Living Inside Your Dreams Chapter 1: The Astral: meeting the dweller

By Robert Zucker

Have you ever suddenly awakened with the incredibly strong feeling that only a few moments ago you were in some distant place?

It may have surprised you to open your eyes and discover yourself lying in bed. You could have sworn that you were actually somewhere else, visiting some far away place and doing something that seemed very real while the dream was occuring.

This is the Astral- known to use as the "dream state."

We dream about this place. It is created from the depths of our imagination and appears from the far reaches of the universal mind.

The Astral engulfs our consciousness every evening. Each night, in the midst of sleep, we are guided on a spectacular journey.

As we travel in our dreams, we become a part of a mysterious world where life seems to exist in another dimension. We are taken. to places we may never have seen before and do things we would never expect to do.

Our nocturnal wanderings carry us along on a continuous flow of unusual sights and happenings.

We met people and beings who constantly involve us in bizarre and often dramatic adventures. We find ourselves in unfamiliar surroundings which constantly change on us. We are taken to new places in a matter of miliseconds. Throughout the night, we find ourselves acting as performers on the stage of this surreal world.

Call it a dream, or what you will, this other world that envelopes our minds during sleep reaches each and every one of us every night. We need not move any further than we are right now to get there. It comes to us under the disguise of a dream and carries us away.

This is astral projection. Everyone does it. Only a few remember it. Even fewer can control it.
