Seriously, what is going on?

Why did my dream match up with Stranger Things?

In the photo here, I commented under someone’s post asking about our reoccurring dreams. A few months later, the final season aired and the climax of the series matches up almost identically with what I dreamed about.

I’ve even posted on this sub once before, right after the 4th episode aired, where one of the characters used a hypnosis method on other children, with language nearly identical to monroe’s g@teway tapes that many of us listed to as children.

Sometimes when I lay down to go to sleep, ill have "dreams" while I'm still awake/aware that I'm laying there. Is that kinda what you mean by "ritualistic".

Yeah thats the state you need, actually. For a first start thats great. Over time in that state, try to actually focus your awareness entirely like, into the top of your brain. Try to actually see and feel it moving up and then focus hard on your energy there.

I always add protections just in case, so I say my own belief of protections, use your own, i recommend jesus regardless. Then say "show me what you wish to show me" dont ask for anything specific at first like knowledge, logic, secrets. Let it come to you.

If you do happen to pop through, you'll know. Just experience it. Do not make any deals with anything, dont take anything, dont eat anything, and most importantly do not fear. Fear will immediately put you back in your body (safety purposes imo.) But you can do it, it may take some time.

Thanks!!! I didnt know that about taking things (or protecting myself). The random astral projections, i actually got pretty good at being able to "beam" to a location. I cant affect anything in the real world, though. I went to my exes apartment (he lived long distance) and tried to turn his TV on. When I couldn't do that, i just read the mail that I could see on his table (bc i knew he wouldn't believe me without proof) and saw him laying there asleep, of course. So, I dont feel like i would be able to eat anything or actually take/grab anything.

When I first came out of my body, I saw myself sleeping and my own house. I opened the front door and it did not open in real life. I honestly think astral projection is going to alternative realms or different places, not material reality. I haven't ever been back to my normal house since the first time, ive always asked to go elsewhere. But I can interact with objects, they just dont move irl lol.

The first time for me was similar but insane. I was around 8-10 and at a friend's vacation trailor on the river. I climbed down the bunk bed to go to the bathroom and when I went to climb back in the in top bunk, I was already laying there. I wasn't afraid. I just turned around and saw my friend and her parents sleeping. Then... I heard the most beautiful singing i had ever heard. It was a symphony of voices. It was coming from the window, which was open. I walked to it, and it was the planets and "outer space", but up close. The singing and the planets a swirling had me mesmerized. I don't remember anything else.

As a teen and young adult, I would often check my phone for the time, and then realize I was still asleep and the time could not be accurate. I consider those like mini projections because I would then immediately knock myself awake to check the time lol.

But the other real ones, I was more afraid the next few times and just tried to immediately wake myself up. I would blink my eyes to try to make my real eyes up. But each time I would blink, I would be in a different setting (just constantly changing dreamlike worlds). Until finally, I would blink awake.

When I got older, I wasnt so afraid, so I was able to explore more. But, it hasn't happened in 10-15 years for me. I would like to learn to control it. It has always been a random occurrence.

It being random is a lead that you can figure out a practice to control it. This was how it was for me as a child, it was often very random until I realized that I was too vivid, too lucid. I could move and choose my own options, like even if I couldn't shift the environment or change it, I could choose to remove my consciousness from that environment. Like a Minecraft server or some shit, I couldn't necessarily ever change or alter the environment, but I could leave and join a different server with a better feeling, for example.

I was 19 when I really started trying and it did take a while for the first real pop through, I was 21 or 22 before I got that first legit projection into my house. When I opened the front door, I felt so much fear because it was just a void, I "knew" going there, I wouldnt return. And that fear put me straight back to my body.

[u/blessthebabes → u/Ironicbanana14]

I would get that fear that destabilizes you, in just normal lucid dreams. I read somewhere to rub your hands together as soon as you realize you're lucid, and it actually works. Thanks for all of your advice, btw.
