Also just realized I was OP...that was my beginning days and I no longer fear any of my dream states

Don't get caught up on the means to the end. Don't get too excited with becoming conscious. If you wake up, oh well, you still became lucid. It takes practice..enjoy it while it lasts and it will get better w time

Don't underestimate your imagination. Either imagine yourself already out, or just get up as if you were awake. My first couple times projecting, I thought I was fully awake and screwed up..really I was out of body

Naps

they are so similar. Astral is consciousness at the beginning, lucid is during a set scene

Setting a solid goal I can keep focusing on should help tons. I noticed if I would smoke bud it may be easier to enter that state of complete calmness but to actually "push" myself into sleep paralysis and beyond was near impossible XD Thanks Praveen! Your responses are always useful

Sup jat.. I'm down

if u tell me what he is for you maybe bf, i know what happened. and tell me the ''long story'' because i think I can help.

Sorry PeacePoiProsper, Allison Onisal, Sway. I just got carried away by Summerlanders useless arguments.

@Sway: Keep an intention before you try Astral projection, it will usually help you more. Try using some of the exit techniques provided earlier in the forum, it will help.

Here goes the Astral projection exit methods.

Let me know if you need any help.

But dude is real
