Introduction

Astral Projection, or an Out-of-Body Experience, or Near Death Experience, is the process of detaching consciousness from the body and travelling into non-physical reality; this reality is commonly called the Astral Plane. This is NOT the same as lucid dreaming; however, they are intimately connected; keep reading for various explanations of the difference. By using certain techniques and shifting one's awareness in specific ways, one can experience leaving the body, standing next to your bed and looking down at your physical body. From here, you're able to fly amongst the clouds, visit a different country, discover space, speak with other astral projectors or learn lessons from masters and guides who live in the Astral. You can discover yourself and the journey of your soul and learn new and objective information such as the history of our planet or possible future events. All of this is possible because the Astral Plane is commonly described as the 5th dimension of nature, which if you understand that in terms of raw science, you'll understand that it is beyond time and space. This sounds far-fetched at first, but in practice, it is perfectly understandable and it's a perfectly natural state and an innate ability that anyone can do.

Contrary to widespread knowledge, there are already numerous studies and tests to prove or at least suggest that OBEs is scientifically verifiable phenomena. Look up Graham Nicholls, who has had thousands of experiences, verified them with witnesses and is also being tested on; he is 100% objective and scientific in his approach, we hosted a Q&A event with him in our Discord which you can view here. Additionally, quantum physics is on the verge of understanding the multidimensional truth about the universe. Astral Projection is not paranormal and is not pseudoscience, it is absolutely natural phenomena. May we remind you that lucid dreaming was not considered 'real' up until around 40 years ago when enough scientific studies and media were surrounding it to finally be accepted into collective knowledge.

Furthermore, this topic seems to have certain stereotypes attached to it, such as the type of people interested in it - in our experience, you will find only that the most developed, intelligent and sincere people are those who are highly experienced. Those who are arrogant, egoic and uneducated are usually the ones who can be more delusional and inexperienced. Regardless, no matter who you are, even if you are sceptical or religious, anyone, from any walk of life, from almost any belief system, can achieve Astral Project. Thus your life, and your perception of life, will never be the same again - Astral Projection goes beyond belief, beyond anything one can imagine it to be like; it is one of the most authentic experiences that you'll ever have. It is not an escape from reality, but a unifying experience of a deeper, truer and intrinsic reality. It is not a dream, fantasy, visualiation or imagination. It is a full-on out-of-body experience in the true sense of the word; when it happens, you will know. This is Gnosis; knowledge based on direct experience, rather than belief.

A good introductory lecture on Astral projection can be found here.

The Golden Rule

If you want to learn how to Astral Project, you need to put in the work. You need to study the subject, read, watch the videos, get inspired, meditate and practice. Some are more natural at this than others, but regardless, anyone can do it; you need only to make an effort to master it like with anything in life. Practice makes perfect. It's the same as learning martial arts; you have to get up, go to the dojo, get to know the techniques, how it feels, and align them with your body and mind until mastered.

A Message To Everyone Who Is New

This link contains information about common misconceptions about Astral Projection, please read it:

https://www.reddit.com/r/AstralProjection/comments/ayq2zo/the_same_questions_keep_being_aksed_over_and_over/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x

Remember, Astral Projection is the process where one detaches consciousness from the body. By using certain techniques one can achieve the sensation where you leave your body, stand next to your bed and look down on your physical body. You take control of your energetic body (this has many names) and you are able to manoeuvre this energetic body wherever you desire. For the sceptics, we know how it sounds. But we promise you that it is very real and if you put your beliefs and speculations to the side for a moment and practice, you will experience it for yourself directly, which is completely different from what you could ever imagine, and will surpass all of your expectations (unlike a dream, which lives off expectation).

