Did Muhammad literally fly to heaven on a winged horse? Or was it a visionary experience? Or a lucid

Asked: Did Muhammad literally fly to heaven on a winged horse? Or was it a visionary experience? Or a lucid

I'm intrigued by this article — http://heresycorner.blogspot.com/2013/04 — and by some of the comments.

As I understand it, according to the Koran and Hadiths, in Muhammad's "Night Journey" he was taken at night to Jerusalem and thence on a tour of the heavens in the company of the Archangel Gabriel.In the course of the journey, the prophet had meetings with Biblical characters including Moses and John the Baptist, and conversed with Allah.

My question is: how do Muslims interpret the Night Journey?Of course, different people might have different interpretations.Please select one of the following options:

A) Muhammad literally flew to heaven on a winged horse. That is, in his physical body, Muhammad rode a physical winged horse, from Mecca to Jerusalem, and thence to heaven, where he met and conversed with physical dead prophets.

B) Muhammad had a visionary experience; i.e., he was vouchsafed a vision of heaven, a vision that was more real than an ordinary dream, in the sense that the vision that came from Allah and may therefore be described as being "real". But he did not literally fly to heaven on a winged horse.

C) Muhammad had a lucid dream, or similar experience in a state midway between sleep and wakefulness, which did not come from Allah.

D) None of the above.(Please elaborate.)

No abusive comments, please.

Did I astral project?

Asked: Did I astral project?

I don't usually believe in this stuff but… I have some things in my head I need to dump.
The only times I "project" is during the day, its only been about twice.
Basically when I "project" I'm in a copy of the real world, it can be altered or morphed, but everything is always dark and grey.

The first time around, I flew around my house altered a bit, and stood by my dads doorway and peered in and saw him sleeping. Then the awful parts happened. I struggled to wake up, and I only ended "waking up" to find out I was still "dreaming" Between everything the world was grey and creepy things appeared like numerous spiders in the bed and menacing cartoon like faces on the wall. One part, everything was a pinkish red tint, and I fell off the bed and crawled towards the door begging for help to wake me up, because I felt as if my body was being controlled by something. Everything felt so real. When I woke up from the dream, I told my dad about the dream and he says he has them too, but someone is watching him while he lays in bed from the doorway (Note: I was watching my dad sleep, while I was standing in the doorway in the dark and grey like dream state.

Second time happened about 20 minutes ago while I was taking a nap. This time I was constantly being shifted between a dream like state and an "astral" (dark and grey) state, only waking up once in the middle of it. The dream state was some just weird or slightly disturbing images the first time around. Then i woke up in an unfamiliar place on what seemed like a couch in the "astral" state. Then i'd simply be in the parts like in the first time where I struggled to wake up or get out of bed. I usually call the dream state, the dream state, because it has color to it. Anyway, In the dream state I was messaging a friend telling themto tell my other friend I'm in mid "Astral Projection" and I asked for help for some reason, even though I knew I had to fight out of this my self. (I was talking to my other friend JUST today about the first "dream") I got back to the Astral state and I struggled out of bed, failed, and did the only thing left, I'd say something as loud as I could which usually got me awake. This time I successfully woke up, feeling VERY drained. This dream only lasted an hour.

I apologize for the scatterbrained-ness.

Lucid Dreaming questions?

Asked: Lucid Dreaming questions?

My friend told me about Lucid dreaming, and now I kinda wanna try it. I've done some research on it and I have some questions about a couple things.

1) Is it dangerous? Like, could it make you not be able to breathe or paralyze you permanently? I've heard of "sleep paralyze" and from what I understand its just when your body relaxes when it sleeps.

2) When your Lucid Dreaming are you fully asleep? or is your body only half asleep from lack of your brain relaxing? Or is your brain relaxing anyway?

3) Once you begin Lucid Dreaming are you stuck sleeping like that forever? Like can you never just lay down and sleep again normally or will you always have to lucid dream?

4) What do people mean when they say you can't wake up during a lucid dream? What if it was a scary dream and I couldn't wake up? I don't want that… So can you wake up?

5) what is it like? Is it easy? Hard? Is it scary? Because from the horror stories I've read it scares me… Is it cool or WHAT? I just wanna know.

