Hi, Rolo. |
|
Thank you for weighing in. |

A few thoughts. For starters, congrats on your progress. It sounds like you're making good progress for only 3 months in. Roadblocks are normal and part of the process. |

Unfortunately, I don't have strategies for that. I've never had that happen where I was stuck floating. Have you tried moving around the room? Nearly all WILDs I have experienced have started with me floating above my bed at night, in a very realistic setting to my bedroom. But I never have trouble moving around. Once I move around, I am easily within the lucid dream. Do you think the problem is less getting lucid, but more a problem with moving your body one lucid this way? |

Hmm. I see. I don't view lucid dreaming and astral journeys as different. To me, it's all a form of conscious dreaming. There may be higher and lower realms within lucid dreaming, who's to say? I don't know. But, I think it's all one in the same in the sense of the state change. I know people's views on this differ. |

It's interesting because everyone has their unique challenges when it comes to lucid dreaming. For me, I have no trouble with control the farther out I go, but I have trouble sometimes with phasing through objects, such as walls, windows, or roofs. Would much prefer a door! |

my thouths about OBE, Astral projection or LD - all this words are just words. Difference is only how we are interpreting what we see (actualy feel). Also we know, that there is no difference for brain what we see in "real" life or in dreaming - the same parts of cortex activated and for our brain all this is real. So its about our dictionary for how we can describe what we feel. I mean, what we see is not what is real, its just a picture in our mind. Its like - map vs real landscape, You know? |

I don't think there is any physical danger involved in lucid dreaming or astral projection. I think that's a misconception more than anything. But I agree that there may be negative energies in the astral. I don't think they can hurt your physical body. |

IMAO They may hurt You only if You will allow it. I mean, they CAN do it only through Your mind, using psychosomatic effect. So if You will not acccept this "bad influence" to Your body - You will be safe. |

About intent: yes it's a bit slippery. I think over time you'll get a "feeling" about it being set. Intent on the other hand is not that hard, we intent to do things all the time in waking life: buy something at the store, remember to do some task. |

I actually had a lucid dream the other night. |

For some suggestions of dream goals, I always like participating in the Task of the Month/Season/Year. If you satisfy the various tasks you get cool wings on your avatar for the remainder of the period (month/season/year). Some of my best, longest, most stable, most fun LDs were when I had a lot of these tasks prepared (worked on remembering them) ahead of time. So once you get lucid, it really helps to have a plan already in place, so you don't just end up standing there doing "duh.....what should I do?". Of course, looking around and exploring things and trying out dream experiments (how does gravity work, etc.) are a lot of fun. |

I wonder if I can just use this thread as a personal update/blog thread. |

Sure, you can use this thread that way. |
