Two lucid dreams — I’ve missed this
June 27th, 2008 by Kavi
It’s been a while since I’ve dabbled in the inducement of lucid dreams or astral projection. In the past I’ve had a lot of such experiences, and I used to spend a lot of time studying and practicing techniques to create more of them. However, physical realm matters got busy for a while and it sort of fell to the wayside.
I decided to put up a links page yesterday and decided to include some links related to dreaming and out-of-body experiences. Some of the sites and material linked there I haven’t visited in years. Looking at them again, it triggered something in me. It triggered some memories, but more importantly it shifted my awareness onto some things that I hadn’t felt for a while. One was the astral plane itself and its quiet and chaotic bliss (I can’t really describe this one to you, sorry), and also it tuned me into what I suppose is the field of consciousness of all the humans on this planet who also have their attention on astral matters.
I just now laid down and induced two lucid dreams, for the first time in quite a while. I have now realized that this is something important that has been missing from my life. I feel such an incredible peace right now, something I haven’t felt in a while either. My heart chakra is beaming with Love energy and I am perfectly relaxed.
Earlier around 5:20 I felt a bit drowsy, and something told me that this would be the perfect time to attempt an out-of-body experience. I turned off my phone, went to my bedroom, set up my audio recorder (I will be making a post about this soon), and laid down.
I chose savasana (corpse pose) as I have had success with that position in the past. I slipped slowly down near the borders of sleep was doing a pretty good job of retaining consciousness. This approach was however not to be, as soon after I awoke to find that I had fallen asleep. At this time my body felt extremely heavy: good sign, that meant that I was in the perfect state for lucid dreaming or possibly an OBE.
I ended up turning onto my left side and just surrendering to my sleepiness. A few moments later I was looking out the balcony window of my apartment. I noticed that my bike had been moved from where I had locked it up and this distressed me momentarily, when all of a sudden I realized I was dreaming! I joyously glided through the window and over the edge of the balcony. I swung down over my balcony railing to take a peek in to my neighbor’s apartment. He was sitting on a bed reading a book, and a large aquarium was on the wall to my right. He didn’t seem to notice me, though he may have given me a brief glance as I headed off.
At this point I realized that this was not in fact an OBE but a lucid dream. Everything was different, including the weather. Right now it’s stormy and raining (though it’s let up a bit now) and in the dream it was beautifully sunny, though there were huge puddles everywhere.
I glided down off his balcony to the ground below and stood on the pavement. It was then that I remembered my original intention of contacting my spirit guide. This is something that I’ve wanted to do for a long time now, but I haven’t been putting much effort into it. I decided the other day that I was determined to open contact with my spirit guide. Anyways, at that moment my hair suddenly went in my eyes and my vision was obscured. I brushed my hair aside and everything started to dim—suddenly I realized I was back in my body on my bed.
I lay there in bed for a little while reflecting on my excursion and then I once again slipped into a lucid dream. I was once again standing in front of my balcony door and this time I was immediately lucid. I stepped outside and decided to head upwards this time instead of downwards, so I gave a little hop and glided up onto the roof of my building. When I stood up I beheld the sun in its full magnificent glory beaming Love onto me. I stared at it for some time, as, of course, it cannot damage your eyes in the dream world. I basked in this light for some time, then began walking towards the other side of the roof.
The terrain beyond the roof was completely different than in the physical. After the building ended, there were several smaller ones and then the ground just dropped off, as if there was a high cliff, or as if I was on a very small planet. It was quite beautiful and somewhat verdant. I turned to my left and I saw a girl of maybe 19 or 20 years of age walking past the roof on some higher ground. She passed by and I turned again to look at the sun. Seeing the girl made me think of my girlfriend and I thought briefly about going to look for her. When I turned back the girl was walking across the roof towards me. She came right up to me, had a big smile on her face and was looking me right in the eyes. She had blue eyes and light brown wavy hair.
Then everything started to dim and I found myself once again laying in my bed.
During the dreams I would occasionally begin to lose focus and I could feel my consciousness drifting, the end of the dream imminent. When this would happen I would affirm “clarity now!” (an old trick I learned from Anne Varnes’ site astral voyage) and I would become more strongly anchored within the dream.
I feel so refreshed and peaceful now. It is very apparent to me now that this is something that has been missing from my spiritual life; the exploration of dreams and states of sleep consciousness including astral projection.
Another thing to note is that my apartment now spiritually feels like a sanctuary. This is most likely due to the apartment clearing and protection that my girlfriend and I performed the other night. Spiritually I feel very safe here now; there are no malicious entities hanging around any longer and the vibration has been raised to facilitate spiritual growth and healing. I will write about the apartment clearing in another post for those who might be interested.
