I read something unbelievable in one of my books (Interdimensional Universe - The new science of UFOs, paranormal phenomena & otherdimensional beings By Philip Imbrogno) about those "aliens" that I want to post, but it's really quite long. I don't want to occupy this OBE space since it's relevence to this topic isn't quite strong, it's more physical than astral. I'll see how I can get it posted. Hopefully the scanner will make nice copies so I don't have to type it all out. I'll edit this and add the location where I post this to once it's done.
PS, You've got my best wishes Shy.

It may be more relevant than you think man. Many of us have experiences we never mention, because of how crazy they might sound, even on this forum, lol:)
shy, has been so honest about her experiences that I'm willing to say that when I was a teenager it felt like aliens were abducting me. I was terrified, and had no body to talk to about the experience. I also didn't know how to make it stop at the time. I mean it was the sleep paralysis & OBE phenomenon, but the entities I saw looked like those aliens. I now understand more about OBEs than I did then, but I think it's important to talk about it so that it's easier to notice patterns. Also, someone else's experience can be an important piece of the puzzle. It's sort of like the correlation between poltergeists & PK. When I was a kid I thought I was haunted, & didn't know I was making things move.
It could be that the things people see in sleep paralysis or when fully out of body are not what they seem, but we can only figure that out by sharing information & experiences:)

o12, i'm glad I'm not the only person who has felt that way: shadow people, grey aliens, freaky white static people. I'm not going to say they are evil, or even anything more than our own minds, but they are scary. I was so confused, still am. but at least I have you guys to share these experiences with. I don't think many other people really understand.
I have found it helpful to confront my fears while in the waking state throughout the day. Often while in meditation I begin to become aware of the thoughts of others, & begin to feel presences around me. I now find myself welcoming these presences, because I know that it means I'm on the threshold of an OBE. Also, PK and other psi abilities are stronger at this stage. In terms of the fear, I look at the entity directly with an open heart. I've been experiencing these entities for decades, and I still exist, so I get the impression that they represent an opportunity for spiritual growth:)
I think that discussing these things is very helpful, because it provides an opportunity for looking from another point of view, and as you say, realizing that we are not alone:)

I had a really almost lucid flying dream for most of my remembered dream last night. I started teaching the process to another in the dream. I have noticed there are certain conditions the mind creates to make one accept the dream reality. While it may not be as exact as conscious reality it seems there are strands or conditions which must remain for a dream to retain its flow in a location.

There is no failure only feedback. Failure is when you stop trying.
That is cool, full flying dreams used to be rare for me. I used to always barely get off the ground. These were dreams that I would remember in detail for years without the need to right them down. In hindsight, & in light of my experiences with OBE; I think these flying dreams may have been OBEs. I say this because there would often be anomalies corroborating the experiences as real time.
Anyway, I think that it's interesting to try and bring back as much of the tactile memory of non-physical reality PK as possible. Every time I have PK dreams, my PK is more powerful when I come back from it:)

Deja vu at 21:44! I've seen this from somewhere... yet i haven't -- How odd. Dream world is physical and this isn't... That's what i always thought too! In dream world we are at full potential... Here, not so much. Wow... quantum physics are really ... confusing. (we in the school got a little different than that. I understood something some parts of it. ) Uhh... so consciousness keeps us from that higher thingy?... So, in sub-conscious we can do PK, because we bypass the reality...? (i have no idea what i am talking anymore lol.) I don't get it... So everything i see is fake?
(will edit this post if i watch the other ones too.) -- First part: Complete. 2-nd and 3-rd part: Will watch tomorrow....... i mean today. --

I recommend his "My Big Toe", Trilogy books man. It may be easier to digest the information at your own pace. The books have more robust explanations, but whether reading the books or watching a lecture, I guess you have to pay attention. I've watched the lectures more than once, & have read the books as well:)
One of the best approaches to OBEs & expanded consciousness in my opinion. The Phasing method is probably my most frequently successful OBE techniques. Here is a PDF on the subject, compiled by Xanth, on http://www.astralpulse.com
The Emerald Tablets were posted as a link on the forum already, but I wanted to highlight the section titled "Space Born'. It speaks of desire & eventual OBE success:)
