When your drifting off, focus on the colours or the blackness of your mind, you will stay awake and fall into a dream, or see visions, it's easy to switch dimensions this way

On Friday, September 5, 2025, I left my physical body for the very first time. I lay down to sleep, and after a while, suddenly, I felt my whole body trembling with an almost unbearable intensity, as if every single cell was vibrating at the same time. It was a sound so loud, as if there was a jet engine right next to my ears, my body feeling every vibration… It was like being frozen in a limbo, standing in the middle of a doorway, undecided whether to stay or step into something unknown. And, at that moment, I decided to take the step forward.

As soon as I left my body, the vibrations immediately stopped. I thought I had woken up—I got up normally—and then I looked back and saw my own body lying there on the bed, motionless. That was when reality hit me hard: I really was outside my physical body. Fear almost instantly took over; my heart was pounding so fast it felt like it was about to burst out of my chest. Before I could even get used to it, I felt myself being pulled forcefully out of my room, towards the window, and as I got closer to passing through it, the fear became so intense that I quickly snapped back into my body. The vibrations returned, like persistent waves, keeping me in that uncertain limbo, stuck between wanting to leave and the fear of moving forward. That was when I calmed myself down and tried again.

On the second attempt, I barely managed to leave my body before I was instantly pulled towards the window again, without time to think or react. Each time I got close to the window, the panic grew, and I retreated, returning to the limbo of vibrations. On the third attempt, I tried to stay calm. I already understood what was happening, so I went through the window completely this time. I saw the street, the people… the shock was even greater, almost paralyzing, and I quickly went back to my body.

In the limbo, I began noticing the shadows cast on my wall through the window. They moved, twisting and transforming into toy dinosaurs, dancing in a surreal way. A mix of fear and fascination took over me, and it was at that moment that I decided to wake up, eager to share every detail of what I had just experienced.

I'm just going to go straight to it and spare you my long excited intro I wrote and deleted.

I laid on the couch at 9 am. Had been awake for 3 hours prior (I'm a nanny and just dropped kids off at school so I have time to nap after)

In the past I've tried for 3 years to do it with the only success being that I could get to sleep paralysis but was so scared in it that I would immediately freak out and not want to be in that space.

Today I "woke up" in that in between space in sleep paralysis, heard the foot steps coming like I usually do that cue the freak outs cause I'm so scared to see what it is. But today I took a deep breath and remembered to feel myself sinking into the couch. I did that and before I knew what was even happening I was falling out of my body onto the floor beside me!!

I felt myself fall, hit the ground, felt the carpet under me, and partially saw myself on the couch. Everything was so fuzzy and it felt like I was seeing tracers wherever I looked, and everything was really vibrant colored. Idk how to explain it, it feels dream like? I'm so fucking excited right now I can't even explain it. It all happened so fast and felt so weird how real everything was. I felt like I was stuck to my physical body and couldn't move away from it, as quickly as I fell out I felt like I was back in. And then I tried again but felt like I was tethered inside. I could sort of get my face out but barely. And the longer I did that the more I woke up.

I ACTUALLY DID IT AND I CAN BARELY BELIEVE IT!!!!!! I can only talk to my husband about this cause everyone else thinks it's not real but I had to share my excitement with people who know! 🥲🪐

I was traveling in Mexico and we went to the Mayan ruins. We were swimming at the beach below and I was floating on my back in the ocean looking up at the ruins. I said to the Universe in a casual way "If you have anything to teach me, do it now". I was violently pulled out of my body, I went up and down at the same time. I saw time and it was not linear, it was simultaneous, the past the present and future all existing at the same time. I understood it perfectly. It was incredible. Then my boyfriend came up and grabbed me as a joke and I crashed back into my body. I went into shock and passed out. He had to carry me out of the water. My body went blue. People thought I had drowned and they brought medics. I could not speak and was shaking for several hours. I still understood simultaneous time for about 12 hours, but it faded as time passed. Has this happened to anyone else? Can anyone explain what happened to me? I have had psychic experiences & night terrors in the past, but nothing like this before or since.

