Waking up "out of body"

[@ndy]

For me lucidity and false awakenings go together - when I started to have more lucid dreams they started with false awakenings, I'd often find myself waking up for the 4th time, going down stairs... realising something was amiss and I was still asleep and then wake up again.

I guess as you gain more confidence and you realise your aware and asleep - then you can start to play with the experience a bit more.

Anyway, I thought I'd share this as I was chatting to a local friend just yesterday about this

She was telling me of when she was a teenager and her lucid dreams started - how she would see 'entities' she wasn't sure about.
She'd met some Gnostic Christians - and they had chatted.
The Christian guy had told her to challenge the entities by holding out her hand and shouting 'By the power of the Christ - Leave'

The next time she experienced an entity in a dream, she did as the bloke had suggested held up her hand and bellowed 'By The Power of the Christ Leave'

She said all of a sudden there was this hysterical laughing from behind here were one of her guides appeared - barely able to control themselves and asking wtf she was doing

They then went on to remind her that she 'knew' she was always safe
