Well, last night it happened again. I had a levitation dream....been having them since I was a little girl. This one went on and on too...seemed to last a very long time, with all kinds of things happening. I can barely describe the feeling of lifting up, and remaining suspended in the air....and floating up and up....using nothing but my mind and concentration. It's almost as though it were a memory from another life. People gathered around to see me do it. I asked this guy in my dream, if he wanted to learn, and I told him "you will be the first person that I ever taught how to do it!"
And I went to do it again, to show more people, and I remember I pointed my index fingers, as though I were using magic, but it was a concentration point. People couldn't believe that I was actually doing it, and they looked for strings, and it was the most amazing dream I ever had. For the longest time, I would just float there, and in some moments I would catch myself starting to lose it and descend, and then I would concentrate again and begin to rise.
I remember being close to the ceilings all the time, just hanging there and floating. The feeling of lifting off the ground was thrilling.
Pure elation. I don't know how else to describe it.
Earlier, I had awoken from another dream I had, too, where I saw an actual UFO, it was this giant alien ship from another world, and what an ominous, frightening feeling that was, looking up into the sky and seeing this....we were actually being visited, it felt like the end, or close to it, for the world. The size of this thing was incredible, and yet it was beautiful.
But nothing comes close to the levitation dreams! ;D

Many say that this is a type of dream you'd have if you were actually outside your body. It's neat to think you may have actually been astral traveling!

It's funny you say that, because it made me think about OOBE's, and I have had a couple real ones in my life. It was exactly like my dream of levitation, too. I was truly out of my body, and could see myself down below lying there. Makes me want to explore Astral traveling again, because it is so fascinating to me. The only difference, was that, in my dream of levitation, it was my actual physical body that was suspended in thin air. When I was astral traveling, it was my astral body, and I could see myself lying there below, with my back to the ceiling. Maybe because I am prone to spontaeous astral travel, that might be why I have these dreams of levitation? If only there was a way to actually do this....reminds me of a theory I read on how the Ancient Egyptians built the pyramids, using levitation. That would make the stone blocks weightless. Then, how does one become weightless? Somehow, maybe the other 90% of our unused brains are capable of things we could only dream of. Maybe we are able to levitate things. I saw somewhere that they had accomplished this, I will try to find an url. I think they managed to levitate a frog... I went to google and I found several links there about how they levitated a frog. www.spellmaker.com/frog.htmwww.hfml.ru.nl/levitate.htmlwww.hfml.ru.nl/froglev.htmlThis one looks interesting, how to levitate: www.levitation.org/

