As far as I know there are different levels of existence that are divided into 9 main dimensions (with smaller sub-levels inbetween) and currently the physical world we live in is the 3rd-dimension. The astral is the 4th (dreams are said to occur here) btw.

The difference between each dimension is unbelievably immense. Imagine a 2-d cartoon living in his little, tiny, level of existence, unknowing of what there is "out there". Now imagine all of a sudden appearing in our realm. He is totally mind-blown as everything has just change for him including a whole new set of rules and physics, he is having feelings and sensations he has never experienced nor could imagine before. Imagine that except going from 3-d to 4-d.

You can't relax because your mind is getting in the way sweetie.... You would be better just to suggest you will leave your body and then go onto just regularly falling to sleep... You mind already knows what you want to do so when that moment comes when you are drifting, your mind will tell you that you are but be careful not to get excited and wake yourself to where you will have to try and fall asleep again... It is more about training your mind to relax... we relax naturally when we don't have a purpose in mind.... Our minds are active even when trying to relax our bodies... mind and body goes hand in hand so you can't have one relax and not the other and expect it will work..... I think peoples problem is they try to hard as I was there, only when I stopped and put suggestions in my mind did it...(continued)

Wow, I have researched this for over a year and never came across this.... I wonder if she is not wording it right... we all face our fears when there... it can be as real as here or more real and free... I wonder if she learned there and applied it to waking life... in other words created a new reality but yet wouldn't have done it without astral travel......  If this is not the case then Calamity has said everything ... depending on what questions you ask you will not know where she stands sanity wise... Good luck , you are such a good friend to be concerned for her..  :)

I haven't, nor have I had a legimate OBE yet but lmfao!!!! WTF, I hope you weren't about to project into a playground hahahaha

Thanks Praveen,
That must have been it.  Strange that the girl I heard was speaking to someone on the other side.  Unless they were talking about me...lol! I'll just take it as a sign that maybe I am getting closer to OBE again.

@ OP

The same thing happens to me. I usually just try to force my body to move and I'll end up moving my "energy" body instead but when I try to force my head to move and stand up fully I'll end up breaking the trance.

People are requested to Vote on which they prefer. Astral projection or Lucid Dreaming?

Astral Projection

I don't think the question, "Who are you?" makes a lot of sense to astral beings for names do not matter or it may not have a name. Maybe ask, "What is it do you want to show me?".

Speak telepathically, it's easier  ;)

Maybe wear ear plugs to cover the noise?

That's my input, hope it helps.

Thanks for the explanation Gunther :)
I read about the Akashic records & thought of knowing my future, But I hope it need more practice.

The interest in Astral Projection, Meditation & other similar things increases only when we start thinks about ourselves, Thinking about the inner-self. I have got some information about Akashic records, Ill shortly post it.

That's awesome, I think I'll try practicing reality checks tonight. I've kinda been relying on isochronic tones solely but I should try those too. Although lucid dreaming and projection has been hard on me cuz I haven't been able to sleep easy because of death threats and the such. I'm trying to deal with it legally but I need to archive the messages.

Good luck to you Chris.

Thanks Darklon & Good luck for you too :) ;)
