Every night, as we slip into the realm of sleep, something extraordinary happens. While our physical bodies sleep, our consciousness embarks on a journey of its own, roaming through the vast expanse of the cosmos, learning, and engaging in tasks beyond the confines of our waking reality. Many times, when our physical body wakes up, we remember some of our nocturnal adventures but we assume they were only dreams.
We all possess an energy body or astral body, distinct from our physical form. This energy body is more subtle and fluid, capable of traversing different dimensions and realms. It’s the real us. The energy body is who we are when not in physical form. During sleep, this energy body separates from the physical body, allowing the consciousness to roam freely.
There is growing research in the field of consciousness studies proving that during sleep, the brain enters a state of altered consciousness, where the boundaries between the self and the external world become blurred. Advancements in neuroimaging technology have provided insights into the brain activity during sleep. Studies have shown that certain regions of the brain, such as the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex, exhibit heightened activity during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, the stage of sleep associated with dreams. This suggests that the brain is actively engaged in processing information and consolidating memories, contributing to the phenomenon of astral projection or out-of-body experiences.
But what exactly happens when our energy body ventures into the cosmos during sleep? Astral projection offers an opportunity for spiritual growth and exploration. Encounters with beings of light, visits to celestial realms, and insights into the nature of reality that transcend the limitations of the physical world are experienced during astral projection. Astral travel expands our understanding of the universe, and we can even heal emotional wounds through these experiences. In the darkness of night, we truly awaken to the boundless potential of our consciousness. We transcend the limitations of the material world to explore the mysteries of the cosmos.
When you awaken from sleep with a dream on your mind it might be a memory of an astral adventure you just had.
