ive started with many astral and psionics sort of work to move myself to another plane or place mentally but ive found that just as i sort of leave my body become disengaged etc i hear voices screaming in my head is this something i need to worry about or is it my technique, i have read that some witches etc do try to stop people from projecting is this is im not sure.

any advice is welcome:D

This could be several things that are causing these interruptions and doesn't mean it really IS witches as you say. Maybe look into it more and if you feel uncomfortable with the voices try shielding or something like that to protect yourself better if you don't already have a shield up as it is, if so, strengthen it if you want to.

Maybe this is just normal sometimes, these voices as I can think of several causes on the top of my head. One is just spirits that were around when you did that maybe? Who knows...

Those voices are one of your body's safeguard against projecting. It's purpose is to stop you from completing it. Seems to have worked. Anyway, just ignore them. You may also feel hands pulling at you, ignore that too. It's nothing more than your brains safeguards. Also, if there is something there that trys to scare you when you get out do not worry about it. Nothing in the astral can hurt you. Most of the times the dweller will be horrifying in appearance but will rarely try to attack you(they are too weak and take on this appearance because they feel threatened by you and want to scare you away). Think of the butterflies that can make themselves look like snakes.

Anyways good luck with it and enjoy it.

Hello,

I have experienced something like this. I haven't gotten out on purpose yet, but I'm getting close. I did have some spontaneous OOBE's when I was in my late teens. Since I know it's possible, I'm now (many years later) trying to make it a skill and be able to get Astral consciously and at will.

I hear all kinds of crazy things once I start to feel vibrations and the heaviness. I almost always hear the sound of a crowd, like a party in the next room--no matter where I have the experience. And whispering, like little girls giggling and trying to mask what they're saying. Sometimes I hear various voices, usually saying things I can't hear clearly, or can't understand. Once, recently, I heard a steam locomotive.

Unless the screaming is painful, or particularly disturbing, I would try to ignore it, or not let it bother you, and remain relaxed. A couple of my friends have also mentioned voices and different sounds, and I've seen it mentioned on a couple Astral Projection websites, so I don't think this is unusual.

Best wishes on future success.

This is good advice. I hear stuff (hypnagogic ?) all the time when I start to fall asleep, but when I project it is different, much more intense and loud, but a lot like Gizank just stated (and I also had spontaneous OBE's when a kid). The auditory hallucinations are scary sometimes.



But, If you start believing that these screams signal something bad, you will give way to fear and not be able to enjoy astral projection, and may even become afraid of it. I would listen to Viper555 and donâ??t get scared or even annoyed...just ignore it. It is supposed to go away eventually. Also, if you still want to find out more, Robert Bruce has written some good stuff on this subject, so you may want to check it out.



Also, I'd like to know your progress, how long it takes after ignoring the screams for them to go away, etc...

You just have to ignore it really. I mean to me "The Sound" sounds like a car crash inside my head. Then there is nothing, just really nice silence.

I don't think the sound can really bother you. However, if you constantly hear it as in more than just a few seconds you might be caught between leaving your body and entering the astral, which really really sucks.
