Thread: Astral projection and lucid dreaming

I can have lucid dreams whenever I want, but the thing I'm much more interested in is astral projecting (out of body experiences), which I heard you can accomplish through lucid dreams. So if anyone has any idea, I'll sure be glad if he/she shares it with me.

I used to have a really good book about astral projection, and I spent months attempting it, but I never succeeded. I think it's possible, I think my problem is that I'm too much of a logical thinker and I can't let go of the laws of physics and things like that (unlike when I am in a dream)... I've also never been able to do astral projection while dreaming either, although I have not tried that, but others claim to have done it, I guess they call it dream scaping, or maybe I'm just all confused.

My first lucid dream and my first OBE were simultaneous. You really need to spend time before you sleep mediating on slowing down your breathing and heartrate. Once this state is reached the key to getting out is to maintain the slow breathing and quickly accelerating your heartrate. The cool thing is when you think that it isn't working and you attempt to get out of bed and your foot goes through the floor. My best OBE was simply hearing the most incredible music consisting of stringed instruments and floating towards the source as if I were riding a wave. My entire being was part of the music.

That is a really cool lucid dream. I hope to be able to accomplish that soon. Do you do anything else besides the breathing to trigger a lucid dream?

The breathing technique is for astral projection.
