Hi,
How do we distinguish between sombody's astral travel(like they are visiting u) and our own dream state?
been wondering.

Hi Shiva

you dont need to distinguish...when this happens you automatically come to know that whether its an astral travel or a dream state....

Hi Shiva,

Great Question!!

As I understand it,
astral projection while sleeping is very common.
So is dreaming .. A.P.?
Does one A.P. while dreaming or
does one Dream they are A.P?

I was taught that things/issues that occur on
this plane, (physical)
can and do, work themselves out in the astral
as we sleep..
and as you know, one can astral project while awake,
with intent..

But is there a difference between Dreaming & Astral Projection while sleeping..
Yes...No???
Dreaming is "free" form..
A.P. is with an intent..

As I understand it, they are one in the same..
the difference is "intent" vs "free form"

Both are learning tools..

Bear Smiles...

Peace,
Joe

Hi,
i guess my question wasn't clear enough.
It was about differntiating between my dream state and somebody's astral projection,like whether i was dreaming of this person or is it an astral projection on his/her part?

- for myself? RC's observation stands on its own very well.

- it is up to the dreamer to build the skills necessary to do (reliably) what you ask; taking up with a Jungian Analyst is another way.

Otoharo!

shiva, my question is, does it matter? If you do not choose to have it there, ask it to go away. If you can not discern the difference you may be inviting trouble either way if you do not like it. Otherwise, examine and find out for yourself.
