Paranormal Activity:
The Reality of Altered States

Paranormal activity is linked with lucid dreaming all the time. Consider astral projection and out of body experiences, remote viewing, precognitive dreaming, and mutual dreaming. Like lucid dreams, they all play on the concept of altered states of consciousness. The question is, are they real?

Scientists accept the idea of the OBE; that it really is possible to project your awareness outside of your physical body. But what's really happening? Is it just a trick of the mind, or a very lucid dream? Why is astral projection associated with a spirit body, a silver chord and ethereal vision - whereas lucid dreams are not?

It's important to question so-called paranormal activity and try to experience it for yourself. The articles here offer guides to inducing altered states of awareness, with step-by-step instructions and brainwave entrainment MP3s. As you come to learn more about perception, you may start to ask... what is reality anyway?

Astral Projection

Astral projection is an esoteric theory of the out of body experience or OBE. It describes the paranormal activity of a separate spirit body that can roam freely of the physical body. People who claim to astral travel use altered states of consciousness to induce an OBE and explore the astral planes.

In his book, Journeys out of the Body, Robert Monroe gives extraordinary accounts of his OBE and astral projection experiences. During his out of body adventures, he claimed to visit multiple dimensions and interact with higher conscious beings, including deceased loved ones and non-humans.

Learn how to have an OBE and experience the astral plane for yourself. Decide whether this is a vivid lucid dream, some other elaborate mind trick, or a genuine gateway to the astral dimensions. Only you can decide the true nature of this incredible phenomenon.

Remote Viewing

Remote viewing is the paranormal activity of gathering data on a remote target - to 'see' across long distances without actually going there. It shares common themes with astral projection, but does not rely on the existence of an astral plane or spirit body - rather a kind of remote telepathy.

Remote viewing was used by the US Government as an intelligence gathering tool between World War II and the 1990s.Read about these fascinating military operations and the declassification of the famous 'psychic spy' project known as Stargate.

Is remote viewing real? Mainstream science rejects the idea because it breaks the known rules of time and causality. However, remote viewers say our current view of the universe is inaccurate. See if you can learn remote viewing for yourself and find out what's possible.

Precognitive Dreams

Precognitive dreams - also known as psychic dreams - are believed to tell the future. This paranormal activity has fascinated mankind for thousands of years. Is it possible that we can access psychic powers while we are asleep and in altered states of awareness?

Discover how to use lucid dreams to ask your unconscious mind questions about the future. This is a fun task that may yield some surprising results. Ask yourself anything, from whether to take a job offer - to what next week's lottery numbers will be!

Mutual Dreaming

Mutual dreaming is the act of two or more people sharing the same dream. It is believed by some that lucid dreamers can co-ordinate and plan to meet in a particular dream location. They can report back on conversations and events that take place in mutual dreams on their return to reality.

How are mutual dreams possible? Do dreamers really meet up in some kind of alternate dimension or astral plane? Are they engaging in psychic paranormal activity, in the mind of one dreamer?

What is Reality?

What is reality? We can use lucid dreams and other paranormal activity to explore this for ourselves.

Intriguingly, modern theories from quantum physics open up the possibility of multiple alternate realities. And what is a dream if it's not an alternate reality? Is it all in our heads? Or are the dreams we manifest somehow real - somewhere in the universe or beyond?

Also discover the Simulation Argument, which offers a shocking twist to our take on reality.

With the power of lucid dreams and other altered states of awareness, we can explore ideas like:

• Is there a single, true reality?
  
• Are we living in a simulated reality or a dream-within-a-dream?
  
• What is the difference between a simulated reality and a real one?
  
• Should we behave any differently knowing we are in a simulation?

These are all fascinating questions which deserve answers. Maybe our ability to explore certain paranormal activity will shed some light.
