a dream and said... There are multitudes of such passages. I would just leave it at that, but for the fact that my students and I already use techniques for leaving the body upon falling asleep and awakening, as well as becoming conscious while dreaming. (Al Magico) ...This night it finally happened consciously!... (Amigo) ...I was awakening at night in my bedroom. It was dark. I tried to turn on the lights, but the light-switch wasn’t in its usual place, and I realized that I was dreaming. It was so dark that I started to get really scared... (Azimut) I was unable to do astral projection for over a year, until I started doing indirect techniques more often and more intensely. It happened this morning at 9 AM... But that’s just the beginning. Most interestingly, I have found at least four clear descriptions of spontaneous exits from the body upon falling asleep or waking up in the Bible. Meanwhile, there are clearly more of them, but the rest are only described in brief and are thus less obvious examples. The four passages we will look at simply contain the most detail, and everything adds up in them. (First Book of Kings, Chapter 19) 4 But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I [am] not better than my fathers. 5 And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise [and] eat. 6 And he looked, and, behold, [there was] a cake baken on the coals, and a cruse of water at his head. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again.
