      Astral Projection?

      I only just joined this forum so this story is a few months old, but I really really feel like I Astral Projected in a lucid dream one night. I thought I could feel another entity with me and it spoke to me about changes I need to make in my life. I saw a map of India with a cross marking a place which I looked up when I woke - it was Chenai.
      My father used to be able to meditate himself into astral projection so I asked him what he thought of it all. His theory was I connected with someone from Chenai.

      Or could it be I had Chenai on the brain for some reason and caused myself to see that? And was the 'entity' just my imagination?

      I know that this sounds insane. I practice mindfulness/meditation and try to be as (non-religious)Buddhist as I can in day-to-day life so I am open to a lot of different ideas.

      Please don't laugh!

      Thanks Mod for moving this, I somehow completely overlooked this whole section. D'oh.

      I don't think this is funny at all. In fact I just came from a thread that was closer to being funny than this, some guy was asking if Lucid Dreaming came from the devil. I didn't poke fun at him either, I merely told him he needs to wake up a bit and think for himself. I've never had an astral projection experience, but I do know this: there are things in this world that we can't explain, especially when it comes to the human mind and spirit. If you feel that you have a connection and that feeling is strong enough, then explore it. Maybe you have a Soul mate there. Maybe you lived a past life there. Maybe there you will find an answer to a profound question you have. Who's to say really?

      Have you ever asked yourself why Dreams feel so real? What does that mean about Dreams? What does that mean about waking life and reality in general? Many people cannot imagine something without having seen it first and this is a weak point in the human psyche. Before you could Lucid Dream did you really ever believe that there is a place you can access every night that is parallel to waking reality, but you have total control over it? These are just a few of the questions some people ask themselves every day, and even more still have yet to ask.

      I Dreamed a Dream
      In it, saw people I've never seen
      Gone places I've never been
      And done things I'd do again.

      I saw that post too.

      In my introduction post I mentioned that I have trouble distinguishing between reality and dreams. There are things that I don't think I'll ever know if I actually did them or dreamed them.

      I originally posted this in the General Lucid Dreaming forum. I did not notice this section of the forums until the Mod moved my thread, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered posting because I see now that it's already been discussed at length in here. This will probably become my favourite section of DV.

      Hey your not alone there buddy... There's this girl I knew, whom I was fall down infatuated with, and we were good friends. Her family trusted me completely with her. Enough to let me stay over sometimes and sleep in her room with the door shut. Yea. Nothing ever really happened though. Aside from us talking about how we felt about each other and long conversations mixed with longing eyes... I had a girlfriend at the time tho so I never really tried to make a move on her. And yes, me staying over did cause its problems with my girl, but that's waaaaaaaay too complicated and private to get into here.

      Anyway, her older sister had a birthday party a few years back and I got intoxicated to the point where I blacked out. I remember up until a certain point, and then the next thing I knew, I woke up in her bed next to her (not naked) wondering what the hell happened. Well.... The only thing I remember in between the blackout was being in her room, with her on top of me in her underwear and we were passionately kissing. It was in short bursts that I recalled this. But that experience was so unbelievable that Im not sure if I dreamed it or it happened.

      Here are the reasons so: why is it that during my blackout the only thing I can remember are bits of the make out session, the next day she seemed fine like nothing had changed between us, I have never had a Dream about her that took place in her bedroom, did she take advantage of the fact that I was so drunk? We stopped talking sometime after that on a completely unrelated issue. I can't even ask her know if something happened because I feel she would just say no to keep me from having that satisfaction, so I continue to this day to wonder....
