From lucid dreaming site:

Inquiry by Wasser:

can someone tell me if he knows something about water in dreams...

i never "died" in my dreams - so i had to wake up...

but logically i should have done so..

i drowned a few times and when i had to breathe i could do so under water...

now i wanted to ask if this only happened to me or do u just cannot die under water? (in dreams)

maybe this has to do with my drowning experience as a child but even there when i knew nothing about death and what it means, i was instantly in my soul form as i breathed water..

MiBeloved's Response:

The astral body has nothing to do with drowning. That is a feature of the physical form. The flaw however in the astral form is that it assumes the attitude and limitations of the physical form, and carries those impressions over into the astral level. Thus fears from the physical side which are real on the physical plane may be carried over in the mind, in conceptions to the astral side and be imagined there even though in fact those aspects are not possible in the astral plane.

You might understand this from the experience of going to see scary movies. While viewing those clips, the mind might experience fear and even trauma even though in fact, the images on the screen cannot physically harm the physical body.

The problem therefore is to remove the astral body's tendency to carry over impressions of life on this side of existence into the astral plane and for it to be open-minded to what is possible there. For this you may have to practice meditation.

Sometimes in an astral experience, one finds oneself in another country, and then one feels that one might be late for work, so one hurries to catch a flight at the airport and then one finds oneself back in a room at home waking up. So in that case again the astral body which can travel at the speed of light tried to act as if it was as limited as the physical body. These experiences can give you some understanding of the different realities in different dimensions.