Levitation Levitation is a phenomenon of psychokinesis (PK) in which objects, people, and animals are lifted into the air without any visibly physical means and float or fly about. The phenomenon has been said to have occurred in mediumship, shamanism, trances, mystical rapture, and demonic possession. Some cases of levitation appear to be spontaneous, while spiritual or magical adepts are said to be able to control it consciously.
There seems to be several general characteristics about levitation. The duration of the phenomenon may last from a few minutes to hours. Generally it requires a great amount of concentration or being in a state of trance. Physical mediums who have been touched during levitation usually fall back to a surface. Levitations of saints usually are accompanied by a luminous glow around the body.
Numerous incidents of levitation have been recorded in Christianity and Islam. Among the first was Simon Magus in the first century. Other incidents reported among the Roman Catholic saints include the incident of Joseph of Cupertino (1603-1663), the most famous, who is said to have often levitated through the air. It is reported he often gave a little shriek just before levitating, and on one occasion levitated for as long as two hours.
Saint Teresa of Avila was another well known saint who reported levitating. She told of experiencing it during states of rapture. One eyewitness, Sister Anne of the Incarnation, said Saint Teresa levitated a foot and a half off the ground for about a half hour.
Saint Teresa wrote of one of her experiences: "It seemed to me, when I tried to make some resistance, as if a great force beneath my feet lifted me up. I know of nothing with which to compare it; but it was much more violent than other spiritual visitations, and I was therefore as one ground to pieces." (Evelyn Underhill "Mysticism," 1955)
Also Saint Teresa observed these levitations frightened her but there was nothing she could do to control them. She did not become unconscious, but saw herself being lifted up.
And, at the beginning of the twentieth century Gemma Galgani, a Passionist nun, reported levitating during rapture.
Incidents also have been reported in the religions of Hinduism and Buddhism. Milarepa, the great thirteenth century yogi of Tibet, is said to have possessed many occult powers such as the ability to walk, rest and sleep during levitating.
Such feats were said to be duplicated by the Brahmins and fakirs of India. Similar abilities were reportedly shared by the Ninja of Japan.
Within the Eastern traditions levitation is reportedly accomplished through such secret techniques of breathing and visualization. The techniques involve the employment of an universal life force and are called by various names such as: 'prana,''ch'i' and 'ki.'
Louis Jacolliot, a nineteenth-century French judge, traveled the East and wrote of his occult experiences. In "Occult Sciences in India and Among the Ancients" (1884, 1971) he describes the levitation of a fakir:
Taking an ironwood cane which I had brought from Ceylon, he leaned heavily upon it, resting his right hand upon the handle with his eyes fixed upon the ground. He the proceeded to utter the appropriate incantations...[and] rose gradually about two feet from the ground. His legs were crossed beneath him, and he made no change in his position, which was very like that of those bronze statues of Buddha...For more than twenty minutes I tried to see how (he) could thus fly in the face and eyes of all known laws of gravity...the stick gave him no visible support, and there was no apparent contact between that and his body, except through his right hand."
Jacolliot was further told by the Brahmins that the "supreme cause" of all phenomena was the 'agasa' ('akasha'), the vital fluid, "the moving thought of the universal soul, directing all souls," the force that the adepts learn to control.(See Akashic Records)
Throughout history the determining factor for judging whether the practice of levitation is caused by good or evil influenced seems to depend on the one doing the levitating. Simon Magus was judged evil while Saint Teresa was said to do it in states of rapture. During the Middle Ages and Renaissance levitation was thought to be a manifestation of evil. It was said to be an unusual phenomena generated by witchcraft, fairies, ghosts, or demons.
Even to the present levitation is often thought to be involved in cases of demonic possession. Many times beds, tables, chairs and other objects have been witnessed flying up into the air apparently by themselves. They frequently aimed themselves at the exorcist or his assistants.
In 1906 Clara Germana Cele, a sixteen year-old school girl from South Africa, was said to be demonic possessed. She raised up five feet in the air, sometimes vertically and sometimes horizontally. When sprinkled with holy water she came out of these states of possession. This was taken as proof of demonic possession.
Likewise, incidents of poltergeists and haunting often involve the levitation of objects.
Some physical mediums claimed to have experienced levitations. The most famous is Daniel Douglas Home, who reportedly did it over a forty-year period. In 1868 he was witnessed levitating out of a third-story window, and he floated back into the building through another window. When levitating Home was not always in a trance, but conscious and later described his feelings during the experiences.
Once he described "an electrical fulness (sic)" sensation in his feet. His arms became rigid and were drawn over his head, as though he was grasping an unseen power which was lifting him. He also levitated furniture and other objects.
The Catholic Church excommunicated Home as a sorcerer. Although he was never discovered to be a fraud like other mediums who used wires and other contraptions to levitate objects.
Italian medium Amedee Zuccarini was photographed levitating with his feet twenty feet off of a table.
Controlled experiments involving levitation are rare. During the 1960s and 1970s researchers reported some success in levitating tables under controlled conditions. The Soviet PK medium Nina Kulagina has been photographed levitating a small object between her hands.
Skeptics of levitation have came up with several theories as to its cause including hallucination, hypnosis, or fraud. These theories are not applicable to all incidents, however. The most likely and acceptable explanation is the Eastern theory of an existence of a force (simply, an universal force) which belongs to another, nonmaterial reality, and manifests itself in the material world.
The technique of "yogic flying" which consists of low hops while seated in the lotus meditating position has been achieved by advanced practitioners of Transcendental Meditation (TM). This has received worldwide publicity. The technique is claimed to be accomplished by maximizing coherence (orderliness) in brain-wave activity, which enables the brain to tap into the "unified field" of cosmic energy. However, skeptic say yogic flying is accomplished through muscular action. A.G.H.

