General AP Info / Discussion What do you think the astral realm is?

17 Upvotes

The more experiences i have, the less I know what to think. I always exit out of my window and most of the time I don’t direct or intend where I want to go. Each time I exit, I’m somewhere completely different. It mostly looks like earth but cooler like sometimes changing colors or animals that communicate. It always starts for me with flying and then landing and exploring. Sometimes it feels like a neighborhood and lately I’ve had experiences in neighborhoods in tunnels/caves.

Am I exploring my own consciousness? Am I interacting with energies that my brain filters as things I’m used to like houses, people, animals?

When I talk to people and ask them what their story is, they generally say they are from there (the astral), some say they have passed and some look confused like they are dreaming.

I had one weird thing happen where i exited and felt like i landed in a hole and could feel dirt and rocks. I couldn’t see and then i felt a hand and the message asking if i want help. I said yes and flew out and was brought into a town in a cave and whoever helped me looked like a pretty young woman who said she was a guide for the realm.

Another weird thing that happened is i was having a typical experience but saw my family and was talking to them (i thought maybe they were dreaming and ended up there). Then one of the peoples faces changed as i was talking to him and i said hey this doesn’t make sense is this even really you? Then the whole environment changed to a dark place where someone noticed i noticed and had people chasing me. Another guide took me out in time and when I looked down at where i left from i saw the whole area was connected and i felt being controlled by a huge dark looking tree.

I know this all sounds wild. I don’t know what to make of any of it. I’m just exploring and documenting it. Other people seem to see lights and energies and ETs. I don’t know what to think or how to interpret any of it and would love to hear if anyone can relate?

Sorry it’s so long. Summary: seeing if anyone has similar weird experiences during AP and how they interpret what they are actually doing/interacting with

General Question Seeing another version of myself. Has anyone experienced this?

15 Upvotes

Yesterday I had a projection where I saw myself in the mirror. The mirror was oval shaped in what looked like a restroom. I saw myself as tho looking in the mirror at myself. I looked a bit different but same age. The feeling I got was that I was seeing another version of myself inside a parallel reality where I exist. I’ve had many projections where I’m looking down on myself but inside the same reality which I’m guessing would qualify OBE, but this one was different in the sense that I knew it was me but I also knew that it’s from a different subjective experience

OBE Confirmation Almost, but not quite and never again

I was lying on my back, had no thoughts of having any type of experiences except a good night sleep. Suddenly I felt myself floating above my body but before I touched the ceiling, My Son burst into my room to tell me my Mom had fallen out of bed! I LITERALLY felt my lighter self SLAM back into my body and I heard myself say the Umph noise out loud! It really hurt! I have heard of you're abruptly interrupted that type of pain can happen, has anyone else experienced this? 👀

last night i tried to AP for the first time, im not really sure what im supposed to feel or how to know ive done it. last night i laid down in my bed( for context me and my brother are sharing a bed rn) i told him that i was going to try to astral project and he was nervous for me. i wasn’t scared because i really want to AP and truly believe its real. but i cant fully believe it unless i try. but i laid down in my bed my room was dark and he was asleep so i closed my eyes and focused on my breathing. there were moments where i felt like i was no longer in my body and that i was in my head, it sounds weird but this is what i felt like. then i realized that the black i was seeing from my eyes being closed was getting blacker, like a wave of the darkest black i’ve ever seen was taking over my eyes and then i swear for a second i saw i blue light come with the dark black taking over my mind. and then my brother moved and i was sent right back into reality. i tried again and after that i didn’t get the blue light again but the dark black was still taking over my vision. but i noticed that if a thought popped into my head immediately i was back into reality. is there any tips to having a quiet mind, or any tips really to AP im a beginner but i really want to be able to achieve this.

Question on How to AP How long should I keep trying to separate from my body during the vibrational state?

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
I’ve been practicing astral projection for a while now, and I’m happy to say that I’m no longer afraid. I actually feel pretty brave and excited about the experience!
I can reach the state where my body feels completely asleep while my mind stays awake pretty quickly.
Once I reach that state, I start imagining myself floating out of my body or climbing an imaginary rope. However, I still haven’t been successful.
My questions are:
How long should I keep visualizing myself floating or climbing the rope?
Should I keep trying for several minutes, or just relax and let it happen naturally?
Am I supposed to feel something specific before attempting these techniques?
Does anyone have tips that helped them get past this stage?
I feel like I’m getting closer, but I’m not sure what I’m missing.
I’d love to hear about your experiences and what worked for you!
Thank you!

Was This AP? Could this have been an astral projection

3 Upvotes

I had a strange dream recently and wanted to ask people who practice astral projection whether it sounds familiar.
I became partially lucid and realized I was on an island I’d dreamed about years ago. It had a main house, an outdoor area, and what seemed like a large party house.

In the earlier dream, it was nighttime and there was a party going on. I felt like I wasn’t supposed to be there, and the whole thing felt unusually real. This time, I was on another part of the island during the day. I couldn’t clearly see the layout, but I somehow knew it was the same place.

While I was lucid, I had a strong feeling that the island was a real place people could visit in dreams. I even felt like I knew its name and location, though I can’t remember either now. I also felt as if I’d been there many times before, even though I only remember these two dreams.

