW.. that was brilliant.. at that moment i had no body.. my consciousness (as i know it) was present but it was fused with the consciousness of the sunshine… I’m not sure the sunshine was aware of my presence but it and I were joined.. I was aware of it and myself equally… 50-50…

I would be unlikely to post too many other non-lucid dreams here but as you can see this was quite special for me and as such I though it was worthy of mention here..

Thanks

While getting back into lucid dream and astral projection attempts I fell asleep last night listening to the Tibetan Chakra Meditations [LIVE] cd while repeating the mantra “I am out of body now” in my head. Within a few minutes I fell asleep.

The dream was very foggy and I don’t remember anything before or after the lucid part of the dream. I know that at some point during normal dreaming I spoke out loud and heard my voice say “I am now lucid!”.

The pattern has always been that most of the time when I become lucid or out of body there is almost always an instinctive reflex to fly. Doing so feels very natural and yet it seems almost like getting back onto a bicycle after 15 years.  I know how to ride it but at the same time it feels new and I feel slightly out of touch.

I have noticed that with every new lucid dream or out of body experience that I have, my flying abilities become better and better. Last night When I became lucid I immediately took off flying. I was in the backyard of my childhood home and I remember flying up and over the top of the old pecan tree that stands over 100 ft high. I had precision control of my movement in the air and the detail of my vision in this dream state was superb. I remember hearing the word “eagle” while in flight. I soared up and over the top of the tree thousands of feet into the air and then back down and landed in the backyard. Everything became foggy again at this point and my subconscious came rushing back in. I think the entire lucid state lasted about a minute at most.

Even though the lucidity was short lived I am happy to know that my efforts to get back on track are producing results! I would love to hear from others about flying in lucid dreams. Does anyone else notice that flying seems to be an automatic and primary method of transit while out of body or lucid dreaming?