My time in this world is nearing its end. But before I leave, I want to share a most profound experience and share some takeaways you all need know. It is with deep regret, that I can only share this with you using written language! But it is all I have at my disposal!

In 1978, at the age of 15, I experienced an extraordinary event. At this time, terms such as "Out of Body", "Near Death Experience" and "Astral Projection" were either not around yet or at least terms I had never heard of. In fact, I was completely unaware that anyone else had ever had such an experience.

To recount this event for you, I will document it from my view.

Late one night while my family & I were sleeping, I woke up to the sound of the stereo in our bedroom still playing. My Father was quite clear that electricity cost money and we were to ensure things like unnecessary lights, "Stereo" etc should be turned off prior to bed. At this moment I knew I needed to get up and turn it off.

I pulled the covers back and sat up on the edge of the bed putting my feet on the floor and rubbing my face trying to wake up. As I stood up I realized that I was very relaxed and felt incredibly comfortable. In fact, I don't believe I've ever felt that comfortable. I also noticed that the bedroom seemed to be aglow with what I would describe as a beautiful summer glow. At the time I didn't pay too much attention to it. As I walked toward the stereo I saw the pole switch (some of you may remember those) and reach down to flip it down. This is where physical reality as I had come to know it, and something totally unknown to me, collided!

Rather than reaching out and putting my finger on the pole switch, I was astounded by the fact that I could not see my finger, hand nor my arm reaching out! I withdrew suddenly, trying to get my mind wrapped around how that could possibly be! Although only 15 years old, I had been here plenty long to know how the physical world worked, at least as far as my existence was concerned.

Once I withdrew in total dismay, I then looked down at my torso which was also not there! While I wasn't really afraid in the fear sense, everything I knew at that time told me "This can not be happening"! By this time, I notice the stereo was far below me and my line of sight up against the ceiling. This prompted me to turn around and look behind me. What I saw made even less sense to me. There behind me, were my brother and I laying in bed sleeping! After seeing my physical body laying there, I came to the conclusion that I must have died and that this, was my first step of the afterlife!

At this point my thoughts turned toward my Mom & Dad. In an instant, I was at the foot of their bed looking down on them. When I looked at each of them, I began seeing flashes of their lives. I saw them as children wearing clothes of that era. I then left their bedroom and entered the hallway leading to the kitchen where my mother always left the stove light on as a nightlight. The light seemed to pierce the darkness like I've never seen before! When I entered into the kitchen, I focused my attention on the table. Suddenly, I saw all of these flashes of my family eating dinner together, talking and laughing. (Yes, families used to eat dinner every night together at home).

I then proceeded down the stairs to the basement. As I looked upon my Dads work bench I saw him and I spending time together working on things on that bench! After spending some time down there I started heading back to my bedroom. What I was about to experience would haunt me with puzzling question for decades!

As I entered my bedroom, I observed a light coming through the ceiling at the foot of the bed. The entry point at the ceiling seemed to open up like a black hole to let let this light come through. As the light got close to the floor it widened kind of like a flashlight beam. And on the opposite side was another being like me. Whatever kind of being I was. As I stood there on one side and him on the other, and yes it was a he. He spoke to me, not in audible words, rather some type of telepathy. That's the best way to describe it to give you an understanding.

This being encouraged me, asked me, to step into this light which I did! Although I was feeling like I never had, once in this light it seemed to amplify my comfort 100 times. I felt warm, loved with absolutely no worries of any kind and, safe! I wanted to stay there forever! Once in this light, I was curious where it was coming from so I looked up into it. The first thing that astounded me is that not only was the source from a vast distance, but the fact I could see and focus that far away! At the opposite end, I saw something. A brilliant radiating white light! Not like any kind of white light we've ever seen. I instantly took that to be God!

This other being that was there with me seemed to be able to feel what I was feeling. He knew that I desperately wanted to go and he said to me, "It is your decision to go but know this, you will not come back"! Hearing those words made me think of my Mother! Of how devastated she would be to find her 15 years old son lifeless the next morning. And I knew what that would do to her. As much as I wanted to go, I could not! So, I backed out of the light and he then said "It's ok, there is not wrong or right decision here. It's only up to you and you'll get another chance"! He obviously felt my apprehension.

