Most people have had several astral projections in their lifetime, however they will only be remembered as dreams. It is more than likely that some of your extremely realistic dreams actually entail you going on an astral journey, also known as an out of body experience.

The most effective way to learn how to astral project at will, is to keep a dream journal. In order to understand our dreams we must first remember them, and the most effective way to do this is to keep a dream diary.

I find it is best to have a notebook or pad by my bed at all times, this notepad is used only to record my dreams in and never leaves my bedside. No matter what time of the night I wake up at I can record my dreams straightaway and not risk losing them while I am looking for a pen and paper.

When you first wake up in the morning, you should close your eyes for a few seconds and try to remember some of your dreams. Dreams are just a series of different images, and by remembering just one or two you could trigger the entire sequence. If you find it difficult to remember a single image, try to remember your feelings during the dream. Were you happy, sad, angry, etc.

It is very important that you write in your dream diary first thing in the morning before you do anything else. Include all the detail you can remember, regardless of whether you think it is relevant, and even if it doesn’t make sense. I also recommend that you write in the present tense as this makes the dreams seem more realistic. Begin by writing down the basic themes and your feelings during the dream, then you can add the specifics later.

The more regularly you write down your dreams the more associations you will be able to make. You will notice that particular people or objects will make regular appearances, or you may notice that you dream about the same place but with different people. You will also begin to notice patterns in your dreams, and associate these with your feelings at the time, such as stress, or happiness.

By keeping a full record of your dreams, you’ll be able to discover your own method of controlling out of body experiences. This is not something that you will acquire instantly, it requires practice and concentration, but will happen eventually.

The language of dreams is one of metaphor and symbol. The symbol may appear to be straightforward, other times it may also be completely confusing. The significance of these dream symbols ranges from person to person, and also within a person as they gain new experiences. It is these symbols and metaphors that you need to record in order to learn how to control your astral projection.
