Thanks man, i can now continue lucid draming without woring about how lucid dreaming might invite spirits of some sort. Kool man 4 taking the time to say somthin. But im still staying away from that astro stuff and im not going to try and use the WILD tecknique to try and induce Lucid dreaming. |

To me, dreaming is only an altered state of consciousness (although it's very similar to waking consciousness). Everything exists inside your head. You don't open yourself to demons or anything else (I believe in Christianity). Besides, with God on your side, what do you have to fear of demons? |

I just got mailed from some 1 and ill stick with his explantion but yours sounds intresting. I couldn't help but laugh when i read what happend to you. But i know where your coming from when scary dreams seem so real your about to take a $^@p in your pants. I think that parilisation thing might have happend to me once but its a faint memory |

"I thought what I'd do was pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes..."
I have been successfully dreaming lucidly and astrally projecting (there IS a difference) for 32 years. Referring to an unknown entity as a "demon" is what humans do when they don't understand something. What we do not understand, we fear. Fear is an enemy that is easily vanquished by confidence and knowledge. |
|
When I am dreaming lucidly I am conscious of my surroundings as being completely dream induced. I am able to control absolutely my body and all aspects of the dream. Also the substance of my dreams have a unique feel about them. This is one of the main things that allow me to know immediately that I am dreaming. |
|
So what exactly are these "planes" that you go to? I thought astral projection was projecting your consciousness to a specific area of the world. These "planes" sound suspiciously like uncontrollable lucid dreams, or low-level lucidity. |

As I stated, I have no memory of what happens. I would imagine that these planes are other dimensions. Everything exists at a certain vibrational frequency. When I first leave my body I feel as though I am in an earthquake. It is a slow, pounding vibration. Look at it this way... Lets say that there are nine levels or planes of existence. The first plane (or base plane) vibrates at level 1 and can go no higher. The second plane vibrates at level 2. Therefore, it must also be capable of existing at level 1, because level 1 is the base. It is aware of itself and plane 1, but not plane 3. This continues up until plane 9 which encompasses all the lower planes within itself. The essence, or soul, vibrates at a much higher rate than that which is coded for our material plane. The "silver cord" that is said to connect our astral body to our physical body allows us to exist within the parameters of this level. Death occurs when this cord is severed and our essence, which is vibrating much faster, automatically gravitates toward the plane that shares its frequency. |

i'm confuzed.. |

Ignorant bliss is an oxymoron; but so is miserable truth.
Yeah, i would not worry about what these people are telling you about spirits taking over your body while dreaming. Im sounds like bunch of crap. Like i think Aneas said its just fear eating you up not really demons. Once you overcome the fear the demons go away. It could be Jesus or god or whatever makes you feel confident. |
|
Yes, Astral projection and OBEs are the same. The worse that can happen is that your perception of reality could be forever altered. There are books on how you can accomplish an OBE. Like lucid dreaming, it's hard for me to explain. One popular techniques is to imagine yourself on the ceiling looking down at your body. I always found it helpful slow down your heartrate and breathing as much as possible, and then speed up the heart quickly, but not the breathing. |
|
Just fyi ppl im looking for this topic to fade away in the mist of other post so if you plz wouldn't post any more under this topic. I Recomend nightmare with a twist. I will continue lucid dreaming, i know as long as i beieve in my God i have nothing to fear. |

um...how 'bout....no |

I heard that derams of falling can be a sign of a bad landing coming back into the body. Or if you jerk youR body while starting to doze off this is a bad exit. If you wake up and cant move or talk you are half in and half out of the body. We cannot move until we are totally in body. Any input Aneas you seem to be more aware of OBE. |
|
Aneas, what your descripeing is truely amazing to me because That's how I amagine things. When you describle the different feeling in a dream I have the same kinda sensation, and it's almost physical to start....I dont really even know how describe it, but something like sinus pressure, or a tightness behind my nose....This might sound really crazy but it's something involveing my nose area! |
|
Alright who are you talking to. Better not Be me. I had a dream night mare that scared the crap out of me and u r calling it kool. HA thats funny. I dont know what made me become lucid and wake me up. But all i know is it was hard pulling myself togther and ovcoming parliyse. Oh and i dont ever plan on astro projecting or OBE |