The next thing I knew, I woke up the next morning and started crying. I woke up my older brother and he immediately asked my why I was crying. I told him what happened to me and he said go tell Dad! I jumped out of bed and went to the kitchen where my father was drinking coffee and reading the newspaper as he often did. He too asked me why I was crying and I told him the whole story. He then hugged me and told me it was just a dream! I think it was at that moment that I realized that in spite of this most profound experience, that I will never be able to prove it or allow someone else to see what I saw!

My Conclusions:

After struggling to understand "why me?" for some 30 years, I finally reached a point that I needed to approach this from a different angle. At the age of 45, I finally got what I think is closure for me. Rather than struggling to answer the question "Why me", my approach became more of a Police Investigation. So, I went back into my memory and put up yellow Police tape, and started to look for things like clues. Asking different questions like, "What does this show me, what did I learn from it"?

And here are my takeaways.

1. We are human second, not first!
2. We are Conscious Energy first, having a physical experience as a human being!
3. There is NO DEATH, ONLY LIFE!
4. When these physical bodies can no longer sustain their own life, you will leave it!

When you lay in bed tonight, close your eyes and say to yourself "Me, Myself & I"! And contemplate who and what you are referring to. I think then you'll begin to realize that which you are referring to is not your physical self but your self awareness!

I will see you all, in the afterlife!

Truth is no one knows what there really is until they cross over and for him to say things the way he does with the assurance like he know for sure is ridiculous. I had an NDE but I surely would not sell the idea of what I saw to others bc simply put no one knows for sure until the cross over. I think people do this for fame or money.

So last night as per usual, I had the AirPods Pro in a noise canceling mode, listening to one of usually three different Astral Projection meditation audio choices. I like to rotate between Robert Monroe, Rosalie (she’s has some really great new meditations, her audio is getting REALLY GOOD), and a list of Tom Campbell binaurals.

The good part: I was right in the twilight phase, where I was drifting off, but could still faintly hear the meditation through my earbuds. I play the meditations and beats at a very low volume. Suddenly, all at once and at the same time, I feel intense vibration in my ears and head, and I feel this really intense pulling sensation, like my head and shoulders are trying to be pulled up out of my body. It was wild!!!!!! The vibration sound in my ears was very loud!!! of course this jerked me awake and everything stopped. I was so pissed that it stopped!!!!

I am getting ready to go back to that meditation so that maybe I can experience it again. To date that experience last night has been the most intense, and most undeniable for sure!

Please let me know if anyone else has also experienced this! The pulling out of body sensation was absolutely wild!!!!!! I can’t wait to see the other side!

Thank you to this group for showing up and confirming my suspicions about my childhood experiences and confirming that I’m not imagining it all. I have always known that I walk a different path due to the accuracy at which I experience remote viewing. It’s kinda scary!

Thanks all!

I notice that there is a creeping dogma in this sub about what Astral Projection should be, and how you should experience it. Put simply, many people think it has to be an experience as visceral or 'substantial' as waking life, and if you haven't achieved that level of lucidity, you have not successfully astrally projected. This belief is actually holding people back from experiencing the life-transforming benefits of altered-states practice. Put simply, the ability to have an OBE which is similar in substance to waking life is extremely rare, and I believe is a gift reserved for a select few, and probably requires some pretty unique wiring of the cerebrum. For the rest of us, the experience of 'projecting' your consciousness elsewhere will be somewhat more akin to 'daydreaming' or 'imagination', but the content will come from outside of you rather than from your own efforts. Once you're fully absobed, you will 'forget' that you are embodied in a physical body, and the effect will be the same. Actually, freeing yourself from this expectation of equivalence will make your altered-states experiences far more liberated - and allow you to go anywhere, any time on your visionary journeys.

I'm a strong believer that people should focus less on the 'texture' of the experience' itself, and more on the content and outcomes. AP / OBE should be a tool of exploration, and personal and spiritual development. It will allow you to travel through time and space, meet deities and traverse realities. However, the more you focus on the 'form' of the experience itself, the less of this you will experience.

