The Soul Body or Light Body becomes awake during dream-time. This phenomenon causes a wide range of responses from various groups - for a secret phenomenon that supposedly does not or should not exist almost all powerful groups have something to say about it. Science often denies astral travel outright where as several religions call astral travel evil. On the other hand some religions such as Gnosticism are more lenient and go as far as encouraging astral traveling as a means of spiritual progression.

Regardless of what personal beliefs are out there it is self-evident that the more mystical experiences a person has the more this indicates towards that person being more sensitive to life and less dependant on societal structures for answers.

There are several reports of people that have had such projections who report back information about the outside world that could not have been known otherwise. The person who has a projection of consciousness into one of their Light Bodies is able to perceive the backing fabric of the world in front of most people that is deemed real. This type of projection is also often termed as projecting into the Inner Realms or Lucid Dreaming. Lucid dreaming is a state where a person is dreaming but the dream is as real or more real than life itself.

If the 4th dimension is time then the 5th dimension of the astral can be said to be related to the realm of emotion. The 5th dimension of emotion is not based on linear time - it is based on emotional time. The emotional and astral correlation can be seen through an empirical observation of different bands of social experience. This is most exemplified in instances of trauma. Besides trauma such correlations are also evident in the experience of parallel universes that bring creative inspiration or even alternate levels of consciousness. Other examples that come to mind are inspired works of art, experiences of alternative realities, and consciousness shifts.

The projection of consciousness into the astral worlds is possible when consciousness itself has been expanded. Remote viewing or remote observation can be used to observe a particular area that is not in the direct perceivable range of regular sight. Quantum mechanics has provided us the insight that particles can communicate irrespective of their distance apart. It could be that all matter exists and functions in the same frame of existence and is not separated with a blank space as traditional scientific theories have suggested in the past. This allows for the entertainment of notions such as ESP of areas not in the range of regular sight or hearing. Once the barriers to perception are removed consciousness can travel to whichever perspective (or place) is desired.

Just as our expanded awareness in logic or interpersonal relations or mathematics can evolve it can also expand in a magnitude of other directions that our social structures have yet to endorse. Some of those include meaningful communication without using words. Others include feeling another persons emotions or knowing their thoughts or even transferring a solid idea from one mind to another. There exist limitless possibilities to actualize. The bottom line is that there is high aggregated uncultivated potential for a better actualized life than is being actualized in our current world in the current state of events at the present time.

Jungian inquirers often regard Dreamscapes or astral-scapes as manifestations of the unconscious mind. The world of metaphor of imagination is just a concept before we push it into a method and once a good method is developed it becomes an experience of existence. This is the difference between a dream that does not have meaning - and a dream that acquires meaning through consciousness and careful self-examination.

Manifestation depends upon personal beliefs. For one person experiencing a new state of being might mean travel to another dimension - for another the word dimension might have an entirely different meaning. It does not matter what that is in the end because we are exploring new methods of consciousness which lead to infinite possibilities - dreams become realities. Don't give power to the outer world. Give power to the inner world which acts as the fuel that transforms the outer world. The alchemist of the soul shapes their mind to hear and see anew. Not in the old polluted mode of the senses - but to embrace the clear sight of the soul and to let it shine through. This inner voice touches and ensouls all it encounters.
