Thread: Astral Wind: A Thorough Investigation

The Astral Wind
If you project regularly into the real-time zone, from time to time you will come across a mystifying phenomenon that I call the astral wind. The astral wind, one of the most awesomely powerful natural forces in the universe, is most dramatic and noticeable when experienced during a conscious real-time projection.

It is caused, I believe, by what I call the akashic pulse. I am sure some projectors will recognize the following scenario, through clearly remembered projections, dream fragments, or through vague impressions and feelings hovering near the edge of memory.

You are traveling about the real-time zone, minding your own business, when all of a sudden you are gripped by an irresistible force. You feel yourself being dragged away against your will, usually backward. It feels like you are being blown away by an incredibly strong wind, but you cannot feel or hear anything resembling a wind.

This is an excerpt I found whilst googling what I can best describe, as an astral wind or pulse.

I've been experiencing the wind as long as I can remember. All of a sudden, mid dream, it feels as if my whole body has about 60% of it's energy sucked away and you are suddenly walking through an invisible wall of jello.

The excerpt continues:

Everything is quiet and there is no noticeable disturbance in the surrounding environment. The astral wind force is similar to that feeling caused by the physical body when it attempts to reclaim its projected double, but is far more powerful. There is no anxiety, no feeling of dread or weakness, just an irresistible force dragging you away. But, why does this happen, where does it take you, and what does it do to you?

You may fight the astral wind for a few moments, feeling as if you are battling a silent hurricane-force wind.

This grows progressively stronger until you are dragged away, seemingly by the scruff of your neck, up into the sky and the great beyond. You watch as your house and town dwindle beneath you, as you are sucked through the clouds and... into the unknown.

Now this is where my experience differs.

I am always (to my recollection) able to "wade" through the wind and that is why the term "pulse" feels much more accurate to me. It is almost as if a pulse of dense frequency was slowly passing through my body. It is mildly stressful, depending on the circumstances leading up to the pulse.

Once it happened right as I was running from some tall dark entity on a dark city sidewalk. But once we entered this wind that seemed to turn us into a real-life slow motion clip, we were both caught. It has also happened in happier, more peaceful dreamscapes.

Anyway, I am confident that this phenomena is not rare and may just be hiding under some name that I have not yet discovered. I posted it in Lucid because this is always a trigger for me to become lucid. It always "sobers me up" and gives me time to think about what I want to do next in my dream.

Thank you for your time and I look forward to the discussion.