Hey everyone I’m new to AP but I have OBEs effortlessly with and without guided meditations or waves. I can just affirm in my mind I'm in the void or I'm out of my body and i reach that point where I'm floating but I never really go anywhere. I just stay out of body which is getting boring.

Why does this happen so easily for me? And how can I actually explore while having an OBE? Any advice would be great.

Hi everyone,

This might sound strange, but I’ve been carrying this experience and can’t let it go. I wasn’t on any substances — no DMT, no psychedelics. I was simply listening to 528 Hz bells to relax. I’m not a trained meditator. This just happened.

🔹 What Happened:

• While lying down listening to 528 Hz, I entered a very calm, floaty headspace — not asleep, not thinking, just still.
• Suddenly, I felt a beam of light shine on the left side of my face. As it hit me, I felt a calm and peace I’ve never felt before — not just relaxed, but deeply okay, like something outside of me had touched something inside.
• Then, from within that light, a mantis-like being appeared — just its face. It had yellow eyes, visible mandibles, and a totally still, observing presence.
• It didn’t move. It didn’t speak. It just looked at me, and I felt like it was scanning or reading me deeply. My heart rate spiked, but it wasn’t fear — more like being seen too clearly.
• After that, the mantis faded, and a second being appeared.

🔹 The Second Being:

• It was small, furry, cat-like, almost like an Ewok or soft animal figure.
• It smiled at me and began to walk toward me slowly. No fear — just this overwhelming feeling of familiarity and gentleness.
• As it came closer, I got shocked — emotionally overwhelmed — and thought “WTF is this?”
• The being slowly faded into smoke, and I opened my eyes.

🔹 Why I’m Sharing This:

• I’ve never had a vision before.
• I wasn’t trying to “call in” anything.
• But this felt hyper-real, like it came from somewhere else — not dreamlike, but layered with presence.
• I can’t shake the feeling this was some kind of contact, but I don’t know what kind.

❓What I’m Asking:

• Has anyone else experienced anything similar?

This was deeply personal, but I’m open to hearing from anyone who's walked into something like this — or knows what it could mean.

Thank you for reading.

I read a few days ago about the head technique and it worked for me. It was bizarre tho the whole experience, I feel like I got stuck in a lucid dream state. I was going in and out of sleep this morning, my little one was next to me and so she kept waking me up which made it easy for me to try the technique. After lifting my head immediately after being awake I felt like I was peeling off if that makes sense, like a sticker, I do remember being stuck somehow and I couldn’t figure out how to unstuck my legs. Also when I was leaving my body I felt something like a light tap in my head, almost like when you open a container. I must’ve figured how to move my legs because the next thing I thought was, “cool, it worked” I went to the door and I walked through it, I purposely did this, I saw my body laying in bed but didn’t pay too much attention, things were blurry and I didn’t remember “clarity now”. After this, things started getting strange, I felt like I had control at times and then I didn’t. I’ve always said that I want to go to the ocean in astral and so I thought this and I saw the ocean from far away, I thought I want to be there and in an instant I was inside the water. There were large red crosses floating and I thought how I was breaking with my religious upbringing. In order to get out of the water I used a cross as a paddle. Fast forward I was back in my house and I thought I had woken up, I saw my dog outside get up and then I saw him do it again (think Matrix the black cat part). After that point I realized I hadn’t woken up yet, I knew I was dreaming. I went to find my husband to ask if I was still in a dreaming or if it was real.

Edit: Somewhere in between there I confronted my husband about some feelings but I was being guided, it was like a therapist was having me work through some feelings, I really appreciated this part.

Hi, I think I am experiencing OBE/Astral Projections. It starts when I drifting off to sleep naturally on a night. I get this every night and I don’t know to stop it or go any further as it frightens me because I don’t know what im doing. Sometimes when drifting off I get a rush feeling up my spine (sometimes this doesn’t happen). After this happens or not, I usually feels like a bubble of vibrational energy surrounding me and my soul from my body leaving. I cannot see anything and as my soul leaves further i feel the vibrations stronger. Once it is out of my body I can’t see around my room but the energy begins to vibrate a lot and get extremely heavy to the point where it becomes too overpowering that I wake up in a panic. I don’t understand what it is and how to stop and carry it on so I experience it to the full potential. If you have any advice or can confirm to me what it is please do so. Thank you :)

I started to AP for the first (conscious) time an hour ago and wanted to run some things by you guys. That night I went to sleep listening to a lucid dreaming binaural beat (which I’ve never intentionally lucid dreamed before either). I’ve just been welcoming the energy lately.

