Hi all,
New member here
I had my first and only AP 20 years ago. I have wanted to repeat it ever since - it was so profound and utterly life-changing.
I had read a small book that day about AP (books on the subject I found very hard to get hold of in those days - this one was a mail-order one, almost like a pamphlet, probably stapled together the day before!).
This book's main message, if I remember correctly, was that you naturally AP when you are asleep.
That night, as I was dreaming, I was uncommonly lucid, and said to myself 'I'm sleeping so I must be AP'ing' whereupon I raised up to the ceiling, looking down upon myself. Everything looked as if it was being viewed through a pinky-purple-y lens. The book had mentioned this - something about the 3rd eye chakra colour.
Then - something very different.
I was absolutely yanked up and away at vast speed to somewhere else.
I was scared at this point, 'imagining' that skeletal demons were pulling me away - I then seemed to realise I was imagining these demons (so many levels of experience here!), felt more at ease, whereupon I found myself in a place rather like space - but I knew it wasn't. Instead of the black space, it was a very very dark brown, almost black, and the stars were not points of light but every so slightly diffuse.
The thing was, I really felt like I'd been here before - almost like I was 'coming home'.
Now, my memory gets very fuzzy at this point - I may or may not have seen the tunnel of light... I don't know, this is strange to be so unsure of something so profound, I know.
Next thing, back in my body, ..a very changed person.
As I said above - I have so wanted to experience this again but have never been able to.
I have tried a lot of things, including 'not trying'. Maybe one day...