As regards to Chi energy, a thought crossed my mind ....maybe this is the same principle that evengelists use to affect their congregation. Like when they get up to the stage and the preacher touches their head and they fall down? Maybe this is the same energy that Chi uses, to knock people over? Just a thought....

Shewolfen, that's vivid! I only had it happen a couple of times, and not for some time now. But I remember that I would be out over the street hovering about 9-15 feet from the road at around the early AM. I would fly like a Superman or sort of like Neo in the MATRIX, but when I would try and control it more like trying to shoot upward or go fast it would fail, just sort of poop-out and I would have to let go and just try and hover, I was afraid of colliding with a semi tuck or something. It was so real though... so real! All that other stuff there isn't part of this and is total fraud, but I can see something maybe to with the chi though, but I don't quite know how. >< Tomasina ChicaWolverina! Well, last night it happened again. I had a levitation dream....been having them since I was a little girl. This one went on and on too...seemed to last a very long time, with all kinds of things happening. I can barely describe the feeling of lifting up, and remaining suspended in the air....and floating up and up....using nothing but my mind and concentration.

This has been a recurring dream for me mostly in my adult life. I know I am dreaming and remember that I can fly and move objects in the dream. It seems very real. I generally do better inside a large building flying and can ascend and descend. Making stuff fly around usually is outdoors and is a less frequent dream. The objects are mudane things like tools and coffee cups, stuff laying in the back of a truck.
I have also had dreams that are more like being an orb or something that seem to be true OBE events. There are very distinct differences in this type of experience if you can experience this enough to get a feel for it.
Great topic

Does anyone here remember when I posted that I had had a dream where I was squishing a piece of lead out of my baby finger?
Well, last night I had another such dream....that I was pulling this long metal needle out of my jaw, through my mouth.
I remember thinking, "oh shit! WTF is this?" and I pulled slowly....and it finally came out. It was a really long needle.
Anyone have any ideas as to why I keep having these dreams where I am extracting metal out of my body?

Leaving the body at night is the most common experience that people have. Flying dreams are generally connected to a conscious awareness of this experience. 2 out of 3 people have an obe, mostly during sleep at least once in their life. I have had at least 2 dreams and my mentor has shown up in the dream, disguised as an old white haired lady. She had no relationship in the dream and did not fit the context at all. Just standing there observing me and my dream. One time I actually saw her face and she was laughing and she said in the dream, "Finally". It is all about being slightly conscious, as in a lucid dream so one can bring the information back upon awaking. And it is true that women have more neural connections between the hemispheres, they are lighter sleepers and therefore experience more psychic phenomena than males.

I contemplated what the dream might mean, and I settled on that I think the dreams mean I have toxic metal in my body, especially my mercury fillings - that I want out of me.
I broke a thermometer when I was about five, and played with the mercury with my fingers, and was amazed at the texture of it....I had no ideas of the dangers.
So, I really believe my subconscious is telling me I need to detox from the heavy metals I have in my system. Either by Chelation therapy or whatever.

