dream scream

I have some time and material to share and figured it's time to put it down somewhere before any more details fade. Been having some strange dream activity with Rachell lately

Perhaps when you are in that altered state, you begin hearing more with not your physical ears, but with your astral ears, which are more acute.
I've had my share of weird dreams and shared dreams and I'm still not sure what they are all about, however, I can relate and I've been through it too.
My question to you is, personally, why do you seek out OBE experiences? What do they do for you? What do you learn? How does it help you in life?
I used to seek them so much when I was younger and now, well, I am still curious, but more cautious. I think then I was using it more as an escape or to discover something more. Now, I know there is something more, and I think I OBE mostly at night and in "dreams" though I don't seek it unless I'm in alot of pain, like with a migraine or something. I've tuned in so much to the spirit sometimes I feel like I've forgotten to balance it with the physical.
So, I'm curious. What are you up to here?

Part 1

Thank you so much for expressing your interest! I sincerely appreciate it more than you know. Sometimes I'm really desperate to discuss this stuff with someone who's been through it before. I'll do my best to answer your question. I've been fascinated with OBE's since I was very young. When I was 13 or 14 I would spend sometimes up to 3 hours a day laying in bed doing everything I could to try and make it happen. I did this for months and months and it never worked. Back then, I was just so mystified and it was pure curiosity. Now that I'm older and I've had more than I can count, and I've read a LOT more about it, I have more reasons. There is definitely still the curiosity, but it's not as much of an unknown thing to me now

Part 2

So... I think that's pretty much why. I feel it's a natural talent to me, and it's something I must pursue. To seek knowledge and spiritual evolution. And aside from self-centered reasons like that, I also have a strong desire to learn how to use this ability to the betterment of others. I want to learn how to use it to heal, to diagnose, and assist others in their spiritual growth as well. And you know, I certainly won't deny there is also a desire to escape. But, I do believe this is a natural desire in all people. I wish I could remember the name of the man (scientist, psychologist, or something) who wrote extensively about how the desire to alter one's state of consciousness is as natural an instinct as survival and the like. Along this same line, I'd be lying if I said I learned nothing from my drug-induced dissociative experiences. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and sure I have many regrets about it, but I can't ignore the positive things I learned as a result. To be a bit more specific, I learned what sensations mean

What a thorough response that was, thank you!
I am proud of you for taking the healthier route and steering clear of the drugs now- that is amazing in and of itself.
It seems wise to hone your abilities and natural talents whatever they may be, especially when it comes to spiritual talents, non-traditional, maybe even supernatural. To be able to unravel the mystery of these things like OBE's and dreamings, and such and control when and how and how much they happen is a wise endeavor. I respect that you say you are delving into it with more awareness now and good intentions.
Thanks again so much for sharing this with me! It is wonderful to hear that you are on the right path :)
