h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Ive read quite a bit about the subject of astral projection and agree its tuff to realize its a dream and you can do what you want. On one ocassion I was doing the long floating strides then stopped, I consciencely tried to continue by leaping forward and landed on my butt. recently I tried to approach a woman and did so, then we got busy a bit. that was pretty nice and didnt require a lot of will, I just did it like it was natural.

I've never done *that* in a flying dream! I used to have trouble talking, my voice would just come out as a harsh croak - then I realised I should *not* try to talk - just 'think' at the people I met.
I remember one more than a year ago, where I met two women in New York, and was trying to convince them it was real - I even gave them a clue to remember the next day, and asked them to consult each other in RL, and to determine that they had both met me and each other in their dream! I don't know if they did, I never saw them again.
One time, I decided to find someone, and went to Queensland (Oz) where he was living. This was about 1995. I found myself at the beach resort where he was, only to be told that I had overshot by 100 years, it was 2095 and he wasn't there.
Thing is - *are* these things real? It took me years to think they might be - now I wonder...
