Once you’ve been keeping a dream journal for a few weeks you can start taking conscious control of your dreams. Most people call them lucid dreams but the term conscious dream is more appropriate.

When you wake up inside the dream and realize you’re dreaming and are separate from your sleeping body. Achieving this step is a mile stone. Total dream recall all the time can take over your “waking life.” So go easy. You have to keep a foot in this world and maintain balance.

There is a thin line between conscious dreams and astral projections. These are the easiest steps to having your first true OBE. But even at this point you will feel your frequency change and you will start having stronger psychic abilities. Always pray to the light universe. Pray to Jesus. But pray. It raises your frequency and will carry you along.

Also do chakra visualization. There are videos explaining how.

Once you are adept at your dream works you can use Castaneda’s method of the Gates of Dreaming to transition into the astral realm or 4/5 dimension. In this realm is why you should pray to and visualize light. Always remember that the human soul is king in the other realms. Except for your guides. But they are there to help.

As your body drifts off to sleep there is a transition point called the hypnogogic state. It is the moment between sleep and awake. You let your physical body drift off to sleep while you remain mentally and consciously alert. It takes some practice. But eventually you’ll be lying there thinking I’m never going to fall asleep then you’ll hear your body snoring or sleeping. Then it’s as easy as getting up and floating away from your body. This happens all the time anyway, but after keeping a dream journal you will have trained yourself to remember. When you do wake up and remember it, your life will never be the same. You will be filled with the most amazing feeling. From that point on your life will be filled with wonder.
