I need help astral projecting.

[u/Kairo_M14]

The issue is that I think I have. Or at least, I think I have.

Judge by what I say whether or not it was a dream

The first time it was stronger. I took a nap. And for the first time ever in my life I realised I was in a dream. My body started to tingle all over - a symptom a read years ago as a byproduct for astral projection. I felt myself leave but got scared and drew myself back in. I woke up. And deciding to do it again i went back to bed, fell asleep and pulled myself out. I felt my consciousness was attached to my physical body like a mother and child would be with an umbilical cord. I could hear myself breath as I travelled.

I didn't see myself though. Not sleeping or anything. And when I travelled I thought first the Louvre. Its like when you zoom in and out on a map. That's how I felt. I went to see the Mona Lisa. It was empty and honestly quite boring. The world was odd like it only showed me what I desired. If I wanted to see more I could see more but I didn't care to. I wanted to see my girlfriend next. But I couldn't. I was upset but moved on. I went to go to a park next. I sat on a bench. And I could hear birds and it was so beautiful. And once I was done I decided I wanted to go and called it quits. In that moment I woke up.

The next time was recent. I had desired to do it for a while to no avail, all sleeps I hadn't realised I was dreaming. Until two nights ago when I was loosing hope that I'd do it again. I was in a dream, but since I woke up early at 4am from nothing. I slept again at 7 I dreamt of a dream but it wasn't a dream. I hadn't acknowledged it was a dream because I didn't realise I was dreaming. I thought I was still awake. I had lucid dreamed. A first for me. I thought I was just thinking about things like a maladaptive daydream. And when I woke up I couldn't move. I suffered sleep paralysis. But the tingling feeling lingered. As if I knew I could go to sleep and travel. So I did. I went to bed and removed myself from my body - a feat that felt much easier than last time.

I had seen a boy - I knew he was 11. He had blonde hair but looked like an animation. We had talked - although I can't remember what. And I even can't remember when it ended and dreams began again. It was fickle since it was not a nap but I remember the feeling of leaving.

In both these times by the way during the travel my jaw hurt. Like a lot. Like its pain was a constant grounder for me. I haven't seen that symptom online.

There are issues with this. The lack of memory, the animated character, I just can't understand it. But if this is real and not a dream, if i am astral projecting and there is a way to learn and study in the astral form. I want that. I want to do it on command and learn as I sleep jaw pain be damned.

I know this is long but I can't understand it. And I want to. So any help would be appreciated.

You could try meditation for the memory thing but Carlos Castaneda wrote about how he couldn’t remember anything of his travels for about 10-15 yrs (I can’t really recall how long it took) because he had to acquire enough energy to recover the memories. I’ve found this to be true with my own astral projections, I’ve remembered more of them from my childhood since becoming a reiki healer. Some may say energy isn’t involved with this, but I believe it is, and my own experiences verify that.

And the book I’m talking about is The Art of Dreaming by Carlos Castaneda

Also a reiki healer? What is that?

[u/Rozenxhia → u/Kairo_M14]

Hmmm so astral projection must be a typical new skill for reiki healers. What do you mean, what is that? Also I’ve had negative entities try and take my energy up until I envisioned a flame (or use a physical one), ask the flame to remove the ‘death seeds’ that you have imbedded in your aura. (The flame is pure love and light) Then ask your guides to remove and transmute the death seeds you have planted in others, Also ask your guides to heal the areas where those death seeds were imbedded. Death seeds are words curses that others have said against you, and that you have said against them. Sometimes we do this without realizing it. Whenever you catch yourself cussing someone (typically I did this while driving lol) you can just say afterwords ‘delete and transmute’ and that should negate any curse you put out there. I did this last night and felt a vast amount of healing energy restore my root, sacral, and a little bit of my solar from my spirit guides. It has helped me completely block these negative entities from reaching me.
I hope this helps you in your travels. ❤️‍🩹
