First LD...quite intresting

[freemind]

This is what first got me looking into astral projection.I fell asleep one night about 2 months ago and found myself walking around in the woods that were across the street from my old house in NJ. The way the woods were was much differnt then it was when I lived there. It looked like it was changed for people to play paint ball. Fallen trees with white splatters all over them and bunkers every here and there. I figured this was because alot of people did play painball in thoes woods includind me and its been about 2 and a half years sense ive been there so it could be differnt. Now I can't quite remember who all was with me but there were at least 4-7 people running around with me. This is where I started to become aware that I was in a dream. The thing that really made me relize that I was having a lucid dream was the fact that when these white wolf type creatures starting chacing us, It wasn't like they were trying to kill us or anything. I could almost feel a strange connection to these creatures But it was scary to see these things. So jumped to get out of the way of one and was amazed to see that I had taken flight about 8' in the air and was floating slowly down. Durning the time I was froze in disbeleave and floated back down to the ground. After a moment another wolf came at me from the side and I gathered my wits back and lept up to the top of one of the pine trees that was near by. While I was up there I noticed this video camera or webcam type thing resting in the trees pointing down at the place were we were supprized. As I looked down I could see a few people still running around with the wolfs. It was almost like they were playing and not in a struggle for life or death. Right after that I hopped over to another tree top and found another camera sitting there..... I can't really remember anything beyond that point. All in all it was enough to prove to me that the astral does truly exist. I had never read or hear one word pretanding to lucid dreaming or astral projection before I had this dream. After reading tons and talking to many people it got me thinking that those wolf creatures were some kind of sprit or being that was trying to (wake) us up from our dream and let us relize that there is more to life... .I dunno...Any input?

Welcome to Dreamviews I'm glad it increased your belief in lucid dreams - which have a strong scientific basis anyway Sounds like quite a dream... How does this lead you to believe in AP though? It seems like what you experienced was a lucid dream, with some predictive guesses Very cool, but not AP I think Anyway, congrats on that Placebo

Well I kinda stumbled onto astral projection while I was reading up on dreams. And from what I know now it seems that lucid dreaming is really just being aware that your astral body is detached and in that "ego bubble" of subconsious images floating around the astral...Am I right?

Err.. I'll let someone answer you on the astral projection side. I'm not knowledgeable on that In my experience, it is a state of dreaming where you realise you are dreaming. The body you utilise is a figment of imagination (in my opinion thus far) I'm open to AP, but I'm not the one to direct answer AP questions Guys? Anyone?

sup metallica fan ;) im not sure about AP i keep my mind open but to truly accept the AP I should be able to see or aknowledge something from a place or a person that i couldnt know and have the proof that it was true

Hi Freemind - if you don't get any AP replies soon, I'd suggest two things for getting an answer: 1) Ask a mod to move this to 'Beyond Dreaming'. PM 'Seeker' if you want to do this 2) Looking at the http://www.AstralPulse.com forums - as far as I understand they're focused on AP a whole lot more than us [EDIT] It seems to be down right now

Oh ive been reading on AP for the past 2 weeks. Lucky I ran into this site called http://www.mysticweb.org/ They offer a 9 week course on AP so ive got plenty of information. Ill look into that site though Placebo, Thanks!
