I have investigated this a little myself, as well;
[....] I headed up to the ceiling to go outside and bounced back down to the floor. I stood up and looked at my body under the blankets and saw my wife sitting there watching TV. I tried going out the wall and got out but then noticed that I was back in the room and seeing everything rotated sideways. Next I shot out the window and that worked well and soon I was out flying around. I shot way high and thought "I go to the place where the lottery numbers are" and I began flying through a mist and then I emerged near a large river and an island with a large red brick building that was there and next to it a huge, black Egyptian mummy case that looked like it was made of carved onyx. I got a funny feeling about it and veered off and just kept flying around. I was having fun with it and put my arms out like a kid pretending to be an airplane or a bird. Then I pulled them in to my side and wondered if that would make me go faster.
Yes, sometimes we don't get what we
ask for. I have often wondered if stray thought after our "wishes" has something to do with diversions and random/irrelevant locations. Perhaps Robert Monroe was right when he said that the "navigation" system in the OOBE condition is of an accuracy that we are not used to. Too accurate! So accurate that the slightest stray thought will lead us astray. And of course, we then run out of time because, after all, it is the Phase state and the name is very appropriate...it's a phase of experience.
