I beleive there is a difference in lucid dreams, also astral projection where meditation is involved and out of body experiences, however out of body experiences i think you do at some point will witness your actual body giving you confirmation of your reality.



I believe "reality" is as hoax....

We are limited in our perception and "reality" is 100% truth...





Peter Pan, IN reality, i suspect you were on mingle posting in this thread...hmmmm or is this a figment of my imagination??

Out of Body experience..
What do you think it is?


A difficult question to answer.

Most people think it's your spirit leaving your body and later on re-entering.

If your spirit left your body your body would die. Simply put.

Take those on the operating table. Unless they get that heart started after it's stopped the ghost aint comin back. Same thing here. If you leave the body it dies.

thats weird, I dont know much about it..but how long do most people who have experienced it, actually leave their body...is there a difference between and out of body experience and a near death experience?

Maybe its because I don't trust people, but I have to say that I liken this to those that claim to have been abducted by aliens.


Dreams in the sub conscious mind are no different than fantasy in the conscious mind.

Freud's thesis that "the meaning of every dream is the fulfillment of a wish" is the best explanation I have found.

If you fantasize about something when you are awake, the sub conscious takes that and replays it in more detail when you are asleep.

"The meaning of every dream is the fulfillment of a wish", that doesnt make sense to me, because how do you explain dejavue, or nightmares...which also often occur during the dream state?

You have to realize that Freud said that. YUCK. All he dreamed about was sex and his mother. He had some deep issues. His blanket statement comes from his own ignorance.

I suggest you read "The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious" by Jung.

Where would the field of psychoanalysis be today if it weren't for Freud?

Places like the William Alanson White Institute wouldn't exist if it wasn't for Freud.

Sándor Ferenczi, Fromm, Thompson, Reichmann... the list goes on and on of people that were influenced by Freud's work..

To say he was an idiot is equivocal to saying Shakespeare was illiterate.

I think the field of psychoanalysis would be in a lot better place actually, if it weren't for Freud, but we'll never know will we? It is what it is, and it still hasn't scratched the surface of the human psyche.

But that is just my uneducated opinion. Some of the most insane people I have known were psychoanalysts, or psychiatrists. In my home town that I grew up in the head of the State Hospital had his own mental problems and committed suicide.

I totally respect medicine and research and the human body and human brain and all that

I even wanted to be a psychologist when I left High School

but as I get older, I start to lose more and more respect for the field as it seems just a gold mine for professionals to continuously make money off of people by medicating them and charging them to 'talk' to them about their 'illness'

and new illnesses seem to develop whenever enough people of an upper class are misbehaving in some way or another,,,
it makes more profit to charge them for their medication and sessions and it helps alleviate them from feeling 'shame' or 'guilt' or any of those other terrible feelings of accountability we try to shy away from....


instead of drunks we have alcoholics, instead of druggies we have addicts, instead of tramps we have sexual addictions,,,etc,,etc,,,etc,,,

Dreams and Out of body experiences are closely related though. I was dreaming about flying and I decided to fly higher and higher and soon I was out in space.

The dream became a very lucid dream. A lucid dream is one where you know you are dreaming but it is also one that becomes more clear and more real.

When a dream becomes as real as waking reality, then how can you tell the difference?

It makes you wonder about "reality."


you wake up...

I imagine remote viewing could be considered a type of out of body experience.
At any rate I have always found it interesting and I've followed it since 'before' computers (old fashion research methods).

Below are some new methods - links that some find interesting.

CIA-Initiated
…Remote Viewing At Stanford research Institute

by H. E. Puthoff, Ph.D.
1996
Institute for Advanced Studies at Austin

Austin, Texas 78759-5329
from MindControlForums Website

Abstract
In July 1995 the CIA declassified, and approved for release, documents revealing its sponsorship in the 1970s of a program at Stanford Research Institute in Menlo Park, CA, to determine whether such phenomena as remote viewing "might have any utility for intelligence collection" [1].

Thus began disclosure to the public of a two-decade-plus involvement of the intelligence community in the investigation of so-called parapsychological or psi phenomena.

Presented here by the program’s Founder and first Director (1972 - 1985) is the early history of the program, including discussion of some of the first, now declassified, results that drove early interest.

I dont want to get too off topic here but everything now is described as a psychological disorder. You are mentally ill with either post-partum depression, addiction or dependency, delusional, bi-polar, manic depressive. . . whatever happened to just being emotional or going through a rough patch in your life.

If you have a mid life crisis are you really considered to be a depressed person and labeled the rest or your life?