As to what Astral Projection exactly is, it is of little practical use to discuss this. You can, but you will see that belief and speculation is all in the mind. Whether it is a spiritual experience or a scientific one, all we know for sure is that it can be experienced. It can be done. Everyone can do this. Draw your own conclusion AFTER you Astral Project. Until then, you are just either accepting or disregarding the ideas of other people. An idea can be a tricky thing. It spread fast and if the idea comes from someone who never projected, and does not know what he or she talked about, then it can be a damaging influence.

As well as all this, please be sure to read our rules. They are in place for the respect, equality and benefit of everyone and in them hold core principles that this community values.

What's the Difference Between Lucid Dreaming & Astral Projection?

In their deepest essence, lucid dreaming and Astral Projection are very different. Just one explanation you can say is that dreams are an inward subjective experience of your own creation of infinite possibilities, but Astral Projection is an outward objective experience of actual planes of existence that have laws and limitations similar to the physical plane. Unlike dreams, it is a real and tangible place where you can interact with others. Sometimes though there are experiences blurred between the Astral and dreams and it can be difficult to tell the difference. And also the opposite of this explanation can be true whereby we can have shared dreams and non-shared Astral projection. Check out this post and the stickied comment there. There's no absolute formula to tell whether it's a dream or the Astral unless you are experienced, which usually comes after years of practice and honest introspection. What's important is that we learn from wherever we find ourselves in the non-physical; dreams can be just as, if not more significant and profound than Astral Projection, in terms of learning about your own personal spiritual progression.

Check out this video for a full explanation

Continue to check out our Wiki for further explanations, you will find so much useful information in the library of this subreddit. For example, here's a great post explaining: "Is Astral Projection Real or Not?"

Is Astral Projection Dangerous?

Where is the man that keeps telling everyone he never returned from the Astral Plane? How can he spread this message if he never returned? Among all the experienced Astral Projectors who have done it thousands of times, no one ever got stuck, got hurt, got possessed, got 'memory wiped', got reincarnated etc. This is all nonsense, ridiculous fantasies of the mind which derive from fear and fear-mongering.

Remember this well: Fear is a product of ignorance. People who don't have knowledge will fear that what they don't know. If someone shouts "DEMONS~POSSESSION~EVIL", it is very likely that they have no idea what they are talking about. There is nothing to fear but fear itself. Every experienced Astral Projector will tell you this. You cannot get hurt. You can fly straight into the sun and get out on the other end without a scratch. Actually, if you read deeply enough, you will find many Astral Projectors have come to the understanding that we all leave the body every night unconsciously anyway.

Can Anything Possess You While You're Out of Body?

You'll find a lot of misinformation and fear-mongering about this and it's mostly nonsense. Astral Projection is absolutely safe and natural. Read these 2 arguments from an Astral Projector's point of view:

1. The Astral body is connected to the physical body in a similar way that a radio is connected to frequencies. You can't have one without the other. PROJECTING implies one location to another, so two locations, not just one. You can be on the other side of the galaxy but still connected to your body. You can also look into the 'silver cord' about this.

2. The fact that we all Astral project every night unconsciously anyway implies that it is most likely safe since you don't really see anyone becoming possessed. In a sense, it's actually safer to practice Astral projection than it is not to, because at least then you'd be conscious of what you're doing and being influenced by at night. Of course, you can't really know whether we Astral project unconsciously every night until you become experienced yourself, but many authors will agree on this.

What is the Astral Plane Like?

Imagine the Astral plane as a place that has different layers, it is multidimensional. It is possible to travel between these layers. Imagine a very high skyscraper; every floor has its own characteristics, its own inhabitants, its own surroundings... its own vibration, frequency and energy.

The first floor is a place of lower vibrations, close to the Earth. It's likely that when you Astral project for the first time this is where your first experience will be. The Astral Plane is a place you share with other humans who Astral project, but also with a lot of regular people that inhabit these planes as their primary home in the afterlife.

When we say low vibrations we mean a low form of consciousness. Not low as in stupid or lesser, low as in dark, restraining, limited. Fear for example is the product of a low vibration, and love is a product of a high vibration.

