Wow what an odd synchronicity that just occurred lol. we both uploaded AP videos within 10 minutes of each-other. i totally understand the concept of this video. i think the fact that these occurrences being by default fully subjective to each of us while obviously the largest factor, may be the reason it's hard to tell the two apart since you've been experiencing both for so long. which is impressive in its own right. I only recently discovered them & therefore for me at least, being in an LD versus entering into an AP are vastly different experiences and always have been... Here's a thought I've been having recently though so I'd love to hear your thoughts on it man, how would you view this theory; I find it potentially possible for them both to be part of the same realm. However, I would argue the notion of awareness itself (being the result of some plane of consciousness) as a factor that could in turn, place LD's in the astral realm, versus a psychological state. In theory LDs are just more-so experienced as a weaker, less controllable & immersive version of an AP. Just an idea I've been toying with. Let me know what you think haha
LD is AP limited by the belief that you're in a LD. You can create while projecting, this is the same as lucid dreaming only the belief is different while experiencing it.
Why don't you conduct a test. Write down something on paper or anything really, then make a video telling where to find this paper and have someone astral project to it and then comment.
I've been lucid dreaming and astral projecting a lot, just like you. There is a stark difference between lucid dreaming and astral projecting, in fact a scary difference. I don't think it's appropriate to say that just because you can't explain how the jump from lucid dreaming to astral projection works, means that they are one in the same. They are not. Lucid dreaming is becoming aware of dreaming while in a dream. While in a dream you are seemingly plopped down into a random setting and experiencing the setting like just any other dream, except you are aware of it. When you astral project you fuckin float out of your body (have some AP experiences under my belt, along with a lot of friends) in a familiar place - where ever you fell asleep. I have even had experiences where I see people that are AWAKE and see them walking around, doing their mundane tasks, and have confirmed that THAT is what they were doing and where they were while I was projecting. The differences are scary. To me, lucid dreaming isn't at all as impressive as projecting. You just realizing you are dreaming - not crazy. While projecting, I have to vibrate through what seems like a wormhole of light, burst out of it with a deafening high pitch frequency playing, and I float out of my body into a world that is somewhat a copycat of this physical one. Lucid dreaming and Projecting may be related, but NOT the same thing, at all.
Not to mention how much more aware you are when projecting. There is a higher sense of clarity on what's going on, like if you were awake. While when dreaming things dip in and out of what makes sense, you don't always keep lucidity, etc.
Yes, I have been to the sun. lmao. You can go anywhere you want really as far as I've experienced and read in books. Whether or not they are factual representations of what planets look like, or if they are made up in our mind - who is to say. But yes you can. (:
thanks for your reply (: that sounds really cool. i would love to check out an alien planet lol. i've heard some people say that you can look at the past, is this true? how would we know if the past we are looking at is not just made up by our minds though? some interesting stuff lol.
in my experience there's definitely something different about OOBE's. The feeling of "separation" you get when your "consciousness is leaving your body" is unique, it's nothing like dreaming. At least for me, when I'm in that "mind awake/body asleep" state, my body feels weird and I'm fully aware that I'm laying in my bed. Then suddenly I feel my limbs levitating, like there's no gravity.
João Guilherme Castro I feel like no one ever remembers this lol. This is exactly i think they are different, not necessarily brother and sister, but cousins of some sort.
The Next Big Thing actually what happens to me the most is the “wake back to bed method. Sometimes I wake up early for no reason and can’t sleep, then I go back to sleep like an hour later and it’s like an 80% chance I’ll get sleep paralysis.
@@jotaguisc I've had lots of amazing hallucinations trying wake induced lucid dreaming at night just when I go to bed.... and the experience is same experience described for astral projection..but I really want to know if astral projection is real or it's something that just happens in your brain...I would like it to be real but I don't want to believe in something if it's not real
The Next Big Thing what science regards as “real” is just what they are able to perceive and mesure. I think the real question here is if OBE’s are just some sort of “brain bug dream”, or it is ACTUALLY our consciousness experiencing separation from our body, which can lead to several other questions.
I remember that when I was younger I would have dreams where I was floating around and I would do whatever I wanted and I just thought that was 100% normal and It was the best feeling.
+By Skyler I was reading about AP and LD last night and now I get more information about it by one of my favorite RUclipsrs. It could possibly be synchronicity.
I agree with you 100 %. Astral Projection whould be soooo easy prove. If you can have a Lucid dream about anything, then ofcourse you could have a LD where you exit you body, see your body, and walk around in a place that you recognize from the real world.
Whenever I have a lucid dream, things are much more imaginative and colourful. When I project, things are dark and mundane and always start the same way with the same sequence of events.
Honestly, I feel astral projection and lucid dreaming are completely different, or at least from my experiences. I've also had episodes of sleep paralysis and "astral projection" since I was a kid, not having a word for it.. I've also been able to lucid dream since i was a kid. For me lucid dreaming is a dream where I am lucid and have control of the dream, and thats it. Astral projecting is something completely different for me. During astral projection I can feel sensations that i've never experienced before, things that would seem impossible for me to make up with my mind alone. Entering sleep paralysis I normally experience the feeling of an violent wind accompanied by a whooshing sound (sometimes a buzzing) and an intense electrical sensation throughout my body as if I'm being shocked but not in a painful way. It almost feels like some weird energy entering my body starting from my head down. I really don't know how to explain it. As a kid not really having the words for it it felt like i was being "possessed" and the experiences were so crazy and scary after "leaving my body" it left me not able to sleep for literally days when it first starting happening.I slept with my light on for a few years,every night, not that I was a kid that was scared of much quite the opposite actually and It could still sometimes be somewhat frightening, sometimes amazing, always unpredictable and different. I'm now able to induce it, from time to time. It's definitely had a big impact on me. Funny, I often describe the experiences as being "realer than real". I've not yet had the opportunity to try DMT so I cant compare my experience to a DMT trip, hopefully one day, if I ever get the chance. Reading through others experiences with DMT my experiences with "astral projecting" seem quite similar in some ways, which probably sounds crazy to you. Searching on the internet I haven't really come across experiences of other people having sleep paralysis and "astral projections" with the same intensity and detail and weirdness in the way I've experienced. I'd like to go into detail about my experiences more, but with this wall of text people probably haven't made it this far into my ramblings, also its hard to even put it into words. I don't even know.. maybe what I experience isn't even astral projection at all. I don't know what else to call it though, any thoughts?
Describe ur “weird” experiences. I am a skeptic who came to this video because i dont think astral projection is real, i believe its just lucid dreaming. Wud b interesting to hear ur experiences so i can compare them to dreaming
I've been astral projecting for 14 years and I've had lucid dreams here and there throughout my entire life. If anyone wants any advice on how to achieve either of these states, feel free to ask. I know that astral projection and lucid dreaming feel very different from one another, but I definitely feel that there can be a connection as I've experienced this cross-over that he mentions in the first part of the video. Often times, I'll start out in an OBE then it will gradually drift into a dream-state. The main difference is level of awareness. In a lucid dream, dream logic definitely applies and even though I'm aware that I'm dreaming there's still a fuzziness and malleability about the experience. In astral projection, normal logic applies and it feels 99% as real as waking reality. The experience is also much less malleable. Again, let me know if you have questions! :D
Sebastian Holder I have a few on my channel. I have one titled "How to Induce Sleep Paralysis" which is the first step. Basically the idea is to wake yourself up during REM sleep and stay very still. The other video I recommend is "How to Have an OBE" which covers the second step of the process where you actually disconnect from the body. So, you can check those out if you like. But if you have any specific questions, feel free to ask those too. :D
Adino Tugwell With regard to SP and OBE it has varied over the years. When I was about 16 and 17, I'd have sleep paralysis several times a week and maybe one of those would result in an OBE. During my "dry spells" I've gone as much as three month in between episodes of sleep paralysis. Most of the time, if I'm not actively trying to get sleep paralysis, I get it about once every two weeks with every other time resulting in an OBE. Currently, my last bout with sleep paralysis was a couple weeks ago, but OBE is a bit more difficult for me to reach now because I'm co-sleeping with my toddler son which tends to keep me in a lighter stage of sleep and interfere with leaving the body. Lucid dreaming, I had cultivated a practice of back when I was 15, and I would get them several times a week back then when I was actively trying. But now it only happens every now and then. I just got one a few weeks ago though, but it didn't pan out to much because I forgot I was dreaming after a few minutes of having realized. That's the worst. XD But I currently don't actively practice daily to get it now, but I welcome it as it comes.
why dont you and your girlfriend do an experiment? get her to write down a 4 number combination and leave it on a table or bench somewhere each night, then you try to astral project each night to see what it is, either you'll be able to read the note, or it wont be there or is astral projection not this simple? (i understand it would take days, weeks even of trying)
@@number1fandb this wouldn't work, as if you we're actually just dreaming you could, again, just project the card into it's spot with mental power. Someone else would have to know the card or number without you knowing in order for this to work. The point is to see if we are experiencing this "concrete" 3D physical reality from a legitimate nonphysycal spiritual (possibly 4D and higher) realm that's "parallel" to or overlapping the lower physical.
I have had those exact dream/projection state of mind experiences myself since I was 8 years old and now i'm 53. The flying part where you are going up and start coming down not being able to maintain levitation, I've had alot of those, then there are times when I am showing off to my friends as if i was dreaming about being able to levitate by accessing the yawning feeling in my head to enable me to go up in the air. As for the remote viewing my auntie used to tell me that to get to that degree of state of mind requires practice like an exercise. there are different states of mind regarding sleep time, dreaming state time, and real dreaming time and real time projection. I'm not knowledgeable on which one I am involved in at the time except i know its not the real time dreaming state which I believe takes alot of effort in exercise practice to obtain, like studying for an exam by practicing going into the astral projection state of mind and exercising on opening your eyes in real time while in astral mode and being consciously aware of time at that moment, whereas sleep dreaming you have no conscious awareness of time, are you kinda following me? Sorry I just needed to share what I've been thru cause all my friends or acquaintances haven't a clue to what I'm trying to explain to them or relate to it like I got from your video. I'd like to hear from you or just comment back here so I can read your thoughts on my experiences. Thanks, Dale.
