Trying this method of getting to AP I can LD with mostly success but heard that when you try to AP in a lucid dream sometimes your really in the dream so if anyone has some tips that would be helpful

I know this question was probably been asked a million and one times but here we go.

I have had one sleep paralysis before, and also had the feeling of nearly getting out of my body a few times before, but I know I could do it but at that time in life I was scared too.

So I know it is going to happen when I feel the "vibrations" and get the whirling sounds in my ears, the question is how do I get to that state? I don't know how I have gotten there before and I can't bring it on?!?

Anyone got any advice on what i could do to push myself to that point again please?

Is there someone who does hypnosis sessions for astral projection?

So I was asleep and was dreaming, I realized it was a dream and woke up from it. I didn't try to do anything but I think I launched straight into the vibration state. I have an air purifier in my room and the sound to my hearing cut out, I heard what sounded like a loud static noise and I felt the vibrations start from between my ears and encase my body. Obviously I got startled and fully woke up, is this normal? What should I do when it happens? I have only done the Gateway Tapes up to advanced focus 10, usually not reaching the vibrational state. Am I going to experience this more without even trying?

I’m having trouble with achieving AP through meditation. I’ve been meditating for 1-2 hours, sometimes even 3 hours and nothing happens. I try doing the noticing exercise and some fleeting shapes appear in my vision after 2-3 hours but nothing more than that. I’ve heard people say you need to clear your mind, which I suppose I have not been doing. I just focus on my breath and try to notice shapes in the blackness of my closed eyes. Is there something I’m missing?

So last night I tried astral projection, I kept my head propped on some pillows and layed down without moving for around 10-15 minutes, I started to notice I was falling in and out of consciousness and I was tweaking and then I moved my hand and it felt like I moved it but it wasn’t actually physically moving, I could’ve been dreaming partially when I thought I moved my hand but I’m not sure, I got a little freaked out and decided to stop, was I close to astral projection? Any advice for my next experience?

Almost! (I think)

So yesterday, I tried APing for the first time.

I had two vibrations, the first one, I didnt realize at the time, but the second one was so intense/strong, that I knew about the first one. I felt so much energy flowing through my body.

I was facing down tho, the tricks I had read about making the push to project, was to think as if you sit up, but what to think of in a face down position? I tried to project but could not, still, happy with that progress given my first legit try.

Interestingly, I also had both vibrations while facing down, probably because I feel more comfortable in that position, given thats the position I usually sleep in.

Techniques I used:

• Mindset - "set my intention" to AP
• I followed the advice of not moving at all when you wake up in between sleep cycles
• I cant remember where, but I read somewhere to say "FA...RA...ON" in between exhales, has something to do with vibrancy frequencies, so I was doing that, although not all the time.

My questions to you are:

• Do you AP a lot from a face down position?
• What happens if I open my eyes when vibrating? Would I lose the chance?
• What happens if I actually try to sit up rather than just imagining it? Do I lose the chance too?
• I think anyone would like to think their energy is strong or something, does my vibration say anything?
• Do vibrations consume energy? Like if I have a intense vibration, I have to "recharge" before I get a good chance again? I would like to try every day
• What are even the triggers for a vibration?
• Any recommendations on what to try next?

Last night I decided to try and AP I was laying down and just letting myself really relax and weirdly enough I started to have the blackness behind my eyes become 3D and I saw some lights of very faint purple and blue hues so I think I was very close but all of a sudden as this was happening my chest had a thumping that felt like a heart beat and it was going fast. Now I come from a medical background so I know my heart is fine physically, and that the rate it was beating I would have physically felt out of breath or at least unwell but it was as if my heart was going 200 bpm.

Now I come here only because when I looked it up there was two things I saw.

1. It’s energy of some kind that’s leading to the AP vibrations.

2. You are hypoxic and or have a bad heart. 😂

So what’s the consensus about this feeling, is it my heart giving out? Or is it a good step towards AP?

I had an incredible astral projection. I couldn’t wake up and was bored, so I decided to visit a friend. I thought about her, closed my eyes and felt myself going somewhere else. However I wasn’t specific about what version of her I wanted to see, so I opened my eyes and found myself in a castel with a woman which I KNEW it was her. She was torturing me with something. I had to put it in my mouth and talk, but talking would hurt my tongue and cheeks. I went away and saw multiple lives spent with her , while a voice (who?) told me “this is happening in every reincarnation until you learn”. I was shocked. When I woke up I told her and she confirmed she had seen herself in a past life wearing the same red dress, in the same castel. She said that when she saw herself there, she knew she was a mean person in that lifetime. If I went there, I wonder if it’s possible to visit whatever timeline and life and year I want. Does anyone have some insight on this? Similar experiences? Thank you 🫶🏻

So I've been trying to AP and LD consistently for almost a year now.

