Been stuyding dreams for approximately 10 years. Plenty of psychic dreams too. I'm intuitive most of the waking life. I've been yearing for the next level and got a taste of it on the night before New Years Eve. On that night I learned that I had control in lucid dreaming (LD before but never used control, I just let the dream play out and I pay attention) I slowely went into OOBE (which I heard is common when you are in LD to slip into OOBE) and I backed out, but did it very softly. I felt nothing scary or fearful until I started reading about my experience and getting knowledge on the subject and realize... Oh my gosh, there is another dimension! Now I'm learning that like our struggles in our waking life, there are struggles there too??? Doesn't sound like an inviting place, regardless of it's rewards. Life is hard enough when you are awake (which is most of your life) but who wants it when you are sleeping too? This is just how I am feeling now. I may change as the fear of what just happened to me subsides.

but the post Iread about "what do you do now with what you know? Ignor it? Refuse to believe it exists" I think people have these experiences because they need to fill that "void" that we all come to spiritually in our lives. If you walk away, you are going to remain unfullfilled and empty. Embrace it and you will become "whole" or at least getting closer to being whole.

I still don't understand all of this. This is my first post and I find reading messages on this board very helpful. Please share with me, how and when you decided to "take it to the next level". What made you decide to move ahead if you have.

Thank you and blessed be!