I have also done astral projection and lucid dreaming. The fact that you cross over from one state to the other maybe means you return to your body and start a lucid dream, or that you travel from the astral plane to the plane where your thoughts become manifest. And those stories that you told of when you were tripping on dmt or something and you said to the entities that you met during that time "this time I'll remember etc" but you doubt it afterwards. What seems to me from all of this is that you ought to trust yourself more, something this society has been conditioning us not to do. Mainstream society and science have a problem accepting these things because of a stuff like: having an inherent prejudice about studies on this matters. If a study on astral projection comes out where there the subject gets right a number with several digits without moving and all wired up with brain resonances, they call it its fringe science, pseudoscience, he got it by luck, they were faking it, etc. Its comic and sad at the same time. There is at least one on youtube, "Scientific proof Astral Projection...". Another consequence of this prejudice is that it prevents more study and research on this matter. Another reason is that they look at the evidence separately, not seeing the big picture that it all paints together, not just about OBE, it's synchronicity, psychic phenomena, rainbow light bodies, aliens, cryptids, paranormal activity, remote viewing, opening the 3rd eye, past life regression, reports of blind people seeing on near death experiences, psychadelic experiences, native legends and it goes on and on. All of it has tons of evidence, they can't all be fake. And also the fact that some people don't want this to be known, it's really as the lyrics of the song Uprising go.
Sleep paralysis is hardcore. The most intense bad “trip” of reality it seems at the time. Trying to scream, but can’t, tall dark figures picking me up out of bed and dropping me down a well, free fall feeling to eternity. Repeated dream loops, over and over again. I read that certain low frequency sounds can cause sleep paralysis.
Your argument about your 100+ DMT trips and having Astral Projection experiences before even knowing the word reminded me of your "Psychedelic Ego" video ;D
I think the reason people don't want to believe astral projection could just be lucid dreaming is because they want to believe there's more to this world than they once believed there is.
It sound like it's an ego thing, people who want to believe in astral projection, want to isolate themselves from the universe as it is. It's just one big maya.
I think people don’t want to believe in astral projection either because they haven’t accessed the ability or don’t want to believe there’s more after this life. Either way, those of us that know what we experience can tell there’s a huge difference in astral and any type of dreaming including lucid.
Only guy i've found on youtube who had a lucid dreaming/astral projection experience and is not just straight up saying that "Yeah i left my body and it was life changing" but rather questioning whether astral travel even is real. Kudos to you for not fooling yourself and your audience into believing in this stupid phenomenon. Because as you said, there surely would have been quite solid proof of astral travel if as many people experienced it as I see on youtube comment sections and other places
My friend, i hope you don't get offended if i say this, but instead of just blindly dismissing it as a "stupid phenomenon", on purely theoretical and subjective grounds, why don't you try to leave your body and verify it yourself? There are a few major differences between astral projection and dreams that he did not address: Blind people who go through OBEs are able to see, even if they were born blind ( a good example would be the 21 cases in Dr.Kenneth Ring's NDE study) Astral projectors are able to accurately report events in real time, even if such things are happening miles away( the late parapsychologist Scott Rogo was in a conference trip when he decided to visit his roommate back home by astral projecting. He discovered his roommate invited a stranger, which he confirmed when he came back from the trip weeks later. Knowing skeptics are not very trusting of anecdotes, he provided 8 different methods). There are several different techniques to astral project, like Mr.Rogo's Leaving the Body or Robert Monroe's books. Or you can search a tutorial. But just sitting back and asking for "proof" isn't going to do much. Can you take a piece of ectoplasm and put it on a silver platter? You can do the friend test, for example. Even this RUclipsr agreed that it is a wonderful idea.
well idk, i had many lucid dreams in the past, but never had an "astral projection" until one day i came back tired as usual and went to sleep, then i "woke up" because of freaking vibrational sounds in my ears that was soooo fckling loud i thought that my head explode or smth. then it got quiet and i started seeing my room, i thought i woke up so i tried to sit, and i noticed that something is strange i felt heavy, and light sources from the street light my room way brighter than normal, then i noticed that i dont breath and then i realised that its not my physical body and i instantly thought that i died and that im a ghost now, i was freaked out and in a blink of an eye i felt some magnetic force pulling me back to the body. then i woke up for real in my paralyzed body, thinking about what the fuck just happened ( at the time i had no knowledge of astral projection). When i regained full body controll i calmed down and went to do some internet research... :D THAT SHIT WAS NOTHING LIKE LUCID DREAM. but ye idk, maybe the mind just randomly created this experience for no reason, it randomly occured few more times, but i was afraid of it so everytime i heard vibrations and shifting sound frequencies in my ears i would start thinking about waking up and stopping it. Now when i want to try and do by following some guide, it doesnt work... =/ But idk to me its big difference, but i guess i experienced just a glimpse, but still then, why would it feel so different and so new/scary even if i had many lucid dreams. In lucid dreams i just feel like safe af because i know everything is in my mind. but that shit was smth different, i was aware of stuff, but idk it didnt felt like im inside my mind/consciousness. that is the difference for me i guess...
Absolutely love this channel. You come across as very sincere and I deeply appreciate how hard you try to remain practical with these very strange experiences.
Astral Projection is NOT lucid dreaming, when you astral project you feel a falling at light speed sensation and u will hear a buzzing or ringing in ur head the same on psilocybe or n-nDMT
We don't give a f*ck about your opinion on this guy, he is very kind, share a lot of information with us and help bring back conciousness to this planet, i don't see how you can have a problem with him if you follow this channel.
i experienced lucid dreaming/astral traveling once, where i was flying around in the surreal afterlife, which is very pure and untainted, and i chatted with my late father, who looked very young around 20s or 30s, as well as his friend, a 15-year-old golden retriever named Hangar. it was a positive experience for me, but different, like a different world.
Julian Goncalves who's to say they don't? From what I've gathered, areas such as Area 51 and other bases are protected by other entities and there's usually astral traps near them.
Astronomy guy What brought you to that conclusion? I'm pretty sure if I was "retarded" I would hardly be able to reply to a comment on RUclips with a thought provoking question. The government has been using astral projection/Remote viewing (and other psychic things) in their operations as proven by the declassified releases by the C.I.A. Anyways, the government doesn't tell the people everything that's going on in the world. I don't understand how me saying "Who's to say they aren't?" automatically conveys the idea that I'm "retarded".
Izzy G Ok I actually re-read what I wrote and I would be lying if I said it didn't sound crazy 💀. But come on, he called me retarted that's so uncalled for. Edit: plus it's not like I lied necessary, it's literally all in the CIAs released files. It does sound outlandish though.
I been astro projecting and lucid dreaming since age four and I’m now 26 & everything your saying is accurate cuz I thought I was the only person that believed that astro projecting & lucid dreaming are the same. Thanks for making it make sense.
Just want to say having watched nearly all of your videos that you are a legend and you would probably one of six people dead or alive I would choose to have a sesh with. Keep up the awesome videos!
Lucid dreaming is difficult, well, at least for me. However, when it happens, it's an amazing experience. One lucid dream of mine was just of myself talking to two other versions of myself. I was experiencing the conversation from three different perspectives simultaneously and was aware of it.
ive had so many lucid dreams it feels like theres another place, and sometimes i end up in the same places. Outer space always looks like a cartoon to me and i cant change that. since ive had so many lucid dreams I feel theres also a correlation with dreams. some places in dreams are the same as in lucid dreams. I dont know what it all means though
Krazy Mittenz I highly recommend listening to JRE #127, its a fascinating podcast, thats where I learned about the various dimensions, Im sure you would find it interesting
I've had similar experiences as a kid very frequently (not so much anymore), but when I realized that I was dreaming I always began to try to float, like "oh yeah this is possible here!". It was always very challenging to keep flying it was only a temporary gentle gliding but I would begin to descend shortly after jumping. Gave me chills to hear you explain something that I've experienced and thought to be unique to myself.
this is exactly how I fly in my dreams. its more like being in zero gravity than flying. Sometimes this happening is what makes me realize I'm dreaming and begin lucid dreaming in the first place. A lot of times if I dream that I'm being chased I'll start to run on all fours in an attempt to grab at the ground and propel myself forward faster until I ultimately launch myself into the air.
maybe your dmt experience doesn't relate to your astral projection experiences because you haven't been to the higher dimensions on your own... When you smoke dmt you automatically get taken to the higher dimensions with ease.. But to do that on your own would defs take a long time and a lot of practice. Im just saying this because i was watching a video on ryan cropper.. and he was talking about how smoking dmt wasnt as crazy as everyone cracked it up to be, only because he had entered those higher dimensions already on his own. So it was kinda like going into the same state when he smokes dmt... I honestly think that you just haven't had enough astral projection experience to make this kind of assumption. I really cant either... But from what ive heard from others experiences, when you get deeper into astral projection.. things get just as real.. just as intense as a dmt trip... Im just wondering why i should agree with your opinion rather than Ryans opinions. You both seem like youve had your own experiences, yet you both preach the opposite.. I think its likely that the DMT dimensions are reachable through bringing information back. I could never astral project until after my first dmt experience. And honestly, when i was about to astral project, it felt like the comeup of a dmt trip. My body was buzzing really fast and got louder and louder until my brain decided to explode. At least thats what it felt like. And then it feels like you get shot out of your body.. I find it to be the same thing but i am not yet able to access the higher dimensions because i am simply a noob at AP so far. Haha in my eyes what the fuck do you think monks are doing haha. They are probably so used to those higher dimensions that they would never even think to stop meditating haha. (This is just a different perspective, not fact)
i saw a couple of his recent videos and i think Adam is having a hard time beliving that what he sees in the trips are not real!.. i have been there with very little experience and it horrible. you dont trust the "truth" of a trip or not able to tell the difference. almost like the inception movie but not the fucked up part when you dont know if real life is real life haha..
so the BIG question!!!! WHAT PART OF THE TRIP IS THE TRUE EXPERIENCE OF DIMENTIONS AND WHAT IS CREATED BY YOUR MIND?.. (obviously the pink elephants are not real. but.. you know)
well anything thats in your expirience is real whether you like it or not. But whats created by your mind is based on your beliefs. If you believe a certain way, thats how you will think. thats what you will believe. If your watching a lot of horror movies.. youll probably be likely to think about scary situations. And thats why people get scared of shadow beings when the try to astral project, is because their mind is creating something based on thoughts you previously had.. But if you realize that, you can realize the fake thoughts, and the real information youre letting flow.. The real part of a trip should be obvious to the user. Its whatever you took from it. Your life is real no matter what youre thinking, so taking certain chemicals can help you sort these thoughts and bring more clarity to yourself. But if your focused on bad thoughts and you dont want to admit to yourself its real, then oyur gonna be stuck. You gotta let those thoughts flow before they can leave. The experience of dimensions just comes from different chemicals that can make you go deeper. One of them for example is dmt. It takes you straight to the higher dimensions with the higher beings. If you havent taken dmt theres really no way for me to make this clear to you though. Its usually clear for the user at the time of consumption. But a lot of the information can be lost in that 10-15 mins of tripping balls haha
but you can reach higher dimensions in the astrals. You just have to practice and not focus on using drugs to get you there.. You gotta make the spiritual journey to get there. I think its possible to get to the same levels as dmt naturally.. my opinion though
well i tryed salvia d. and its nothing like DMT (i never did it). and that was scary lol.. some entities always laugh at me cause i get in a panick state haha.. i belive we can acces this realms if we learn to be conscious in trance states..