Last night I felt the vibrations (which usually scare me and cause me to forget what I've been practicing) but I managed to stay focused and rolled my energy body out of bed. I popped out of my body, stood next to the bed and could see me and my son sleeping.

I tried to move but couldn't walk, so I remembered some flying LDs I've been having and tipped my body forward to move, with that motion I moved way too fast and ran straight into my OPEN bedroom door, the edge of which hit me hard in-between my legs and caused me to pop back into my body. Throughout the rest of the night I cycled through the vibrations, rolled out of bed a few more times but couldn't seem to move again.

The problem I'm having with understanding this and whether it was real or just a dream, is - when I woke up in the morning my bedroom door was CLOSED, not open like when I APd. It was definitely closed all night too, as I have two kittens that wake us up if not.

So the question I'm asking is, is the Astral Plane a perfect mirror of the physical? If the doors are closed here, are they closed there?

I woke up this morning so excited! My hard work had finally paid off but it's this small detail that's playing on my mind...

If anyone could answer I'd greatly appreciate it, thanks.

Hello everyone! I'm new to AP. I've been meditating for quite a while now but AP is something I just recently got into.

After looking through lots of posts here and researching stuff myself, I figured that it is optimal to practice AP when you wake up. This leading to my call for help... Whenever I try meditating or AP right after I wake up, my mind keeps zoning out and I either get lost in random thoughts and/or I end up falling asleep.

I haven't had any AP experience yet so I needed some direct help to figure out what I might be doing wrong or is it just something I get better at as I keep practicing?

Ever since I was a child I've always had recurrent and very vivid dreams, sometimes they do come true after a year or two. But one thing that I hate the most is that I could astral travel, I never really paid much attention to it and always came back to my sleeping body when I accidentally astral travel.

2023 I had this experience, I accidentally travelled outside my body, (and I NEVER, NEVER go travelling where I could not see myself sleeping) so this time, I decided to maybe just explore my apartment and just hang in that plane for a while. Then I had this sinister feeling that something is coming from the ceiling. I look up and saw a tiny hole, one where you can only stuck your finger in it. All I can see is a black room and I can feel that some dark entity is gonna come for me or at least my body. I panic so hard I wish to get out of the door, but I couldn't turn the knob. I reminded myself that I was in the astral plane and had to get back to my body. My black cat at that point ran to my sleeping self's side and I followed it. As I tried to lay down to close my eyes hoping I'll wake (like I do for most times) I just couldn't. I tried so hard again muttering wake up wake up wake up. And then suddenly I fell but upwards, it was a weird feeling like being ejected off something. The sinister feeling that some "thing" is coming never left and It just felt closer.

The last resort was I had to beat my sleeping self to wake up and that worked. That was when I decided to move out of that place. I was scared to sleep then.

2024, my boyfriend and I moved into a new place. And this place the one that I'm staying right now felt off at first, but then I got used to it eventually. I only had one weird dream of a man standing in my new apartment but it was still in the process of building something like that, and he asked me what was I doing in here, his home. I forgot the whole encounter but never forgot him and my weird dream.

Fast forward a couple months. I had a sleep paralysis. This time I could see that man or at least his shadow outside my window, just watching me. I couldn't move, tried calling out for my boyfriend but nothing came out of my mouth. So I decided I'll try coming out of my body and wake him up maybe he fell asleep or something. As I traveled I could see my boyfriend asleep on the couch. I tried reaching out to him tell him to go and wake me up. I kept trying that 3 times slapping his cheek awake.

eventually he did, and woke me up. He then said he had a dream that I told him to go and wake me up because I was having a nightmare.

He never believes me when I tell him that I could travel. but I think now he does. To this day, I pray to never travel again. The astral realm is scary, it's earie quite and foggy.

I never want to experience that again. Now I'm afraid of sleeping. Had to set of alarms every now and then just to make sure I'm not gonna go traveling or getting sleep paralysis again.