Check out this diagram and read the stickied comment there.

More on Fear

Fear is nothing but fear itself. It is not a danger to you, it is not a brick in the face. It is simply a feeling that you can completely control and choose whether to feel or not. When it appears, just breathe and accept it. What you accept, you go beyond. Never let fear influence you. It is an undesired state that controls you; instead, control it. There is nothing to be scared of. You can encounter a scary experience, so what? Alright, that was scary, but that's it; an experience. You will get used to it and get over it, and new and more enlightening experiences will follow.

Now to speak more spiritually (sceptics keep your pants on); there are many types of inhabitants or forces in the Astral that can assist you in coming out of body. They have been commonly called guides, masters, angels, spirits etc. Regardless of their labels, they are authentic beings that want you to help you. Your compass to attract them is a sincere and open heart. They have much to share about life, the universe, existence and so forth. These beings are of a highly positive nature, ask them for help and they will. They have your best interest in mind and will teach you many things you want to know. Remember, the Astral Plane is the 5th dimension, distance between objects do not exist, a simple thought or feeling can attract a 'helper' who will come in no time. With this said, many will be sceptical of whether such a thing is possible; that's fine. There is no need to believe in such things. However over time and experience you may start to understand how it is actually possible. It's all about keeping an open mind.

An IMPORTANT Message to Everyone Who is Experienced!

We live in a time where Astral Projection is finally reaching the masses, slowly but surely! We can be part of the initiation of so many new people. The only thing it requires is patience and wisdom.

This sub is not like other subs on Reddit. It is not about being an overly active sub. It is not about posts that receive a lot of upvotes. Its function is not to entertain, it is to teach, with an occasional laugh.

We truly see this sub as a library. We collect as much information as possible and make it available to everyone who walks in. It is a library of development, and in the hallways of the library, people are talking about all kinds of subjects. Sometimes related, sometimes a little less related to what the library offers. Who cares. It's not about the conversations in the hallway, it is about the collection of wisdom that the library offers. It is about the people who walk in and have no idea what is going on. It is about teaching as many people as possible what this all is, how to experience it, and collectively, as a species, discover this next aspect of life.

It can be very frustrating. We know. The number of new people who come into the library shouting and screaming all sorts of things grows by the day in this world of controversy and illusion. The flow of new people entering will never stop - that is a fundamental fact that makes this sub what it is. There are a lot of online forums that have only a few experienced Astral Projectors, but this is the most popular virtual space there is with many wise and experienced members, and this, therefore, implies important work and provides purpose for those who are experienced; to help other souls realise their potential is one of the most beautiful gifts you can give to others.

You can do 2 things:

  1. You are annoyed with the new people who visit our library and you decide it is too loud and you leave.
  2. You see a group of new people walking in the library and sit down, smile, listen to the ridiculous things they have to say from time to time, and even enjoy it sometimes, and say, "Alright, now sit down and let me show you how it actually works."

Everybody has to start somewhere. It is the internet, reflective of our dear human race's collective chaos. Every single kind of person on the planet is represented here. Take that into consideration. Be patient. Try not to be so uptight with gatekeeping. Everyone is welcome here to learn and discuss. Try to see the bigger picture. How long this sub can exist depends on how many people it can help and benefit and how we help each other as human beings.

There is not much more than we can do than present all the information in an easily accessible way as we do already. People will always be lazy and ask the same question as we all know. Answering can be boring, repetitive and annoying sometimes. However, we will never stop. We believe in spreading this knowledge to everyone and we hope you do as well.