Hey this channel finally started appearing in my recommended videos again! Glad to see the censorship seems to have stopped. Hopefully psychedsubstance content will come back too. Thanks for the good work!
I've never astrally projected but I've also had lucid dreams my whole life. The weirdest lucid dream I've had was one in which I decided to "take LSD" in the dream. It came on a lot quicker than it would in reality, but other than that it was exactly like tripping. Very disoriented when I woke up as it literally felt like I'd been on acid. Very strange...
Hey adam. It's been 3 years and you grew a lot during that time. I think you talking about lucid dreaming and maybe even sharing some cool dreams would make for a great video.
I appreciate this video. I've never done DMT but have been lucid dreaming for well over a decade and a coworker and I had a lengthy discussion about the two last night as we were working in the sleep lab. 99% of my lucid dreams start from sleep paralysis and when I am going into sleep paralysis I get that constant droning sound that you feel more than hear and it can ebb and flow threatening to cease if I move or even feel too much emotion. Once it has washed over me completely I stand up and force my eyes open only to see that my body is laying in bed still. I'll walk through my house and out the front door onto a street. The street isnt mine but it also is the same every time... and from there I can begin my dreams and sort of carry forward to live out a good time. All of that taken into consideration my coworker asked me if I had ever done DMT and stated that it sounded very similar to how a DMT trip could start. I don't see the trippy lines or anything but thinking that DMT is produced by the human body naturally I wonder if there is some connection there. Not a full on trip. But more as a median into lucidity. I wont argue that lucid dreams aren't the same thing as a full on DMT trip. How could I. But that can't rule out the idea that lucid dreams aren't a result of DMT being produced at a higher rate than normal in the body. I would love to do a PSG on someone as they ludic dream and then another on someone as they do DMT and just see what's going on different both in the EEG and to see how closely they come REM in either scenario. It's a question that shouldn't be super hard to at least try and answer :). Maybe if I acquire more schooling and more letters after my name one of these days.
I've been lucid dreaming as long as I can remember dreams as well, and I find it reeeeally interesting that you also have the reaction to fly when you become "awake" in the dream and aware of dream state. I saw one person post on reddit who said the same thing. Can you make more videos on dreaming and your experiences with subconscious? :)
Occult Sciences Uhh...no not really, since it's totally natural in my experience. It's only taboo in the sense that using it solely for personal gain at the expense of others or manipulating "fate" to bend to your specific desires will definitely reflect badly on you eventually in some way if not abstract from the original abuse or manipulation of the knowledge gained. What I've gathered in my life of having dreams/visions etc, some which have come true and others that have given deep insight into aspects of my own as well as other people's lives, is this; You will only be granted TRUE success within the realms of spiritual work if you are coming from a place of PURE intent. And I mean, holding your own ego/self above your lowly desires. Clairvoyance as I see it, is only regarded as taboo to those who would use universal knowledge in an attempt to see themselves in a better social/ecenomical/romantic etc position than they currently are, basically, using divine knowledge for superficial personal gain without the intention to use their understandings of the workings of the universe to better the existence of all persons/things around them. (all in my opinion and experience of course) - I hope that helps :)
Your lucid dreams are like mine. The minute I realize I'm dreaming I start to float. Same thing, for flying I need to keep doggy paddling to stay in the air and go higher.
I've been following this channel off and on for a while. This video is great for introducing the concept of AP to someone who is more open to LD. But AP is *greatly* different than a LD.
Yeah I've experienced the failure to float thing a few times and the first time it happened was in my first lucid dream. For some reason, my trigger was seeing my mailbox look bigger than I remember (so walking with my late grandfather did nothing to trigger lucidity, go figure). I turned to him and said "I'm dreaming!" which he responded to me saying that's impossible. I started trying to fly and got maybe 5 feet up before slowly drifting down; all the while my gradfather was saying how absurd my belief that I was currently dreaming was. In my mind, his objections were what was causing me to fall and I wasn't able to will him out of the dream. So I thought that if I can't fly or will things to happen, I'll just stop trying and go with whatever happens.
Adam! alot of the things you talked about in this video is exactly like the movie "Waking Life". if you havnt seen it then i really need you and anybody else reading this comment to seriously watch this movie! its by far the most trippy, eye opening philosophical movies ive ever seen. it almost puts me in a psychedelic state almost every time i watch it. One of my favorite spiritual movies.
I had started to think this recently. BUT, after I bought Monroe Institute's Gateway Voyage CDs, I realized I was wide freaking awake, after 3-4min in, but I was seeing myself and my son while awake. I actually FELT him hit me with a pillow and was seeing things from a point of view that would be physically impossible if my consciousness were in my body. Also, read Monroe's 1st book & notice that he did go to a room to get data. Also, this was not in his book, (classified by CIA then)but I saw a photo of him with other CIA remote viewers when watching a YT video where one psychic in particular gives a remote viewing lecture about that program!!He mentions Monroe by name. So, after spending 7 yrs of intense effort to AP, it's getting harder,not easier to get out, which I firmly believe has to do w the earth's magnetic field changing, wireless internet, chemtrails, etc. (the only time Monroe or others could never get out of body was in a Faraday cage. Also, remember that the God Helmet uses an electromagnetic field, as does the Shakti unit for sale. So now I'm trying to re-learn how to use a lucid dream to go into AP.
I don't know what the actual relationship between these phenomena is, but we have a lot of things in common SWIM. I'm talking about sleep paralysis, vivid dreams that sometimes feel like they are much more than dreams, and actual lucid dreaming (which is just awesome, I love flying). I've also always had a fascination with altered states of consciousness. I believe the term "astral" is unnecessary and voluntarily cryptic. The human mind is enough of a conundrum in and of itself. Anyways, thanks for your inspiring videos, Peace! PS, the reason I mention this is because there must really be something, some phenomena at work, and I'm sure we're not the only ones who experience this. And no. god or fate are not valid answers or reasons. ;) AND... I so get what you said about "floating" (which isn't flying, that's a lot harder), but for me rising in the air is unconsciously linked to taking in air, like maybe it's a genetic memory of being fishes using air sacks to "float up". Anyways, I've learned to fall 1000 feet and crash to earth without waking up, but fuck man, it's still scary (and I still visualize the pavement being destroyed in a very realistic manner)!
Great channel. I astral projected multiple times as 12 - 14 year old boy, then again for about a month every other morning during the 2002 football world cup. Like you I didn't even know how to discuss the topic or what it was called. Upon learning what had been happening, I found that it is more likely to happen during broken periods of sleep or as you nap, which made sense because as a boy I would be up at 7am then napping til 8am before getting ready for school, and in 2002, watching in the UK, the footy started at 6am, so I'd be snoozing / spliffing throughout 3 games. The first time it happened as a boy, it was the morning after my father - a 'no nonsense' man if ever there was one - terrified me by telling me he had seen a ghost. He would tell anyone they were talking shit if they had said as much before then, but you could tell he believed it at the very least. He was white as a sheet, all the hairs on his arms standing on end. Hadn't been intoxicated that night. Anyway, I digress... Something about that fear, when he left for work at 7am leaving me alone for the hour before school, triggered my first astral projection experience (unless it was completely random correlation). My experience of it was not what I have heard others in a brief round up of clips i just watched describe. Maybe this is where you annotate that thing about remote viewing being different. This is the first I have heard of remote viewing, and is another thing I may have experienced. But I have heard people describing how they astral projected and saw things that were really there etc..... whereas my - exceptionally vivid experiences - where like being on an entirely different plane of existence unconcerned with human affairs or earth. Imagine if you will a cube in which you dwell. Outside of it is an octagonal or dodecahedral structure surrounding it on all sides, with many more angles and chambers. You are pulled from the cube into the beyond. Now imagine the cube is our reality and the structure beyond has multiple dimensions. At the time you enter it, your subjective experience sheds the properties of your earthly body, and becomes a form at one with the novel physical laws now present. The closest i could describe it (which still isn't even close) is like being a cloud of energy that slowly accelerates first from within and then away from your body, and as you accelerate time slows backwards behind you (wtf lol) until you elevate to a kind of timeless zenith at which point you are now firmly experiencing dimensions and physics beyond this realm - or a remarkable human brain interpretation of such a thing; which were it all to be in our heads, is certainly something worthy of study. It is the most unlike reality thing I have ever experienced (though I have never done DMT), and is certainly more unlike any dream, lucid or otherwise (had loads of them too!) than reality is. Man i could say so much more, let me know if ever you are in Asia. I am firmly down the reality wormhole putting the jigsaw together and have had some mind bending revelations and philosophical breakthroughs. I'm in a reasonably lucrative position so another year of saving and thinking of taking a full year of philosophical, scientific and theological musing and writing. Gonna be staying tuned to your vids. Its lonely being a thinker on this level, so it is nice to hear these types of vids. Cheers!
As always, very interesting. I think it would had been great if at the start of the video you briefly explained what a lucid dream and an astral projection is. Anyway please please do Lucid Dream videos, and Lucid Dreams reports if you have any interesting! I've only had lucid dreams like 4 times in my life, hearing that someone do it naturally very often is mind blowing!! Keep up the great work ;)
I had a dream where i took mushrooms and once they hit i knew i was dreaming and as soon as i noticed i was in a dream it felt like the peak of a mushroom trip and then i shot into the air and came crashing down through the roof of a cabin in the woods. Everything felt as real as reality i even felt all the emotions and visuals and thought patterns that you would while tripping
I've also been able to lucid dream most of my life. Even when I was a little kid, I remember frequently having dreams where I come up to myself telling me over and over again "you're dreaming! Wake up!" And I have way too many flying dreams to count. Had one last night too actually. I do get the frsutrations of not being able to fly. Either falling slowly, my flight height limit keeps decreasing. Or I jump up and try climbing the air, but keep slipping. As for astral projection. One of my earliest memories is seeing my 2 year old self and the rest of my family in the living room from ceiling height. I still feel partially out of my body most days, but haven't done it to that extent since then. Honestly a little nervous about it. And one last bit that came to mind was some lucid dreams that feel as tho I'm entering others lives for a short period. 1 example. I was dreaming I was walking to a house with 2 friends. They were laughing and telling stories from the past. As this person I should have got the inside joke, but right at that moment I realised I was in a dream. So I told this persons friends that I wasn't really their friend at the moment. That I was from another dimension. They looked at me weird and were a bit confused. But once we got to the house, I was told to go lay down and chill. So I lay down on a table for some reason with a blanket. I feel content, but slightly awkward as people pass to see me laying on a table with a blanket smiling. XD Then I woke up. Also had dreams where I'm in my astral body floating around places. And people who can see me and think I'm a ghost run away from me terrified. I've learned to turn invisible, but it doesn't always work. I could keep going.. dreams and astral projection are big topics for me. Thanks for sharing your video and perspectives. Gives me more to consider and question.
