Thanks!

I'll only say Hi and welcome you to the forum oceanblue; however, in doing so you are required to post a minimum of 20 posts. Then & only then may I share with you my knowledge & experience.


Lemmie know how that works out for you.

Thank you all for welcoming me!
I really used to love dreaming and then something changed...fear set in. I had some terrifying SP experiences about hmmm, maybe 20 years ago, that made me scared to sleep on my back, for fear of a recurrence. Only recently have I started sleeping on my back again.
I'll give it some time and practice while gaining some knowlege in the meantime. I miss the awesome dreams that I really didn't want to end!

I used to sleep on my back ALL the time, lol, guess we're the opposite. I haven't had a ton of LDs(only one), but, I always try to keep in mind that it's a dream and that SP is all hallucinations and it's nothing to be scared of

BTW, welcome to the forums and enjoy your stay. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them

Thanks, I will. I'm glad I found this forum!

Just the knowledge that it is nothing harmful and is actually very fun should be enough! The vibrating is SP setting in and this feels awesome to me.

It is also my opinion that OBEs are just highly vivid LDs. There is no factual evidence to support either side but just no that NOTHING about it is harmful to you, even if it were real.

You'll wake up feeling fine.

Thanks, jarrhead, I was wondering what the difference between OBEs and LDs was. The vibrating just seemed to happen spontaneously and I just got a really strong feeling that I was going to have an OBE/go astral traveling. Which can be very fun but I was not ready for it, it wasn't something that I wanted at that time. Now I wonder what would have happened if I just went with it. I guess I just need to remember that I am safe, no matter what. It definitely feels so very real at the time!

Does anyone have any thoughts on dreams in green backgrounds? Like when everything is a varying shade of mid to dark green? What does that mean? I've had a couple that were surreal. In one of them I was being chased by a few people and I ended up jumping to the top of a building to escape. In another one I was sitting in some very fast moving cart (the kind that amusement parks have). Someone pushed it to move downwards and then it made some quick turns at right angles. This happened several years ago, the green dreams are rare for me.

Well, I don't know about your beliefs, and we may not be the same since you believe in OBEs and I don't, but there really is no meaning to dreams. They are just what your mind is thinking about at the time.

An OBE is a dream where you think you've actually left your body. An LD is a dream where you know you are dreaming. Both can happen through SP. The green dreams most likely mean nothing.