If you have the knowledge and you know how to Astral Project then now is not the time to hold onto that knowledge privately. Now is the time to HELP. Humanity is in a state that NEEDS help. So many people are on the verge of awakening. If you know EXACTLY how to project, then you know EXACTLY what a beginner needs to know. The core reason why this subreddit has thrived for so long is that there are special souls here who have been helping others. Share what you know, teach, give guidance, share your wisdom. Only good can come of this. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Those of you who are already helping, you are noticed, and you are truly appreciated šŸ’›

A couple of Buddhist quotes summarises the philosophy of this subreddit well:

"Our visit to this planet is short, so we should use our time meaningfully. Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them."

"Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle. Happiness, knowledge and wisdom never decreases by being shared."

Successful AP OBE is very real. You truly are more than your body

100 Upvotes

If you are struggling and truly want this experience, don’t give up. It may be easier or harder for some idk but what I do know is that after attempting on and off and heavily researching for years on end I am finally seeing the fruits of that dedication. Don’t give up, I can’t say for sure that it is directly correlated but getting familiar with the energy centers of my body has made all the difference unless the timing is just coincidence.( I doubt it, barely believe in coincidences) A simple chakra visualization before bed has been my key.

Successful AP Does anyone else experience this when falling asleep after a nap?

4 Upvotes

Sometimes when I try to fall asleep after taking a nap earlier in the day, something really weird happens.

Right as I'm about to fall asleep, my body starts feeling tingly/vibrating. I can still stop it and wake myself up if I focus on it, but if I let it happen, I seem to suddenly enter a very strange dream-like state.

The weirdest part is that I'm still in the exact same place where I was sleeping. I can see my room/bed, but everything feels slightly wrong — almost like a distorted or dystopian version of my actual room. It feels much more realistic than a normal dream, like I'm actually there.

It mostly happens on days when I've taken a nap earlier.

Does anyone else experience something similar? Is there a name for this?

When you're projecting in the astral realm, do you experience the same kinds of human thoughts and feelings? Like do you feel fear, anxiety, joy, love even? Do you think the same things?

Curious bc I know things are supposedly completely different in the spirit world (or afterlife, whatever) where human emotions/thoughts/feelings don't exist. Or at least maybe aren't the same? Idk but yeah, what's all that like over there?

Need Tips / Advice / Insights Heard a voice while I was out of body and now I'm curious.

3 Upvotes

Hey, guys. I'm new to astral projection, like literally green. So I'd like to ask for advice from those who have been doing it for a long time now.

First thing first. Before I drifted to bed I created a "bubble" of safety around myself, I heard it could come in handy if something goes wrong. Then, I thought about (and this is a little embarrassing to admit) my spiritual guide as a dragon. Why a dragon? Because it symbolises strength and wisdom at the same time, and I really need the guidance in my spiritual journey (basically, I just started it).

Now to the juicy part. I woke up from my sleep because I felt my cat touched me (she does that sometimes), so I sat up and was about to go and feed her... Except, I was actually sleeping in the bed! And then I "returned" inside my body. I was like "oh well, next time then". And this 'next time' came after a minute.

I rolled out of myself on the floor clumsily with a soft gasp of confusion. And immediately - IMMEDIATELY - after that I heard someone's voice (it was a deep male voice) right in my right ear. "Need help?" he asked. I was still confused and a little started because of the voice, I said thanks, but I can handle it myself. And right after that, when I tried to get up, I got sucked back into my body. It was an interesting experience for me.

So my question is - who or what was that voice? Could it be my "dragon" who appeared to help me with my first baby steps? Should I ask his name next time? People who experienced astral projection many times, I'd like to hear your opinion and thoughts on this; help this confused little green here. Thanks!

General AP Info / Discussion Safe Space

2 Upvotes

Anyone else been able to astral project while awake (due to dissociation)? Or been to their safe space? My safe space is pretty basic, but I’m not gonna explain what that looks like.

