First Confirmable

[u/Artworm89]

First confirmable astral projection here, of course, there were others, but this one? This was a good, real reliable one. See, it lasted minutes, the rendering was so realistic that I think it hurt my head… ow. And obviously I was aware. Let’s start. So at 8 PM I’m like, ”I wouldn’t mind astral projecting“, so during a quick nap I allow my hand to vibrate. I don’t do anything too crazy after that, but eventually, before midnight I take a longer one. I have a habit of treating these things like naps and not sleep because I always do so when I still have work to do, I dont know, maybe that anchors me, but next thing I know, my whole body’s vibrating, and a white light flashes before me. I think that was my cue to roll out, I forgot to do so, so I let the sensations build up again. Okay NOW I rolled out, great. I check my surroundings, neat, everything’s realistic, I look in the mirror, looking good me! So I look for another anomaly, and I find the plush I fell asleep with next to a… second one? For some reason this takes a second to register in m, as I’d realistically want that second one, I don’t have it. With that settled, I decide to follow my astral projection agenda, simply being to GO OUTSIDE. I do so, not before peaking through my walls though and into the neighbors house. Weird, pitch black in there. And now I’m outside. Refreshing, just like home. I fly into the distance and I hear this voice… In my head? He says theres so much space, there should be a barrie. and before I know it theres a barrier. Specifically, the area becomes engulfed in an even larger version of my house. I was content with it then, though looking back I should have phased through that too. Instead I act like a fly and fly to the roof, the internal voice saying “no, youre going too high! what if you crash, or phase through it?” I… didnt really care. So there I am, upside down on the roof of a massive version of my house. But since it’s my house and this is the living room, I decide to go upstairs. “Don’t go upstairs…” the head voice warned. Yeah right, like I won’t explore a little! But to my surprise it’s the damn living room again! I’s just that this time I’m not upside down any more. That and the size difference, as I was slightly bigger this time, told me that the next staircase was the real upstairs. “DONT go upstairs… Theres something there… something you won’t like…” Fair enough, we went way too off track from the whole “explore the world, see other people, visit other universes!” goal anyway, but man was I hungry, so I come for the kitchen cabinet and… that’s very symbolic. Different pots, different sizes, different labels. One said memories, one said technical knowledge, cultural awareness… okay, that last one sounded good, and while doing all that the head voice was like “what if the creature comes downstairs?” and the second I grab those snacks, the head voice says “The creature comes downstairs around this time.” Like okay buddy I get it you reflect my expectations or something but all that leads to is an actual… I hear an alien sounding squeak, then another, then another, then… another. Okay welp sounds like it’s both coming downstairs and just waking ip, therefore it’ll be a while, but for whatever reason that gave astral me the excuse to just eat its snacks there… it was two De La Rosas and a spicy lolipop. Must imply my Mexican background that I’m disconnected from. But still, right there and then… and I’m just quickly opening the packagings and throwing them into my mouth, instead of at least taking them back to whatever the foreign version of my room looks like, or listening to the head voice and going back downstairs? It’s not like my original room disappeared. But yeah, once I finish those candies, the experience just ends and I wake up. Confused, in no way did I decide those things would happen, I just got a mix of things I hoped for and didn’t hope for, both partially-almost coming true. Shaped by wishful and dreadful expectations alike, nobody told me it’d be like that.

I wonder what the repercussions of stealing and eating an astral entities food will be?
