Astral Travel?

Regarding "various types" of astral travel...is the following a type, or could it be considered so?

There was a time I was searching for answers (much more than now...) Anyway, I found sleeping with crystals very comforting. There came a time that I began to dream (?travel?) of going to different places, waking up in the "wrong place", and lying back down in that place - so that I could go back to sleep and wake up in the "right place". For instance: I recall knowing I was in India which I found to be a hot, dry, beautiful, stark and almost pitifully poor place and from there going somewhere else (which didn't "stick" with me") but; I was "lucky" enough to finally wake up in the "right place". This happened more than once (or twice ).

I'll be quite honest in that I quit sleeping with my crystals.

I know...wimpy, wimpy, wimpy

 

Yes! One hologram within another, and another and so on...

 

I think Astral Projecting is definitely real. Just because the mainstream society isn't aware of it, doesn't discredit it at all.
Who knows, maybe government officials are using it, but because it's so powerful it's classified as top secret? Ha, well, it's a theory...
I recently read an article that said,
"here are some people who believe that jumping from one universe to another is already a possibility and claim to do it frequently. They say this is done through a process called thought transference. While this can’t be proven or disproven, some scientists have believed that in order to change where you are (your location), you merely need to change your thought pattern or frequencies. This is called quantum jumping. While the opportunities seem endless, the practice seems elusive to many people. Science is increasingly moving ahead with theories about alternate universes. While the data is inconclusive, many do believe that an alternate or parallel universe is not just made for science fiction. It is a true phenomenon that requires more study."

When I was younger I could do astral travel. Maybe because I was into wicca. Now it seems my third eye is shut.

 

I have read the books of Robert Monroe and Willam Buhlman , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Monroe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out-of-body_experience I have tried for many years and not got too far , but I will keep trying . Here is a link to a a.p. site http://www.astraldynamics.com.au/forum.php desert rat

 

i don't know about astral, but every dream is a psychic connection to a parallel universe. well not every. but that is one of the things dreams can be. sometimes are.

 

My mom said she would astral travel when she was younger. it would happen durig migraines or when she was, for example, at the dentist. She could see her body from across a room and evn said she travelled to different countries, but she was always tied to her body by a silver rope.
She and my uncle also used to have dreams where they both would go out and fly during the night. When awake, both were aware of these dreams...


I don't think I've ever been able to do it.. maybe while sleeping, but I never remember my dreams
I think I need to begin meditating to open up my chakras... then, perhaps, I can try..

 

I used to easily astral travel in my teens and 20's now in my 40's I have lost most of the ability. I always have wondered why...

 

So, here's a story of mine that I haven't figured out yet. I took a reiki 1 class, you know, with the "breathing" techniques and the "cleansing your chakras" and "focusing on the chakras of your client"...and later I used these techniques while giving a wonderful massage to a friend's sister. I was in a sort of meditational state so that I could "listen" to what her body's chakras needed while not taking the ills onto myself...you have to keep your "mind" open for that sort of thing. If you've ever done reiki you know what I mean. That's not the weird part. That's just a prelude.
I went home, it was about 10:30 at night. Massage makes me feel energized, mind you, this massage lasted about 3 hours. I went to bed. My b/f was asleep already, so I was laying there on my back looking up at my ceiling, which consists of crappy old beat up panelling and an off-centered ceiling fan. However, now this is weird, somewhere between my ceiling and my body in bed I saw seemed to see a large scene, of a multi-colored yellow field with a vivid blue sky, and in the mid-distance of that scene was a person, who seemed to be young looking but seemed like a very old soul, almost gave me chills as it looked at me. It appeared to be a woman in a skirt. Sort of had a face like the women in my family. The whole scene was like one of those images you see in posters where the whole poster is made of small pictures. It was like pixels of images making up this one image. It was weird enough, and I was awake enough to wonder if I should move to wake up my boyfriend. But it didn't stop there, exactly. Once I wondered about by boyfriend the image disappeared, but was replaced by a very strange feeling. Like I said, I'm laying there on my back, but I'm not exactly falling asleep here...I suddenly felt very, very small. I'm talking those pictures of deep space that go on and on forever, were my body and I was just a small little speck inside of a huge ampitheatre. I felt like I was in a space that was black and void, and enormous and expanding. Yet myself was also there, becoming smaller, and smaller. In fact I felt like I was literally being drawn through the head of a needle. I felt like each part of my body, legs, arms, torso, was becoming large but in the largeness being so small as to be sucked through a pinhead. I could feel myself expanding through this tiny place. It got to where the only thing left was my head area, my mind area...and that's when I thought I might die or something. I wasn't sure what would happen if my mind was pulled to the other side of that pinhead. I didn't know what happened to the legs and torso I had no feeling of them at the moment, just felt like a string being pulled through. So, I started to pray, forcing my mind to do this one thing and stay on this side of whatever in the hell divide was there. I prayed until 2 AM, and I rarely pray, mind you. It was that scary. I didn't know what would happen. My boyfriend was still just laying there sleeping while my body was seeping away and having this crazy-ass experience.
So...I'm still afraid of the unknown. I had a weird psychology teacher who researched dreams for his dissertation. I told him about it. I was thinking maybe next time I would be more brave, and just see where I end up. I mean, I probably won't die, it's just so weird to feel out of control like that. Anyway, I think that if there is astral travel, that was my body connecting to some strange plane (the scene before) and then leaving (the expansion, shrinking, whatever) But I didnt' go all the way. It has almost happened a few times since but I nip it in the bud every time. It's freaky.