I had astral projection accidently, so while I was dreaming I didn't imagine myself leaving my body i was just aware that that was happening, so then I started to control what I was doing.
I dreamt about you Adam, the other night. I was lucid dreaming and flying, as I learned to do systematically, as I'm lucid dreaming more and more. And I had that realization that this realm is between earth and some kind of other higher reality. At that moment you look at me as if I was a huge annoying knowing all and made me feel bad. I don't care, it's funny, I still love you, keep up the good work.
I agree with you. I did not know what lucid dreaming was until today. I started lucid dreaming a few years ago. Sometimes the views or environment in my dream are exactly the same as reality; such as the bedroom. It takes longer time for the brain to notice it is a dream because the views are same as reality. The difference between the two, I think, is the brain is more aware during the Astral projection state. The consciousness is stronger than the subconscious.
I just want to thank you for all your past videos and the rise in release frequency of newer ones. Good job dude. I had a bunch of certain experiences myself but didn't turn it into mass broadcast mission to change the world like you did... yet? Peace.
You are absolutely correct - there is no difference between an "astral state" or lucid dreaming or any other state of consciousness. There is more than ample evidence to conclude with quite a bit of certainty that the notion of astral projection or leaving one's body or otherwise entering a different physical realm is quite impossible. There is also ample evidence to demonstrate that the human mind can indeed create the convincing illusion of such experiences. If you'd like to discuss it in more detail, including relevant references I am more than happy to.
Thank you for being intelligent, logical and reasonable in your thoughts! It's refreshing to see, when we're sometimes flooded with ignorance, homeopathy and pseudo-science.
My first successful lucid dream was very profound. I found myself in a very LARGE but dark room. This room was my room as I was in bed, curled up in a ball. What also gave it away was that I saw light come from the direction of my bedroom door. My parents entered my room with both LOOONNNNG faces. Very similar to the painting where the person is screaming. They were laughing and congratulated me for joining them in a dream world. I began to rub my hands together to prevent myself from becoming too excited - as this could eject me from my dream. I was frightened by the image of my parents. I turned to my bedroom window, opened it up and fell out. I landed in my backyard. My yard has three trees. All in a zig zag type pattern. From tree to tree hung beautiful, multicolored chinese lanterns. As I followed these lanterns I noticed I was sort of light. Way too light. I recalled that I could try to fly in lucid dreams. (It is very hard to recall things in lucid dreams, you could say its similar to a light ego death.) I lifted from the ground and slammed painlessly into another house. Sadly the crash woke me up and I jerked out of sleep. I do believe both states are the same. I believe this because I started in my bed in the same position that I fell asleep in. I cannot say for sure this is true because I'm not extremely experienced. (only a handful of lucid dreams.)
I realized deja vu has a strong connection with lucid dreaming. i had a moment of deja vu that i also remember feeling in a dream that was vivid, it made me feel that dreaming is like planning the next events in your life, and each thought and action lead to it. the deja vu is just proving that you once saw it and its suppost to be the way it was. we are terrified of death but we fall asleep every night wondering the same questions
ADAM - holy fuck dude - I just watched your last video, and i commented jokingly (about swapping bodies)... but actually dude I AM UP FOR THAT we can worry about the way back later - lets skype sometime dude :) - you already have me on skype, if not then at least your email. From the guy do did the font you use - at the beginning of each video (ps i love the new intro you made... I totally get what you wanted now - I might have another present for you sometime down the line) :)
I've always assumed astral projection and lucid dreaming were the same thing, until one time I had a very vivid dream of my long distance girlfriend at the time. She was wearing an oxygen mask at the time, and I had no idea of what it looked like or how it was used, I just knew that she was on one. I actually assumed it went over her mouth but in my dream it only went over her nose, and had a very specific oval shaped guard around it with cut outs. In the dream I got my face too close to hers and knocked the mask off her face. Several days after the dream she sent me a picture in the mask and it was exactly as I saw it in the dream. This happened to me about 11 months ago so it's still pretty fresh in my mind, but I'm not sure what to make of it. Perhaps it confirms astral projection, or even telepathy, but I could just have an active imagination. Also I agree, in all my years of lucid dreaming I haven't encountered anything even close to dmt realms, that's a completely different ball game.
The closest I've ever gotten to astral projection was getting into the meditative state and feeling an intense vibration throughout my body which would jolt me awake every time. I've read that you have to get past those vibrations to astral project, my 1st ever lucid dream actually happened a couple months ago while I was in rehab and it only lasted like 5 minutes for me and I havent been able to do it again, dreaming is also very rare for me so when I do dream I get excited about it
I really love, how you deal with These spiritual Topics. You are open for everything, but not that naive to believe everything what seems to be something for the first Impression. Lucid dreaming/ to be Aware of your own dreams is also a strong psychdelic. I have not that much drug Impression, but would be interesting if some states on lsd, mdma, weed or amanita muscaria are similiar to dreaming.
I can relate to much in this video, I have lucid dreams very often on an average of 4 a week and some are very psychedelic and terrifying, others very poetic and adventures. But I only had a conscious OBE once. After a very high acoustic vibration I was out of body and aware. Then! I rushed outside as fast as possible ecstatic with what is happening. With something that felt like heightened scenes I anticipated the rain and felt the cold spots on my astral body. Then just a moment after the sensation I came back into my body, I fear my ecstatic nature failed me at that moment. But! I had to validate the rain phenomena and then I went outside to check... and to my amazement there proceeded a light and cold precipitation. This experience made a big difference from how I saw the nature of reality. That is why I think that OBE's are not JUST the imagination but lucid dreaming may be more in the imagination because the projections in lucid dreaming feels more unconscious than the enlightened-know state of the OBE experience.
I have lucid dreamed since i was about 10-11 and i can't believe you mentioned how you can just think float and you start floating which is what I do ! and on top of that you even mention how at times you wana float but its very hard to and you start to slowly fall and can't keep the float going. I can't believe there is someone else who has experienced this wow !
If you can enter the astral realm, meet up with somebody like a friend, exchange conversation and information, and come back with identical information as your friend, it has to be something in it's own.
Hey man, idk if you'll read this or not but I've been watching all your videos and you've just really sparked this intrest inside me, I've been watching tons more videos and researching and expierementing and you just opened me up to a whole new world, anyways I just wanted to say I was watching a few documentaries on ayuasca lately and the dying art of shamans, I just wanted to ask if you've ever thought of that, you'd be a great teacher and trip sitter plus you'd get to expierement and explore as a job, but obviously moving to the jungle and teaching this wpuld be a huge change in life style, also just wondered if you've ever done ayuasca? heard it's hard to get without going on a retreat but figured that was right up your alley, anyways dude take it easy and keep posting videos I check daily, your the best!
Wow what an odd synchronicity that just occurred lol. we both uploaded AP videos within 10 minutes of each-other. i totally understand the concept of this video.
i think the fact that these occurrences being by default fully subjective to each of us while obviously the largest factor, may be the reason it's hard to tell the two apart since you've been experiencing both for so long. which is impressive in its own right.
I only recently discovered them & therefore for me at least, being in an LD versus entering into an AP are vastly different experiences and always have been... Here's a thought I've been having recently though so I'd love to hear your thoughts on it man, how would you view this theory;
I find it potentially possible for them both to be part of the same realm. However, I would argue the notion of awareness itself (being the result of some plane of consciousness) as a factor that could in turn, place LD's in the astral realm, versus a psychological state. In theory LDs are just more-so experienced as a weaker, less controllable & immersive version of an AP. Just an idea I've been toying with. Let me know what you think haha
Love you man
You two should do a collab!
LD is AP limited by the belief that you're in a LD. You can create while projecting, this is the same as lucid dreaming only the belief is different while experiencing it.
I guess great minds think alike? :D
This is so cool! Synchronicity makes me so happy
Why don't you conduct a test. Write down something on paper or anything really, then make a video telling where to find this paper and have someone astral project to it and then comment.
You could even title it something like "astral projection challenge" in order to attract experienced projectors.
This is an amazingly cool idea!
+SWIM thanks man, love the videos keep it going
+SWIM you can give out ur home adress then ppl can stop by in the astral plane and we can have a big party.
+SWIM This test might not work. the astral realm is different to the physical realm so certain things might be different
“Of course it is happening inside your head, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?”

Whats the context behind the quote?
Albus Dumbledore is just an old crack pot old fool that teaches magic tricks!

Wow! Just realized this is from 7 years ago!
I've been lucid dreaming and astral projecting a lot, just like you. There is a stark difference between lucid dreaming and astral projecting, in fact a scary difference. I don't think it's appropriate to say that just because you can't explain how the jump from lucid dreaming to astral projection works, means that they are one in the same. They are not. Lucid dreaming is becoming aware of dreaming while in a dream. While in a dream you are seemingly plopped down into a random setting and experiencing the setting like just any other dream, except you are aware of it. When you astral project you fuckin float out of your body (have some AP experiences under my belt, along with a lot of friends) in a familiar place - where ever you fell asleep. I have even had experiences where I see people that are AWAKE and see them walking around, doing their mundane tasks, and have confirmed that THAT is what they were doing and where they were while I was projecting. The differences are scary. To me, lucid dreaming isn't at all as impressive as projecting. You just realizing you are dreaming - not crazy. While projecting, I have to vibrate through what seems like a wormhole of light, burst out of it with a deafening high pitch frequency playing, and I float out of my body into a world that is somewhat a copycat of this physical one. Lucid dreaming and Projecting may be related, but NOT the same thing, at all.
Not to mention how much more aware you are when projecting. There is a higher sense of clarity on what's going on, like if you were awake. While when dreaming things dip in and out of what makes sense, you don't always keep lucidity, etc.
How blessed are you to be able to experience these things, i hate you.
can you go to other planets when you AP?
