Here's an interesting video about dream characters and lucid dreaming: https://youtu.be/Uoh9Wh0V3Ts Recently, I had this interesting conversation with someone from Rebecca Turner's World of Lucid Dreaming forum: ---Oneiropagida: I don't believe they have a mind of their own. ---Summerlander: Fair en...

Thank you.

What a calumniation on your part. I had never mentioned my affiliation with Michael Raduga until you felt the need--with your god complex--to mention that you are the almighty admin here. And hardly anything is being promoted apart from the mention of an existent website which people interested in O...

Someone on a different forum decided to attack my atheism like this: 'Just imagine that the concepts of good and evil dont exist. God is the point where Darkness and Light touch eachother. God is INFINITE and by this he is EVERYTHING, he is creator and destroyer, chaos and light he is made, heritage...

So I decided to check this astral projection forum after Rebecca Turner's lucid dreaming website played up with a weird glitch. I commented and pretty much stated that a belief in astral projection is unfounded. This dude called me 'close minded'. I wouldn't say I'm close-minded. Take fairies, for e...

Here I express Frederick Douglass's sentiment. He brought a sigh to the oppressed. Emancipation in the New World took its first steps with him ... How dare he say that the singing voices of the slaves evidence their contentment? On the contrary; their music is an outlet for sadness and frustration a...

The human mind can be literally divided with a knife. Have you heard of the peculiar effects of callosotomies -- the severing of commissures connecting both brain hemispheres (once used as a treatment for conditions like severe epilepsy)? Once a living brain is dissected via the corpus callosum, bot...

Akashic Records = subconscious

Following the philosophically constructive conversation between Harris and Tegmark which I posted recently, I will begin my status with a narrative about an alien from a distant world, a world so distant that no mortal can intuit, and yet, our alien is JUST LIKE US ... He emerged from a great cosmic...

I can't stop pondering over cosmic creations and transformations. How dumbfounding is it that a rock forms in space whose tempestuousness generates pressures powerful enough to cause instances of complex carboniferous structures? Eventually, primordial soups in agitation stumble upon the crucial mol...

Someone just told me that, after repudiating Von Daniken's book to his neighbour, this one stormed out. Wow! Some people can't get over their bruised egos. Von Daniken himself has even admitted to 'embellishing' his claims. Despite the fact that he recanted an assertion about an Indian pillar being ...

Daniken authored CHARIOTS OF THE GODS, where he asserts that ancient gods were actually advanced extraterrestrials who influenced religions and culture on Earth. An intriguing hypothesis for which there isn't one shred of convincing evidence; not to mention that the book---deemed by reputable scient...

You're on the right track. Keep trying. I tend to use the deferred method too. Check out Raduga's algorithm to enter the phase diagram. I find it quite useful.

Hi, AstralOneironaut! I've definitely been meditating a lot more than entering the phase state lately, that's for sure. I have also been spending a lot of time reading about a smorgasbord of subjects. (Currently reading about submarine action during the Cold War and the Falklands conflict.) And, yes...

We may have found an alien civilisation light-years away! It looks like there are intelligently built structures orbiting another star in our galaxy. This is better than finding water on Mars! If these are Dyson spheres that we have found, then the aliens are far more advanced than us--Type 2 on the...

You're welcome! In nearly two centuries of neuroscience, we have observed that all mental faculties are excisable via brain damage or malfunction; it is enough to render Descartes' dualism defunct. The soul concept doesn't even explain consciousness; it only aggravates the problem as we are then for...

I think 'astral projection' is a belief-centric and delusional affair which can impede the practice of entering and managing the phase state--a condition where everything that is experienced arises in your mind and is entirely subjective.

No. The reason for this is that the nature of objects in the phase state is mental. Percepts in the phase are of the nature of dreams, and the hybrid state itself is merely an incorporation of waking consciousness and REM sleep.

Cool! Do share your experiences with us! :-)

Do let us know more! :-)

This is a good debate:

My control is certainly better than when I first started - especially when it comes to prolongation of the phase state. But don't full yourself into thinking that you are in control of everything. For starters, there is no such things as free will: http://www.world-of-lucid-dreaming.com/forum/viewto...

Most alien abduction accounts are either the product of phase states of the brain (hallucination) or outright hoaxes. A small percentage remain inexplicable but lack scientific evidence. There is no concrete proof that extraterrestrials are abducting human beings. You wish to have an out-of-body exp...

None of those things are possible and the book makes it quite clear that remote-healing via the phase state has never been evidenced in practice. The world you encounter in the phase state is entirely your own, entirely your own creation - sourced largely from the subconscious mind (which is one of ...

Be forceful. I just encountered this paralysis thing, like the body weighs a tonne, a few nights ago. I aggressively moved and stood with minimal visibility. I knew then that I was in the phase and proceeded to deepen the state.

Cool! Thanks for sharing!

Wow! Dreamy indeed...

The Bay of Pigs Debacle Watching “Thirteen Days” (a film about the Cuban missile crisis starring Kevin Costner and Bruce Greenwood) made me want to look into the events that preceded it, namely, the Bay of Pigs invasion. For those who wish to know what led to the Cuban missile crisis, the story begi...

This should be interesting!

I had changed it but it seems it reverted back. I suspect you are doing this for your own amusement. If not, get over your obsessive compulsion. As for "mither," yeah, it is British, I suppose. I am living in the UK, doofus. >:D I changed it again. If it returns then simply right-click on ...
