After projection is accomplished however there is a marked decline of chemical activity and hormone action, a drop in temperature, sometimes very low, and a drop in blood pressure. There are changes also in the eye mechanisms. The rapid eyes movements noted in the dream state by investigators, cease entirely.

The eyes muscles are not used, the normal muscular activity that usually occurs in sleep vanishes. The physical body is in a deep trance state. The trance may be masked also by sleep, if the projection occurs from a dream state. According to the intensity of the projection and according to the systems visited, the physical body becomes more or less rigid when consciousness returns to it.

A small snack before bed is a good one you see from this standpoint. Alcohol is of some benefit, though not to any great degree. Excellent results can be achieved in dream-based projections during the day, in a nap. When these are good they will perhaps be the best of any dream-based projections.

They are also exceedingly safe. The body itself is well stocked, so to speak, and it is possible to maintain projections for a longer period than usual in night projections. I am speaking now only of dream-based projections.
