I read once on a website about astral projection(OBE) that you could induce an OBE using your lucid dream as a “vehicle” to get there. They had said something like after becoming lucid you could jump off a tall building and yell out “induce out of body now!” (or something similar) then i guess you enter a brief SP and your astral body comes out of your physical body. Has anyone heard of this? I would like to try it the next time i become lucid. Its kinda hard for my mind to wrap around the differents between OBE and LD. I understand it as your consciousness coming out of your body and into the physical wierd where it is free to fly around and see actually physical things and not dream things that mimic RL reality but actually being inside of RL reality in a sort of dream body. what are your thoughts on all this?
Well, in my opinion (and I’m pretty sure I’m corrrect), AP and OBE are two different things that are commonly mistaken as one. AP deals more with spirituality and is a little far away from scientific proof. Supposedly, its when you manage to travel consciously through the Astral Plane which is a plane/dimension different from the one in WL, although it is said that you can have an AP and enter the WL plane. OBE, like the definition says, its a dream where the dreamer exits his/her’s body and is aware of it, but still a ND/LD
I’ve never had an AP nor an OBE (that I can remember) so I might be wrong.
as I know ; OBE isn’t a dream , OBE is when you exit your body but you still in the real world ; and AP is like FretDancer said
Oh Yes, you can have an out of body experience from a lucid dream. When I was first trying to astral project, I learned that an easier way to do it is to become lucid first and then come out of your body. So I found myself lucid in a dream. I started to state my affirmations “I Now! have an out of body experience” I floated up felt vibrations…the dream faded away and I was wide awake in my physical body.
I could see my room just the way it was. I continued to float to the ceiling. I turned around and could see my whole room. I investigated the roof of my house…My expereince went on, it was long, very vivid. I was clearly seeing the real world from the astral point of view.
Astral projection is the process of your energy body exiting your physical body.
Out of Body experience is being outside your body. So they are the same except the first one is just being aware of the process of getting out of the body, while some people suddenly just find themselves out side of it.
Every night though, everybody exits their physical body. The majority of everybody is not aware of this, but it is a natural process. So an out of body experience is being Aware of this natural thing that happens.
Most of the time, while LD’ing or even ND’ing, we are actually outside of the body, but we are bombarded by our own subconscious projections which is creating our unique dream. It’s like we are wearing virtual reality goggles in our bedroom.
We are seeing all kinds of weird things dreaming of whatever…but learning to ‘take off the goggles’ we then have an objective OBE.
Learning to clear away those projections, you can find yourself where you actually are in the real world.
Okay, that’s enough for now. And now I want to get back into having more OBE’s.
