The Difference Between Lucid Dreaming and Astral Projection (Patreon)

Lucid dreaming is about attaining a level of lucidity; that is, lucidity of the senses in a non-physical environment.

Astral projection is about going the next step, which is about attaining a deeper level of consciousness and awareness inside the non-physical environment; that is, transcending the 'dream' state all together.

Lucid dreaming teaches us to become aware of the dream. Astral projection teaches us to become aware of WHY and HOW the dream exists, and it's through this understanding that we can go beyond it.

To understand this, it is best comprehended through practice rather than intellectually. Astral projection can be tricky to understand for most people, because unlike lucid dreaming, it is mostly a spiritual experience, that is; an awakening of consciousness.

In one sense, lucid dreaming is the complete opposite of Astral projection, because in order to Astral project, you need to stop dreaming... and the deeper truth is that most of us don't stop dreaming even when we're in physical waking life.

Anyone can dream, but it takes a special state of awareness to go Beyond Dreaming. Moving our awareness into deeper levels of consciousness is not something most us are used to and it's a challenge to understand at first, but a very rewarding challenge if one persists and remains open 🙏