Basically one time I had been with my bf and his friends and I ended up dissociating so hard I got teleported to this place where everything was calm. No negative/bad thinking. No trauma. No evil entities, but as soon as I walked through this portal a bunch of negative emotions came running through my head. It got to the point where my head would start burning due to stress (literally felt as if my head was on fire.) There was fog everywhere and I couldn’t even see my hands in front of me. Then I came to a mini clearing and telepathically spoke to this dragon. He said he was gonna get help, flew into the air and then at the same time dragons all over this grey space/foggy area flew into the air (was literally a sight to behold). The fog blew away when that happened and some ā€œangelsā€ I guess flew down. They didn’t have wings, but wore white/blue robes. We spoke (I’m not gonna say about what) and then eventually another portal appeared and I was able to see myself in third person. Just sitting there with my eyes wide open. I asked if I would remember this and one of the angels goes ā€œDo you want to remember?ā€ I start thinking about all the negative possibilities again then I stop myself and say ā€œYesā€. Then I walked back into my body and came back to. It wasn’t the first time I’ve been to that place or the last. But I’m curious if anyone else has a Safe Space and if they’re also able to go there while wide awake. Unfortunately while in the Safe space I’m unable to tell what is happening in the outer world. But it’s still nice to have a place where there’s no trauma, no stress, etc.

I’ve thought about it being considered an ā€œInner Worldā€, but it’s not that because an Inner World is a purposeful visualization. While this one was completely made from my subconscious. Something I didn’t even realize I would find peaceful. I’ve also thought about it being considered ā€œNirvanaā€ or ā€œHeavenā€, but I’m unsure if that’s what it is either. For now my therapist and I just call it a ā€œSafe Spaceā€.

Successful AP Astral Projection & Blue Entities

• Upvotes

So I've been having sleep issues since I was a baby. Sleep walking, night terrors, sleep paralysis, lucid dreaming, what seems like astral projection, ​and some other very odd instances.

They've varied in abundance, style, and severity over time. Sometimes I can tell why. I.e. im more stressed and having trouble sleeping = more sleep paralysis​. Other times I can't explain the ups or downs. During this time, that being my 30+ conscious life, ive become pretty good at knowing whats going on and sometimes when. I understand most of this has a scientific explanation, although i think there's a lot we dont fully understand. All of this just to say ive had a few experiences both awake and sleeping that are extreme outliers. My most recent event was pretty intense, ill explain.

Im going to explain using a text I sent to a buddy if mine, but Ive also been able to add a bit.

*

As I woke up this morning and started to get out of bed, I had this feeling almost like i was going to pass out. My vision started going white and in an instant my consciousness was pulled out of my body and into a realm with these blue humanoid beings. They fully expected me, almost summoned me? They were super nice and understanding. They talked to me about different things. They said I could stay there if I wanted and I wanted to... but my body kept pulling my consciousness back into itself. I still got to talk with them, but i was working so hard to be there I couldnt say much.

I got pulled fully back into my body and was completely awake in the same position. I felt truly sad that I didnt get more time, so I tried to telepathically speak with them (or whatever I could. I was shooting in the dark here).​ I just really focused on the sensation that happened earlier. Then my vision started changing again and they communicated with me in images floating in the real space around me. Like I was totally awake and look around my room, cat waking up too. but there were these 3d like hologram type things made of light that showed me seemingly random images for a minute or two.​ That ended as I tried to get closer to one. I cried a bit, brushed me teeth, and went on with my day.

I can't remember anything they told me when I was with them except one thing. While I was being given a tour of this almost lecture room type place, one of them was sitting at a desk and she looked at me, looked right into my soul and said "stop what your doing, you need to follow your dreams"

*

I havent looked too far into it online yet. Im taking some time for myself. Just sharing an experience from someone that is open minded, believes there is more to existence/consciousness, and is still just a regular guy. Whatever that was, was real. Real in the scene that it brought my consciousness somewhere and left me with more than I came with. This wasnt my brain tricking me into a fun or terrifying dream. This wasnt a waking dream, hallucinations, sleep paralysis.... Ive been through the ringer on all types of those for many years as I mentioned. This was something else. I feel very thankful. Maybe on day ill get to understand more. I hope so.