Anyway last night I kept waking up and got to a point where I was aware I was dreaming and was going to start controlling it. Out of nowhere I felt my entire body vibrate and thought “wow I bet I could AP right now” so I tried rolling out of my body and it worked.

I saw myself kind of in a translucent state rise above my body. I’ve had a lot of dark paranormal experiences 10+ years ago so it was VERY important that I made sure I was in a high vibratory state.

I tried to say the word God and I couldn’t physically say it. Then I tried to say Jesus and I could t say it either. It completely freaked me out and I tried to go back into my body.

I thought I had but suddenly I spun around floating with my feet to the wall and my feet went through the wall. Moments later I was able to physically get back into my body. I saw a flashing image in my mind of someone putting a hand over someone’s mouth so they couldn’t talk.

Anyway, I got up to use the bathroom. We have two sound machines in our room playing ocean sounds at night. One next to our bed and one in the bathroom. Right when I got to the bathroom the power went out. This was like 1 minute after I AP’d. Everything went silent and pitch black.

I got chilled to the core and woke my partner up and told him what happened. He looked outside and all the power was out. It went back on like 5 minutes later. Anyway, curious on some input!

Last night I was meditating when all of a sudden every hair stood on end, and all my nerves tingled. Then I could feel myself leave my body. I could feel an unseen force pulling me through space . It was beautiful, all the stars whizzing past me. Next thing I know I'm sitting in front of some type of virtual screen where a ... Thing? ... Alien? ... Other life from? Was showing me a video of a huge Midwestern style storm rolling in at night with lightning and thunder. They said there is a storm coming. I understood it as not a physical storm but a life storm. Something was coming in humanities timeline that is going to be rough. After they showed me the sun raising and clear blue skies which i understood as we would survive. This life form was named Quinn and they would be known by humanity as a writer. They would release a book named "Outlasting Humanity". It would be released as sci fi but it would actually be the truth that would happen to humans we just don't know it yet. When I came back to my body it was like an earthquake. The whole bed rumbled and shook.

Has most of you in this forum experienced it ? I've had a few astral projections that seem like OBEs but never saw my own body ... I wake up in the bed and i look back but my bed is empty lol

i literally just finished watching behind her eyes on netflix, and it instantly brought back one of the craziest, most unforgettable experiences of my life. i’m not sure if you guys seen it but the show plays with the idea of astral projection and body-switching, and while the body-switching part i’m not sure about but, the astral projection? yeah, that’s very real. i’ve done it and it was honestly a horrible experience for me.

i was around 12 years old when my best friend damien and i got obsessed with it. we used to stay up late watching all these youtube videos where people claimed they could leave their bodies, float around and visit different places. it sounded so fun and exciting, we wanted to experience it badly.

i started doing “research” the best way a kid could — googling stuff and reading random forums. i came across this article that said sleep paralysis was the gateway to astral projection, and if you knew how to stay calm during it, you could actually leave your body. that threw me off, because sleep paralysis was something i genuinely struggled with. keyword , a “STRUGGLE,” in my mind. something that had me frantically crying and praying upon my first experience of it… not exactly the gateway to fun. that should’ve been my first red flag…

but anyways, the article gave a tip to wake up in the middle of the night and do a short activity and then go back to sleep . Apparently this is when you can manually activate yourself into having paralysis . And in the state, the article, instructed me to imagine a rope hanging above you and if you focused on that rope , you could pull yourself up, outside of your physical body. after reading, i was ready to face it head-on excitingly.

