its a piece of piss, children do it all the time.
step one - get healthy, stop smoking weed [ ever notice how it stops you having / remembering dreams? ]
step two - keep a dream diary
step three - practice visualisation, visualise the room you are in with your eyes closed....thats actually harder than it sounds
or visualise a ball of light...whaever feels comfortable.
step four - possibly the most important --- stop 'trying to figure it out'! ---
children dont waste thier time thinking about it...they just do it.
get on with your life, make the effort to keep that dream diary, but dont focus on it or worry about it, make the visualisation / meditation part of your night time routine, but just do it for the sake of it, not as a means to an end.
then the dreams become more vivid.....then gradually, they become lucid [ setting two alarms will help ]
then one day you will have a lucid dream so powerful that you will know that you were somewhere else...
i'm just getting back into all this.....after a 10+ years break....
making slow progress....but my dreams are deffo getting very intense these days...
as for astral projection
i am 100% certain that i achieved it when i was in my late teens.....lower your expectations [ maybe? ] you wont be able to fly to the moon at will....but you may return to a park where you had happy days as a child....you only take your heart with you, your head stays in bed with the rest of your body...so you only go to places that mean something to you
so forget everything you've ever read about miltitary remote viewing....that is all so easily debunked
just my opinion...i'm the least new-agey person you could ever hope to meet but i knkw what i've seen maaan.
we are capable of doing it
i wonder how many ppl will stop reading after the bit where i mention stopping weed? its not a magic plant, its just a plant, and IMO, if you're after lucid dreams / astral projection it will not help
I found quitting cigarettes to help me quite a bit have my first serious real OBE/NDE along with drugs.
I've been off cigarettes for 3 years on aug 9th. After 15 years of smoking cigs.
I think stopping watching TV helps too.
That shit will brainwash you backwards back to sleep.
I've slowed down quite a bit on weed now days mostly because I'm bored with it... just use it to maintain some medical issues legally now an I do agree it honestly helps those even though I can also admit to and agree I am addicted to marijuana like I am soda pop, sugary candy and WAS cigarettes. (not any more... booyah!)

I was having extremely vivid dreams not long ago and actually was keeping a dream diary in hopes of being able to learn to start lucid dreaming. I think I stopped for a while when I built my new PC and erased the ol dream diary and have since forgot. I need to start practicing again. I was getting close to Lucid dreams. I could feel it. Closer and closer with each dream I remembered and wrote down and studied later.
that is something I really would like to learn. Honestly.
However, I don't think I will EVER cross another experience like I had on drugs without even trying.

..an since having a few overdoses trying to get back there, I realized there is no need to force it, I'm lucky I've seen it the few times I have and I'm just trying to work on integrating real life back into my real life now days without going insane. lol.
I have my spurts where i go sober for a while and then my spurts when I delve into drugs here and there.
I just finished pulling myself off MXE and some other bullsh*t they have at the local liquor store that feels good when you stuff it up your nose. I do agree with you it's not always best to recommend or use drugs. I can feel that one from experience.
However...
I'm a bit miffed I can't get back to meet our creator again easily and I sure wish a lot more people could believe it but they need to feel it first.
There is a breakthrough past breakthrough, homedogs,and it's well beyond anything we can even explain or feel anywhere near this world or the next. lol
So amazing and scary an unreal and awe-inspiring, breathtaking and earth-shattering to feel it for yourself!
I see the OP didn't quite make it all the way there.
Perhaps it's good he didn't.
I'm convinced everyone doesn't always make it back after playing around in the REAL out of body.
And the name "justinsayno" pushed the Nancy Reagan warning button for me conjuring up images of innocent people being marginalized and teenagers wanking themselves silly and getting friction burns from their abstinence bracelets.
Lol I'm sorry I really strive not to be a jerk and not even drop leaves into the pond as far as tension goes but that was pretty damn funny. again I apologize..
Also, do you really think they were plotting to kill you and bury you in the woods? Come on, man, be realistic.
Please read again.
He was unconscious. They thought he might be dead.
They admitted they were wondering what they might have to do with him.
i' imagine it was just a quick moment of thought that may have frightened him momentarily.
Don't take it to heart, but you're a drama queen, man. First you say it was cut with heroin with nothing to back it up. What gave you this idea anyway, the brown coloring in the binders and fillers, haha? The "must read!! super creepy!
Should he not be excited about something that obviously scared the crap out of him at the time?
I get a bit drama-y myself around here but only because of people like you who don't like to admit what he really experienced might be what he really experienced. That's what starts to suck. I understand you think he's being a baby or whatever but don't tell him what he experienced. You weren't there.
