Often when I publish a podcast episode the following day I have an OBE, this shows how focusing on astral projection helps you in your practice. I had this experience the morning after I published my last episode, it all started with a dream:

I am dreaming I am with people talking about me getting married, in the middle of the conversation I think to myself, ‘hang on a minute I’m already married’ and that’s when I become lucid. I say to my dream characters ‘I’m dreaming, now how about a bit of flying and I take off, encouraging my dream characters to do the same, however they can’t fly and simply run beneath me. I decide to go into the astral, and repeat, ‘now I am in the astral.’ I shoot up in the air and the dream disappears.

I am in a place I can’t describe, on the ground I see a black folded card with gold writing on it, the writing is Greek. A man comes over who looks like Keanu (kay ah noo) Reeves, he says that the writing on the card are the rules to follow when in the astral, I look at the writing and tell him it looks too complicated I follow my own innate moral guidance system, he seemed happy with that and walked off.

I say to my higher self, ‘take me where I need to be’, I shut off my astral vision as sometimes it can be a bit distracting and I allow myself to be whisked off somewhere. I open my vision and see a country road with trees either side. I think to myself, ‘this looks nice’ then I suddenly hear people running, cars, vans and sirens. I hide to see if I can work out what’s happening. The chaos passes me by so I come out of hiding, I walk towards where I believe the action is, it all seems so real, there is a gate made of tree branches, I touch one and feel the bark, it feels as real as if I am touching it in the waking world, it is incredible, then I get on with the problem at hand.

There is a group of people and they are discussing a couple who have falling in love but are from opposing sides, apparently there are 2 communities who are at odds with each other and have been for a long time. They are going to punish the couple, I get an image of a small statue being pounded into the heart of the couple involved, seems a bit extreme but, this may be literally or the image may have some sort of symbolic meaning. I ask the people, ‘Would you do that to your own daughters?’ I know that their daughters also have relationships with young men from the ‘other side’. They answer ‘No they wouldn’t.’ I start telling them that they are living by archaic rules from the past that are no longer relevant. I manage to convince them and the 2 sides sign a truce.

One of the daughters attracts my attention and we go outside, she tells me she needs to have a long talk, I explain that I am out-of-body and can’t stay for much longer (I feel I am going to wake up soon). She tells me quickly that she is in a ‘certain condition’ by that I understand that she is pregnant, she doesn’t look pregnant, at least in the way that we humans understand pregnancy. The girl then starts to go into labour and here it starts to get a bit weird and very difficult to explain. It is as if I am carrying her in a container, in the container there is gooey stuff and it’s as if she is underneath. Anyway at that point I wake up.

Again, similar to my last podcast episode, I seem to have become a bit of a trouble shooter in the astral world sorting out conflicts.

Happy travels,

Ali.
