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...(continued)

no matter what teqnique i try or how i do it, my body willl not fall asleep. This is the only thing holding me back, I was wondering if someone could help me with this.

My take - backed by a few years of experience in those matters - is that the perequisite to achieve success in astral projection is to strengthen the imaginary/subtle/astral body. In other words, the exercises that target this supposed body do lead to visionary experiences such as conscious (lucid) dreams and "astral projections", while merely teetering on the brink of sleep doesn't.

In one of my earlier posts, I gave a link to one rather dangerous but nevertheless effective exercise that comes from the tradition of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (http://www.wisdomsdoor.com/wb/hwb-mpe.shtml). The exercise used to work for me in the...(continued)

If you sleep at 8AM, keep an alarm so that you can wake up at 12 or 12:30. Just be out from bed for 10-15 Minutes.
Go to bed again, If your earplugs are not working, just download some binuaral beats and put it on head phones.
So, you will be not disturbed by the noise :)
And, use some techniques which always work for you :)

let me know, if this works :)

Hi :)

Actually head must not be placed in the north with feet in the south. You can keep the head in south with feet in north. If ones head is in north and feet in south, then he is facing South. As per Indian traditions South is the direction of Yama (God of death) and only a dead body must be placed in that position. Also if one is sleeping in the north-south direction, it is in line with the earth's magnetic field and will create disturbance in human bodies which has high iron (hemoglobin) content.

Hope this helps :)

I tried many, But nothing was much good :)

Ya, Because when I started practicing the Astral Projection. I came across something called Rope Technique. But When I tried using it, The rope was bundled to the ceiling and I couldn't reach it too(Bad Imagination :P ). So I don't try that technique :)

Eye patch is really useful, coz when you are sleep paralyzed. If your eyes are slightly opened, You see some objects in your room which may make you get scared. So Its good to wear eye patch.