Yes, I have been to the sun. lmao. You can go anywhere you want really as far as I've experienced and read in books. Whether or not they are factual representations of what planets look like, or if they are made up in our mind - who is to say. But yes you can. (:
thanks for your reply (: that sounds really cool. i would love to check out an alien planet lol. i've heard some people say that you can look at the past, is this true? how would we know if the past we are looking at is not just made up by our minds though? some interesting stuff lol.
in my experience there's definitely something different about OOBE's. The feeling of "separation" you get when your "consciousness is leaving your body" is unique, it's nothing like dreaming. At least for me, when I'm in that "mind awake/body asleep" state, my body feels weird and I'm fully aware that I'm laying in my bed. Then suddenly I feel my limbs levitating, like there's no gravity.
João Guilherme Castro I feel like no one ever remembers this lol. This is exactly i think they are different, not necessarily brother and sister, but cousins of some sort.
LoL... that's wake induced lucid dreaming
The Next Big Thing actually what happens to me the most is the “wake back to bed method. Sometimes I wake up early for no reason and can’t sleep, then I go back to sleep like an hour later and it’s like an 80% chance I’ll get sleep paralysis.
@@jotaguisc I've had lots of amazing hallucinations trying wake induced lucid dreaming at night just when I go to bed.... and the experience is same experience described for astral projection..but I really want to know if astral projection is real or it's something that just happens in your brain...I would like it to be real but I don't want to believe in something if it's not real
The Next Big Thing what science regards as “real” is just what they are able to perceive and mesure. I think the real question here is if OBE’s are just some sort of “brain bug dream”, or it is ACTUALLY our consciousness experiencing separation from our body, which can lead to several other questions.
I remember that when I was younger I would have dreams where I was floating around and I would do whatever I wanted and I just thought that was 100% normal and It was the best feeling.
so apparently only 20-30% of people are natural lucid dreamers, according to the stats I heard earlier
Who else os subscribed to Koi? These 2 are my favorites

slow motion for that. peace and harmony!
Stay Well, Stay Healthy
Peaceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
This video came out within seconds of Koi Frescos video about astral projection! Freaky!
same here ! haha ^^ and i did my first try of AP yesterday !!
i tried to astral project last night and then they both posted about it today, coincidence?
i actually had to tell my computer to chill..like, okay, i get it, i'll watch em, hold on!..haha
c o r r e l a t i o n b o y s
+By Skyler I was reading about AP and LD last night and now I get more information about it by one of my favorite RUclipsrs. It could possibly be synchronicity.
I agree with you 100 %. Astral Projection whould be soooo easy prove. If you can have a Lucid dream about anything, then ofcourse you could have a LD where you exit you body, see your body, and walk around in a place that you recognize from the real world.
Whenever I have a lucid dream, things are much more imaginative and colourful. When I project, things are dark and mundane and always start the same way with the same sequence of events.
Honestly, I feel astral projection and lucid dreaming are completely different, or at least from my experiences. I've also had episodes of sleep paralysis and "astral projection" since I was a kid, not having a word for it.. I've also been able to lucid dream since i was a kid.
For me lucid dreaming is a dream where I am lucid and have control of the dream, and thats it. Astral projecting is something completely different for me. During astral projection I can feel sensations that i've never experienced before, things that would seem impossible for me to make up with my mind alone. Entering sleep paralysis I normally experience the feeling of an violent wind accompanied by a whooshing sound (sometimes a buzzing) and an intense electrical sensation throughout my body as if I'm being shocked but not in a painful way. It almost feels like some weird energy entering my body starting from my head down. I really don't know how to explain it. As a kid not really having the words for it it felt like i was being "possessed" and the experiences were so crazy and scary after "leaving my body" it left me not able to sleep for literally days when it first starting happening.I slept with my light on for a few years,every night, not that I was a kid that was scared of much quite the opposite actually and It could still sometimes be somewhat frightening, sometimes amazing, always unpredictable and different. I'm now able to induce it, from time to time. It's definitely had a big impact on me.
Funny, I often describe the experiences as being "realer than real". I've not yet had the opportunity to try DMT so I cant compare my experience to a DMT trip, hopefully one day, if I ever get the chance. Reading through others experiences with DMT my experiences with "astral projecting" seem quite similar in some ways, which probably sounds crazy to you.
Searching on the internet I haven't really come across experiences of other people having sleep paralysis and "astral projections" with the same intensity and detail and weirdness in the way I've experienced. I'd like to go into detail about my experiences more, but with this wall of text people probably haven't made it this far into my ramblings, also its hard to even put it into words. I don't even know.. maybe what I experience isn't even astral projection at all. I don't know what else to call it though, any thoughts?
Describe ur “weird” experiences. I am a skeptic who came to this video because i dont think astral projection is real, i believe its just lucid dreaming. Wud b interesting to hear ur experiences so i can compare them to dreaming
You deserve the patron money just for putting the outro song in the description. Thanks for the discussion man.
I've been astral projecting for 14 years and I've had lucid dreams here and there throughout my entire life. If anyone wants any advice on how to achieve either of these states, feel free to ask. I know that astral projection and lucid dreaming feel very different from one another, but I definitely feel that there can be a connection as I've experienced this cross-over that he mentions in the first part of the video. Often times, I'll start out in an OBE then it will gradually drift into a dream-state. The main difference is level of awareness. In a lucid dream, dream logic definitely applies and even though I'm aware that I'm dreaming there's still a fuzziness and malleability about the experience. In astral projection, normal logic applies and it feels 99% as real as waking reality. The experience is also much less malleable. Again, let me know if you have questions! :D
you should do a video about it, and your techniques
How many times a week do you AP or LD on average? And do you practice everyday... like RC's ?
+Adino Tugwell 2 times per month and only ld sometimes i don't remember the dream i guess i am impersistent
Sebastian Holder I have a few on my channel. I have one titled "How to Induce Sleep Paralysis" which is the first step. Basically the idea is to wake yourself up during REM sleep and stay very still. The other video I recommend is "How to Have an OBE" which covers the second step of the process where you actually disconnect from the body. So, you can check those out if you like. But if you have any specific questions, feel free to ask those too. :D
Adino Tugwell With regard to SP and OBE it has varied over the years. When I was about 16 and 17, I'd have sleep paralysis several times a week and maybe one of those would result in an OBE. During my "dry spells" I've gone as much as three month in between episodes of sleep paralysis. Most of the time, if I'm not actively trying to get sleep paralysis, I get it about once every two weeks with every other time resulting in an OBE. Currently, my last bout with sleep paralysis was a couple weeks ago, but OBE is a bit more difficult for me to reach now because I'm co-sleeping with my toddler son which tends to keep me in a lighter stage of sleep and interfere with leaving the body. Lucid dreaming, I had cultivated a practice of back when I was 15, and I would get them several times a week back then when I was actively trying. But now it only happens every now and then. I just got one a few weeks ago though, but it didn't pan out to much because I forgot I was dreaming after a few minutes of having realized. That's the worst. XD But I currently don't actively practice daily to get it now, but I welcome it as it comes.
you and koi fresco should collab one day. that would be soo dope! btw love your vids Adam!
why dont you and your girlfriend do an experiment? get her to write down a 4 number combination and leave it on a table or bench somewhere each night, then you try to astral project each night to see what it is, either you'll be able to read the note, or it wont be there
or is astral projection not this simple? (i understand it would take days, weeks even of trying)
he mentioned a while back that his girlfriends parents disapprove and dont want her in the videos
She doesn't have to be in a video to place a piece of paper in another room and have Adam not know what's written on it.
try putting a playing card on a mirror in someones bedroom and go look to see if you can identify it.
@@number1fandb this wouldn't work, as if you we're actually just dreaming you could, again, just project the card into it's spot with mental power. Someone else would have to know the card or number without you knowing in order for this to work. The point is to see if we are experiencing this "concrete" 3D physical reality from a legitimate nonphysycal spiritual (possibly 4D and higher) realm that's "parallel" to or overlapping the lower physical.
lmao that’s not how it works fam
This guy gives out alot of Good Vibes, much love brother
I have had those exact dream/projection state of mind experiences myself since I was 8 years old and now i'm 53. The flying part where you are going up and start coming down not being able to maintain levitation, I've had alot of those, then there are times when I am showing off to my friends as if i was dreaming about being able to levitate by accessing the yawning feeling in my head to enable me to go up in the air. As for the remote viewing my auntie used to tell me that to get to that degree of state of mind requires practice like an exercise. there are different states of mind regarding sleep time, dreaming state time, and real dreaming time and real time projection. I'm not knowledgeable on which one I am involved in at the time except i know its not the real time dreaming state which I believe takes alot of effort in exercise practice to obtain, like studying for an exam by practicing going into the astral projection state of mind and exercising on opening your eyes in real time while in astral mode and being consciously aware of time at that moment, whereas sleep dreaming you have no conscious awareness of time, are you kinda following me? Sorry I just needed to share what I've been thru cause all my friends or acquaintances haven't a clue to what I'm trying to explain to them or relate to it like I got from your video. I'd like to hear from you or just comment back here so I can read your thoughts on my experiences. Thanks, Dale.
My entire life has changed in the last year. Thank you for the content and helping me become a better, more open-minded person!
I have also done astral projection and lucid dreaming.
The fact that you cross over from one state to the other maybe means you return to your body and start a lucid dream, or that you travel from the astral plane to the plane where your thoughts become manifest.
And those stories that you told of when you were tripping on dmt or something and you said to the entities that you met during that time "this time I'll remember etc" but you doubt it afterwards. What seems to me from all of this is that you ought to trust yourself more, something this society has been conditioning us not to do.
Mainstream society and science have a problem accepting these things because of a stuff like:
having an inherent prejudice about studies on this matters. If a study on astral projection comes out where there the subject gets right a number with several digits without moving and all wired up with brain resonances, they call it its fringe science, pseudoscience, he got it by luck, they were faking it, etc. Its comic and sad at the same time. There is at least one on youtube, "Scientific proof Astral Projection...".
Another consequence of this prejudice is that it prevents more study and research on this matter.
Another reason is that they look at the evidence separately, not seeing the big picture that it all paints together, not just about OBE, it's synchronicity, psychic phenomena, rainbow light bodies, aliens, cryptids, paranormal activity, remote viewing, opening the 3rd eye, past life regression, reports of blind people seeing on near death experiences, psychadelic experiences, native legends and it goes on and on.
All of it has tons of evidence, they can't all be fake. And also the fact that some people don't want this to be known, it's really as the lyrics of the song Uprising go.
