Astral Projection

So, I originally posted this in spirituality forum and I thought I might get some more replies here. A few days ago I had my first astral projection, I didn't do much, but I saw alot of things and noises going on in my room before I woke up. I was able to look down at my sleeping body. The one I had today, I went in the kitchen, saw brother with random person I know then ventured outside. Everything was different outside Basketball hoop was like 15ft tall and the roads were very wide. Sky was pretty dark elwith with strange looking clouds. I wanted to go down to the park I live by but I think I woke up because I shut my eyes while projecting. I pretty much hobbled down the street and had some sort of backpack on. The cars were completely different white looking things and they didnt seem to have wheals.
I am curious as to what books, videos, anything that I can learn more about this experience. I heard you can basically portal to anywhere you want. Yet all I know how to do is float around.
I should mention I am only able to do this about two hours after I wake up.

thanks.

This looks more like a standard dream. You were carrying some kind of burden. Maybe you feel that way in real life. Some things were out of reach. You can not go any where in those white car things. This dream might relate to how you feel in real life.

Makes sense but these definitely arent normal dreams. theyre extremely vivid I can go whereer I want and Im only able to do it after I wake up in the morning. I always wake up in my room. And im able to feel my body come out and see myself sleeping.

Hi Christopher1990!

I'm with Thunder Bow. It sounds to me like you are lucid dreaming, or something similar. You can control what happens in a lucid dream. Astral Projection is different, and not recommended if you are not properly trained for it. It can be really dangerous! Are you on any new medication? I just started taking a new med recently and I have been lucid dreaming like mad! It's so much fun! Try thinking about what you want to happen, and it just might!

Cheers

Hi Christopher,
That's great you were able to have an OBE. When many people have an OBE they go into parallel realities or realities where our reality is formed. These realities don't always exactly match up to the reality the person is coming from.

There are many places to go to learn more about OBE et al.

First, on my website, Learning From My Dreams | Dream Interpretation ? Learning, there is a resource section with lots of links to many different OBE explorers.

Next, there you'll find a link to the Monroe Institute. It was founded by Robert Monroe who was a wealthy business man in the 1960-80's but he had a problem...he kept leaving his body. The doctors checked him out, told him he was fine and then began his adventures!

He formed the Monroe Institute to research out of body experiences and then wrote three seminal books on this. He's now dead but the institute continues.

On my website you'll find links to William Buhlman, Robert Bruce, Annie Besant, Tom Campbell and many more. So...you are not alone with your experiences!

Best wishes for many more OBE experiences!

With kind regards,
Guy
