The 5 factors that causes lucid dreams and astral projections

1. State of Consciousness
2. Body Awareness
3. Desire
4. Technique
5. Environment

Once these factors are present, inducing a lucid dream and astral projection becomes
natural. Natural you say? Yes, lucid dreams and astral projections are very much a natural
phenomenon, much like sleep is. The answer to that question is that, you have already experienced them every night, more or less. You see, you dream and astral project every night (even though scientist have not been able to prove this). You are just not aware that these things are occurring to you, and becoming aware is the key. And how do you become aware of lucid dreaming and astral projecting? By practicing the five factors above
Here’s to the power of doing . Hope less Do MORE.

keep their minds awake while their bodies fell asleep, reports that, astral projections and
lucid dreams are usually very blurry, confusing and uncontrollable.
What makes it even worst, the experience usually lasts a few seconds because, even
though you manage to keep your mind alert, it still wants to fall deeply asleep and you
will have to triple your concentration efforts to stay in control

moving of your eyes to the Ajna chakra third eye focus center of the head,
above and behind eye level. Modern science calls it the pineal gland, approximately 9-
mm x 6-mm, and does not understand exactly what its function may be, but do agree that it is affected by light.

focus technique comes from the ability to make a subject focus on a single thought. It is like a magnet, in which, once focused upon, all of your mental suggestions become sucked in by your subconscious.

6 Hour Sleep/1 Hour Awake

You loose consciousness when you regularly fall asleep. You may be able to remember a dream or so, but for most of us, we have no control of the events that takes place in our dream world. This is where the nap method comes in.

Out-of-body experiences occur when your mind is at its most alert state. This is where the main differences between the nap method and the 6-hour sleep/1-hour awake method, takes place. The 6-hour sleep/1-hour awake method gives you the specific time when your mind will be at its peek alertness during sleep. The nap method averages the amount of sleep and wakefulness that you need, making it more probable that you will not reach conscious alertness at its peek state.

Research shows that an average person will be fully energized and refreshed after 8 hours of sleep. This will make your body too energized for lucidity to take place
and will eventually not let you fall back to sleep.  You simply sleep 6 hours, stay awake for 1 hour and do something active during this period, then go back to sleep.

The subconscious mind is like a computer. It does not like general questions. If you simply ask a computer for help, the computer will not understand what you need help on and will be ineffective in providing an answer. If you specifically tell a computer what you need help on, the computer will give you the answer you need.

The self-hypnotic suggestion that you will give yourself is done mentally. You will tell
yourself these suggestions lying down, right before going to sleep, because your mind is drowsy and more susceptible to commands during this time.

While lying down on your back and preparing to fall asleep, close your eyes and
perform the third eye focus technique while mentally repeating yourself the following
suggestions, “Today will be the day that I have an out-of-body experience” or “Today, I
will become aware that I am dreaming”. If your mind starts to wander or you catch
yourself falling asleep, you will notice your eyes loosing its focus to the third eye. Just
roll your eyes up again to your third eye and continue the self-hypnotic suggestions.
Eventually, you will loose consciousness and fall asleep or you will be to sleepy to
continue, in which, you could stop induction and allow yourself to fall asleep.

Close your eyes; perform the third eye focus technique and self-hypnotic suggestions until you feel the vibrations set in (you will know what these vibrations are once they come). If you start to loose focus, gently place your focus back to the third eye

You could then focus on your third eye to force the vibrations to occur. You will feel a
harmless surge of electricity all over your body. Finally, when these surges subside, you
will be in a paralyzed state. All of this is normal and is suppose to happen. Then, you
could get out of your body.

You may be in a highly vivid dream, in which, you will become aware that you are
dreaming. You can continue with the lucid dream or turn it into an out-of-body experience. You may experience a false awakening and turn it into an out-of-body experience or lucid dream. A false awakening is a dream, in which, you believe that you have awakened and carried on with your daily routine. These dreams are immensely vivid, even though, you are not in control.

If you find yourself paralyzed or floating above your body, you have passed the beginner level.

Like tuning into a radio station, the subplanes are “stations” that you can tune into with your consciousness.

The void is like the static that exists between radio stations, and when you tune into
the void, you perceive nothing at all outside of you.

Finally, I want to end the introductory theory section of these notes with what I believe are ideas to tie all the stuff I said above together.
As you see, we can take any number of views of the projection experience. You can
debate the relative merit of any of these views till you are blue in the face. It should be apparent that I discourage such semantic arguing, but at the same time I strongly advocate that you be as familiar with as many viewpoints as you can, again, not only about astral projecting, but about everything in life.
Now, I’ve already stated that, even though astral projecting is an extremely dramatic
experience within the context of our society’s accepted ideas about reality, compared to learning how to be in touch with the buddhic plane(the plane where epipanies and creative genius stem from), astral projection is nothing. In other words, astral projecting is not the end all be all of life. Bringing buddhic plane energies into your life IS the end all be all of life.

What becomes apparent when you’ve expanded the horizons of your personal experience enough is that THERE IS JUST CONSCIOUSNESS.
It really doesn’t matter what form the consciousness takes, or what plane the consciousness manifests on. Such things are merely relative. The absolute in life is CONSCIOUSNESS: mine, yours, a tree’s, a dog’s, a planet’s, a god’s - all just consciousness.