Finally !!!!! I was waiting for you to talk about this stuff Atom!, sorry,, Adam!! :)
Sleep paralysis is hardcore. The most intense bad “trip” of reality it seems at the time. Trying to scream, but can’t, tall dark figures picking me up out of bed and dropping me down a well, free fall feeling to eternity. Repeated dream loops, over and over again. I read that certain low frequency sounds can cause sleep paralysis.
Your argument about your 100+ DMT trips and having Astral Projection experiences before even knowing the word reminded me of your "Psychedelic Ego" video ;D
I think the reason people don't want to believe astral projection could just be lucid dreaming is because they want to believe there's more to this world than they once believed there is.
Isaac May we all want to believe in something bigger
L No, I don't, because if something bigger exists, reallity will have no sense.
It sound like it's an ego thing, people who want to believe in astral projection, want to isolate themselves from the universe as it is. It's just one big maya.
I think people don’t want to believe in astral projection either because they haven’t accessed the ability or don’t want to believe there’s more after this life. Either way, those of us that know what we experience can tell there’s a huge difference in astral and any type of dreaming including lucid.
I think it's the other way around it's usually the people who haven't experienced the two who are in disbelief
AYYYYY YOU AND KOI UPLOADED AT THE SAME TIME ABOUT ASTRAL PROJECTION WOWOWOWOW
Only guy i've found on youtube who had a lucid dreaming/astral projection experience and is not just straight up saying that "Yeah i left my body and it was life changing" but rather questioning whether astral travel even is real. Kudos to you for not fooling yourself and your audience into believing in this stupid phenomenon. Because as you said, there surely would have been quite solid proof of astral travel if as many people experienced it as I see on youtube comment sections and other places
My friend, i hope you don't get offended if i say this, but instead of just blindly dismissing it as a "stupid phenomenon", on purely theoretical and subjective grounds, why don't you try to leave your body and verify it yourself?
There are a few major differences between astral projection and dreams that he did not address:
Blind people who go through OBEs are able to see, even if they were born blind ( a good example would be the 21 cases in Dr.Kenneth Ring's NDE study)
Astral projectors are able to accurately report events in real time, even if such things are happening miles away( the late parapsychologist Scott Rogo was in a conference trip when he decided to visit his roommate back home by astral projecting. He discovered his roommate invited a stranger, which he confirmed when he came back from the trip weeks later. Knowing skeptics are not very trusting of anecdotes, he provided 8 different methods).
There are several different techniques to astral project, like Mr.Rogo's Leaving the Body or Robert Monroe's books. Or you can search a tutorial. But just sitting back and asking for "proof" isn't going to do much. Can you take a piece of ectoplasm and put it on a silver platter? You can do the friend test, for example. Even this RUclipsr agreed that it is a wonderful idea.

@@joojlaal485 why haven't you tested it yet?
Watching you makes me comfortable. In my opinion you are one of the most warmheart attitude man on youtube :))
well idk, i had many lucid dreams in the past, but never had an "astral projection" until one day i came back tired as usual and went to sleep, then i "woke up" because of freaking vibrational sounds in my ears that was soooo fckling loud i thought that my head explode or smth. then it got quiet and i started seeing my room, i thought i woke up so i tried to sit, and i noticed that something is strange i felt heavy, and light sources from the street light my room way brighter than normal, then i noticed that i dont breath and then i realised that its not my physical body and i instantly thought that i died and that im a ghost now, i was freaked out and in a blink of an eye i felt some magnetic force pulling me back to the body. then i woke up for real in my paralyzed body, thinking about what the fuck just happened ( at the time i had no knowledge of astral projection). When i regained full body controll i calmed down and went to do some internet research... :D THAT SHIT WAS NOTHING LIKE LUCID DREAM. but ye idk, maybe the mind just randomly created this experience for no reason, it randomly occured few more times, but i was afraid of it so everytime i heard vibrations and shifting sound frequencies in my ears i would start thinking about waking up and stopping it. Now when i want to try and do by following some guide, it doesnt work... =/ But idk to me its big difference, but i guess i experienced just a glimpse, but still then, why would it feel so different and so new/scary even if i had many lucid dreams. In lucid dreams i just feel like safe af because i know everything is in my mind. but that shit was smth different, i was aware of stuff, but idk it didnt felt like im inside my mind/consciousness. that is the difference for me i guess...
Could it be NDE (near death experience)?
Absolutely love this channel. You come across as very sincere and I deeply appreciate how hard you try to remain practical with these very strange experiences.
Astral Projection is NOT lucid dreaming, when you astral project you feel a falling at light speed sensation and u will hear a buzzing or ringing in ur head the same on psilocybe or n-nDMT
Amazing video! Can't wait for the next episode!
jaja koi fresco also upload a video about astral projection
Koi Fresco is a pretentious prick with a messiah complex.
koi even commented on this
We don't give a f*ck about your opinion on this guy, he is very kind, share a lot of information with us and help bring back conciousness to this planet, i don't see how you can have a problem with him if you follow this channel.
right
Shaun Entertainment Ok, 'Shaun Entertainment'. I'm actually at fault, it's just his extreme pseudo-intellectual persona triggers my elitism.
i experienced lucid dreaming/astral traveling once, where i was flying around in the surreal afterlife, which is very pure and untainted, and i chatted with my late father, who looked very young around 20s or 30s, as well as his friend, a 15-year-old golden retriever named Hangar. it was a positive experience for me, but different, like a different world.
if astral projection was real the military would definitely use it
Julian Goncalves who's to say they don't? From what I've gathered, areas such as Area 51 and other bases are protected by other entities and there's usually astral traps near them.
Astronomy guy What brought you to that conclusion? I'm pretty sure if I was "retarded" I would hardly be able to reply to a comment on RUclips with a thought provoking question. The government has been using astral projection/Remote viewing (and other psychic things) in their operations as proven by the declassified releases by the C.I.A. Anyways, the government doesn't tell the people everything that's going on in the world. I don't understand how me saying "Who's to say they aren't?" automatically conveys the idea that I'm "retarded".
Can you link me where you know all of this?
Izzy G Ok I actually re-read what I wrote and I would be lying if I said it didn't sound crazy 💀. But come on, he called me retarted that's so uncalled for.
Edit: plus it's not like I lied necessary, it's literally all in the CIAs released files. It does sound outlandish though.
jalenroc rich care to explain what an "astral trap" is
I been astro projecting and lucid dreaming since age four and I’m now 26 & everything your saying is accurate cuz I thought I was the only person that believed that astro projecting & lucid dreaming are the same. Thanks for making it make sense.
plot twist: lucid dreaming is actually astraltravelling
Nina Petit not true ap you can see you’re actual body
Its not the same
stratia v spoken from a person who’s never lucid dreamed or astral projected
Brian James and experienced lucid dreamed can look at his body
Yeah
Just want to say having watched nearly all of your videos that you are a legend and you would probably one of six people dead or alive I would choose to have a sesh with. Keep up the awesome videos!
I was expecting to see Koi here. XD
Excited for the tutorial video!!
Why would you do this. Why would you capitalize every word except the one word you're supposed to capitalize.
What can you do. Maybe it's an experiment of his, maybe he's bored?
Lmaooo
For myself it's reminiscent of the way books or articles are titled
statistically it actually gets you more views, capitalizing the start of every word
Why not?
Lucid dreaming is difficult, well, at least for me. However, when it happens, it's an amazing experience. One lucid dream of mine was just of myself talking to two other versions of myself. I was experiencing the conversation from three different perspectives simultaneously and was aware of it.
ive had so many lucid dreams it feels like theres another place, and sometimes i end up in the same places. Outer space always looks like a cartoon to me and i cant change that. since ive had so many lucid dreams I feel theres also a correlation with dreams. some places in dreams are the same as in lucid dreams. I dont know what it all means though
do you have the picture of the girl?
Wow look at that, Adam talking about lucid dreaming and astral projection, something I was really curious about! Keep it up, man
The astral realm is the 5th dimension, DMT is the 6th
The astral realm is the 4th dimension dmt is the 5th, your one behind my friend lol
Krazy Mittenz we're in the 3rd and 4th. 3rd is where we are, 4th is linear time
+iMatia710. Yes physically we are though quantum speaking time has its own frequency
Krazy Mittenz I highly recommend listening to JRE #127, its a fascinating podcast, thats where I learned about the various dimensions, Im sure you would find it interesting
+iMatia710 ok thanks for the info ill check it out have a nice night
So glad you made a video about this, it's incredibly interesting and I'd love to hear more of your thoughts on it!
Should I watch koi first or phyched first!? Life is so hard!! ;)
I've had similar experiences as a kid very frequently (not so much anymore), but when I realized that I was dreaming I always began to try to float, like "oh yeah this is possible here!". It was always very challenging to keep flying it was only a temporary gentle gliding but I would begin to descend shortly after jumping. Gave me chills to hear you explain something that I've experienced and thought to be unique to myself.
this is exactly how I fly in my dreams. its more like being in zero gravity than flying. Sometimes this happening is what makes me realize I'm dreaming and begin lucid dreaming in the first place. A lot of times if I dream that I'm being chased I'll start to run on all fours in an attempt to grab at the ground and propel myself forward faster until I ultimately launch myself into the air.
