Re: Recurring dreams I remember having as a child.
I had a couple of similar experiences as a child. Here's my take:
As a child I'd have these very vivid, realistic dreams that I didn't know what to make of.
With my current knowledge of astral projection and lucid dreaming I can make the assumption that it was likely one of the two.
Technically, it's considered an OBE if you remember the exit, however, if it's occurring in the real time zone, I generally consider it an OBE/ etheric projection. Really, I don't think it matters, they're pretty much the same thing in many respects.
The experiences/dreams consisted of being able to hear the sound of my heart beating in great detail, inside my ears, it wasn't a telepathic sound coming from nowhere
By detail I mean I could hear the blood swishing and sloshing to the beat of my heart.
I used to have this experience often and it bugged me as a child. I realise now that it created focus on the heart chakra that led to projections. If you try projecting consciously by focussing on the heart, you might see what I mean.
The dreams setting was always my old house I use to live in, sometimes it was accurately represented, sometimes things were shifted around.
Your childhood house as a dream setting is very common indeed, as are reality fluctuations.
In the experience I would often be at the top, or middle of the stairs, leading to the basement.
Going into the basement in a dream is going deep into the subconscious where we often push those things we're not comfortable dealing with in waking reality.
I remember I could feel something trying to pull me down into the darkness of the basement, and the stronger the pull got the louder the swishing and sloshing got.
As a child I interpreted this as some type of boogie man or monster.
It was very likely a thoughtform arising out of some type of anxiety or fear.
I also had a couple very realistic paranormal experiences in that house in which I was laying in my bed and it would start shaking back and fourth violently.
I had this shaking of the bed happen once In the house I currently live in, but It hasn't happened for many years
This happened to me quite often as a child, as it did my brother and sister. I believe now we were experiencing vibrations associated with conscious projection, however, there was also a bit of paranormal activity in the house in which I grew up, so it may have been something else.
Also, currently I have been having recurring dreams that take place in my highschool or elementary school I attended. They have been on-off randomly for I'd say over a year now.
School is a common setting. There's a lot of planning and deciding and understanding taking place while we dream. Our minds translate these into images we can understand. Since school is where we learnt many lessons/had things explained it is a common dream setting.
