I'm not a beginner or an advanced projector. I exit only a handful of times a month. Recently I saw a post asking for people to share their experiences and I thought why not share one of my weirder journals from this year. 90% of my exits aren't that crazy. I typically enter through the void, free fall all the way down, then wander around uninhabited streets and villages until I eventually wake up. This one, however, I never experienced before and I understood that going in with low energy would most likely put me in the lower astral again, but since I wanted to test out a new movement technique I read about in an astral server, I decided to push ahead.

I was tired. I had planned to exit 2 days ago but I couldn't hold my awareness together during the transition and failed. Last night I was tapped out again, but I knew if I gave up, then I probably wouldn't try again for a while so I pushed through.

I used the WBTB method. I slept for 3-4 hours and woke up. I got on my phone, played a couple mahjong rounds then went back to bed. Before I turned off the lights, I realized I was still extremely tired and knowing if I brought this low energy with me, I would most likely stay in the lower astral all night. So, I brought up positive memories for a couple minutes which brought my mood and energy up a couple notches. Not a whole lot, but it was better than nothing. I then went to bed and that's when it all started.

After what felt like 20-30 minutes, I phased into the usual empty dungeon room in the lower astral. I've been there a few times free falling from the void. It's a desolate room with brown brick walls all around, a couple light fixtures here and there and a single large mirror off to the side. I did the mirror test again and got the usual response. The eyes of the reflection grew into large black saucers, then the figure morphed and changed a few times before it charged at me. It pump faked me out into the void for a couple seconds, but since I already expected it I returned back to the room a few moments later. I then remembered the map navigation tech from com and lazer so I tested it out. I pinched the space in front of me and zoomed in and out like on an iPad, but nothing happened. I turned around and walked out the door into a long winding narrow corridor where I started to hear wails and moans coming from all corners. I kept walking forward opening a couple doors here and there not seeing anybody inside I just kept moving. I eventually came out into a large open lobby area and that's when it all fell apart

Lust trap after lust trap hit me from all sides. The sad thing was no one forced it on me. I willingly walked towards it. In the past I would have had enough energy and will power to ignore it and focus on the mission, but after walking through a long boring corridor, I started to forget my goals. From there I descended into debauchery filled lucid dreams. I'm not going to go into detail of what took place lol, but as my awareness fell lower and lower until I eventually collapsed into regular dreams. From there I fell even lower lmao

My dreams went from mundane, to disturbing, to absolutely horrifying. The last one was so bad it jumped me back to lucidity. To make a long story short, I was in the upper echelon of a brutal dictatorship that was terrorizing people. In one of the earlier dreams I was part of the group they were victimizing. Word got out that I was going to defect so they set up an assassin to discreetly poison me in passing. I was aware of it and when the guy came by, I was able to wrestle the injection out of his hands and dosed him with it. I might have also got nicked but I wasn't sure. I take off running. The assassin, as he's falling, gets out a gun and fires multiple shots hitting me as he collapses. We're both down. I'm bracing for death wondering if the blood loss or poison would end me first. As I'm dying I start to hear disembodied voices all around me whispering the nastiest vile shit in my ear. WTF I'm already dying and now I'm hearing this shit??? The ridiculousness of the whole thing pissed me off so much that I became lucid. The moment I realized it, I tried the map navigation tech again. I pinched my fingers together and made the zoom out motion and I instantly flew up right back into the astral dungeon room from the beginning. From there I woke up.

I learned a lot from this experience. It taught me the value of recognizing my limits. If you don't have the energy to keep your awareness centered, then you shouldn't be venturing out at all. Period. It works the same way in the physical world. If you walk into a forest drunk, don't be suprised when you wake up with bruises and bumps. I'm tagging this as a positive experience since it taught me the consequences of ignoring my energy meter. I can always rest up and travel another day.