You should look into Ryan Croppers videos, he has done DMT and a LOT of astral projections. I find his videos highly interesting!
yes I agree!
agreed! and do a video with him?
he is the real g in the astrals
ryan cooper is fake and an ego maniac
By far one of your best videos, thanks for making this.
maybe your dmt experience doesn't relate to your astral projection experiences because you haven't been to the higher dimensions on your own... When you smoke dmt you automatically get taken to the higher dimensions with ease.. But to do that on your own would defs take a long time and a lot of practice. Im just saying this because i was watching a video on ryan cropper.. and he was talking about how smoking dmt wasnt as crazy as everyone cracked it up to be, only because he had entered those higher dimensions already on his own. So it was kinda like going into the same state when he smokes dmt... I honestly think that you just haven't had enough astral projection experience to make this kind of assumption. I really cant either... But from what ive heard from others experiences, when you get deeper into astral projection.. things get just as real.. just as intense as a dmt trip... Im just wondering why i should agree with your opinion rather than Ryans opinions. You both seem like youve had your own experiences, yet you both preach the opposite.. I think its likely that the DMT dimensions are reachable through bringing information back. I could never astral project until after my first dmt experience. And honestly, when i was about to astral project, it felt like the comeup of a dmt trip. My body was buzzing really fast and got louder and louder until my brain decided to explode. At least thats what it felt like. And then it feels like you get shot out of your body.. I find it to be the same thing but i am not yet able to access the higher dimensions because i am simply a noob at AP so far. Haha in my eyes what the fuck do you think monks are doing haha. They are probably so used to those higher dimensions that they would never even think to stop meditating haha. (This is just a different perspective, not fact)
i saw a couple of his recent videos and i think Adam is having a hard time beliving that what he sees in the trips are not real!.. i have been there with very little experience and it horrible. you dont trust the "truth" of a trip or not able to tell the difference. almost like the inception movie but not the fucked up part when you dont know if real life is real life haha..
so the BIG question!!!! WHAT PART OF THE TRIP IS THE TRUE EXPERIENCE OF DIMENTIONS AND WHAT IS CREATED BY YOUR MIND?.. (obviously the pink elephants are not real. but.. you know)
well anything thats in your expirience is real whether you like it or not. But whats created by your mind is based on your beliefs. If you believe a certain way, thats how you will think. thats what you will believe. If your watching a lot of horror movies.. youll probably be likely to think about scary situations. And thats why people get scared of shadow beings when the try to astral project, is because their mind is creating something based on thoughts you previously had.. But if you realize that, you can realize the fake thoughts, and the real information youre letting flow.. The real part of a trip should be obvious to the user. Its whatever you took from it. Your life is real no matter what youre thinking, so taking certain chemicals can help you sort these thoughts and bring more clarity to yourself. But if your focused on bad thoughts and you dont want to admit to yourself its real, then oyur gonna be stuck. You gotta let those thoughts flow before they can leave. The experience of dimensions just comes from different chemicals that can make you go deeper. One of them for example is dmt. It takes you straight to the higher dimensions with the higher beings. If you havent taken dmt theres really no way for me to make this clear to you though. Its usually clear for the user at the time of consumption. But a lot of the information can be lost in that 10-15 mins of tripping balls haha
but you can reach higher dimensions in the astrals. You just have to practice and not focus on using drugs to get you there.. You gotta make the spiritual journey to get there. I think its possible to get to the same levels as dmt naturally.. my opinion though
well i tryed salvia d. and its nothing like DMT (i never did it). and that was scary lol.. some entities always laugh at me cause i get in a panick state haha.. i belive we can acces this realms if we learn to be conscious in trance states..
Thanks Adam to keep us with our feet on the ground!
You're pretty rational and I think that's something really needed in the psychedelic community.
Not the same thing.
Hey this channel finally started appearing in my recommended videos again! Glad to see the censorship seems to have stopped. Hopefully psychedsubstance content will come back too. Thanks for the good work!
40 grams of shrooms is stronger than DMT.
I just watched a 5 minute ad for ya :p Keep doing your thing man. Love the channel.
Oh and I want that beanie! haha
I've never astrally projected but I've also had lucid dreams my whole life. The weirdest lucid dream I've had was one in which I decided to "take LSD" in the dream. It came on a lot quicker than it would in reality, but other than that it was exactly like tripping. Very disoriented when I woke up as it literally felt like I'd been on acid. Very strange...
I haven't passed the lucid dream state yet, but you said enough in the first couple of minutes that I'm sure I can get there now. Ty for this.
Hey adam. It's been 3 years and you grew a lot during that time. I think you talking about lucid dreaming and maybe even sharing some cool dreams would make for a great video.
I appreciate this video. I've never done DMT but have been lucid dreaming for well over a decade and a coworker and I had a lengthy discussion about the two last night as we were working in the sleep lab. 99% of my lucid dreams start from sleep paralysis and when I am going into sleep paralysis I get that constant droning sound that you feel more than hear and it can ebb and flow threatening to cease if I move or even feel too much emotion. Once it has washed over me completely I stand up and force my eyes open only to see that my body is laying in bed still. I'll walk through my house and out the front door onto a street. The street isnt mine but it also is the same every time... and from there I can begin my dreams and sort of carry forward to live out a good time.
All of that taken into consideration my coworker asked me if I had ever done DMT and stated that it sounded very similar to how a DMT trip could start. I don't see the trippy lines or anything but thinking that DMT is produced by the human body naturally I wonder if there is some connection there. Not a full on trip. But more as a median into lucidity. I wont argue that lucid dreams aren't the same thing as a full on DMT trip. How could I. But that can't rule out the idea that lucid dreams aren't a result of DMT being produced at a higher rate than normal in the body.
I would love to do a PSG on someone as they ludic dream and then another on someone as they do DMT and just see what's going on different both in the EEG and to see how closely they come REM in either scenario. It's a question that shouldn't be super hard to at least try and answer :). Maybe if I acquire more schooling and more letters after my name one of these days.
You're a good guy, pal. Will comment further just to let you know I appreciate you. :) Greetings from Bulgaria !
I've been lucid dreaming as long as I can remember dreams as well, and I find it reeeeally interesting that you also have the reaction to fly when you become "awake" in the dream and aware of dream state. I saw one person post on reddit who said the same thing. Can you make more videos on dreaming and your experiences with subconscious? :)
Sure! I plan to. But only if you make more videos of you singing. You have a nice voice :)
Okay that's fair motivation, thank you :)!!
Occult Sciences Uhh...no not really, since it's totally natural in my experience. It's only taboo in the sense that using it solely for personal gain at the expense of others or manipulating "fate" to bend to your specific desires will definitely reflect badly on you eventually in some way if not abstract from the original abuse or manipulation of the knowledge gained. What I've gathered in my life of having dreams/visions etc, some which have come true and others that have given deep insight into aspects of my own as well as other people's lives, is this; You will only be granted TRUE success within the realms of spiritual work if you are coming from a place of PURE intent. And I mean, holding your own ego/self above your lowly desires. Clairvoyance as I see it, is only regarded as taboo to those who would use universal knowledge in an attempt to see themselves in a better social/ecenomical/romantic etc position than they currently are, basically, using divine knowledge for superficial personal gain without the intention to use their understandings of the workings of the universe to better the existence of all persons/things around them. (all in my opinion and experience of course) - I hope that helps :)
Your lucid dreams are like mine. The minute I realize I'm dreaming I start to float. Same thing, for flying I need to keep doggy paddling to stay in the air and go higher.
Aviana Fernandez sameeeee
I've been following this channel off and on for a while.
This video is great for introducing the concept of AP to someone who is more open to LD.
But AP is *greatly* different than a LD.
Yeah I've experienced the failure to float thing a few times and the first time it happened was in my first lucid dream. For some reason, my trigger was seeing my mailbox look bigger than I remember (so walking with my late grandfather did nothing to trigger lucidity, go figure). I turned to him and said "I'm dreaming!" which he responded to me saying that's impossible. I started trying to fly and got maybe 5 feet up before slowly drifting down; all the while my gradfather was saying how absurd my belief that I was currently dreaming was. In my mind, his objections were what was causing me to fall and I wasn't able to will him out of the dream. So I thought that if I can't fly or will things to happen, I'll just stop trying and go with whatever happens.
Adam! alot of the things you talked about in this video is exactly like the movie "Waking Life". if you havnt seen it then i really need you and anybody else reading this comment to seriously watch this movie! its by far the most trippy, eye opening philosophical movies ive ever seen. it almost puts me in a psychedelic state almost every time i watch it. One of my favorite spiritual movies.
Thanks for another great video.
Keep up the good work.. Thanks for sharing your experiences . I like your honesty.
Love both of your channels bro. I think they're the same honestly. I think the brain imagines it.
I had started to think this recently. BUT, after I bought Monroe Institute's Gateway Voyage CDs, I realized I was wide freaking awake, after 3-4min in, but I was seeing myself and my son while awake. I actually FELT him hit me with a pillow and was seeing things from a point of view that would be physically impossible if my consciousness were in my body. Also, read Monroe's 1st book & notice that he did go to a room to get data. Also, this was not in his book, (classified by CIA then)but I saw a photo of him with other CIA remote viewers when watching a YT video where one psychic in particular gives a remote viewing lecture about that program!!He mentions Monroe by name. So, after spending 7 yrs of intense effort to AP, it's getting harder,not easier to get out, which I firmly believe has to do w the earth's magnetic field changing, wireless internet, chemtrails, etc. (the only time Monroe or others could never get out of body was in a Faraday cage. Also, remember that the God Helmet uses an electromagnetic field, as does the Shakti unit for sale. So now I'm trying to re-learn how to use a lucid dream to go into AP.
Looking forward to your astral/lucid dreaming video! I have been trying for a while.... with no luck :/
I don't know what the actual relationship between these phenomena is, but we have a lot of things in common SWIM. I'm talking about sleep paralysis, vivid dreams that sometimes feel like they are much more than dreams, and actual lucid dreaming (which is just awesome, I love flying). I've also always had a fascination with altered states of consciousness. I believe the term "astral" is unnecessary and voluntarily cryptic. The human mind is enough of a conundrum in and of itself. Anyways, thanks for your inspiring videos, Peace!
PS, the reason I mention this is because there must really be something, some phenomena at work, and I'm sure we're not the only ones who experience this. And no. god or fate are not valid answers or reasons. ;)
AND... I so get what you said about "floating" (which isn't flying, that's a lot harder), but for me rising in the air is unconsciously linked to taking in air, like maybe it's a genetic memory of being fishes using air sacks to "float up". Anyways, I've learned to fall 1000 feet and crash to earth without waking up, but fuck man, it's still scary (and I still visualize the pavement being destroyed in a very realistic manner)!
I've thought they were the same for so long.. glad to hear your opinion about it
Great channel. I astral projected multiple times as 12 - 14 year old boy, then again for about a month every other morning during the 2002 football world cup. Like you I didn't even know how to discuss the topic or what it was called. Upon learning what had been happening, I found that it is more likely to happen during broken periods of sleep or as you nap, which made sense because as a boy I would be up at 7am then napping til 8am before getting ready for school, and in 2002, watching in the UK, the footy started at 6am, so I'd be snoozing / spliffing throughout 3 games. The first time it happened as a boy, it was the morning after my father - a 'no nonsense' man if ever there was one - terrified me by telling me he had seen a ghost. He would tell anyone they were talking shit if they had said as much before then, but you could tell he believed it at the very least. He was white as a sheet, all the hairs on his arms standing on end. Hadn't been intoxicated that night. Anyway, I digress... Something about that fear, when he left for work at 7am leaving me alone for the hour before school, triggered my first astral projection experience (unless it was completely random correlation).
