“Okay Benji, it’s been an interesting few months but I’m glad it’s about to be over. One more chapter in my life to put behind me.” I whispered in my Shiba pup’s ear and gave him a spiteful little kiss on the head before setting him down in the cage next to me. Normally it would be silly to talk to a dog, but Benji wasn’t like other dogs - he could really understand me. I know that probably sounds silly but it was true, and he was quite the evil little canine; I had actually made that happen, and now I was trying to end this whole ordeal that made Benji special in the first place.
I sat in the lotus position on my yoga mat next to Benji, collecting my thoughts to enter the astral plane again for hopefully the last time. For this new technique to work, my mind would have to be completely clear. Normal daily stressors popped into my mind and disappeared. Then the bigger stressors began to appear, the events that led me to this situation in the first place. My mind went back to a couple months ago when I first started experimenting with astral projection. I had just found a forum thread detailing the techniques and I was surprised how quickly I picked it up. It was great at first, my astral form allowed me to float around without a care in the world and I felt I was discovering new meaning in life.
Those weren’t the origin of my stressors though; no, those came when Benji came into my life a few weeks later. I had the bright idea of trying to communicate with the puppy in the astral plane to help train him. Of course, he wouldn’t be able to see me in my astral form so I had to get him to project somehow. Eventually, I was able to grab a hold of his astral form and pull it from his little dog body. Still, he wasn’t able to communicate with me. He was still a dog, even in an astral form. That’s when I made my first big mistake, I thought placing his astral form in my body would let him learn to communicate with me, learning from my body’s innate knowledge. The technique worked! I let Benji walk around confused in my pretty human female body for a while until suddenly he started talking! He didn’t say anything intelligible, just random words jumbled together but he was definitely learning from my human brain!
The problem began when I tried to repossess my own body. I first just tried to drift back into my body but found myself just bouncing off with Benji’s essence still inside. Eventually I had to forcibly rip him from my vessel and push him back into his own Shiba body. This was clearly not a very smooth process, I could see weird ephemeral strings stretching between our bodies as I reentered my body. Foolishly, I thought that was the end of it. Butl a few days later I felt a strange flipping sensation and I was suddenly back in Benji’s body again. And even worse I didn’t seem to be able to enter the astral plane in his body. I’d read on the forum that animals couldn’t enter the astral plane and apparently that applied to me now!
It didn’t take long for Benji to figure out how to open my phone. All I could do was lay there next to him on the couch as he scrolled through my phone and patted me on the head. This lasted for about an hour before I was suddenly back in my own body. I still remember that weird human-like expression on Benji’s face after we switched back, it was like he was taunting me! I spent the rest of the night researching what was happening to us but none of the usual forums had any info on a case like mine. There were stories of body swaps and stuff, but nothing about this weird automatic switching. A few days later I was sitting at work when the swap happened again! I was suddenly back at my apartment in Benji’s body. We didn’t swap back until late that night when I was too tired to do any more research. I went back to work expecting I was about to be fired but to my surprise Benji had finished all of the graphic design assignments I had for the entire week. He had figured out years of experience in a matter of hours. I needed to get this fixed and soon.
My research wasn’t going anywhere on my own so I ended up starting a new thread asking about it. These forums weren’t super popular so all I could do was sit on my bubbly butt and wait for a response. We swapped again on the next Friday night and I was forced to sit back and watch Benji bring a guy named Jarrod home that he must have found on tinder or something. The guy was actually amazing; he was very nice, had a good job, and was incredibly handsome. But that’s not the point! Benji was taking over my life!
