astral projection - stuck in the tunnel
70Ever since I had a profound experience during sleep paralysis I started to researsh and subsequently found out about astral projection. It was very interesting to me since i already practice meditation frequently. I read the book the psychic explorer by Vee Van Dam and couldn't believe how deep this astral projection rabbit hole got. using some of the suggested practices i began focusing my thoughts and energy on this goal, to purposely learn and master astral projection.=) i've had lusid dreams before and tried projecting from a dream state. i have yet to find success from this method and wonder if it is even possibly to turn a lusid dream into an astral projection. durring meditation i will find that in my minds eye i will see either a triangle or circle that keeps growing then returning and repeating and essentially turning into a tunnel. the intensity builds each time but i can only maintain this state for a short period on time until it gets too intense and my concentration breaks. if anyone has any insight on getting past this i would really appreciate it.

I come from a family of Sleep Paralysis. My dad calls these "Circle Dreams" because before he actually falls asleep a circle opens up in front of him and he just gets up and walks into the circle. He said the dreams are very vivid and the colors are prettier than what we usually see here. He can do anything in that world that he goes into. Once he got up out of bed and looked back at his bed and he was still in it. It kinda freaked him out. He tried to think of how he was going to get back into it and he said he just came to the conclusion that he should just lay back down in his body. He did and then he got up. lol. My son astral projects. He told me that you just have to keep your mind moving. I'll ask him more about it. It's been a hot topic for us lately because he said it starts with sleep paralysis. With my family's abilities in this I should be able to get there if I can get past the freaking out stage. I get scared when I realize it's going to happen. So in turn I just snap out of it. :( But I believe he can do the lucid dreaming as well, which is what the dream circles are that you are talking about.