My experience of it was not what I have heard others in a brief round up of clips i just watched describe. Maybe this is where you annotate that thing about remote viewing being different. This is the first I have heard of remote viewing, and is another thing I may have experienced. But I have heard people describing how they astral projected and saw things that were really there etc..... whereas my - exceptionally vivid experiences - where like being on an entirely different plane of existence unconcerned with human affairs or earth. Imagine if you will a cube in which you dwell. Outside of it is an octagonal or dodecahedral structure surrounding it on all sides, with many more angles and chambers. You are pulled from the cube into the beyond. Now imagine the cube is our reality and the structure beyond has multiple dimensions. At the time you enter it, your subjective experience sheds the properties of your earthly body, and becomes a form at one with the novel physical laws now present. The closest i could describe it (which still isn't even close) is like being a cloud of energy that slowly accelerates first from within and then away from your body, and as you accelerate time slows backwards behind you (wtf lol) until you elevate to a kind of timeless zenith at which point you are now firmly experiencing dimensions and physics beyond this realm - or a remarkable human brain interpretation of such a thing; which were it all to be in our heads, is certainly something worthy of study. It is the most unlike reality thing I have ever experienced (though I have never done DMT), and is certainly more unlike any dream, lucid or otherwise (had loads of them too!) than reality is.
Man i could say so much more, let me know if ever you are in Asia. I am firmly down the reality wormhole putting the jigsaw together and have had some mind bending revelations and philosophical breakthroughs. I'm in a reasonably lucrative position so another year of saving and thinking of taking a full year of philosophical, scientific and theological musing and writing. Gonna be staying tuned to your vids. Its lonely being a thinker on this level, so it is nice to hear these types of vids. Cheers!
As always, very interesting. I think it would had been great if at the start of the video you briefly explained what a lucid dream and an astral projection is.
Anyway please please do Lucid Dream videos, and Lucid Dreams reports if you have any interesting!
I've only had lucid dreams like 4 times in my life, hearing that someone do it naturally very often is mind blowing!!
Keep up the great work ;)
I had a dream where i took mushrooms and once they hit i knew i was dreaming and as soon as i noticed i was in a dream it felt like the peak of a mushroom trip and then i shot into the air and came crashing down through the roof of a cabin in the woods. Everything felt as real as reality i even felt all the emotions and visuals and thought patterns that you would while tripping
I've also been able to lucid dream most of my life. Even when I was a little kid, I remember frequently having dreams where I come up to myself telling me over and over again "you're dreaming! Wake up!" And I have way too many flying dreams to count. Had one last night too actually. I do get the frsutrations of not being able to fly. Either falling slowly, my flight height limit keeps decreasing. Or I jump up and try climbing the air, but keep slipping.
As for astral projection. One of my earliest memories is seeing my 2 year old self and the rest of my family in the living room from ceiling height. I still feel partially out of my body most days, but haven't done it to that extent since then. Honestly a little nervous about it.
And one last bit that came to mind was some lucid dreams that feel as tho I'm entering others lives for a short period. 1 example. I was dreaming I was walking to a house with 2 friends. They were laughing and telling stories from the past. As this person I should have got the inside joke, but right at that moment I realised I was in a dream. So I told this persons friends that I wasn't really their friend at the moment. That I was from another dimension. They looked at me weird and were a bit confused. But once we got to the house, I was told to go lay down and chill. So I lay down on a table for some reason with a blanket. I feel content, but slightly awkward as people pass to see me laying on a table with a blanket smiling. XD Then I woke up. Also had dreams where I'm in my astral body floating around places. And people who can see me and think I'm a ghost run away from me terrified. I've learned to turn invisible, but it doesn't always work. I could keep going.. dreams and astral projection are big topics for me.
Thanks for sharing your video and perspectives. Gives me more to consider and question.
Hmm interesting, nice video as always
Dude i really love this channel keep it up very interesting
I had astral projection accidently, so while I was dreaming I didn't imagine myself leaving my body i was just aware that that was happening, so then I started to control what I was doing.
I dreamt about you Adam, the other night. I was lucid dreaming and flying, as I learned to do systematically, as I'm lucid dreaming more and more. And I had that realization that this realm is between earth and some kind of other higher reality. At that moment you look at me as if I was a huge annoying knowing all and made me feel bad. I don't care, it's funny, I still love you, keep up the good work.
I agree with you. I did not know what lucid dreaming was until today. I started lucid dreaming a few years ago. Sometimes the views or environment in my dream are exactly the same as reality; such as the bedroom. It takes longer time for the brain to notice it is a dream because the views are same as reality. The difference between the two, I think, is the brain is more aware during the Astral projection state. The consciousness is stronger than the subconscious.
im definitely gonna try that rope climb thing the next time im gonna experience sleep paralysis. great video
I just want to thank you for all your past videos and the rise in release frequency of newer ones. Good job dude. I had a bunch of certain experiences myself but didn't turn it into mass broadcast mission to change the world like you did... yet?
Peace.
You are absolutely correct - there is no difference between an "astral state" or lucid dreaming or any other state of consciousness. There is more than ample evidence to conclude with quite a bit of certainty that the notion of astral projection or leaving one's body or otherwise entering a different physical realm is quite impossible. There is also ample evidence to demonstrate that the human mind can indeed create the convincing illusion of such experiences. If you'd like to discuss it in more detail, including relevant references I am more than happy to.
Thank you for being intelligent, logical and reasonable in your thoughts! It's refreshing to see, when we're sometimes flooded with ignorance, homeopathy and pseudo-science.
My first successful lucid dream was very profound. I found myself in a very LARGE but dark room. This room was my room as I was in bed, curled up in a ball. What also gave it away was that I saw light come from the direction of my bedroom door. My parents entered my room with both LOOONNNNG faces. Very similar to the painting where the person is screaming. They were laughing and congratulated me for joining them in a dream world. I began to rub my hands together to prevent myself from becoming too excited - as this could eject me from my dream. I was frightened by the image of my parents. I turned to my bedroom window, opened it up and fell out. I landed in my backyard. My yard has three trees. All in a zig zag type pattern. From tree to tree hung beautiful, multicolored chinese lanterns. As I followed these lanterns I noticed I was sort of light. Way too light. I recalled that I could try to fly in lucid dreams. (It is very hard to recall things in lucid dreams, you could say its similar to a light ego death.) I lifted from the ground and slammed painlessly into another house. Sadly the crash woke me up and I jerked out of sleep. I do believe both states are the same. I believe this because I started in my bed in the same position that I fell asleep in. I cannot say for sure this is true because I'm not extremely experienced. (only a handful of lucid dreams.)
I totally agree it’s all one. There is no outside. Physics shows us that. Great video.
I realized deja vu has a strong connection with lucid dreaming. i had a moment of deja vu that i also remember feeling in a dream that was vivid, it made me feel that dreaming is like planning the next events in your life, and each thought and action lead to it. the deja vu is just proving that you once saw it and its suppost to be the way it was. we are terrified of death but we fall asleep every night wondering the same questions
ADAM - holy fuck dude - I just watched your last video, and i commented jokingly (about swapping bodies)... but actually dude I AM UP FOR THAT we can worry about the way back later - lets skype sometime dude :) - you already have me on skype, if not then at least your email.
From the guy do did the font you use - at the beginning of each video (ps i love the new intro you made... I totally get what you wanted now - I might have another present for you sometime down the line) :)
I've always assumed astral projection and lucid dreaming were the same thing, until one time I had a very vivid dream of my long distance girlfriend at the time. She was wearing an oxygen mask at the time, and I had no idea of what it looked like or how it was used, I just knew that she was on one. I actually assumed it went over her mouth but in my dream it only went over her nose, and had a very specific oval shaped guard around it with cut outs. In the dream I got my face too close to hers and knocked the mask off her face. Several days after the dream she sent me a picture in the mask and it was exactly as I saw it in the dream. This happened to me about 11 months ago so it's still pretty fresh in my mind, but I'm not sure what to make of it. Perhaps it confirms astral projection, or even telepathy, but I could just have an active imagination.
Also I agree, in all my years of lucid dreaming I haven't encountered anything even close to dmt realms, that's a completely different ball game.
The closest I've ever gotten to astral projection was getting into the meditative state and feeling an intense vibration throughout my body which would jolt me awake every time. I've read that you have to get past those vibrations to astral project, my 1st ever lucid dream actually happened a couple months ago while I was in rehab and it only lasted like 5 minutes for me and I havent been able to do it again, dreaming is also very rare for me so when I do dream I get excited about it
I really love, how you deal with These spiritual Topics. You are open for everything, but not that naive to believe everything what seems to be something for the first Impression. Lucid dreaming/ to be Aware of your own dreams is also a strong psychdelic. I have not that much drug Impression, but would be interesting if some states on lsd, mdma, weed or amanita muscaria are similiar to dreaming.
I can relate to much in this video, I have lucid dreams very often on an average of 4 a week and some are very psychedelic and terrifying, others very poetic and adventures. But I only had a conscious OBE once. After a very high acoustic vibration I was out of body and aware. Then! I rushed outside as fast as possible ecstatic with what is happening. With something that felt like heightened scenes I anticipated the rain and felt the cold spots on my astral body. Then just a moment after the sensation I came back into my body, I fear my ecstatic nature failed me at that moment. But! I had to validate the rain phenomena and then I went outside to check... and to my amazement there proceeded a light and cold precipitation. This experience made a big difference from how I saw the nature of reality.
That is why I think that OBE's are not JUST the imagination but lucid dreaming may be more in the imagination because the projections in lucid dreaming feels more unconscious than the enlightened-know state of the OBE experience.
Since I found your channel, I've been saying to my boyfriend, "This Adam guy needs to make series on lucid dreaming!" Hurrah :)
I have lucid dreamed since i was about 10-11 and i can't believe you mentioned how you can just think float and you start floating which is what I do ! and on top of that you even mention how at times you wana float but its very hard to and you start to slowly fall and can't keep the float going. I can't believe there is someone else who has experienced this wow !
dude great videos keep it up.
If you can enter the astral realm, meet up with somebody like a friend, exchange conversation and information, and come back with identical information as your friend, it has to be something in it's own.
keep your good work bro
Hey man, idk if you'll read this or not but I've been watching all your videos and you've just really sparked this intrest inside me, I've been watching tons more videos and researching and expierementing and you just opened me up to a whole new world, anyways I just wanted to say I was watching a few documentaries on ayuasca lately and the dying art of shamans, I just wanted to ask if you've ever thought of that, you'd be a great teacher and trip sitter plus you'd get to expierement and explore as a job, but obviously moving to the jungle and teaching this wpuld be a huge change in life style, also just wondered if you've ever done ayuasca? heard it's hard to get without going on a retreat but figured that was right up your alley, anyways dude take it easy and keep posting videos I check daily, your the best!
