Back From A Hiatus

[beherenow]

Last year I started meditating and started lucid dreaming. I got to be alright at it, which is a generous word at best, but I had about 8 or 9 notable lucid dreams throughout the semester. I want to get back into it. I'm pretty stressed out this semester, which might have something to do with it, but does anyone have advice? Also, could anyone give me a clear difference between astral projection and lucid dreaming? Is one just more intense? Cheers.

I belive "astral projection" is were your soul leaves your body, and you can really see the real world from a different perspective. I belive people have OOBEs though, i think its just a LD were you have a 3rd person perspective. Maybe something more, im not sure though, i have never had a OOBE. one question: Did you try and LD or was it a result from meditation? (and if you were directily trying to lucid dream) Do you think the meditation helped you with Lding alot

Last year, when I used to have them I would meditate and relax and, if I got lucky, I could kind of float away and walk around my room or do whatever. Really interesting experiences though... I think meditating does help, in my experience. It puts my mind in the right frame of reference and helps me relax.
