I am seeking personal stories about astral traveling. True and serious responses only, please.?

I have conscious astral projections on a regular basis. No drugs, and they are not dreams. I know many other people who have had astral experiences or who have them on going.

AP is real but unfortunately it is only provable to those who have experienced one.

I'm wondering why you are looking for personal stories about APing. The internet is full of them.

I have had so many that I don't know which one to share. I've flown, explored the ocean floor, traveled through the earth, spoken with other people who were also in the astral and met with spiritual beings on a few occasions.

Sometimes the astral can be a bit fuzzy because of the overall state of awareness during the day, but other times the astral can seem even more real and vivid then the physical.

There are some good books out there on the subject. one book I found particularly accurate and informative is called "A Course in Astral Travel and Dreams". You can find the book here http://www.absolutepublishinggroup.com/ or at any decent bookstore like Amazon or Borders.

Cheers

I am sure you are aware that following a Near Death Experience (NDE), many people report that they were outside their own bodies looking down on it from above. During the late '60s and early '70s I was an ambulance driver and spent a great deal of time in a particular hospital's emergency room. One of the ER doctors there decided to do a NDE experiment. He made several placards with a single simple word printed boldly on them. The placards were placed strategically in each of the treatment rooms, above eye level so that no person could see them unless they were standing on a stool, looking down at the patient's gurney. If a patient was successfully resuscitated, using CPR and a defibrillator, they were interviewed the next day. About half reported the sensation of leaving their bodies and looking down on them while they were being resuscitated -- the classic NDE. Significantly, not one patient ever recalled seeing a placard and none could guess the word when prompted -- even though, if they had actually been where they imagined they were, they could not have missed the placard. The informal experiment went on for years and was a frequent topic of conversation among the ER staff. The consensus was that NDE's and the astral traveling associated with them are actually a subjective hallucination, caused by hypoxia and the chemistry of a dying (but not yet dead) brain.

In the 1960s, my maternal grandmother had cancer surgery. We lived in California, my grandparents lived in Denver, Colorado (USA).

My mom talked to her dad the night of Grandma's operation...it was not yet clear how grandma was doing...Mom went to bed. In the middle of the night, she got up, (put on her bright red bathrobe that we kids had given her for Christmas) and walked down our hall. When she got to the center of the hall, she found herself in my grandparents' hallway. She continued into their bedroom, and woke up my grandfather. She told him she was worried, and could he tell her what was happening?

Grandpa got up, they both went into his kitchen, and he made coffee. He assured my mom that the operation was a success..."Mom will be fine" he said. Then, Mom got up, reversed the process: down their hall, and into our hall in California. In the morning, Grandpa called to tell us what Mom already knew. Then he said, "Last night, I had a dream that you came into our room, and you asked how your mom is...we went into the kitchen, I made coffee, told you she was okay. Then you left, and this morning, before I got up, I smelled coffee...oh, and in this dream, you were wearing the ugliest bright red bathrobe I ever saw!"

Grandpa, being a very rational man, would have only seen this as a dream, but my mom knew it was more than that. She knew she had really been there, in Denver, with her dad.
