Cant move trying to project before dream

jacob99

The other morning when i had nearly woken up but was still half asleep i decided to go back to sleep, and as i had read somewhere it was sometimes easier to astral project when your mind was in a more suggestive state, between the dream and awake states. Just as i began to dream i was aware and decided to focus on trying to astral project. I just thought about it and suddenly felt this strong pulling, (not pulling out of body) like increased gravity for example and a wooshing noise. This has happened before in a similar situation, but i stopped it and woke up. This time i let it happen, and after a short time the noise decreased and i felt like i couldnt move. I almost panicked and then woke up.

Im just wondering if this is actually a dream or not? because i was aware of what was happening the whole time.
Any thoughts on this would be great to hear.
Thanks  :)

You just used a great technique for Astral Projection - Wake Back To Bed Technique, This technique is really very helpful for OOB & you have achieved it half without knowing it,

Regarding the wooshing sound & increased gravity: Don't worry this happens before Astral Projection for everyone, This is really helpful to get out of body, Don't get panic at this stage, just stay calm, if you feel ok, then just try to get out of your body.

Okay thanks great to here from you.

As for getting out, iv read so many things, can i just think myself out? Because when i tryed to move i couldnt.

Sometimes you can just think you are out, so that you will be out, else you can try to move, if you can't move any part of your body, wait & relax, calm your mind, you can easily exit.

Jacob, many people hear noises at exit time: buzzing, whooshing, banging, etc. It's very common. Sounds like you have reached the stage of paralysis. That's good. It means that you are nearly ready to AP. Stay calm and relaxed and in due course you should be able to AP. Some people use techniques such as the "rope method", whilst others just float out gently and naturally. There are no rules about this. It all depends on the person.

Warmest best wishes!
