Astral travel differs from classical dreaming in many ways. In astral travel, one is able to consciously change and influence the experience. During classical dreaming, consciousness is weakened and one does not have the power to change one's experience and initiative in a dream. In most dreams, drama takes place without direct conscious control of the dreamer.

Astral traveling

In astral travel, one is aware that he has left the physical body and is embarking on a world that has no physical form. During a classical dream, one believes that the dream is real and behaves in the same way as it does in the physical world. He is afraid of death, letting himself be controlled by his dreams.

We do not always remember classical dreaming, our form of consciousness is not pure during dreaming. In contrast, during astral travel, human consciousness is clear and fully concentrated. The intensity of the astral travel experience is very strong, but fully under control. One consciously returns to one's body and then wakes up.

Astral travel can also be a great way to explore your spiritual qualities and abilities. If you truly practice astral travel, over time you can learn to consciously turn off one kind of reality and consciously enter another kind of reality. It's a bit like an elevator. Once you know which buttons to select, you can change the direction of your choice.

Lucid Dreaming

Lucid dreaming is only one way of astral travel. You can also experience astral travel during meditation or shock. The fact that it is possible to travel astrally during meditation suggests that astral travel is not a state that is explicitly dependent on a dream state. Dreamy state is only one way to astral travel.

Lucid dreaming techniques

There are many techniques to achieve lucid dreaming. The text moves in dreams, so you realize that you are dreaming by trying to read it again. Study conducted last year by Dr. Aspym and his colleagues tested the effectiveness of three common techniques.

1) The first is known as "reality testing". It is about finding out whether you are dreaming both in real life and during a dream. For example, a person may ask himself, "Do I dream right now?" While trying to put his hand through a solid wall. This technique works with intent. In real life, the wall remains solid and impenetrable, while in a dream her hand easily passes through.

2) Another “test of reality” is the repeated reading of a line of text. For example, if we read the text on the poster, it stays the same, even if we read it more than once. In the dream, however, the text is constantly shifting. Conducting these experiments repeatedly throughout the day will help to remember trying them even in a dreaming state, allowing the dreaming person to realize their dream.

3) Another technique is “waking up to bed”, and requires setting the alarm and waking the sleeping individual after about 5 or 6 hours of sleep. Once he wakes up, he should try to stay awake for a while before returning to bed. It is believed that by this technique the sleeper will immediately immerse himself in the REM phase of sleep, during which conscious dreams are most likely to appear.

Lucid dreaming can also be achieved through “mnemonic induction”. This technique requires a lot of effort and practice. Before you fall asleep, repeat: “When I wake up from a dream, I remember it.” In this way, you can “program” for conscious dreaming.
