i'm still not totally use to it and am learning as i experience it, you know? so i know it'll probably read a little weird if i go off on a "you" tangent here, as it's things I went through/going through and instead of explaining the experience, I just went off on things to be mindful of, that i'm still trying to be mindful of. plus i'm a little bit uncomfortable going into details about my experience - ok, slightly cowardice. private. ok, i admit that. plus i'm trying to tone down using "I" so much.

there are books and sites to read about all of this if you are a reader, want to know more about it and have never experienced it.

i feel myself leave - upper body first and lower half follows depending on my physical energy - if i'm doing it after having a full day, i'll go that way but if i do it full of energy first thing in the day, it's the reverse (lower half first than upper half follows). i think. hmmmm, i should take note of that. Thanks! Tux, do you travel beyond earth?

i've not tried to connect with family members unless they mention they are not feeling well or that they are being haunted in dreams, or they are deceased (rarely)etc. i mostly just connect up with friends, acquaintensces, etc. or go off on my own.

you asked "What are your experiences, tips, memories, science or whatever concerning this common occurance?"

experiences have been nice and have met SOOOOOOO many people and travel to so many places in different times which are looooooong stories. sometimes, you can eventually touch and move things if that is what you would like to do. Tux, are you limited to when (time period) you can go - like being able to travel to past or future but not in present time or who you meet whether they are deceased presently or very much alive now? Actually, the question really is, which do you prefer/are accustomed to doing?

each period is a different thing for me, as in, the present is clearer and can be reached "quicker" and is not limited to earth bound places and entities. the past and the future are always quirky and produce aha moments for past visits and eventual deja vu moments for future events. it's really cool when you can set up meetings with other people. it's nice to make friends too and you can teach one another different things via astral. try not to be frustrated by physical things going on around you at the same time as when you are astralling. it's also a cool way to connect to animals. my dogs use to moan a little and look at me sideways when i left and enthusiastically lick my hand when i would get back. but like you mentioned, you could have a little fun and shift to being "extra" like having fins, etc, if you want to go to places like say underwater or in the air but you could also experience these places without the extra. and yes, animals always know whether they are right beside you physically or at the place you astralled to. btw - be aware that there are people who will know you are there - learning telepathy is a plus so you could learn to communicate with others. i use to go to a psi site and sometimes people will put up coordinates and such and it's fun finding the locations but be careful if you meet people online or something and then you both set up meeting up with one another astrally - really, be mindful that some of those people are just interested in astral sex which is a whole other story which you mentioned / i like it but only with people i've become accustomed to meeting up with, not with strangers just for that particular reason.

tips: be careful who you meet and what you do. have respect for other people's privacy - as in - try not to go to someone uninvited. try to make worthwhile trips that serve a constructive purpose that maybe you've always wanted to do but felt physically restricted. like i've tried once or twice to locate missing people and have tried healing a friend or two through energy exchange. also - try to see if you could move things or touch things as you get more and more into it. for the most part - that part in the movie The Matrix where the child is explaining how to bend a spoon - that's important to know. you aren't moving things the same as you physically move them as in - you see them differently than your physical eye sees them the same with talking. also, sometimes, another person's aura can come into your physical surroundings or your aura goes into another person's physical surroundings so be mindful that the connection you make with another is quite bare. you always leave an imprint of yourself so be mindful what imprint you want to leave.

science or whatever concerning this occurrence: there are a lot of people who are trying to learn how to astral. the best thing i can say at this point for those who are trying - try to visualize certain things - like practice visualizing an apple by detail (color, shape, where it is sitting, etc.), in your mind's eye and then go from there, eventually it'll be easy for you to take off to where you want to go, whenever you want to go. if you are interested in telepathy - not to bring religion into the mix - but has anyone attended a church who speaks of talking in tongues and people start speaking in another language? to me, to speak in tongue is learning to talk internally - well it feels like that from the point of feeling like you are speaking aloud in a small room or a large auditorium. hey - you know what - it's like reading a book loud enough to hear your voice but your lips aren't moving and your thyroid cartilage/"Adam's apple," isn't vibrating. try to practice by keeping your lips closed and feeling that area in your throat - if it vibrates or you talk out loud in your physical environmental - to whoever you are communicating with via astral or tele, it may "look" as if you are trying to talk to them but they can't hear you. it takes practice.

"Mom....I had this dream that I was flying, then I fell down and I awoke, very suddenly, and I could feel it, I could feel my"self" dropping into me......"

She went onto to describe the event as feeling as if she could not breathe, as if she was suffocated for a bit.

When I told her what she had experienced she was quited freaked!!! I told her that this is a thing of the will, atleast re-membering it and she does not have to astral travel or re-member if she does not wish...and from that day forward she does not re-member...

I can only wish that I could re-member my astral travels as I am quite sure that we all do...but sometime it is so profound, so strange that we choose, when we drop back into our humaness, to not re-member..

To forget...