So I woke up earlier then normal this morning and as such I decided to listen to some videos on YouTube about spirituality and indivuality and meditate and it was talking about how we experience our thoughts, therefore we can not be our thoughts we our the awareness thats experiencing our thoughts and "narrating them" to our conscious mind to put it simply , at the time I was laying on my back, with both headphones in as to block out external stimuli (family getting up) and I started to sort of drift off into a like asleep state but my mind is awake and the weird thing was I couldn't feel my entire body as i normally would be able to, it felt as tho my head was a sphere or what I presumed to be a sphere of pitch blackness and I felt as if I was just floating in darkness but I couldn't see or feel any part of me and it just felt as if I was an energy, I could still hear the video too

Okay, so in theory it's probably a bad idea, but what about in practice? Has anyone else here done this?

It came about because I was involved with the being in question on the astral and I felt him pressing on my mind during a certain act, and I let him in. I heard him say, "There you are." I'm not sure how far I let him in (some way, but not all the way, I think).

He told me later that an energy exchange had taken place, and part of him was a part of me, and part of me was a part of him.

I hadn't intended to let him in or get quite so entangled, but I feel good about it. I don't want to change it, but I know if I was to think of things rationally, I probably would never, ever let anyone in. I feel better about it because he's a god and I've interacted with him for around a year now, compared to if he was some random entity.

What are your thoughts? I know this all sounds a bit crazy. It's possibly because it is. :P

So I'm not sure what happened this time but the other night I remember being asleep and I don't know what happened but I jerked myself out of bed sort of like a kip up. Only thing is that I thought I was awake but I wasn't. It's hard to describe but I had the same feeling as before, being weightless but I still couldn't really move. I sensed? my body was still there but I didn't feel like I was in my body. It's only been happening sporadically but the fact that I know it's possible is making me want to experience it more. Oddly I'm not afraid. It's making me question things that I felt like was always in the back of my mind but didn't know it until now.

Hey y’all. Just had a quick question on this that’s been bugging me for a little while. It’s been on my mind a lot lately as I’ve been trying to project, and I can’t seem to find much about it on here. I know this has been asked in a different way before, but I want to understand it in the way that’s concerning me. The first time and only time so far that I have projected, it felt really cold. As this only lasted 10 seconds, I really didn’t have the chance to leave my body or really comprehend much of what was happening. When I leave my body does the sense of temperature kind of go away? I live in a cold climate and I wanna go outside lol.

Hey guys, im kinda new to astral projection, i have had 3 accidental projections however i cant consciously induce one. I have been trying multiple ap techniques but one that caused me to ap midway through sleep was Xanth's noticing exercise. However i cant seem to replicate the phenomena described in the guide and havent been able to ap consciously. For those who have tried this method, what do you guys see and how do you get the ball rolling on the noticing because im always stuck at the blurry clouds phase, although i notice changes i cant get further than that and havent felt the 3d blackness/zpc. Help would be appreciated. Thank you

Has anyone met their spirit guides yet? I’ve met two , once being in a lucid dream and once an astral projection.

I’m looking for someone, they would understand what I mean when I talk about someone controlling the dream state, keeping us in a dream when we get lucid, so we don’t become aware. The dream entities hate it when you become aware. I astral projected today to see that our consciousness is being held, my spirit guides told me to meditate in the astral, so while out of body, and get out of the astral body to “see”. If you astral travel and lucid dream constantly and are not afraid and you understand what I am saying, send me a message!

now, i’m a hindu but at the time when this started happening to me i was 14 and agnostic. i think i remember the first time it happened was when i was in my bed room where i took a nap. i remember i “woke up” in the dream in the same position i was sleeping in and was stuck in way. i was stuck seeing the last thing i saw before i fell asleep.

i was panicking and trying to move but i couldn’t but for some reason i just knew i was asleep. after this incident its like these dreams evolved more and more into feeling like i was in creative mode with life. at first i haaaaated this feeling cause i could not control anything or move, but i slowly started learning how to “leave” my body and start walking around while still seeing the last thing i saw before falling asleep but i could feel myself walking and interacting with others.

the last time i had a dream like this i was able to fly i believe. it slowly moved form me being able to move around, to walking around, biking outside, and then visiting space and talking to people. it was beautiful. i haven’t really talked or thought about these episodes cause every time i do im either called crazy or told that they’ve never experienced this in their lives.

i think i’ve experienced this like 60 times now and since i turned 20 it doesn’t really happy anymore. don’t really know what the make of it 🤷🏽‍♀️

So I’m laying in bed, music playing, and I get that feeling where it’s like I feel everything and my body is just still..after a while I can tell my body isn’t asleep which it never does, but my mind starts to wander as if it’s asleep, I had a conversation with a cartoon character I’ve only ever seen bits and pieces of in short form media like reels or TikToks. I tried to focus in on it once I realized I was doing that but I lost it immediately. The next one was probably a mix of wishful thinking and something else, but I was just watching myself get pulled into a blue sky by this chain or rope. I was watching from my grounded body and I couldn’t get into my airborne one to see..but I just kept going up and yet my perceived distance never seemed to change after a certain point. I still had a feeling my airborne body was moving though. I’m sure whenever I am able to enter sleep paralysis I will get it but I can’t seem to get sleep paralysis.

