A Dreamer's Dreams

Journal Entry Non-Lucid #1 Dream, non-dream)

Background: I was having a conversation with my dad. I asked him if he has ever quieted his mind. He asked me, "what do I mean?" I said, "Have you ever went to a point in which you have less and less thoughts ? He then responded negatively, telling me that it wasn't good to do that kind of meditation and it's demonic. He told me about his "astral journey" and that it nearly made him crazy. I told him that whether or not the information came from a Buddhist monk, a scientist, or mystic's you have to analyze the information, not have a bias based on where it is coming from that is considered a fallacy. He didn't agree with me and I didn't agree with him about the astral part, but he did agree with me with the mindful meditation. He honestly made me scared about astral projection, but I that I wanted to do this more than anything else.

Dream: So, in this dream, I was in my bed just sleeping. I then got out of my body and started to fly. It was night time and I saw the beautiful city lights. I then landed at a store, my father was there. It looked like day time by now. I said to him, "look I am astral projecting and it's not dangerous". He looked at me, and didn't say anything. I then went underground and flew back up to the sky.

Problems faced: Remembering dream, mostly because of stress (school).
