When i try to meditate my mouth feels so uncomfortable comfrtable and keeps on moving trying to be comfortable , how do i fix this i need to meditate for 2 hours so i can astral project!!

Preferably looking for a books of all techniques, mapping of the astral realms, mastery of this practice, or an occultist with decades of experience. Thank you, may you find what you’re searching for. 💎 💎 💎

when you go AP can you see your dead family or relatives?

obviously, I don't have dreams like this all the time, and I've never intentionally had dreams like this, because this quite frankly does freak me out if I were to do it intentionally, but I've had dreams where I can see myself and what's going on around me or travel to different places but recently I had this one dream and it's been in my head for about 4 days i'm not quite sure why it's stuck in my head the way it is but I did look up the building that I saw in my dream. It ended up being a real building with the Egyptian goddess buried in the I guess you could call a tomb it was egg shaped, it was built by an astrologer and in every room you see the stars differently. it also was copper in the room, the whole building. I guess you could say originally I was in class, and the professor said that it was lost, but I had gotten in the group and gone on an expedition, and we ended up finding the real building. There was a duplicate building to this one and the CIA has been using it but this one we found was real and it was sad that the goddess was so powerful and able to control all of the energy. I remember the beds being copper as well and connected to the copper grounds. Every room you would enter sound vibration I'm not quite positive with the exact name is for that, but even just thinking about it now I could feel the vibrations and feel them this dream has just been so vivid stuck in my head I guess I'm just very much curious on what this could mean or be l've always had dreams like this since I was little

I went to bed at 11:40pm and woke up at 01:22am This is what I remember.

I think it all starts with a lucid dream. I appear out of nowhere in a very white place and there are many cups and elegant china, all glass and very white, my mother tells me to look for a cake and when I look for it, there is a mirror, I see myself in this mirror and I see My face was perfect, without acne blemishes and it felt very good and satisfying to see me, I stayed for quite a while. At that moment I realized that it was a dream since my mother was behind me and she was not reflected.

After this I had sleep paralysis since she wanted to move me but I couldn't, the typical one. At this point I begin to calm down and breathe and it is as if something came inside me as a signal to leave my body. What I access and when I leave the body is quite satisfying, but very satisfying, it was like a bodily orgasm and floating), I don't know how to describe it but it was like that.

After that I think I had a dream or something. Then what scares me is that it's like I wake up, but really not. I see my hands and they are long and I can stretch them very far towards a guitar that is in my room. In those attempts to stretch I bring my hands back towards me (with empty hands) and I realize that I only have 3 fingers and so my hand begins to curl like a spiral, to which this hand begins to curl but in a way very brusque, annoying and strong. Added to this is the sound as if my hands were clapping, to which I wake up somewhat sweaty and agitated.

And well I wanted to know if

Is it really astral travel?

Why did my hands shake abruptly? Are they my "astral hands"?

I felt some fear and asked myself, is it possible not to want to do astral travel? And how should it be done?

And finally, I would add that about 2 months ago I had been interested in the AP but I only felt the sensations of floating and I did not fully unfold my body out of fear. It should be noted that it always happened to me in the morning around 8 or 9 am, now that my sleep schedule has changed, it usually happens in the early morning.

PS: I wrote them right after waking up. Sorry if I wrote something wrong, my English is not very good. Greeting

The other day I fell into a sleep, but it was a light sleep since I was still conscious and I felt vibrations. Instead of panicking I embraced it and felt like I was leaving my body and going places. I can’t remember where I was going, I wanted to control where I was going but couldn’t. When I woke up my head kinda hurt, and it wasn’t from sleeping at a weird angle.

If this was astral projection and not a sleep paralysis hallucination, how can I control where I go?

Ok, I've read several entries on SP but still, I'd like to make sure with you guys that what I experienced as my first SP is normal. I was trying to AP last night. Eventually I apparently fell asleep and I had a dream in which I was lying on my bed. I was holding my mobile phone and played a video that was something like TV news. While the anchor was talking there was an overlayed, louder voice that was just saying "blah blah blah" as if mocking the anchor. When I replayed the video the mocking voice wasn’t there anymore. I kinda realized that the "blah blah" wasn’t from the video itself but from a presence in my room which I began to feel near me. After that I woke up with a loud, mechanical, high-pitched ringing sound. That freaked me out. I realized I had SP when I tried to move but wasn’t able to. After couple of seconds I managed to calm myself down. So, nothing to worry about, right?

Please read my previous post for full context!