Oh, another weird thing that happened early on is that I thought I heard voices that were unfamiliar. They sounded kinda ghastly and there were two voices for sure..there were unidentifiable sounds a while after the voices too so I don’t think my ears were just distorting my parents voices.

Hello everyone.

I heard about astral projection more than 12 years ago and tried to practice it, but I never succeeded and decided to stop. I used to attempt it once every two or three years, but I always failed.Four years ago, I delved deeply into it for months and did many energy and chakra exercises, but I never succeeded due to fear. During that period, I listened to a 20-minute audio recording said to be for relaxation. The recording was private, and I obtained it with difficulty.After that, every time I tried to sleep, I felt a strange sensation as if my soul was trying to leave my body. It was very distressing, so I stopped the experiment immediately and have not recovered from this feeling for four years.

I wonder if anyone knows what this is and how to treat it.

I typically let my dreams come in and out, sometimes they happen in real life, sometimes I feel as though it’s a lesson I’m learning in the subconscious and of course the randoms. I’m a reiki healer and I had this dream I was giving a man a ride to his house. He asked if he could give me a blessing. When he held my hand, I could see every chakra and symbol in its own place literally lighting up under my skin, in their own individual colors. I left and thanked him. When I tried to explore, I could shut them off by grounding and when I focused on each chakra it would light up. It was SO beautiful, it was like seeing what I feel and put my energy in show up in real life. The man passed away the next day and I went to his funeral. His wife could see me light up and she panicked and asked what he did, I told her. She said nothing comes free, he shouldn’t have given it to me. I panicked and that’s all I remember. It was so beautiful but I trusted her reaction as urgent and sincere. I don’t know what to think of this? Any insight would be soooo immensely appreciated! I’d never bother someone with a dream if it didn’t feel soooo very pertinent. 🩷☀️

Hi y'all. I have been practicing astral projection/lucid dreaming/meditations off and on for a few years now, and fairly consistently for the past 3 months. I do a stillness meditation twice a day, once for naptime and also going to bed. I journal intentions and say them out loud. I lay flat on my back, arms to my side or on my thighs, and remain still in body and mind for as long as I possible can. I usually relax so deeply that I fall asleep during naptime and wake up after a REM cycle, but bedtime is where I have been struggling. At first I am relaxing deeper and deeper and feeling good. But 99% of the time it comes to a point where it feels like my body is screaming at me to move. Kinda like that kid in the VR headset whose like "IM DONE IM DONEEEEE". and 99% of the time I move and stretch and just let myself fall asleep from there. Relaxing from this point or shifting my focus elsewhere doesn't really work since this feeling is super overwhelming in my experience. The one time I have held through this feeling it basically wakes my body up and my body and mind feel wide awake. It has probably been 150-200 meditations where this feeling trips me up.

My intentions are to lucid dream and astral project for healing, growth, exploration, and fun honestly. I believe I have projected once in the past 3 months and I have had 3 decent lucid dreams. I know this is a long process and all but I feel like I have been going in circles with this threshold for a while. I have accepted that so far my inner journey has been primarily about trauma healing and becoming the best version of myself I can be. But every single day I imagine dream adventures and where I go/what I do during projections/lucid dreams.

I am super eager to continue developing my skills and exploring deeper and farther. Has anyone had any similar experiences on their meditation journeys? Any specific advice asides from perseverance?

In the last astral projections I have had, there were times when as soon as I arrived I felt this type of dizziness or heaviness in my body. Is there any way to control this? because when this happens to me I return very quickly from the astral plane

Hi, a little while ago I've had an experience that I'm still unsure how to process or what it meant. Over a year or two, maybe even more, not good with this kind of detail but I remember the experience vividly;