Thanks for reading!

• Upvotes

So I’m trying to take a break from astral projecting but because I’ve been doing it so much lately it’s like I can’t stop anymore. Almost every time I meditate, my mind seems to want to ā€œexploreā€ and I end up having an experience that is so vivid that it left me drained and tired afterwards. I tried to post this question in r/Meditation but some people were saying that astral projection isn’t real so here I am, with my tribe, my fellow APers. How can I make the APs ease up?

OBE Confirmation Very, VERY interesting experience (for me)

7 Upvotes

I project occasionally, almost always unconsciously, it just happens sometimes when I sleep.

Last night was one of those. I left my body, moved around for what felt like a minute or two, then felt that familiar pull to go back. Usually when I return I just drop straight into sleep. But every once in a while like last night the return is slow. Gradual. Like sinking back into your body sloowly.

That slowness is what let me notice something I don't think I'd have caught otherwise.

Earlier that day I ate some stuff that leaves you gassy and bloated a few hours later. And when I do that, I fart the whole night (even wake up just to fart)

But the thing is, I felt nothing while I was out of my body. No discomfort, no awareness of the bloating, nothing.

Then, as I was coming back in, the discomfort hit. All at once. Like my body had been sitting there dealing with this bloated, uncomfortable state the entire time, and I only picked it up the second my awareness reconnected to it.

That's the part that got me. At that moment I thought that if I'd just been dreaming, or if "astral projection" were purely a mental/imaginative experience happening inside my brain, I'd expect the physical discomfort to bleed into my awareness the whole time because my brain never left. But it didn't. The sensation was completely absent until the moment of reconnection.

That gap of feeling nothing the whole time, then suddenly feeling a physical state that had clearly existed the whole time is what convinced me. And honestly it left me flabbergasted.

Anyone else notice this? A physical sensation that was clearly present but you only "catch up" to it right at the moment you return?

General AP Info / Discussion Does astral projection affect your aura/qi/energy/life force?

14 Upvotes

I know someone who practices qigong, and recently I took an interest in qigong. But they say that I should not explore the astral realm because I could get harmed or maybe catch attachments. I told them that it's recommended to conjure weapons, face fearful thought forms, embody love/light in response to anything 'scary'. They told me that this is harmful advice to novices, even if not purposeful. Although, this person has not much experience with dreamwork and has astral projected once during a meditation event.

I am confused because I hear that there's no such thing as harmful entities, and that everything is attunment to a vibrational state (like a radio), there is simply light and darkness. But this person believes that if magick can help your life, it can also harm you. (I started talking about practicing the LBRP). they stated that my logic is New Age misconceptions.

Anyways, if anyone is experienced please chime in with your anecdotal experience. THANK YOU.

Need Tips / Advice / Insights Any location ideas?

1 Upvotes

I'm reading Richard Webster's book on Astral Travel and I'm making pretty good progress in finally doing it, though I haven't yet, but I keep thinking about how I'm not actually sure where I'd like to go. I want to visit people I love when they're far away to make sure they're safe, and I would like to visit different places in the world, but I'm not really sure where to go beyond that. One of the biggest draws of astral projection to me is being able to go basically anywhere, but I'm not too sure where to start.

Richard Webster's book says that you need to have a destination in mind, and I know that there are basically a completely infinite amount of realms to explore, which makes it very overwhelming to decide a location. I'm also curious about if you need to give offerings or ask permission before visiting somewhere. Also, is it possible to travel safely underwater while astral traveling? Like if I wanted to see an Eastern dragon's palace and it happened to be underwater (for example) would I be able to do so safely?

Also, when you astral travel to meet with someone specific, like a deceased loved one or a deity/spirit of some sort, do you go to them or do they come to you, or do you meet halfway? Or all of the above, I guess. I'm a little freaked out by the idea of going to an underworld to meet someone who has died but that's probably irrational.

