Have you ever had the experience where you woke up thinking “I just had the weirdest dream” or “I have never had such a vivid dream” or “I woke up inside my dream”?
But was it a dream?
More and more often I am seeing where my clients are leaving this plane to astral travel. It is believed that astral projection occurs naturally during sleep, where one’s spirit goes to another plane of existence to have actual experiences that create the basis for your dreams, to teach you something or to give or receive healing.
Dreams for the most part disappear from your memory, you may wake up and only remember a snippet or you may remember and think “I will write it down later, but then it is gone” but with astral travel, because you were actually there living it you can remember it clear as day even years later.
That is one of the most common ways to tell the difference between a dream and an astral travel experience. It is vivid and clear as day what you experienced. Not all astral travel stays with you in that way though, at times you are traveling to give healing to another so it is focused on their healing, it is about their experience so it is really non of your business, in these cases it will be cleared from your memory. You may remember snippets, flashes of images or a word or two but basically it is gone.
This is not a New Age philosophy as some would suggest. While researching you will see its roots actually go way deeper and there have been serious studies and research conducted on the phenomenon. You can find references as far back as ancient Egypt and even early Judaic and Christian texts. You will see references to astral projection, subtle bodies, and astral planes. It also shows up in Hinduism, Japanese mythology, Amazonian and Inuit indigenous cultures, and in Taoist practices and stories. How or why would it have been mentioned in all these different places and cultures throughout time if it wasn’t real. Someone had to be experiencing it.
Some of the benefits of Astral Travel have been shown to include:
Relief from Anxiety

Often when Astral Traveling you may not set boundaries yet they are very important. If you are waking up exhausted or feeling yourself pop into your body just as your eyes open you need to set boundaries. Set the intention that you come back in time to get a full nights sleep (which may be 1-5 hours), that you only astral travel every other day or once a week. What feels right to you? Set those boundaries, you have free will.
I would love to hear your experiences with astral travel.
Happy Traveling.