Please answer soon! AND PLEASE ANSWER AS SIMPLY YET UNDERSTANDABLE AS POSSIBLE!
Thanks in advance, a curious 13-year-old

Tips on Astral Projection?

Asked: Tips on Astral Projection?

I have been experimenting with this for some time, now. The first time, I immediately felt something. It was what was called the vibrational stage. That's when I knew there was definitely something to this. Ever since I have stopped having vibrations but never really get past a superficial meditation-like stage. At times I will start to feel something starting and then I pull back. I believe I struggle a great deal with concentration (I have trouble calming/relaxing/turning my brain off) and somewhat with the visualizations.

Now, one time, I woke up in the middle of the night, and as I started to fall back asleep, I believe I began to separate. I have trouble describing the feeling, but it was like I was almost formless and floating right above my own head (I felt like I was in the shape of a ball). I also heard very loud rushing/ringing. I began to get claustrophobic because I tried to move my hand and I couldn't, and then I remembered that you could get back to your physical body with only a thought and did so. When I got back, I felt like a plop on my bed. I laid there for a few seconds, and then the whole thing repeated itself (except this time I fell asleep until morning).

How can I get back to that state and what are some tips for keeping fear in check?

I went over to my neighbors house and began to kiss her but that's when I woke up, I didn't feel like I was about to wake up but that just triggered it. I feel back asleep immediately after and found myself dreaming again, only this time I gradually found myself aware that I was waking up. Any tips for the first scenario?

Recurring Dream about buying/visiting a haunted house?

Asked: Recurring Dream about buying/visiting a haunted house?

So almost every night for the past 9 months or so I've been having very long and detailed dreams (all my dreams are very long and detailed) about haunted houses, they are never houses I've visited in real life, however most of the time in the dream I feel like I've been to the house before, sometimes it's the same house but changed in some way, and other times it's a new house all together, but most of the time it's a house I'm looking at buying or just did buy in the dream.

Now here is the interesting part, or at least the part that makes it hard to find any information by searching the internet: Very rarely in my dreams is the haunting a negative thing, every once in awhile I'll get creeped out a little, but most of the time in the dream I'm loving the experience, and I can even communicate with the spirits and have them do things for me, such as I can ask them to open and close doors or turn lights off and on and they will do it for me without question. However even though the whole house is normally haunted, and most of it seems very friendly, there is almost always a certain part of the house that I just know I need to stay away from, either a basement, or an attic, or just a back bedroom, somewhere that I always just "know" that the bad spirits are, that can hurt people,but as long as I'm staying clear of that area, all is good.

Normally I don't think much about my dreams, I have always been a lucid dreamer, and my dreams have always been super detailed, to the point when I wake up I often have a hard time figuring out if what I'm remembering was a dream or something that I really did the day before. But this dream, or type of dream has been happening so often, I feel like I shouldn't ignore it. I can remember having very similar dreams every once in awhile from the time I was 3 or 4 on (I'm 28 now), but lately it's been almost every night. I do think about visiting a haunted house sometimes, and I also think about buying a house sometimes, but neither one often enough to cause nightly dreams on the subjects.

Any help would be amazing, all I can find online is that haunted houses mean unresolved issues, but I really don't feel that is the case here. It seems most of the haunted house dreams it's talking about are ones that cause fears, where as mine, rather than fear, cause me to feel closer to the spiritual world, in a way that I can only dream of (no pun intended).

Did i have a lucid dream/Sleep paralysis?

Asked: Did i have a lucid dream/Sleep paralysis?

When i was younger i use to have dreams where at some point, a guy would appear in the corner of my eye (he was always the same, and could be as close as in the same room or on the other side of the street) and he would sprint towards me. Now, let me explain why i am not sure if it was a lucid dream or not. in these dreams i was not aware that i was asleep (basically just a normal dream), but when he appeared i was obviously fully aware that i was dreaming. When he appeared, i would just drop to the floor like a ton of bricks and couldn't move or speak, when he reached me he would just stand over me and stare at me until i woke up (all this time i would have a loud buzzing/screeching sound in my head). This would happen every time i had a dream, no matter what, and i would just falland be unable to move and have a feeling of pressure on my chest. That's why im so confused, i had all the symptoms of sleep paralysis but it was mid-dream, which i thought couldnt happen. And i was still in the dream, not in my room. maybe it was just a recurring nightmare, i don't know. if you could shed any light on this for me then please do icon smile Did i have a lucid dream/Sleep paralysis?