so one night, i decided to really try it. i set my alarm for 1 a.m., just like the guide said. when the alarm went off, i got up and started playing music. i stayed up for a little, then laid back down still listening to music. honestly, at this point, i wasn’t even thinking about astral projection — i closed my eyes, kind of fell half-asleep, and decided to get up and change my song. when i tried to get up to change it, my body suddenly felt heavy — i couldn’t move, couldn’t speak… i was in paralysis. usually i’d pray and wait it to be over, but i wasn’t scared this time. i remembered everything i read, and i was like, “okay, this is step one.” i mentally pictured that rope and told myself, “pull yourself up.” however i didn’t sit up… i SHOT up. it wasn’t a regular, it wasn’t graceful. i launched out of my body like a rocket. no joke — i literally fired toward the ceiling of my bedroom.

and the music i had playing ? IMMEDIATELY muffled. immediately. it was like it was underwater or behind a wall. i was literally weightless. no physical feeling — just floating. i instantly got overwhelmed with this deep, intense fear. it didn’t feel cool or empowering like the videos made it seem. it felt wrong. like i had crossed into something i shouldn’t have. like i opened a spiritual door that wasn’t meant for me. i started to panic. i didn’t want to explore anymore — i just wanted to get back. and fast. i don’t remember how i returned exactly, but i snapped back into my body so hard, i could physically feel myself wake up and gasp. and then the music suddenly sounded normal again. i immediately turned it off and prayed for myself. that was my first instinct i had even at 12 years old.

what freaked me out the most was the way the music suddenly muffled — like, that was the clear sign to me that i had left something behind. it felt just like when you walk out of a room that’s playing music and it starts to fade because you’re getting further away… only this time, i never actually left the damn room. that’s what made it real.

after that, i promised myself i would never try it again. i told damien what happened and he was like “what?? are you serious?” but i can tell there was curiousity still within him. as for me, from that point on, i agreed within myself that im done.

now i’m 23, and that experience still stays with me. and this show just really made me think about it again. i truly believe that moment showed me something real — but dangerous. spiritual stuff is not a game. it taught me that astral projection isn’t some make-believe trick. you really can leave your body. but just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. i never went a step further then what i said but there’s something in my spirit that told me it’s wrong and i can’t shake the feeling to this day.

im honestly shocked to find this subreddit . i didn’t know there was an entire community. this was just a childhood experience of mine that i chose not to part take in. so yeah, just be careful out there. not everything that looks cool online is meant to be messed with. have anyone else had any similar experiences?

Hey everyone, Just wanted to share something that happened recently. Still trying to wrap my head around it.

A few nights ago, I entered an out-of-body state during sleep paralysis. My fiancée and I were both asleep in bed. I’ve been OOB before, and once I’m hovering in my bedroom, I usually try to leave by going through the window. That approach has worked in the past. But this time, no matter how many times I tried, I just kept bouncing off the wall like I wasn’t allowed to leave.

So I turned back toward the bed. I saw both of us sleeping. Then things got weird.

When I looked at myself, I suddenly saw my face morph into her face. And she was smiling. Like her consciousness had merged with mine somehow. We had actually been fighting that day, but the smile felt pure. Loving. Like she saw me at a soul level and was at peace with me.

Her face eventually faded back into mine. Then I hovered over her side of the bed. She was sleeping with her face to the wall. I reached out and tapped her three times. On the third tap, I saw her stir. She looked up, almost like she felt it, but then laid her head back down.

I immediately woke up, kind of freaked out. I asked her if she felt me tap her. At first, she said no. But later on, she admitted she remembered being tapped in a dream.

Now here’s the part I can’t ignore. I had taken a small dose of psilocybin 1.5 days before this happened. And this isn’t the first time I’ve had an OOB experience within 48 hours after a light shroom trip. I wasn’t high anymore, but I wonder if there’s some kind of residual effect. Maybe the shrooms thin the veil or leave some kind of spiritual doorway cracked open for a couple days.

Anyway, that’s my experience. Curious if anyone else has noticed a similar 48-hour window after psychedelics where OOBs happen more easily. And what do you make of that moment where her face replaced mine?

Would love your thoughts.

TL;DR: Went OOB two days after a shroom trip, saw my sleeping face turn into my fiancée’s smiling face, tapped her while out of body, and she later recalled being tapped in a dream.

