It is all too easy to forget some of the lessons we learn in the astral, this is why it is important to reflect on and write down our dreams and OBEs and on occasion reread.

This summer I forgot the words of an astral traffic warden I met once in an OBE, in the UK traffic wardens are the people who fine you for parking in the wrong place. When I met her I was singing and dancing to upbeat music and she came over. I thought she was going to fine me for singing and dancing in public. However, she said that she was going to fine all the people who weren’t singing and dancing.

In other words she was saying don’t forget to sing and dance in life or you may have problems. I ended the summer with a tendonitis in my left shoulder. The second half of the summer was enjoyable but a little stressful, When I’m stressed a lot of the tension goes into my shoulders usually I don’t even realise I’m doing it, dancing in the evening in the kitchen to 70s and 80s music while I’m cooking usually de-stresses my body I shake off all the days stress like my dog shakes off all the emotion we smother him with.

I didn’t realise how this contributed to my wellbeing until the other evening when after boogieing a little in the kitchen there was a lot more movement in my shoulder. For half of the summer I had been too busy to partake of my kitchen disco, instead keeping all the stress in my shoulders, the body can only take so much and once home, my left shoulder had had enough and I got my ‘fine’ so to speak.

The astral traffic warden experience may seem quite simple and not really one of my more memorable OBEs but the message is indeed important, don’t stop singing and dancing, allow your body the opportunity to express itself freely. Allow your self to express itself freely, in the end this is your story, you are the protagonist, only you know what you need.

Remember even the simplest of out-of-body experiences can carry an important message.