Okay hear me out! Just moments ago, I woke up from what I believe as a successful AP. Just a few hours ago, I mentioned in my previous post my experience in Dream Awareness -》 Sleep Paralysis - 》 Attempting to AP.

So after a few hours when that thing happened in my previous post, I went on with my morning routine. I felt like I needed to sleep again so I slept again. I again realized I was in a dream again. I did not waste the opportunity to retry AP again. I shouted "DREAM!" again. And suddenly the same thing happened like in my previous post. I saw my room! I could not get out of my body in a way that I'll pop out or float to the ceiling so I tried a different technique.

I tried to roll down the bed. My vision was blurry and kind of flickering. IDK why. I was shocked to realize that I was actually rolling to the side of bed and fell off. I bounced off the impact on the floor. My vision was so blurry and flickery.

I stood up, I felt like there was no strong gravity because I feel like I was floating or some sort. When I stood up, I tried to jump and float throught the roof to see the outside. That's when I woke up.

Please confirm if this is AP? If yes, what are your tips for me to have a clear vision? Why did I wake up?

Thanks!

A couple of times I have astral traveled, but not willingly. Each time has been a phenomenal yet nerve racking experience. Does anyone experience astral guards that try to kick you out of the realm? One time I was flying in a building that looked more top secret. I didn’t realize it until these military looking guards were trying to capture me. The one guard was a woman looking so confused and worried that I had found a way into the building. I was zooming around and couldn’t control my speed either. The other guard was a male and demanding information while I was flying around. I escaped, & I came back to my body afterwards. I’ve dealt with guards every time I’ve traveled. I need some guidance because I don’t want to be impulsive the next time around. Are there any YouTube videos, or books to navigate this unique ability? It would be nice to willingly travel as well.

So here is a little backstory, I work on cars and I usually carpool with my coworkers and one time I woke up late and missed them by a few minutes.

Now, during this weird experience I was asleep (like usual) and then I woke up and they had already left and I got up and started to panic, but then suddenly I woke up again and I’m still laying down.

I’ve never felt anything like this before, and when I woke up in the dream, it felt just like real life.

It was like a repeat of real life.

I have been attempting to AP for almost a week for consecutive days. Just this 3AM, I felt hopeless because I am always having a hard time visualizing things as instructed in guided meditations. (Any tips for this?)

After attempting, at around 5AM, I gave and just decided to sleep once again. Little did I know that this sleep will refuel my desire to AP.

As I was asleep, I was dreaming, I suddenly became aware of the dream and shouted "DREAM!" while in the dream. As a result, everything stopped and white flashing lights began to fill my vision. I was hearing wooshing sounds(Sounds like i'm being sucked into something).

I felt that my body was wobbling. It was so intense. I was scared but I remembered that it was a sign of OBE. I calmed myself down and let it flow. I began seeing my room but in a different perspective. I was laying down sideways facing the wall when I was asleep. But what I saw during that time was my room but I was not facing the wall.

I was overthinking that I opened my eyes slightly that caused me to see my room. So I tried closing it again until the vibrations fully went dead. I opened my eyes and was shocked that I was facing the wall.

I do not know if it was part of my lucid dream that I saw my room then suddenly woke up. or it was me APing but was not aware that I was already Out of my Body.

I'd be happy to hear abt ur opinions and thoughts on this and what Ill do the next time I encounter this again!

So, a couple of days ago I FINALLY had my first AP!! But.. it happened in a dream~

I remember being on this couch (not mine) in a house that I've never seen in my life. I was trying to AP and I got to the vibrational state.

Now, when I was actually awake, I had just read some new tips on how to get past this phase. So I remembered them (in the dream) and I used them. And BOOM! It worked!

I started having this incredible feeling of my body just getting heavier and heavier and then I started kind of letting it behind me, as if I was literally detaching from it. It was incredible, it felt amazing. I remained in that room, and unfortunately I didn't stay in the projection for a long time, because I woke up, this time from the dream.

Now, my question is: was that an AP? Does it count as one? Or if not, is it still a small step towards my goal?~

Thanks in advance for the answers, I'll try to respond to every question :3

I've decided to try out AP as a form of meditation, and I honestly wonder if my cat saw me during it. I didn't go far, just around the house and looking at my physical body, I noticed that I need to do better for him, for me, for us.. I also think my cat saw my spirit while i was OBE, mostly because I think he sniffed my hand to see if it was actually me.

