My introduction to the world of lucid dreaming and astral projection started around May of this year. I was scrolling through facebook and seen a very peculiar photo shared by one of my favorite pages. The photo was some sort of 10 steps to achieve full lucid dreaming. I thought of this as totally just BS, well the picture came with a link to a page containing a video regarding astral projection. I thought it was still just some silly joke going around, I watched the video a second time and realized this was no joke. After that I started researching and reading about astral projection and watching videos. The closest experience I have had was a semi-lucid dream, I believe that is what it is called. About the only thing I remember was awaking and I was in this dream world for some reason an elephant was charging me and I was wearing a full set of armor, right before the elephant hit me, I awoke. After that I kept trying to induce sleep paralysis on myself only getting success twice. I read about astral projection and I still have some thoughts that it may not work. I still try to do reality checks as much as I can probably not as many but I still try.
These topics are something I want to be able to tell my children stories about. I would like to be able to have experience that are unforgettable. Like I said the closest I got to full lucid was semi. I thought I almost astral projected but I have no idea how to exit my body. In many ways I am still a noob, still learning. I am very glad I found this website, if anyone could help me out and achieve astral projection or lucid dreaming that would totally be cool. Anyone can email me so feel free. Any links or advice and tips would be greatly appreciated!!!!
