Dreamwalking
Dreamwalking a form of psychic projection where you leave the barriers of what you create inside your mind and travel beyond them while you are asleep. To do this, you must be able to lucid dream at will.
Where you go is only limited only by your own imagination. Just as easily as you were able to form your dreams, you can travel astrally through the earthbound planes of existance and even into the dreams of other sleepers. A thought, and you are there. Instantly.
Visiting Someone Elses Dream
This is easier if you have arranged a meeting with the person ahead of time because you can agree on a place to "meet up."

For surprise visits, I like envisioning the "Dream Bridge" where I picture myself on one side, and the dreamer I wish to visit on the other. If the person doesn't form on the other side of the bridge; he is usually either

*Not asleep

*Not in REM sleep where dreaming occurs

*Has some serious dreaming of his own to do

Once the person forms on the other side, begin to walk across the bridge, slowly toward them. When you both meet in the middle, look to see if the person sees you. If they smile and allow you to take their hand; you will be a welcome participant in the dream. If they ignore you, I wouldn't recommend going in under ANY circumstances.

Going into another person's dream, without permission is likened to mind rape. While you can manipulate another's dreams as easily as you can in your own lucid dreams, it is important to remember that you are not the one ultimately in charge in another persons dream. Using Dreamwalking as a weapon on another dreamer puts you at an EXTREME disadvantage and is ill-advised.
The difference between Dreamwalkers and Astral Travelers is that Dreamwalkers take a big shortcut into the astral realms. They are asleep. Because of this, Dreamwalkers don't snap back to conciousness immediately when threatened on the astral.

Typically, when an inexperienced Dreamwalker is threatened, they will invariably fall deeper into sleep and begin to dream on a more subconcious level. Regaining control after this happens is unlikely without going through the relaxation process all over again.

While lucid dreaming is totally safe because you are inside your own mind, Dreamwalkers stray outside and into the fast lane. You could encounter others like you -- or others, not so like you. Not everyone you meet will be friendly.

In a DreamWalk you are projecting yourself psychically. True astral travellers have the full-blown astral vehical with them that they can pull more energy through on an "as needed" basis. DreamWalker's have only what they walk in with.

When you open your mind, you open yourself up to all sorts of nasty business. My best advice to you is... if confronted with a hostile entity while you are on a DreamWalk...
Leave!
