Astral Projection Forum

Love that big long post. Whenever I'm blind I command my vision to materialize.. then i always see a lamp.. It's the first thing I see when I come from blindness.

Also, when I project and I'm in my house, there is usually a dream character present. I dunno, I ignore the first person I see, because I might question why they are in my house. Instead i cheerfully wave goodbye as I float through the ceiling, not really paying attention to who I'm waving at. Just be happy your conscious for the experience and start exploring the world :)

REM cycle, which is when all of this phenomenon occurs, our brains have the exact activity of waking life, EXACT. Our brains use this time to experiment with alternate realities. There are some really cool documentaries about recent brain and dream studies from science channels, I'll post the titles some time. As far as sleep paralysis and projection..like xanath said, it's very easy to mistake the dream world for the physical world, so why would you question it? I was once standing by my alarm clock after an afternoon nap. As I moved towards the door I questioned my reality. Something was a little off. The second the suspicion crossed my mind, I started floating. I had a false awakening. I used to get those all the time before school, dream about getting ready for school, while in reality I was becoming more late hitting the snooze button. I wanted to tell my teachers, I thought I was awake, I swear!

Sometimes I think I'm not paralyzed, when I actually am. So if I start to suspect I am, I move quickly.

Also, to me it sounds like maybe you did separate. Even if you think you moved your physical body, get up. Get out of bed and do some reality checks. I've had plenty of time when I thought I was awake and in my physical body when all of a sudden I start floating or something.

Thanks Praveen! Great article!

This just answered some of my questions. Great post!