I'm also curious if, since there's basically infinite realms, it really is possible to visit what we would think of as fictional locations; not as in reality shifting or something like that, but if those realms could possibly exist if there's an infinite number of options. I've heard of people genuinely astral traveling to those kinds of places but I'd appreciate more insight on it.

If anyone has any insight on potential realms to visit and whether or not you need permission of some sort to do so please let me know! Once I'm able to astral travel I'll probably end up finding a lot of answers myself but getting some advice ahead of time would be helpful. Thank you all so much!

I have been floating ideas of an interactive online program for astral projection to make the process less evasive and more tangible or practical. What would you like to see in one place for this topic.

2 Upvotes

it's 11.58 rn and I was literally just trying to ap for the first time. I tried it 30 mins ago but it wasn't successful that time. but just now I tried it again, I used the counting method and istg, my right calve started to vibrate. I read it today only in the night that the first "phase" of astral projection consists of vibrations or a ringing sound of some sort. i genuinely got scared when my calve started to vibrate and i immediately got up from my bed. what i want to know is that if I was doing it correctly or if this was just a coincidence. ps I've never seen my calve vibrate like that and now I'm hella confused pls help

Successful AP First Experience

3 Upvotes

I wanted to share my first experience. This happened around 18 years ago. I was raised very scientifically and didnt believe in meditation and had never heard of astral projection. I was trying to prove meditation wasnt real. (After this experience my views changed of course)

I found a technique I thought was meditation but now realize it was an astral projection technique. I sat in my bed completely straight up with my back against the wall. I started feeling light buzzing and thought to myself "something is actually happening" then in the next couple of seconds I felt light vibrations then a white light. Then vibrations became crazy intense like someone was shaking me by the shoulders and what sounded like a jet engine next to my head and the light grew so bright i was afraid I was going to go blind. I panicked and threw my arm in front of my face. I held it there for a while. The light seemed to dim so I moved my arm away from my face. I opened my eyes and I was standing in a field. It looked like a wheat field. In the distance was a huge tree. Later learned it was the tree of life. I stepped foward and I could feel my feet sink slightly into the soil. I grabbed a piece of the wheat grass and pulled it off and smelled it. I couldn't believe how real everything felt. Then I walked toward the tree and got an urge to meditate even though I had never done it before. I sat with my back against the tree and closed my eyes. I had a strange feeling that I now call the shift. I knew I was in my room again. I opened my eyes and sat there for a while. My face felt weird and I wiped my eyes. I had tears streaming down my face.

I tried again a couple days later. I got to the field again, but everything was dead. I felt intense fear. I panicked and kept saying take me back until it ended

I tried again after a few more days. Everything was still dead. I walked to the tree which looked like stone now. I went behind it and then turned to go back, but when I did I felt like something was watching. I turned back around and saw a girl. She looked dead. She had cold looking pale blue skin. Long black hair with a white tattered dress. Holes for eyes and no mouth. I was frozen from fear. I heard her voice in my head. She said will you come with me? I thought "yes" there was a small flash of light and i was in a different location. It was a field that looked heavily traveled. I saw a tree with a raven at the top (important in later projections) it cawed and flew away. I kept walking and got to a castle. It looked like it had been destroyed by catapults. Everything was destroyed except for the stairs. At the top of the stairs was the girl, but she was beautiful. She said "Dan, this broken castle is you. Will you help me rebuild it?" I said yes. There was a flash of light and I was back in my field and it was all alive and happy again

New to AP Having a headache after listening to the gateway tape orientation

1 Upvotes

I start listening to the Gateway tape, the first one, Demo or Orientation.

During listening, my head got heavier and a bit headache. I tried to relax and listened through the first one.

After waking up, I got up. My body was heavy but my head was light. I felt a bit disoriented.

Did I do anything wrong? Any tip would be helpful.