I happened to read and watch about Lucid Dreaming, astral projection, gateway experience, etc quite a bit. I attempted LD and AP in the past but never succeed, although LD came randomly and very rarely the time I did not intend to do.
This happened the day I landed a 15 hours flight, so perhaps this also related? IDK? It was tiring and I could not really sleep on the plane.
Last night I was napping, before that I was dozing in and out while I was degenerately watching random youtube videos/shorts. When I doze, I immediately go in to dreaming state, so I decided to stop watching and nap. I also told myself that I am about to dream, so if possible, know that we are dreaming and go lucid. I think I got into a bit of lucid dream, but then I felt very strong vibrations + sounds. The sounds is hard to explain, but it is in synchronise with the vibration frequency. The vibration starts slow but the frequency get higher and higher. During the vibration, I heard someone else/entity saying in my language (I am Bilingual), "Want to see the next life?". Its sound is high pitch, like a man using chipmunk filter. I did not see it but I was so scared so I woke up immediately, but then I also realise that I may be experiencing AP. So, I tried to force that experience again by going back to sleep right that moment, which surprisingly succeed. I went through the same vibrations and sounds + that entity but it was a bit more friendly this time. This time, vibrations were much more intense and I finally feel that I actually separate from my body, like floating away at the climax of vibration (max intensity). Sadly, I was too excited and woke up.
I tried to have that experience again but failed, I went to a long sleep and woke up in the morning
Today, I tried to get that experience again, by lying down and relax all muscles. I got pass that itching state but never experience that vibration. Although I did feel a bit but I was always too excited and it stop. I spent 2 hours without fruition. Through out the time, I always feel myself and conscious but relaxed, kinda like meditation.

Any recommendation/help are welcome and appreciated. I wanna know how to get to that vibration again, how to safely explore the world once I am out, and what should I do with that entity?
I am thinking of getting to bed any time I doze out when I am at home.

Also by that entity's words, I don't really understand what it is suggesting. I thought he wanted to take my life.

Thanks a lot

Hey so I’ve been astral projecting since I was a little kid and had no idea what it was till my partner told me about it. Anyway one day he asked me to visit him at work and I did and when he asked me what he was doing I was right. It got to a point where he could somewhat sense me there.

Now to the point I’m getting at. I’m not able to see him at the moment or really talk to him but I have this feeling that he really wants to see me or say something.

Should I astral project to him and see if he’s okay and maybe he’ll be able to talk to me about it.

idk much about AP. which book should i read? i cant buy it unfortunately but im gonna print it. i want a book that has good knowledge, i dont wanna ready so many books just to understand it. which book would you guys recommend the most?

Hi yall, sorry if this question is a little strange but:

I just finished active cancer treatment and was wondering if it’s energetically/spiritually safe for me to astral project now? Do I need to take extra protection measures while I’m traveling? I’ve wanted to do this all my life but have never been able to. Is it ok to start now or should I leave it alone since my body is weaker than normal? Sorry if this doesn’t make sense.

 I’ve been trying to project/shift for the past 5+ years now. There have been a handful of times I have almost made it out of my body, for shifting though, I hadn’t had any luck until literally 3 hours ago. I’m off of work today and I was in a funk this morning, I was so tired still but I would keep waking up while still in my bed. It was like this for an hour due to repairs being done on the outside of my house, the noise wouldn’t let me focus or fall asleep until they left and I was able to settle. 
 
  I got comfortable on my side, and started drifting, I was staring in the blackness of my mind, affirming that I could project because I thought my mindset was keeping me back, I distinctly remember my sight “glitching”. Quite literally like a video glitch, static white lines and all, after I could see my hand and arm up in the air, I was still in my bed on my side, but not really as we all know. I could see only the outline of my arm though, and I could move it, it was just so so dark for some reason, maybe because it my first actual times seeing and I need some clairvoyance, anyways, I remember setting my DR, which in perspective is just a sandbox of this reality. Carbon copy except it’s like the most elaborate Garry’s mod tailored to me. To say the least, anything that I would want to happen, would happen, but right in front of you, instantaneously. I wanted Spider-Man’s powers? Damn guess I was Spider-Man right that second. I wanted to be a billionaire and travel with my family, then aid the autobots against a siege against the decepticons? Why not. 

  My issue lies in the sudden fear I felt. After my vision glitching and seeing my arm, the noise. The noise was like I had two f22s at each ear respectively and they turned the after burners on. The feeling of being unstuck finally was kind of unsettling, I didn’t know what to do really and it was so unfamiliar, so I came back. I fell asleep again, it happened again and I still came back because It was just so overwhelming. Last second thoughts like “what would happen to my family, what if they came in and I wasn’t here and they thought I was dead?””what if I can’t make it back?” “What if what this is isn’t really what I think it is and I am actually just dying?” I don’t know.