I know vivid or lucid dreams can feel completely real, so I’m not assuming it was astral projection. I’m just curious whether this sounds familiar to anyone who has experienced it.

Have you ever visited a place during astral projection that felt familiar or seemed to exist independently of your mind? If you’ve experienced both astral projection and lucid dreaming, how do you tell the difference?

Have you ever transformed into something else during astral projection? Has anyone seen you in your astral form? Have you ever seen an astral being while you were wide awake?

Almost AP'd and/or Question New here

1 Upvotes

I’m shocked that this is a thing. I think I have accidentally gotten close to AP as a kid without realizing. I would just get bored and picture the earth and imagine how small we are and how big the universe is, still visioning the earth, I’d feel myself gravitate towards earth then something would just take over my body and spring me awake leaving me in a brief sense of panic but that’s it. And I remember doing this on multiple occasions on purpose just bored at night. I look forward to learning more but I’m catholic and gotta do some research lol.

Thought I might add I often use to get sleep paralysis and lucid dreaming unintentionally. Something would always wake me up though haha

Need Tips / Advice / Insights Does being bipolar prevent me from astral travel?

2 Upvotes

Hi. I am 24 years old boy. I intresting spritual thinks since 15. My bipolar medication is necessary for me to sleep. Stopping my medication is impossible. On the second day I don't take my medication, my senses become more heightened, and I can't sleep without it. Would it be sensible to try astral travel on the night of that second day? By the way, I'm a stable bipolar patient.

New to AP I just found out about AP and I'm open to all the advice

1 Upvotes

Here are a few questions:

  1. How long does it usually take to astral project, especially for the first time?

  2. Is it true that during AP you can meet other people who are doing it at the moment and other entities? Or is it just exploring your mind?

  3. Do I need to be laying down on my back and my limbs can't be touching or does it just make AP easier?

  4. Does my body phisically rest during AP?

I have tried to astral project once, but I somewhat have up (I guess I was a bit impatient at the time, but I can fix it). I wasn't moving at all, not even scratching, I was only breathing. I was feeling some "vibrations" in my arms (not literally were my arms vibrating, I don't know how to call that feeling so I hope you know what I mean) and it lasted a few minutes already so I gave up. I will gladly take any advice! By the way, I am already into spirituality – manifestation. Thank you for help!

Was This AP? Thoughts?

1 Upvotes

So, i have tried before and failed at AP. But, I have had an OOB experience once when I fainted and hit my head one the ground. In that moment, i feel like I was given a choice whether to leave or stay. (In hindsight I made the wrong choice, but that's irrelevant).

Anyway, many years ago (maybe 10 or so years), I managed to leave my body in my sleep. I dont know if it was a lucid dream or AP but I was like "oh cool, where should I go?". I couldn't think of anywhere, so, i decided to go to the kremlin (dont ask me why). I vaguely remember flying there. Next thing, im in this random hallway. Now, it wasn't all ornate, but somewhat dated. I remember looming at the pictures on the walls and then went into an office that was a bit ornate in a timelessly dated sort of way. Anyway, I felt someone behind me and turned, then was thrust back into my body.

Now, I started googling the inside of the kremlin. Amongst the pictures of regal opulence, theres a picture that is old, pixelated, of putin, walking down that exact hallway. For some reason, I can't upload it here. Theres also pictures of the office or similar offices that are supposedly inside the kremlin.

So, what's your thoughts?

General Question Intención y atención

0 Upvotes

He tenido varias experiencias a lo largo de mi vida, pocas, he sentido y siento miedo pero de alguna manera se que me queda poco para superarlo.

Me ayudó a tener experiencias la intención de tenerlas, pero no me valió solo con desear tenerlas. Tuve que materializar ese deseo en la vigilia. Como? Hice algo muy sencillo, escribir mi intención en un papel y ponerlo debajo de la almohada y a los pocos días tuve una experiencia. Ahora se que me fallo la atención y no pude sostener esa experiencia. Mi próximo experimento es materializar en estado de vigilia los dos conceptos de intención y atención a través de rituales. Como por ejemplo, crear obras de arte y esconderlos en lugares que produzcan una sensación mágica. Si funciona os lo haré saber.

Tengo la intuición que va a ser la moneda de cambio para conseguir consciencia en el Astral.

Almost AP'd and/or Question Why am I scared?

0 Upvotes

Hey, I know this question probably gets asked a lot but I'd appreciate some advice.

Last night I went to bed with the intention of trying to astral project (for the first time). All was going well until about 20ish minutes id guess into my meditative state or whatever you want to call it. I started feel like my body was becoming weightless so I thought I must be close. Then I began to feel like everything was spinning really fast. Literially felt like I had the spins from being drunk even though I had my eyes closed.

I don't know why but I just became really scared for some reason - even though I'm trying hard to astral project and have been throughout this whole year. My heart started beating out of my chest I could literially hear it I was terrified for whatever reason, all while this spinning was still happening. I didn't give up though. I began thinking to myself "you're fine, you're safe" things like that and I began to calm down. But then it this spinning began to stop and it went back to normal.

I had a previous experience similar to this a few months ago when I managed to reach the vibrational stage - but I panicked and woke up.

How can I avoid this? Thanks