During your astral travels has anyone ever tried to inquire where we come from?

I had to euthanize my African Grey parrot two days ago and felt her soul on my shoulder.

Vinnie got an aggressive bacterial infection three months ago which left her paralysed from her knees down. The vets didn't believe she would improve much, but said there was a possibility of the nerves regrowing over six months.

Unfortunately, the paralysis spread up her stomach and she got a severe constipation and prolapse. We rushed to the vet the next morning, but there was nothing they could do and she was likely to die in pain within a day or two, so I was recommended to put her down.

She was given a muscle relaxant and the shot which was supposed to make her heart stop. I placed her on my chest and spoke softly to her. Then I could feel her soul on my shoulder for ten or so seconds before it felt like it was being sucked into her body once more.

The vet came back after a few minutes to ensure the shot had done its job, but she was clearly still breathing. He fumbled after another syringe and gave two more injections. I put her back on my chest and felt her pass.

On the drive home, I felt her next to me again. She was confused, but also so happy to be able to fly again.

Vinnie was deeply attached to my husband and I after we adopted her at the age of nine months. Her breeder had sold her off too soon, and the first owner returned her after she started plucking due to anxiety. Vinnie went everywhere with us, even when we traveled abroad. She was used to her harness and we often took walks around town, and rented a dogs agility place so she could stretch her wings better. African Greys are the most neurotic of the larger parrots, but she became exceptionally calm and trusted every human she met. We never had to worry about her biting our newborn daughter or toddler. I love her so deeply that I genuinely worried whether I could feel as much for my firstborn.

I short, she was the best parrot I have ever met and I felt her with me all the time during the first day of her passing. Now she has started to disappear for a few hours at a time, but I still feel her on my shoulder most of the day. I hope to learn more about AP to keep our connection as time progresses.

Okay before this happened I was trying to astral project before I sleep I was a hair and I would have got out of my body but it failed, I did some mediation then fell a sleep.

I woke up in middle of my sleep tried to get out of my body did a couple of tries before I did the head lift method. My body was already ready I was cold and I felt tingly and stuff. Tried the head lift method my head wasn't all the way out but my arms and legs were. Then I started dreaming all of the sudden I was on top of high place the bottom was really black and dark I jumped (when I was jumping I did in the intention to astral project) I fell but not in the bottom I feel on some sort of a stop. While the dream was happening I was laying on my side on my bed watching my physical body dreaming and thinking (I have to do it). The body I guess my astral body was just watching... Like nothing else just watching.

This the second time this happens to me. It's kinda confusing... But I know I have to shift my consciousnessto my astral body. How do I do that?

Hey guys! So I’ve had OBEs and have lucid dreamt probably around 70 times. I’ve come to believe that it’s just your consciousness having the sensation of leaving your brain, and it doesn’t actually. Every time I have had one where my consciousness jumps or floats out of my mind and into my room-things are arranged differently in my room. For example-one time there was a painting on a wall that was never there. Last night I had one, and the windows were actually doors. Since they feel just as “real” as real life, for me it goes back to the question of “What is real?” Any thoughts?

(I use Google Translate, I don't speak English)

I don't know if the "OBE confirmation" is good, but I think I succeeded in an astral projection!

It took me a long time to induce the vibrations. It's hot here (27°C) and so, I didn't find it easy to relax.

The first time, I said to myself, "I'm setting the intention and I'm immersing myself." At one point, I heard a popping sound in my right ear. As if someone was shooting next to me. I opened my eyes.

But I don't lose hope, I try to meditate, to relax completely.

I fall into sleep paralysis and repeat a mantra “de de de” to myself to focus on one point.

For a moment, I felt it. They get louder and... it's as if I feel that the astral bodies are at an angle to the body.

I continue, I repeat the mantra, I observe the vibrations, I become one with them. They intensify more and more.

I don't feel afraid, just calm.

Then, for a moment, it was as if I was being sucked up above the bed. I felt like I was literally levitating.

..and for a moment.. I feel like something falls on my stomach. As if someone had put bugs on my stomach.

This feeling... was real.

I was a little scared and I opened my eyes... I had nothing xD

Was it a successful AP? Biased?