I was laying on my back in my bed and felt almost like half asleep or half awake, like a wierd in-between but definitely more in the awake side of things. At some point I felt like I was starting to float over my bed and slowly going higher towards the ceiling, i didn't move my arms, legs or head, didn't try to look back. It felt, or rather it was more like I knew that there was some sort of connection between my ascending self and my hypothetical body I was leaving behind almost like a tether holding us connected. When I looked around my room it was like as if they were underwater reflections on my walls and library. you know when your are underwater with the sun shining on walls and surfaces. When I really looked at the ceiling it was as it the sun was out and I was looking at a blue sky with few clouds from beneath the surface while it was night time. Now here is the really weird part... When I was about the breach the surface(break the water) I saw a blackened silhouette that somehow really made me think of the dark ones from the metro franchise(because of the shape of the head and shoulders with long arms), it just held its hand towards my chest then I heard a thundering ''NOOOOOOOOOOOO'' that sounded almost almost like a boat horn in my ears because of how loud it was and how low the tone of it was, after wich I was slung back to my body, once back in my shell(at least after what felt like that) I literally lifted off my bed like I bounced off it(most likely big muscle spasm that made me jump in my bed). then I tried to leave my body again and I couldn't do it anymore. I counldn't even see any light or water like reflection anymore.

now I'm asking the expert arou d what the fuck happened to me lol? it was the first and last time I felt anything like this, happened a few years ago thank you in advance sorry if my english is lacking a bit, not my native tongue

I also wasn't trying to astral project, didn't really even believe in it before I lived through that

Idk how many of you have listened to bashar, but I love the way he goes about teaching. A quote from him in regards to manifestation I heard that I really resonated with was as follows, “if you insist it should be this way, is actually you insisting that it shouldn’t be better than you can imagine.” In other terms, it means that when manifesting the life you aspire for, you can be in the right direction of how you want things to be, but there is still an aspect of letting go that needs to be in full effect because you can try and “force” the life you want as much as you can, but that is forcing the life you are able to imagine. Take it a step further of letting go (still with the intent of being/acting as your ideal self) and letting the universe work in ways that you couldn’t even imagine. No need to force your ideal wanted reality, just let go, act on your highest passion in every living moment, and watch how the universe will play your life out in ways you COULDNT imagine. We all can sit here and imagine our ideal future lives which is great, but ALLOWING the fact that there are things that can happen that we literally cannot imagine in this present moment is everything.

For context, I've been on and off in my spiritual journey for some time now. There'll be these awesome moments in time where I feel completely aware through out the day and more in touch with myself, usually when that happens i start seeing signs as if I'm being communicated with.. it'll be so clear. Then, each time out of nowhere it's like the frequency I was on will drop and it'll take a while for me to get back to that point.

However, even being as aware as i was trying astral projection never worked for me, and I guess I don't meditate as much as i should either. Any tips on how to astral project? Any specific types of meditation i can be told that will be able to help me? I feel a calling to finally achieve AP but I find myself lost in my attempts.

I tried staying still with my eyes closed for a long amount of time till I get that tingling sensation, trying to maintain present awareness but for some reason I can't keep my body completely still. After 10 minutes my finger or toe will involuntarily twitch, and as much as i try to avoid it it's like I can't stop it from happening.

So last night i experienced the vibrations everyone is talking about. I became lucid in my dream and decided to fall backwards when my attention was brought back to my body and i could feel myself fully vibrating like i was being electrocuted while also hearing this incredibly loud wooshing sound. I wanted to exit my body but i think i either opened my eyes or became too aware of my body which caused me to wake up. Either way, my heart racing with excitement and i was laying there processing what happened, amazed that i finally experienced something. I know this isnt much but im just super excited that something actually happened rather than just waking up in the morning realizing i fell asleep during my attempt again. Im also realizing how most people new at astral projection often mistake vibrations for that numbness feeling you get when staying still for too long. For the longest time i thought that was what vibrations supposedly felt like. Well.. when people say that youll know for sure when you experience vibrations, they absolutely mean it.

So I’ve astral protected 3 times this week. Though each time I’m not able to go far, just around my living room and balcony. It’ll get better as I keep a continuous awareness through the day that way I have more active will power once out of body.

The technique I’ve been using is to feel/transfer sensations from my spirit to a shadow or an imaginary version of my body. Examples

1. Relax into my feet while listening to astral projection sounds (YouTube )
2. Imagine your body and see it fully, but you also wanna fully feel the sensations in your real body as ur Laying down. Now for each part of ur body ur having sensations in, u must mimic those sensations in your imaginary body. Simultaneously.

Example; if ur feeling your toes, also feel the toes of ur imaginary body , or if u have poor imagination , turn the lights off and face ur phone light to the ceiling to create a shadow, u can use this shadow to mimic sensations from ur real body to your false body. When u awake at night, your soul will transfer to the other body it thinks it has , obviously it doesn’t exist so the soul is now out of the real body. Enjoy.
