From my sketchbook/2012
I’ve had flying dreams since I was a kid. They were usually thrilling, enthralling, amazing. Unless I had stress at school, which caused me to be less able to feel good while flying in the dream–I’d be sort of clawing to move upward, trying my best to remain near the clouds, or just a few feet from the ground, and feeling distress. Later, I began to manipulate my dreams so I could consciously, while dreaming, command myself to fly here or there, to control aspects of the dream. This is another way to feel completely enthralled, by the way, to be in control during a dream. As I got older, I began having what I call true astral experiences of a remarkable kind (in my experience, there are a multitude of types of astral experiences one can have), where I am completely lucid, in fact awake but so relaxed as to be blissful in the body. I am seeing, but not with my real physical eyes, and I am being pulled as though a great magnet, some kind of invisible force. This force gently but powerfully moves me along. It is stunning to experience this because you SEE and are truly THERE. You are not in your body, but you are in fact truly aware and seeing beyond your physical body, it is not a dream. In these experiences, you can potentially collect data as you have literally been somewhere, it is “remote viewing” and something worth exploring. So far I do not manipulate to purposely go places in these astral travels, it is more that I am being given the experience and so for me it is a great experiment unfolding.
I began listening to Astral Projection cd produced by Eldon Taylor’s InnerTalk and this has created a new experience in my dreams concerning flying. I don’t recall ever having this kind of flying dream. It is that I was flying around, about 14 feet off the ground, and decided to go into a jewelry store. My grandpa used to wear a ruby ring and I sometimes wonder if I should buy a ruby ring to wear to remember him by. So, I flew into the store and wanted to lower myself to the ground. I was unable to do this. I was so weightless, I could not bring myself down! I security guard below caught my attention and I shouted out to him. He kindly reached up as I stretched and reached down, and his hand was able to grasp mine to lower me from the air. It was great to have a trusty helper, and strange to be so weightless as to be unable to ground myself. (This dream will be fun to share on a new page on FB, the Dream Circle page, where I’ll see what happens in the way of analyzing this dream, as dreams teach us so much).
