I think this was more of an out of body experience than AP, because while I left my body, I did not get any higher than the first layer of astral space. But it’s an interesting experience and in some ways sticks with me more than my actual AP experience because of the physical element.

I live out in the country without many houses around. On this night there was no moon, heavy fog, and I have no exterior lighting so it was insanely dark. I go to sleep and this dream was much more like an out of body experience because I’m just out in the yard and it’s the exact same conditions outside as when I went to bed. I have this large earth mound in the center of my driveway loop and I’m consulting with 3 other people in a sort of secret meeting as we stand around it.

We’re discussing what to do about these locations that we know of. Each location is, simultaneously, an idea (dream logic, idk). We each know of one location which we share with each other. We all agree that it is not safe to go to these locations alone because “they” (aliens?) will try to confuse us if we go there. I don’t tell them that I actually know a second location because I want to keep this party going and they all want to wait.

The meeting is over and I set out to my secret location alone. I get in my truck and start driving despite not being able to see 10ft in front of me. Some confusion is setting in as I get there but not too bad. For some reason I start digging a hole but I don’t recall if I was digging for something buried there or for some other reason.

At this point I’m getting uncomfortable being there and decide to head back but don’t know where I am anymore. My return trip is on a bike. As I’m peddling along blind and aimlessly, I notice that I’m actually going in circles. I pretend not to notice. I want “them” to think I am more confused than I actually am so that they don’t make it any worse. I put in a couple more circles for good measure before eventually straightening out and then coming upon my neighbor’s house. Now that I am oriented I can finally walk in a straight line back home where I go back to bed.

At this point I fall into a different state. I know that I am in bed but I’m floating in a hazy blue nothingness. Around me are these little dust motes. Whenever one happens to touch me I get this little fragment of information but it’s just one word at best, not a coherent idea. That’s when I see a much longer, slightly brighter dust mote to my left and it’s headed straight for me. When it touches me I get, “Can I come in the house?”. My response is instant and comes out of me without any thought at all. The front of the dust mote where it touched me is like a single bright point and my response branches off from that point at a 90 degree angle. “No, you can’t.”

Just after my response I am startled wide awake by a loud noise. My window is exactly where the dust mote came from and there is a bird scratching at my window. It’s still completely dark out so it’s strange for a bird to be flying around.

I considered that “can I come in the house” was just my brain interpreting the sound of the scratching and the bird simply made another attempt. But the sound was so loud and startling that I can’t imagine I slept through the first attempt only to be awoken by the second.

Anyway, this wasn’t my first or the last dream involving these tricksters. Usually they are active characters, not vague alien “them”s watching from a distance. But they’re always trying to keep me confused and frustrated. Nor is it the only time I have met with that team of friendlies. Unfortunately I can’t often tell the difference when dreaming.

By realizing I am in a dream and confronting these tricksters who would pester me constantly, I seem to have shaken them for now. Beware of energy leaches out there.

I’ve only successfully astral projected once and met some kinda interdimensional beings (luciferians?)

This was a few years ago. I was bored at home one day when I remember binaural beats exist. I used them a lot in college, especially to help me fall asleep or for lucid dreaming but I hadn’t done it for years. I got pretty good at lucid dreaming but nothing too profound. I had a bunch of tracks I had never tried before still saved on my phone so I decided to try out astral projection. Had no idea what astral projection even was.

I’m laying there listening and it’s going pretty well. I really feel like the tone is affecting me and directing my vibrations or whatever. I get to what I think the Monroe people call Focus 12 before I start to float up. (At some point I get this tingly rush through my whole body but I don’t recall exactly when, I think it was here.) Up and up I go through darkness and then boom, I bust out into this bright open space filled with fluffy clouds. It’s like the tv version of heaven.

I can tell instantly that I have caught the attention of multiple someones but I can’t see them. I hear one of them say, “hey it’s one of those guys”. I thought that was kinda funny. One of those guys, that’s me.

Just like that I’m back in my body but still fully meditative. Two of those somebodies are standing over me like I’m on an operating table. They’re tall and slender without any features, just humanoid beings of light. It was so clear to me that I kept letting my eyes open just slightly to try to see them in my room but couldn’t so I kept them closed.

This conversation is telepathic of course so I’ll tell you the words I heard in my head with the meaning which was also clear to me in parentheses.

They ask, “what are you doing in there? (earth/ 3D reality)”
I say, “Is there somewhere else?”
“Yeah….(obviously)”
“Can I leave?”
“You can leave anytime you want.”
“Will I die?”
“Your body will die.. (why would you care?)”
“Well I don’t want to do that, my mom would be sad.”
They sort of react but not much more than a “hmm” or a glance at each other. Maybe they were talking to each other and I couldn’t hear it.

But at this point my track is ending, I have an itch on my face that’s driving me crazy, and I have to pee so it’s getting very hard to stay meditative. I tried to keep going but it was no use.
So anyway that’s my story. I’ve tried many times to do it again but to no avail.

I’ve only had two analogous experiences since. Both were dreams where i’m just laying in bed trying to sleep but there’s all these people in my room who I don’t know and they’re all paying attention to me. I can make my body get this buzzing feeling that’s also makes me buoyant and I slide around the room like an air hokey puck. Eventually I really get it going and actually manage to float into the air and they’re all pretty impressed and amused.

It’s definitely easier for me to do in a lucid dream when I get the chance but the people in my dreams aren’t always friendly. This has resulted in a couple awkward situations where I was accidentally mean (or horny) to the friendly ones which annoyed them. Or accidentally trusted some meanies and they tried to eat me. So I haven’t had any visits lately.

Next time I’ll know better and hopefully get some better information.

I talked to some kinda interdimensional beings/ luciferians maybe, not that I knew anything about it at the time. And maybe missed my chance to escape. Figured I would share my experience.

I had a bunch of tracks I had never tried before still saved on my phone so I decided to try out astral projection. Had no idea what astral projection even was. I’m not sure I knew what Gnosticism was back then either. Basically clueless. (Idk if I’m gnostic now but it seems like this story applies.)

It’s like the tv version of heaven but more sunset colors. (At some point I get this tingly rush through my whole body but I don’t recall if it was here or before I started floating.)

So anyway that’s my story. Maybe that was my chance to get out. I’ve tried many times to do it again but to no avail.

I’ve only had a couple comparative experiences since. Both were dreams where I’m just in my room trying to sleep and there’s all these people in my room focussed on me. I’m able to make myself feel very tingly which also makes me buoyant and slip around the room like an air hockey puck. Eventually I really get it going and actually get up into the air and they all seemed very amused and proud of me.

It’s definitely easier to float in a lucid dream but sometimes my dream visitors aren’t friendly. So I’ve been accidentally mean (or horny) to the nice guys and offended them. Or accidentally trusted the mean ones and they tried to eat me. So I haven’t had many visitors lately.

Next time I’ll know better and hopefully get some better information.