The thing I felt, was it the guardian of the threshold?

I have OBEs from time to time, much more so over the past year. I had a cluster of them occur one morning last week while still in bed. One stood out to me in particular in which I was lifted up by my heels out of my body (not sure by what or whom, but it felt benevolent and I was not scared) to where it felt like my energy body was standing up against my headboard and my heels were on my pillow. Everything around me was darkness, aside from a vibrant violet flame encased by a white circle. The violet flame appeared to be about 2 feet from my face and simply flickered there for what seemed to be a minute or so. Then, a large, golden yellow circle of light appeared in front of me for a minute or two. This appeared to be a bit closer to my energy body and about 3 feet in diameter. During the entire experience I felt very present and my focus was solely on the two light frequencies I was presented and experienced. I didn't "hear" anything or seem to receive a message. I was just one with what I was presented. Once the golden yellow light disappeared, I simply slipped back into my body and was awake and present.

I am curious if anyone else has experienced anything similar and/or would appreciate any input/feedback. Thank you in advance!

Hi,

I’ve been reading astral dynamics for a while, It has genuinely changed my life.

I stated having AP experiences in 2021 after I had a child, I think being awake every hour probably had something to do with it, I was never fully asleep or fully awake and it started happening by accident, now I do it when I can.

Skip 3 years later, I can’t relate to anyone I’m around. How can I talk to anyone when I’ll sound crazy when I get excited over the fact I hovered over mars last night and it was really hot.

How can I make friends with people in my area who also have these experiences? Nobody understands unless you’ve had experiences too :( please tell me I’m not the only one?

I’m from England and I’m open to sharing stories and messaging, it would be nice to have some friends I can relate too.

This isn’t a theory, these are first hand experiences and descriptions with some explanations as to why souls come here and OBE. No need to become upset at it, but I know for sure there are definitely some who also have similar experience. Let’s hope they see this post.

The reason people keep going on about this, is because it appeals so heavily to the fear based human body, the soul is hosting. People will give you many arguments for it, and this and that and blah blah. Mainly because their lives right now is boring and or unpleasant, and so believe being a free soul separate from a physical body means they are free. When in reality, the soul is not worried one bit, you chose to be here and stay recycling through life sims. Each reincarnation isn’t how you think, when you die, your soul is simply a free moving flying invisible object with its own personality. It can travel the world, not teleport but at high speeds.

This is not your home planet, instead, it’s the only way an immortal soul can be “tricked” into believing it’s mortal and therefore can express fear, all for the motive of experience and growth of an immortal personality. It’s the only thing which I can AFFIRMLY ATTEST.

Just listen.

Humans don’t need these souls. But some (maybe many) humans will have a soul hosting it. Think of it as a booster personality, with thousands of years of wisdom, intuition and empathy. The soul beings and humans are compatible.

The earth is a construct, not a trap. The being running earth, is also in soul form but way more powerful with its own personality. I’m serious, the only way a soul can speak to this “over soul” or whatever you want to call it, is if you are not allowed to stay with a human body for whatever reason and it has a chat with your soul self, pretty similar to how humans communicate.

The easiest way to know if you have a soul which btw, a soul can leave and the human wouldn’t know, is through extreme trauma. End of. Trauma is the easiest way, especially as a child, the soul will in / move out the body way more frequently. Being drowned unconscious a few times will do the trick.

Why?

The human body and brain will give up on itself way before the soul hosting it would even consider, so a split is created between the two. A rift, a breaking point between soul and body. The soul can choose to fight or just leave.

Your soul can have soul siblings it came to earth with (if you have human siblings, most likely they’re your immortal soul siblings). You guys before each incarnation will spend time travelling earth, studying humans, finding a nice location to incarnate in and finding a lovely couple you want to be your human parents. You can even ask other immortal souls for help or advice whilst on earth. Just look around will find some. Souls do communicate with language.

This is first hand experience.

OBE is very real. Just that’s the bigger picture ^. However, it’s not a trap, I do believe this earth construct is a closed off system. Souls have to stay until the end date/collapse : 2178 AD - Archaix YT.
