I can talk about some APs I've had but they are very short haha! I can't seem to hold the state for very long. I have to practice more. ^^
My first time was when I stayed at my parents' house. I fell out of my body and realized I was APing. The air was tinged pink and my astral body felt very light. It was very interesting to feel my conscious floating around and also be aware of my physical body lying down at the same time. I could feel my eyes were shut tight but I could fly around outside! Amazed by the experience, I floated out of my room and down the steps to catch a glimpse of my parents' dog. He was waiting at the bottom of the stairs and perked his ears up. He could see me!
I laughed and said, "Sit ____!" and he did. It was very amusing. I floated around the house some more, very curious. I tried to make wind or something come out of my hands since I'm in this state but nothing happened xD so I just floated around and around until I sensed that my mother was coming up the steps. "Oh shiet" I thought. "If I don't go back to my body fast, my mom will think something is wrong," and I imagined a silver cord on my back being pulled back straight into my body really fast ^^ zip!! I opened my eyes the moment my mother opened the door to my room and I pretended to just wake up LOL.
When I went to work that day, I felt very light and bouncy on my feet. As if I could fly out of my body at any instant ^^ looking back at it now, I probably should have grounded right after the AP experience, but everything was fine. Nothing bad happened luckily XD
Another experience similar to that is one where I got up and realized the air was tinged blue. The curtains in my room at my parents' house are blue but they looked especially vivid. The air was VERY blue. I'm not sure what it is but it could be the energy of the environment, perhaps. I did feel very calm during that AP.
I've had countless times where I was fooling around and rolled out of my body very crudely (like falling out of my body through the side and landing on the ground, or somersaulting xD), and then one of my companions would... hmmm....
do some NSFW things to me
those were also very brief. No flying around lolol.
There was also a time where I fell out of my body and suddenly had the idea to see my creator, or well, the creating force of all, I guess? ^^ I flew up up into the sky but didn't get to see anything else besides sky
that experience ended really quickly. I think my concentration broke...
Lastly, I had an AP through a guided meditation hypnosis video! Actually, I'm not even sure what to call this. It should be AP since I had full control of my consciousness, right? I think I talked about this experience before in my past life thread. Not sure. Anyhoo, I fell into trance and then realized I was APing around the beach that the video told me to envision myself. I flew to a grassy field from the beach and rocky area and... there were many people roaming there. Many were in traditional costumes and clothing from different time periods.
I realized that these people represented different memories I had from different past lives. I flew around, just admiring how clear everything was again. I was looking for specific memories tied to one of my companions, but it was hard to tell from looking at these people where I should go. ^^; Somewhere around me, I heard someone call out a name which I think is from my priestess past life. Surprised, I turned around. No one was looking at me? I flew around... around... then noticed someone who looked like an Indian chieftain chasing after me and yelling. "What the--" I thought, alarmed when I saw him carrying a hatchet and waving at me to get my attention. Did he know me? Maybe from some other past life (not the priestess one). I flew away real fast because I was scared of the hatchet
Maybe next time I go to that place, I'll go talk to him and recover some past life memories. I'm not sure what he wanted ^^; hopefully for something good!
Eventually, I found some memories from the time period I was looking for. I observed a lady in smart-looking attire, a hat and dress, disembarking from a steam ship (me?). That scene shifted into the place where I assumed she lived... A cozy-feeling room with a tall, ornate oval mirror. I looked into the mirror expecting to see a closeup of myself in that past life, but saw instead my current self floating there. Naked!! Why? I don't know!
"What the--" I made a surprised face. "That's not supposed to happen, right?" And then I think I woke up from the surprise lolol.
I might be missing some things but those are the experiences I can think of right now xD I have many more lucid dreams I can share though! Next time~ I'm getting hungry now ^^;
Calin wrote:Lucid dreaming and OBE are different, at least for me. Lucid dreaming is super easy, shut my eyes and get in a trance and off I go. OBE is much harder to actually achieve, physically detaching yourself from your physical body other than a silver cord requires a realllly deep trance. I had a spirit help me to do it last year and it took me a good two weeks to recover from the physical impact of true separation. Robert Bruce has an excellent book on how to do it, starting with exercises like focus bouncing on and off walls around you, and visualisation exercises.
Oh, and to comment on your reply again, Calin, it depends on what I was doing in the AP if I'm tired or not. Doing NSFW things with my companions tends to make me feel tired (but happy!) afterwards. Just flying around and observing doesn't. ^^ and yes, I'll have to do some more practice with APing ahaha! Many of my companions love traveling so I'd love to be able to travel with them for a long time (instead of just short spurts like I do now).
very interesting. I flew around with my "wings" (they didn't become full ones) and was pretty content until I woke up again.
