Who on this thread has interest in Astral Projection and Lucid Dreaming? One of my curiousity little side hobbies is studying why our mind works the way it does and why things like Astral Projection, Lucid Dreaming, Intuition Communication, etc can happen to people. I'm just curious who else is into that sort of thing.
In the past 5 years I've had multiple episodes happen where I'll wake up in the middle of the night and turn around to see myself still asleep in the bed. The first time it happened I woke up to find myself floating above myself and staring back down at my physical body on the bed. It really freaked me out and I felt like I dropped and opened my eyes to find myself sweating and sitting up suddenly in my bed. I think the reason why I freaked out is because previous to it happening to me, I was always a little more close minded to that sort of thing. It felt wayyyyyy too real to just have been a mere dream.
I started researching a lot afterwards and read that this is a common experience that happens to people. They call it Astral Projection or OBE (OOBE). Personally I've never been one to really believe any of this sort of thing until it actually happened. I can't deny that it can happen now and being the curious kind of person I am, I want to know more.
Lucid Dreaming is even more common. It's the state in a dream in which you become aware that you are dreaming. In that lucid state you can alter things in your dreams and experience whatever you want.
The third is Inuitive Communication. I found a book called "Learning their language" by Marta Williams. It's about learning to communicate with animals by way of intuition. Curious if anyone else knows anything about how valid this way of communication can be. I know that when I was a kid I always thought that I could communicate with any animal around me, but as I've gotten older I've really been brought up so much in logic and reason that I have a hard time understanding intuitive communication.
Woah... sorry for the really weird thread here... it's just been on my mind a lot today because of last night:
I was lying in my bed just resting with my eyes closed. When I was fully relaxed I felt my body vibrating and heard buzzing noises in my head like bees swarming. I also felt like someone was spinning my body on an axle. I couldn't stop spinning and it was making my mind dizzy. As soon as I felt like I was becomming really lightweight and possibly going to astral project, Goober jumped onto my stomach and broke my concentration... he looked like he had just seen a ghost. I couldn't get back into that relaxed state after that.
I guess I'll go ahead and make this thread for people to discuss the strange things that have happened to you that are hard to explain, etc...
