Thread: Hello everyone

I've experienced lucid dreaming before but I've mostly been getting sleep paralysis which leads to astral projection. I really want to learn not to be afraid and how to control these experiences. I haven't been trying to make them happen but they just do and it's making me feel like I'm cursed. They stopped for a while and I was glad because I could finally fall asleep in peace but last night it happened again. I was so terrified by the experience that I couldn't help but cry. I've hallucinated many times and felt myself disconnect from my body. I can't always tell if I'm astral projecting or if it's a lucid dream. Anyhow, hello and I hope this forum can help.

Welcome to DV SapphireDreams!

Sorry to hear about your negative experience. We hear these kinds of stories a lot and its unfortunate. I have found the best approach to negative or dark experiences in the dream state is to produce a positive mind set before going to sleep. Produce a mind set of positivity, love, safety, and confidence. It might seem small, but it has had a huge impact on my own experience.

As for astral projection, or out of body experiences, I have found a guy named William Buhlman on youtube that is very knowledgeable on the subject.
again, welcome!

Whether or not you were really asto-projecting will depend on who you talk to you on here lol.

I believe your issue may be related to unintentionally initiating WBTB method while at the wrong energy level. It has happened to me many, many times before.

So, what time of the day do these happen? What methods have you used?

It almost always happens if I fall asleep on my back. If I try to fall asleep in the day time, they usually happen as well. I haven't really used any methods but ever since I was around the age of 15, the sleep paralysis started happening. And then the astral projection came after it, I didn't even try to do it the first time that it happened. A while ago, I did try to practice trying to astral project. I would lay down and listen to my breathing and just let my body relax. I don't know if I was ever doing it right but I did feel like it was working.

When I lived with my Mother, I started experiencing a lot of Hallucinations (sleep paralysis) and was afraid to fall asleep for a while. I was also depressed and a lot more negative then I am now. I would always see this girl and I was touched sexually quite a lot. But I feel like this mostly happened because I would purposely think of sexual thoughts because they took over my fear easier. One day, I was visiting my Mother, I was asleep with my bf and I woke up. I felt disconnected from my body and started having a conversation with Rob (bf). My eyes wouldn't open and I remember I was scared because I thought it was real. At one point, this girl went in between my legs and started to kiss my thighs. She only had a head however, no body was attached. She scared me so I grabbed her hair and she bit me, so I threw her head against my bedroom door. I woke up after that.

Another time when I was alone, I woke up and again thought that it was real. My bf was next to me (He wasn't even at my house.) Everything felt really intense and he started to kiss me and do another sexual thing. I'm pretty sure that I was still afraid but I was trying to think positive so I wouldn't see scary things. But out of no where, I feel this heavy weight on me. It was the girl again and I think she bit my arm, so I grabbed her hair and pushed her face away with my hand. This made her bite my hand in the process. I was terrified but was trying to control my emotions and think positive thoughts. My body then felt like it was starting to slide off of my bed. Then I remember standing up and I felt like my bf's body was laying on the floor behind me. I didn't want to look back though because I was afraid of what I would see. When I turned towards my bedroom door, I saw a monkey that was apart of the door. He had razor teeth and his mouth was opened partly. I imagined that he was actually friendly and it made him smile. I opened the door and he came out of it, so I held his hand. I walked with the monkey (Doll monkey) down my hallway towards my twin sisters bedroom. My bf (the body that was on the floor) started crawling out of the room after me. So I quickly got into the room and shut the door. He was banging on it and he opened the door. He asked me what I was doing and I said that I didn't know. He thought that I was sleep walking, but I told him that there was a monkey. He couldn't see it though. So I explained what it looked like... it had a reddish nose and razor teeth, the color of it was blue or purple. My bf saw a stuffed monkey on the floor and picked it up asking me if it was just this, but I said no. I woke up after that.

Have you read "Adventures Beyond the Body HOW TO EXPERIENCE OUT-OF-BODY TRAVEL" By William Buhlman, or "Journeys out of the body" by Robert Monroe?

They have great detailed descriptions of authors personal journeys from discovering OBEs/LDs, and how they dealt with it being scary and how they explored it. Good luck