Women have better ability to shed toxic metals than men. Specific research has shown that it is testosterone related. Testosterone interferes with the bodies ability to pass the heavy metals out through the hair and nails. This is why mercury related vaccines hit males so much harder as evidenced by autism in males and low incidences with females who have received the same regimen of vaccines. This is NOT speculation.
P.S.-Stay away from the coiled mercury laden lighting that will be mandated soon. I am already hearing horror stories about the health effect of these bulbs. They are considered to be very dirty electricity. Headaches, mercury leakage, lead , skin rashes and general chronic mental shifts in personality. I will use oil lamps or led lighting before I use these lights. I wont have one in my home.

Mercury laden lighting? I've never heard of it before. Why do we even mess with these types of hazardous substances, even put them in fillings, vaccines and other things.....why oh why do we do these things to ourselves. Best to stay informed. I will keep my eye out for these bulbs, and will never buy them. Thanks for the heads-up.

www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=55213Consumers in dark over risks of new light bulbs Push for energy-saving fluorescents ignores mercury disposal hazards -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted: April 16, 2007 1:00 am Eastern By Joseph Farah © 2009 WorldNetDaily.com Brandy Bridges of Prospect, Maine, shows a newspaper insert promoting the type of CFL (compact fluorescent lamp) bulbs she says have caused elevated levels of mercury in her home upon breaking (photo courtesy: Ellison American) WASHINGTON – Brandy Bridges heard the claims of government officials, environmentalists and retailers like Wal-Mart all pushing the idea of replacing incandescent light bulbs with energy-saving and money-saving compact fluorescent lamps. So, last month, the Prospect, Maine, resident went out and bought two dozen CFLs and began installing them in her home. One broke. A month later, her daughter's bedroom remains sealed off with plastic like the site of a hazardous materials accident, while Bridges works on a way to pay off a $2,000 estimate by a company specializing in environmentally sound cleanups of the mercury inside the bulb. With everyone from Al Gore to Wal-Mart to the Environmental Protection Agency promoting CFLs as the greatest thing since, well, the light bulb, consumers have been left in the dark about a problem they will all face eventually – how to get rid of the darn things when they burn out or, worse yet, break. CFLs are all the rage. They are the spirally shaped, long-lasting bulbs everyone is being urged, cajoled and guilt-tripped into purchasing to replace Thomas Edison's incandescents, which are being compared to sports utility vehicles for their impracticality and energy inefficiency. However, there is no problem disposing of incandescents when their life is over. You can throw them in the trash can and they won't hurt the garbage collector. They won't leech deadly compounds into the air or water. They won't kill people working in the landfills. The same cannot be said about the mercury-containing CFLs. They bear disposal warnings on the packaging. But with limited recycling prospects and the problems experienced by Brandy Bridges sure to be repeated millions of times, some think government, the green community and industry are putting the cart before the horse marketing the new technology so ferociously. Consider her plight. When the bulb she was installing in a ceiling fixture of her 7-year-old daughter's bedroom crashed to the floor and broke into the shag carpet, she wasn't sure what to do. Knowing about the danger of mercury, she called Home Depot, the retail outlet that sold her the bulbs. According to the Ellison American, the store warned her not to vacuum the carpet and directed her to call the poison control hotline in Prospect, Maine. Poison control staffers suggested she call the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the Maine Department of Environmental Protection. The latter sent over a specialist to test the air in her house for mercury levels. While the rest of the house was clear, the area of the accident was contaminated above the level considered safe. The specialist warned Bridges not to clean up the bulb and mercury powder by herself – recommending a local environmental cleanup firm. That company estimated the cleanup cost, conservatively, at $2,000. And, no, her homeowners insurance won't cover the damage. Since she could not afford the cleanup, Bridges has been forced to seal off her daughter's bedroom with plastic to avoid any dust blowing around. Not even the family pets are permitted in to the bedroom. Her daughter is forced to sleep downstairs in an overcrowded household. She has continued to call public officials for help – her two U.S. senators included. So far, no one is beating down Bridges' door to help – not even Al Gore, whose Academy Award-winning movie, "An Inconvenient Truth," urges everyone to change to CFLs to save the planet from global warming.
