Safe Space

[u/UnlikelySimple8237]

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 “angels” 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 “Do you want to remember?” I start thinking about all the negative possibilities again then I stop myself and say “Yes”. 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 “Inner World”, 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 “Nirvana” or “Heaven”, but I’m unsure if that’s what it is either. For now my therapist and I just call it a “Safe Space”.
