Can astral projection and lucid dreaming be closely related to psychedelic trips?

[Brandon L]

     I never had experience with psychedelics but I have had many experiences with lucid dreaming and astral projection; my question is that can lucid dreaming and astral projection be forms of psychedelic trips?

     Many people who have taken Ayahuasca/dmt reported similar situations where they were out of their body in another dimension, can this also just be achieved through astral projecting and lucid dreaming?

     I don't have psychedelics, but I want to achieve mystical experiences without them and I'm wondering if lucid dreaming and astral projection is the go to...

Yes, you can take psychedelics in dreams to have higher consciousness experiences. But you need to master lucid dreaming for the experience to be stable, clear, and remembered. Astral projection is the same. If you travel to higher dimensions, you will have higher consciousness experiences. But reaching higher dimensions requires a lot of skills and mastery in Astral Projection.

Lucid dreaming sure can give you some crazy mystical experiences. I fell into the deepest trance of my life in a dream, but didn't quite grasp existential truths like on mushrooms. I see lucid dreams as very powerful tools for shadow work and spirituality.