Sorry for the long post, but it was just so much for me in so little time. I so wish I just pushed myself to finally go, but I couldn’t, any one have any advice?

All my life I lied to myself that it was a dream 🥲but it was astral projection when I was 9 year old It was 2012 , I was in first standard , it was around 6 Am I was sleeping 😴, dreaming I guess , my father said to me " don't you want go to school today " I said that I am dreaming.

He said : what did u dream about . Me : I see grandfathers Cow gave a birth to a calf . The calf is roaming here and there and it's dark it's 4 am .

After this I went to school . When I came back , I got to know same things happened already in real life . My parents and I believe that my dream came true .

Now I realized it was my Astral Projection. I was seeing things from above too.

There is a time variation, I was seeing things in real time at 4 am but I told my parents as if I saw a dream at 6 am

All my life craving to AP but I had it already 😩. But as you know from my recent posts I did it few days back too 😄

How do you induce sleep paralysis to AP?? I have natural sleep paralysis episodes often, but i always forget the task at hand when it happens, so I want to try to induce sleep paralysis, while I know my objective is to AP, instead of falling asleep and forgetting. Everytime I try to induce sleep paralysis, I end up just laying in bed still as can be with my eyes closed for hours with nothing happening. No vibrational stage, now woosh sounds, nothing. While I try inducing sleep paralysis I do try to focus on the sound that naturally comes out of my ears, but it never gets louder, and stays quite soft the whole entire time. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong 😭😭 please help!

So I woke up at 6 am this morning, these past few nights I've been trying to astral project but haven't had any luck. I tried going back to sleep but then I thought that instead it would be a good time to try to astral project since some guides I have listened to said 3-6am would be the best times to do it. I have a really hard time meditating because my mind is always racing and having all kinds of thoughts running through my head. I decided to put on some binaural beats which hasn't been helpful to me in the past, but I was laying on my back, eyes closed, trying real hard to clear my mind and trying to only focus on the beats and nothing else. My body eventually felt really heavy, I heard some noises in my room which scared me a bit and I think at one point I tried opening my eyes to see what it was but I don't remember. I reassured myself that hearing things while trying to AP is normal and that I'll get passed it. I kept going, then I hit the vibrational stage, I got excited and stayed calm to try and keep going. I let my body vibrate and I heard noises which could've been my binaural beats but it sounded way more enhanced and a little different. Eventually I started seeing things while my eyes were closed, I saw a face and it was distorting and changing, it looked really upset and distressed. I saw some eyes pop up around it too then I saw some sort of text pop up also near the bottom left of the face?? I was trying hard not to focus too much on the face and eyes until I saw the text and then I started to focus on it and read it. The words were changing, upside down, and overlapping over eachother but the only words I could make out were "Help me" (i think?) which really freaked me out, thats when I came back and I woke up. Was this almost me AP'ing? Is there any advice that'll help me not freak out again?

So I had a small experience this morning. I was flying around my neighborhood and thought about going to a different timeline or universe to see another version of my self. When I thought about that, a black tunnel formed. I went through it and started to hear a baby crying. The further into this black tunnel I went the babies cry got louder. At the end of the tunnel I landed in a kitchen. I could feel the cold floor on my feet.

I notice people in another room where I can hear this baby crying. I try to walk but feel something weighing me down. (I’ve felt the same thing before of the feeling like something is on my back weighing me down making it hard to move forward.) I look into a reflection of a kitchen appliance and notice something is sitting on my shoulders. Like I was giving this thing a piggyback ride. I told it to get off me. I reach up and grab it off me. It looked similar to a small child. Maybe like 3 or 4 years old but this thing had blue skin and dark hair. I woke up after that.

Definitely weird. Not scary. I wonder if this thing has been catching rides with me sometimes when I AP or if other entities have been? Also am wondering where I ended up. Did I get to another timeline? And was that my baby crying? I will definitely try to go back to see, next time I’m able to.

I have the idea of having developed tinitus 😬 I realized this only yesterday evening. At first I thought it had something to do with the vibrational state and I would hear it when I would think about APing (intending it/focussing on it) but now I'm hearing it al the time. Is this normal for people who just started out APing? When in silence I continualy hear a very high pitched tone. Like with the old tube televisions, where you could hear them being on even in the next room...that same high pitched sound my parents never could hear, but my brother and sister could.

1 thing I read about tinitus is that it could come from straining (not sure if that is the right word) the brain to much.

