Astral Projection Yesterday

[SkyeSpitfire]

Yesterday I had an incredible astral projection experience. While still aware I was sleeping, I saw my room in a misty haze. I told myself to jump out of my body and explore. It took some effort but I jumped out. I saw myself lying down and I looked around my room, which continued to be hazy. I couldn't see anything to my left or right when this happened; it was if I had a small box held up to eyes and I could only see things through that box. Like a key-hole. Then I walked to the door and was about to turn the handle, but then I thought, ""Why don't I just walk through?" and I did! Then I walked into the corridor and I knew my niece and my aunt were downstairs; I thought about whether I should go see them, but then I decided to just explore. I was about to walk down the stairs, but then I thought, "Why don't I just jump through the floor?" and I did! I kept falling and didn't stop at the bottom floor, but I kept falling through a vast hole which was completely black.

I don't know how far I fell, but I landed in this place that looked like a cave. I suddenly felt really afraid and then I could see shadows flitting from side to side. They were demons. They hadn't spotted me yet. I was about to go towards them because I always want to attack them - but then I thought, "If we fight and I lose, I will have to spin! If I spin I will have to leave - and I'll never be able to explore!" I backed away but there seemed no way out. Worried, I started calling in my head, "Angels? Angels?" Of course, none came. But suddenly, I knew exactly where to go to get out of there and I knew they were telling me where to go. I went upwards and came out to this strange place with lots of tall buildings where people were flying everywhere in the sky. So I started to fly with them - and flying is even better than walking through doors

The reason this was so incredible to me is because it's the first time I've been able to do this. Usually, my vivid experiences while sleeping end up in a face-off with demons - even this one had me landing in an area with demons! But I was so excited when this happened to me and I wanted to explore. The only other time I had an experience similar to this was when I was flying around in a lucid dream, only the dream was hijacked by a demon. Any thoughts? And does anyone know how one can do this at will, if at all?

It can take alot out of you.


Sometimes I have no control of it.


I seen over my neighbors house before.


Maybe it's more remote viewing?

I'd prefer you'd call demons "negative entities" or something in the style, but that's only a problem of mine, the rest of what you say just sounds right if we're talking about astral projection.


I'm no expert and my own experience is short, but I think you don't have much more to learn, I'm finding a lot of young people who do this as easily as you, and I really hope they come to understand what is happening before someone else tells them they're just crazy.


To do it again consciously, you just have to be "awake" as your physical body gets asleep. As you can see, this is just what you did. While you relax your body and concentrate, you may notice some of the symptoms related to astral projection: a buzzing in the ears, unpleasant noises inside of your head, light limbs, etc. All you have to do is to keep calm and then just get up... exactly as you did.


Then it's all a matter of mind. Negative entities can't do you any harm. You have to believe this strongly and not let them make you afraid. You're a living person, and all they want is your energy. You can beat them with the power of your imagination or just thinking about positive things, for example thinking about someone you love, or maybe someone you ask for protection if you believe in saints or something like that. Just do not feel fear. Also, keep in mind, that many of these creatures are not real, but creations of your mind if you are afraid for some reason. As soon as you calm down they will disappear.

The reason this was so incredible to me is because it's the first time I've been able to do this. Usually, my vivid experiences while sleeping end up in a face-off with demons - even this one had me landing in an area with demons! But I was so excited when this happened to me and I wanted to explore. The only other time I had an experience similar to this was when I was flying around in a lucid dream, only the dream was hijacked by a demon. Any thoughts? And does anyone know how one can do this at will, if at all?

Lucid dreams are also astral projections, only they're not 100% conscious as it was in the last case, so what you see gets confused with images your brain is creating, just the same it happens with normal dreams. If you find yourself in a lucid dream, say aloud you don't want to dream, you want to astral project. Or you can also ask for more lucidity. You'll see how everything around you changes and you'll find yourself in a place similar to what you described in your OP. This is one of the easiest ways to become aware of the astral plane.


Another thing, your vision being described as a key hole is also typical in the first times, it's your third eye trying to see, you only have to train it. If you have problems seeing (this is one of my main problems, I always see it all dark), say aloud "I want to see", or ask for more clarity. It seems you can do it more easily than me!


There's a book I highly recommend for everyone who wants to know more about astral projection: "Journeys out of the body" by William Buhlman.


I hope this helps you!

Wow, those were interesting posts, Skye and Eowyn. At first, Skye, I was reminded of Alice falling down the rabbit hole. That led me to wonder if Lewis Carroll had paranormal experiences, or was subject to OBEs. I found Eowyn's observation on "key hole" vision and the third eye to be thought provoking. When you consider it, of course that would be true! I wanted to slap myself in the forehead and say "Duh! Why did I never see that!"


On a personal note, I had a run-in with a "negative entity", or demon myself. It was about three feet tall, black, twisted, and hanging off the post of my bed, watching me sleep. I gave an ear-splitting scream. At first, I thought it had to be a dream, but after reading about the history of entities that fit that description, I am not as sure. They evidently hound saints and mystics, and since I am obviously neither, I am not sure what to do. My aunt saw one hanging from a lamp-post, and everyone presumed she was insane. Sorry about that, Aunt Lizzie! Has anyone heard of familial demons? What should I do if the dratted thing appears again? Am I doing something to attract it? I haven't touched a Ouija board in years. If it wasn't real, I was having one of those "real time" dreams that come with OBEs.

This is all very helpful information - especially the part about the keyhole, so thank you. I have to say though, I have tried still being awake while falling asleep and I just can't seem to do it at will! I'm also not so sure I can do this so easily - when I do try to do it on command, it doesn't seem to work. But I will check out the book you mentioned!


BriarRose, the type of thing you're describing is something one person I know has experienced. Not being afraid or having any fear is one way for it to leave. Some people have reported calling for angels, but I personally have no experience in this. If you feel you could be brave enough, try talking to it. I've found when I've encountered demons - or negative entities - when I have engaged with them, it's given me more information about them. Though when I engage with them it's for a VERY short while - it feels like the life is draining from me or my head will explode whenever I engage them. Some people say never confront a demon - but the type we're talking about here are a different kind.

Thank you for your reply, Skye. I was too surprised to do anything but scream. I don't think I could keep my wits about me enough to talk to it. It hasn't been back, and I hope it stays away. I really couldn't call it a dream, because there was no supporting story line. Presuming it was real, (and I really can't say) the internet info said those are the lowest order of dark entity. I would think medieval gargoyles were modeled on them. I hope the "big dogs" don't decide to check out my headboard.

Wow eowyn you just said what I've recently learned about negative energies. What you say is true. But sky your aura will glow or be as dark as you feel. If you want to explore that cave you have to imagine your soul lighting up that cave with the happiness, excitement , and playfulness. They will have no choice but to retreat farther into the depths of the cave don't forget to bring your guide and guardian angle with you before the trip and if your not lighting up the cave head back until your ready to light up that cave with you positive aura.


This one is to rose and sky you can't let your aura retreat out of fear and you don't want to irritate them either but hold your ground, root your aura and place the positive prayer of the golden rule your welcome to stay if you do no harm, if you can't abide by this rule you must leave.

Being able to see any energies stems from more use of the third eye. I'm seeing more and more things the more I use this gland. And it seems now that others are experiencing the same things. Angles demons, what ever it may be they notice when you can see them and they have vested interest, in putting you on a path that they want you to be but the only one who has the ultimate choice in that path is the person. Wich influence you side with will only strengthen you in a positive or negative way.
