Can a dream be an out-of-body experience?

Domingos Santos

 

Maybe you have already had a dream that seemed very real to you, but you only interpreted it as an ordinary dream, unrelated to the so-called out-of-body experience (astral projection, astral travel). You can review your interpretation based on what the neoscience Conscientiology has pointed out about sleep, dreams and the out-of-body experience. There are several indications that the out-of-body experience is real, even though it can have been interpreted as a dream.

Personal experience

My name is Domingos and I completely changed my perception of the reality of my dreams after learning about conscientiology studies and trying out some techniques proposed by this neoscience. In this blogpost I talk about some of these studies that show a new reality about the ability of our consciousness (spirit or soul) to act outside the limits of the physical body. 

Today I am part of a team of teachers and consciousness researchers who are volunteers in more than 20 non-profit educational institutions throughout Brazil and across the globe. Our researchers have already produced hundreds of articles and books that have helped people in different countries to promote significant changes in their lives aiming at consciential evolution. 

Is a dream just a physical phenomenon?

Although recently several researches have clarified many aspects related to dreams, this phenomenon is still considered by science as something restricted only to our physical body. However, a new look at dreams is presented by the neoscience Conscientiology, which researches the relationship between sleep, dream and the possibility of manifestation in other non-physical dimensions. 

American researchers have already tested the out-of-body experience in the laboratory. 

Reports from academic experimenters have already provided different evidence on the phenomenon of out-of-body experience. For example, in the 1960s, American researcher Charles Tart conducted an experiment in a laboratory at the University of California with a psychic nicknamed “Miss Z”, who claimed to have had an out-of-body experience. The objective of the experiment was the identification by “Miss Z” of a number composed of 5 digits which was fixed on top of a shelf so that it would be impossible to see it directly, as Miss Z was lying down and was monitored by various devices. The experiment was repeated for four nights, and on the last night, Miss Z was able to identify the number sequence. 

Other similar, more complex experiments were also successfully carried out in the laboratory, such as the one by researchers Karlis Osis and Donna L. McCormick. In 1980 they published their research in the Journal of the American Society for Psychical Research, 74, entitled  “Kinetic effects at the ostensible location of an out-of-body projection during perceptual testing”. In this experiment the target to be described by the famous psychic Alexander Tanous was contained in an optical imaging device and could only be observed from a specific location.

A non-material point of view

While this academic research may seem far removed from everyday life, similar out-of-body experiences are much more common than we think. According to researcher and conscientiology proponent Waldo Vieira, author of the treatise Projectiology, almost all people experience this every night, but they do not remember the events or confuse such events with a dream. That’s what happened to me, because I had very real dreams and interpreted them only as ordinary dreams created by my imagination.

In the work Projectiology, Panorama of Experiences of Consciousness Outside the Human Body by Waldo Vieira, knowledge was gathered based on more than a thousand bibliographic references on the subject, in addition to the author’s personal experience. It admits that part of our dreams are experiences of our consciousness outside the physical body, which we will call “projection”. These were some of the findings of the work that impacted my vision of my dreams:

Daily dreams – if you think you rarely dream, it’s because you don’t remember your daily dreams, as research has shown that everyone dreams every 90 minutes after falling asleep.

Unconscious projections and dreams – when sleeping, our subtle body (called the psychosoma) detaches itself from our physical body (called the soma) and so our consciousness can act freely through the psychosoma while our soma is sleeping. From the release of the psychosoma, consciousness passes to the so-called projective state, outside the soma, and that is why, in this state, the so-called out-of-body experiences occur. These experiences can be unconscious, semi-conscious or conscious, but in the vast majority of cases it occurs unconsciously and, therefore, we think we are only dreaming.

Dreaming with active acting signals consciential projection – in the dream we act as spectators of a film that takes place without our participation. In projection, our consciousness actively acts on the “film” and has decision-making capacity in the actions it performs. Therefore, if in your dream you were an active element that interacted in the actions as an actor of the “movie”, you were possibly in a projective experience using another body of manifestation of your consciousness.

Reasoning and analytic skills – when we are just dreaming, our reasoning and analytic skills do not work properly. Our consciousness is not alert to awaken the sense of attention. However, in the projected state our reasoning works the same way as when we are awake or even better. Therefore, if in a dream you use your reasoning and analytic skills very well, it is probably a projection.

Continuing dreams with logical sequence – a special case is dreams continued on the same night, in which a previously dreamed action continues in another dream session in the same environment and with a logical sequence. This logical and coherent chaining only occurs in projections, because in the common dream the sequence occurs without coherence and logic, inherent to the simple dream state of the common dream.

Inert body, but active consciousness – the soma is partially inert during sleep, but our consciousness awakens and experiences transcendent experiences. In this way, we can use the sleep period in a useful and conscious way through the action of our projected consciousness. That is, in this period, although it is considered unproductive from a physical point of view, we can perform an infinity of useful actions with our projected consciousness, with no limitations of space or time.

My experience

After accidentally accessing this new vision presented by Conscientiology, studying the treatise Projectiology by Waldo Vieira, and applying several techniques suggested by the work, today I pay special attention to my dreams and a multidimensional vision of my consciousness. A very useful tool for me on this journey was the technique of conscious projection through the dream, which helped me to become aware that I was projected into the dream, and from there to have a conscious projective experience. 

At first, I was so excited that I looked forward to sleep so I could apply the technique. Today I have a projective diary in which I daily record my projective experiences during sleep, a fact achieved with the help of remembrance techniques also brought in the aforementioned work. 

Based on the success of my reported experience, I believe that you too can walk a similar path in order to gain access to another vision of our multidimensional and integral consciousness. For this, I recommend the free access link to the book Projections of Consciousness, where you can learn about 60 lucid experiences outside the physical body, as well as techniques and tips for projecting yourself.