For context:

I'm a middle aged man. I'm listening to binaural beats/hemi-syncing for hours a day (normal to low volume), learning myself how to jugle, and to write with both my hands, next to all the normal activities of the day and supressing chronical pain I have had from the age of 6 with sheer willpower, to some level (it has become something I do subconsioucly). I know my doctor won't make these links, but maybe you people have some insight, idea's, tips I have not thought about.

I wanted to share my recent experience to see if anyone else has ever had a similar one. For context I have never came across this subreddit before and had never heard about any techniques or practiced AP before. I have been aware of lucid dreams and do it on accident about once a month.

I was in and out of sleep with my newborn, so I was extremely tired and in and out of my dreams. At one point I was lucid dreaming and decided to fall straight backwards into water. As I did this my dream goes away and I’m just laying floating in water and my entire body goes sort of tingling sensation. I start doing back strokes and change the water to a different media like almost a different dimension or form or water, it’s hard to explain, almost like a video games idea of water in a way. When I do this I feel something warm ( like a mothers warmth) and lifting me up, but I also feel like my heart won’t handle it and I’ll most likely die if I continue. I wake up.

I fall back asleep and instantly fall back and swim again, experiencing the same concern that I may die, I wake up.

I do this one more time but this time I was at peace with dying and everything happening, at this point I feel my body starting to float above my bed very light feeling and it was euphoric, I wouldn’t doubt it if i was smiling in real life. I remember thinking that I was about to leave my body and look around but then I woke up. After reading a ton of stuff on Internet I can’t help but think I almost AP and now am super interested in the topic.

Is the thought of dying right before AP common?

They all lasted about a minute max. from seperation to waking up. Last time (4th time) my astral head was still stuck inside my physical body while the rest was out. I had to strugle a little bit and then quickly and effortlessly floated away trough the bedroom door and diagonally through the ceiling. I was pretty amazed at how effortless it went, because last time I was practically blind and had no idea where I was (felt like moving through the ground like an earthworm) and the time before that (1st time intentionally) I was sort of crawling over the floor getting away from the pull of my body.

I was still inside our house after floating through the ceiling, although I was not where I thought I was locationwise. I thought I was in my wifes study/office room, but I wasn't...which makes sense in hindsight when retracing the path I took. I was to focussed on getting away from my body and trying some things I had not tried before, because previous experiences where too short. I was in my sons room, but only realized after asking and commanding clarity. I had to repeat in multiple times before it worked and at some point I had the idea I was in 2 places at once; my astral body and my physical body. I had the impression of experiencing myself in my physical body speaking: ,,clarity", but I also saw my lips move through my physical body's closed eyes and at the same time I was where my astral body was, at this point from the first person. From a dark room it turned to a brightly lit room and saw the wooden beams that are in my sons room, but I only saw it like I was looking through squinted eyes. I woke up at that point. Content with the experience so far. It felt like a huge step of progress from what I experienced before. First time floating, moving through a door and a concrete ceiling and able to test out the clarity command.

But still I have some questions. One is; how can I make the AP's/OBE's last longer than a minute or so?

can we get rid of addiction using Astral projection? if yes how?

Hello! I unintentionally AP tonight and I ended up in a grey room or place. It was empty, except for some weird white objects. I was floating but paralyzed and couldn’t speak. At a certain point I realized I could create things there and change the objects, for example I changed the shape of one of those and it became a statue. Everything was giving me “ap tutorial” vibes. Finally I was able to move and I floated through what seemed like a frame and ended up in another place, super colorful, it looked like a painting. There were people there and several rooms. Any idea what it was? Also, does anyone have any tips or experiences about being paralyzed while astral projecting? Thank you

Idk what to call this so I decided to post it here and in lucid dreaming because I don’t know which one this is, I fell asleep around 10am and dreamed of my boyfriend, I remember exactly what he said to me “your not a horrible person, your amazing” and I looked away and slashed my hand Thu the air where he disappeared. I fell back into my body(?) and started floating, floated up to the ceiling and then fell back into my body, where I then woke up. My question is, what just happened to me, and how do I “float” like that again? It’s was euphoric, like I was tripping, but while in a dream. I want to be able to do that again.

This is insane i didn't know we had that power! this implies astral projection can actually be our subconscious detecting electro magneticfields or energy wow!

It can also explain remote viewing, that people have extra unknown senses

Scientists are saying our acenstors could've been using this ability to navigate

For instance, many species can sense natural DC magnetic fields in diverse ways including: migratory bird species (38, 39); numerous insect species including honey bees (40, 41); fish (42–47); mammals (48); bats (49); mollusks (50), and bacteria (51, 52).
