Hi, I've been trying to AP and I have some questions...
My first question is, can you AP and still be aware of your body? I tried to AP while in meditation and I went up into space. I was floating around in space, looking at super nova's and other things in space, seemed very vivid and real. Yet I was still aware of my physical body, which makes me think it was just my imagination, unless it's possible to be aware of both at the same time? Is this even possible or was I just imagining?
Another time recently I was meditation, I was also upset about something and I had a big pressure in my third eye, I started to meditate and in my third eye I saw a guide or something. He just sort of popped up and he appeared in a human body, but he was riding something (I don't know what it was) which enabled him to fly... so he was flying on this thing and he introduced himself to me. Then I felt myself being pulled out my body, but it freaked me out bc I wasn't trying to AP at the time and I didn't go. I wish I would have gone with him...now one could say this was just my imagination, but I was not intending for any of this to happen.
I have also had some weird and vivid dreams which I wonder about. I have since learned that we AP in dream state sometimes and I wonder if they were not dreams, but AP. To be honest, the dream state has always confused me, when I was a teenager, I began to wake up in my dreams and know that I was dreaming, but I haven't done that in a long time and I have been trying to get back to that. I have been trying to do the, ask myself during the day if I'm dreaming and hope in my dreams I do the same thing. So far I haven't asked myself if I'm dreaming during my dreams. I have also always had some dreams which I later can't remember if I dreamt them or if they really happened.
Anyway, so back to my dreams that were so vivid. I had this dream years ago, but it was one of those dreams that was so vivid and real, that it always stays with you and I remember it clearly. I dreamt that I travelled to another planet. The planet was very plain looking, like our moon. But I know it wasn't our moon, because I got the sense that it was very, very far away. Yet I travelled there instantly, like I mentally teleported there or something, I didn't have to go in a spaceship. I literally was there in an instant.
Although it was a plain planet and lacked the beauty of Earth, I got the feeling that it was a very calm and peaceful place. I didn't physically see any entities, but I sensed that there were entities there, everyone was just kind of hanging out on this plain planet, and although it lacked a lot of the benefits we have on Earth (physical beauty, material stuff etc), I got the sense that everyone there was peaceful and they lacked all of the problems we have here, such as war and suffering.
I always assumed it was just a vivid dream, but with everything I have learned about since, I now wonder. If it was more than a dream, I would really like to find out where I actually was. I will try to consult my guidance and see if I can get any answers but I wonder if anyone has any ideas where I was?
Another dream I had was while I was in Miami 2 years ago on vacation. I was sleeping in a bed that was right next to a glass door and could look out at the city. I dreamt that a ufo crashed right in front of my window, I ran out to investigate and that is where I woke up. I would just assume it was a dream but it was so vivid and I have since read that Miami is a hot spot for ufo's so that makes me wonder.
Then a couple of days ago, before sleep I was trying to AP and listening to an AP guided meditation, I fell asleep but I had this dream. In the dream I was floating out of my body and floating around my house. I floated past a window and saw a person standing there, looking in the window at me. This freaked me out so bad I woke up. I'm not sure if this was a dream or an AP or both? Also, if I have an experience like this again, how do I keep it from freaking me out and waking up? I was just so shocked to see a person standing at my window in the middle of the night.
Also, at times when I'm dreaming I have had experiences where I wake up and it is like the dream still continues for a minute. For example, I was dreaming that my son (who was at his dads at the time) was tapping me and saying "mommy I need help" and I woke up and I could still hear him and physically feel him for a minute. These types of things have always freaked me out. I believe at least one time I experienced a physic attack while laying in bed. I was laying there but awake and my daughter was sleeping next to me. I heard her voice say something but I knew it didn't come from her, and then my whole body went into a seizure. I am 40 years old, I have never had seizure in my life. I just braced myself, but after a moment, it stopped. I feel it was some sort of attack, but I'm not really scared of this stuff, it just shocked me.
At any case, I would like to get the hang of this AP and do more so I would appreciate any advice or suggestions. And thank you for reading!
