Suppose a person is in a relationship and has astral sex with another person - does that count as infidelity? The astral body and mind is fully conscious when engaging in astral sex and has the capability to think, reason, and listen or ignore one's conscience much like the capabilities of the physical body and mind. Although astral sex is real, whereas dreaming about having sex with someone is not, this brings up another question. What about having sexual dreams when you have a partner - does that count as cheating? Some things that happen within our dreams we have little or no control over, but what about those dreams where we do have control, or in lucid dreaming, where we're fully in control of our own actions, if we engage in sexual activity then, would that count as infidelity as well? Since the people in our lucid dreams and regular dreams are either a product of our imagination or are images of real individuals who are not actually participating in the dream, unlike in astral projections dreams, would it still be ethically wrong to consciously engage in sexual activity within those dreams? Theoretically, would that be equivalent to cheating? For those of you who have answered yes or no, please share the reasoning behind your conclusion. |

you must be the change you wish to see in the world...

Personaly I don't think so, I fantasize all the time, and fatasys only take place inside the mind, and basicly never even took place, and astral/dream sex isn't much diffrent (as they both take place outside the physical world) I red once in a book about astral projection, that astral sex is not considered cheating, infact it can be quite healthy, for example your partner doesn't have the same sex drive as you, and they never have to know about it, all depends on your definition of reality, I'm an atheist though. |

I wanna be the very best
Like no one ever was
To lucid dream is my real test
To control them is my cause
I will have to agree with Seeker. |

Eternity in a Box.
I agree with Seeker, I mean you are still having sex, and enjoying it with another person. |

Someone's going have to explain to me how this is possible. I thought AP was your energy/mind/soul whatever you want to call it leaving the body and traveling in this physical reality. |

You are sopposed to be able to meet higher entitys or other projecters I believe astral sex has something to do with the throat chakra. |

No. Since you are not in full control even though you think you are. |

The ego is a dangerous thing to feed…
I wouldn't consider it cheating, but if you have to .. exhaust your fantasies on a dream character, then you really need to talk to your partner. |

It seems that most people are voting on the side of promiscuity. |

You and I seeker need to store a copy and paste about this topic. We have addressed this many times. |

"talk" |

Good question... |

To me personally, and I don't necessarily extend this personal moral to other people, it's pretty much cheating with you're consciously doing it, even if you feel as if you're in another realm or something. I don't think it's cheating if you're dreaming and have no conscious control over it. What I've found funny about this topic, since I've been with my husband, having sex in my dreams with someone other than my husband is almost an instant lucidity cue... if things are getting hot and heavy with someone in my dreams who isn't my husband, I suddenly get upset, realize it is a dream, and go into the next room or whatever to find him. I think that if you only partially gain lucidity in a dream like that, it's not cheating either. If I don't gain full lucidity in those dreams, I don't stop and go looking for hubby. I don't see that as cheating. |

Leo, I know you have admitted that you come here to provoke people, but I suggest you do it with a good bit more logic than that. You just laid out quite an incoherent spew. Since I like arguing with internet instigators, I will correct your mess. I said that you cannot cheat on somebody with a thought AND added in detail that expecting somebody to not even stray away from them in their thoughts is unrealistic and unfair. You assume that cheating could be the only percieved betrayal. How about falsely percieved cheating? How about betrayal in thought that qualifies as something that is not cheating? How logical would a woman be if she called her divorce lawyer and said that her husband cheated on her with a magazine, or a mental image of an imaginary woman? "My husband cheated on my with his imaginary mistress! I'm going to kick her ass!" Then you went off into some really bizarre territory in the region of the completely unfounded. Try harder. |

Forgive me for asking, but could somebody define "astral sex" for me? I'm a bit new to the entire Beyond Dreaming forum. |

Lustfull desires are always present, even when you are madly in love with someone. Many non lucid dreams include sex with DreamCharacters other then your Partner: Should you wake up feeling guilty? No. You didn't REALLY cheat afterall. And when you're in a Relation ship there's no doubt that you'll be attracted to others anywaz: As long as you don't give in to these desires and Value something as good and infinitely more valuable as Love Miles OVER Lust : You did nothing Wrong. |

Luminous Spacious Dream Masters That Holographically Communicate
among other teachers taught me
not to overestimate the Value of our Concrete Knowledge;"Common sense"/Rationality,
for doing so would make us Blind for the unimaginable, unparalleled Capacity of and Wisdom contained within our Felt Knowledge;Subconscious Intuition.
When you astrally project, your astral body detaches from your physical body (much like in the transition during death) and this body has all the senses your physical body has and you are able to either roam around within the physical plane or travel to an astral plane. Because you take on an astral form, the only way you can come in contact with an individual who can see you/acknowledge you in that state would be to encounter other people who are astrally projecting, or having an out of body experience, which is just another term for AP. I have read about people actually planning with their friend or significant other to willfully project to each other in the astral plane and some claim to have been successful at this. Of course astral projection has many more benefits to it than just sex. People can "meet up" within the astral state and do pretty much anything that they can do in the physical world, and all their senses are more magnified within the astral realm. Because astral sex involves people who are fully conscious, just because they're in the astral realm does not mean that they will be willing to engage in sexual activity with a random person they run into, but I think that a lot of people who are astrally projecting are not even realizing they're doing this, so they may want to "experiment" because they perceive the astral dream to be a regular dream. Also, from what I know, astral projection should only be practiced when a person is willing to lose some sleep because in that state your mind is constantly engaged, and therefore is not rested. |

Astral projection or oobes are as real as being awake. They can be accessed by lucid. In fact when you're flying whist lucid then you're probably out of body. |

LOL cool topic. i wonder if two people can have an astral Baby?. |
