Aaah... Sunday night. Hope you're all good.
I posted this exact thread in Dreams thread. But it seems appropriate here too. Hope that's ok.
I've been using isochronic tones and binaural beats for around a year now.
I would like to get your opinions on the use of these, btw.
Started off as just for fun and a bit or experimenting but things have started changing and I really need help with figuring out what is what.
Since I started using Theta waves (about a month ago), I have had sleep paralysis four times. Not scary. Just profound, I guess. There was a time recently too where I was really drowsy whilst watching TV but each time I closed my eyes to drift off, a strong rushing feeling came on, my hearing became distorted and I heard a loud, sharp popping sound in my head . That WAS frightening. I fixed it by getting up, turning on all the lights and walking it out a bit, and then it was gone. Was that a precursor to astral travel if I had allowed myself to drift off?
Since then the most amazing thing happened. In all of these, the strong rush and distorted sound thing happened. I'm pretty sure I achieved astral projection. BUT... I need you guys to give me some guidance on whether it REALLY was.
The first time it happened, I THINK I became lucid in one of my dreams, during a scene at a point were I made a decision to outstretch my arms and fall, in a standing, upright position towards the ground.
Whatever was going on around me at that point, I interrupted, and said something like "hang on a sec everyone, I need to do something".
I remember seeing the ground come towards my face, but I went straight through it.
I then felt a bit like I had woken up, my eyes were still closed but everything around me was golden with a purple, shimmering outline. A face (a bit like the typical "Greys" shape appeared but it looked like it was trying to tell me that I was trespassing. I lifted my hand (literally, physically) and my hand appeared in the field of vision where this face was, and pushed it away whilst telling it "no!" and it went. Moving my hand was a bit like moving through treacle but graceful too. I then looked at my body, to see if the rest of me looked the same, I physically moved my head to pan around, and it did.
I became unnerved and came around.
... and breathe... !
I made two consequent attempts using the same falling-into-the-floor-in-a-dream technique. But in both cases, my surroundings were more like real life.
The first time, I just wanted to look behind me to see if I could see my own body. AND I COULD!! I sort of gave myself a high five and went back to my body.
The second time I decided to be brave. I did the same thing in my dream but decided to try falling backward instead of forward, and got the same result, the strong rush and popping sound.
I levitated and floated towards the window. It was shut and the blind was down but I kind of knew I would go straight through it, and I did.
I ended up in a room where my sister was napping on her sofa and I got confused and tried to get into her body. Obviously, I couldn't and I got scared. But she woke up. My hands were giving off incredible, bright colours that appeared where ever I showed my open palms. I shone them onto my sister, who was amazed and onto the walls. My sis and I referred to them as "auras". I wonder if my sister had a dream about me that night but I'm too afraid to ask in case she says no!
I then flew back to my body and woke into a fully conscious state.
What does this sound like to you? I'm confused about the difference between my first encounter and then the more realistic appearance of the subsequent two.
I'm now in the process of practising becoming lucid by actively looking for a ravine to fall into or an opportunity to do the falling-onto-my-face thing. Sometimes I find a suitable situation but I'm interrupted by something or someone in the dream that hinders me. It's always accompanied with the rushing feeling and hearing distortion.
Phew... if you made it this far, I really appreciate your patience.

Oh btw, I've woken up talking to people that are in my dreams too. Does that mean anything??