I had my first lucid dream but couldn’t do anything?

Asked: I had my first lucid dream but couldn’t do anything?

Iwas dreaming I was in a hospital but suddenly the exits in the hospital were starting to change and I realized I was dreaming. I tried to fly but I couldnt. I was trapped inside the hospital. There were bloody dead bodies and I just started panicking. I tried to shoot one of the doctors with my fingers (super powers) I heard the gun shot but when I looked back he was still alive. Then I just said I want to wake up and headed for a window to jump out but before I got to the window I woke up.

Why couldn't I fly or change the scenery? I felt like I was lucid but still no control.

Once I get interested in something, I learn just about as much as I can on the subject and get really into it.Some things I'm really interested in are Astronomy, Psychology, The Military, Astral Projection, Lucid Dreaming, and chakra opening. Please don't suggest I learn an instrument, I've tried and can never really get interested.

Did I experience atral projection?

Asked: Did I experience atral projection?

A few weeks ago I had something strange happen to me in my sleep. I think it might have been shortly after I fell asleep, I'm not too sure. But I woke up, in my dream? And I was still in my bed, where I had fallen asleep, and everything looked the same as it should. My room was dark and I began to feel like I was floating. This was an awkward and uncomfortable feeling for me so I tried my hardest to move but I felt very weak and it was difficult to move to the other side of the room, I just seemed to keep tumbling/spinning in circles the more I tried to move. I was floating right beside my bed, only I don't recall actually having a body, it was like just my spirit was there, on it's own. I began to feel very afraid and like I was in danger, I tried calling out to my mother as I slowly moved toward my door but no sound could really come out of my mouth. I was very aware that I was dreaming, but I was extremely conscious, I began to feel so uncomfortable I tried to make myself wake up which was surprisingly difficult to do. But I did wake up eventually and my room looked exactly the same as in my dream. (same lighting, etc)
Was this astral projection or just lucid dreaming?

Why can’t I fly in lucid dreams?

Asked: Why can’t I fly in lucid dreams?

I've had atleast 15 in the two months I've known about them.. I've only been able to fly in one. And I can't spawn people / change people into objects. I know you have to EXPECT it will happen and I always do. When I try to fly I say "I can fly. It's possible and it's easy." I start to run then jump, and fall right back down. Also, when I try to spawn people, I close my eyes and say "When I open my eyes they'll be in front of me." They never are. Please explain what I'm doing wrong????

Why do i keep dreaming this?

Asked: Why do i keep dreaming this?

I usually wake up to my alarm at 7 in the morning, which is the most difficult thing for me. And then i take a shower, get ready for school and have a breakfast etc. and then at some point i wake up again and realize the whole thing was a dream and i have to do these things again. When i "really" wake up, its usually 10-20 past 7. So I guess i probably "unconsciously" wake up when alarm goes off thinking "ugh i have to get ready for school." and then fall back to sleep and dream of gettin ready. This happens at least 3 times a week.

I've been having dreams almost every single night for the past 2 years and when i wake up i remember them in great details. And i found out that if i imagine stuff right before i fall asleep, it somehow becomes a dream. and i can even re-dream like when i wake up from a dream, but want to keep having the dream then i just close my eyes and go back to it. But somehow i cannot control dreams nor do i realize that im dreaming. I lucid dreamed only once in my life. anyway has this ever happened to you? i keep having the dream in the morning and it makes me really tired and frustrated

I think I nearly astral projected?

Asked: I think I nearly astral projected?

I was listening to a guided astral projection (I've tried this a few times) and during it my body started getting very warm and numb. I then started feeling like I was flipping backwards (like when you skydive and it felt so real) and at the same time seeing these tunnels of light through my eyes. Was I getting close to a obe? Also when your doing your visualisations I tend to see myself in 3rd person, I find it easier then as if I am seeing things through my eyes, can this work?
