Lucid dreaming is the first level of astral projection. Lucid dreaming refers to the state of being aware that you are dreaming. Many say this is a simple form of projection and that while you are dreaming, you begin by telling yourself 'I am dreaming' With lucid dreaming, you are in control of your dreams - and actually, you are astral projecting!It takes a while to master this, making it not the best way for beginners to astral project.Those who practice astral projection believe that it is very real and that most people have done it without even realizing it.Have you ever awoken from a particularly vivid dream remembering every detail? You were not dreaming this - you were astral projecting. The key to success in astral projection is to believe you can do it. Any doubts or fears you have will only hold you back and make it harder for you to astral project.Practicing meditation and other relaxation methods can get your mind and body prepared to astral project. Meditation is the best relaxation technique for those looking to astral project. The key is to find a regular meditation regimen that helps you to relax. Sitting in a quiet, distraction free room in a comfortable chair is the best way to begin meditating with the goal of astral projection. If negative thoughts continue to work there way back into your head, just continue to push them out.The best way to describe what you are going to feel is 'heavy' it is going to feel as though all of the energy and tension is slipping away from each part of your body. You will know it when it happens. Once you have relaxed each part of your body it is time for you to move to the next step that is going to help you astral project. You'll find yourself so relaxed that it may be hard to stay focused; you might even be close to falling asleep! To prevent this and to stay working towards your goal, repeat a phrase to yourself. It doesn't matter what this phrase is - anything that you can repeat to yourself easily will do the trick. Picture the light in your mind and imagine yourself going into it and becoming a part of it. As you start to astral project, there are three signs which you can watch for to know that you are doing so successfully. The first is a sensation of motion, even though your physical body is perfectly still. The second is 'seeing' color and light, even though your eyes will be closed.
Last, you'll hear voices. These voices will either be urging you to continue or to stop - this is a sure fire sign that you are on your way to astral projecting.
