Hello all,
I had my first major experience in the real time zone yesterday morning!
I went there once for a split second awhile back, but now I got the chance to explore!
It happened at about 9:30 yesterday morning. I wasn't planning on having one, but I have been doing a lot of training lately, which probably brough it on.
I had woken up earlier in the morning and went back to sleep. I then had had some non-REM sleep inbetween my waking up and the experience.
Here is how the OBE started: I find myself floating around my room. I have vision for a bit, then it fades out. I decide to open my third eye and it opens, making everything bight and clear. I float around my room, and glance at the TV, where the "Rugrats" kids are acting scared of a toilet that is left off at their parents' house. LOL I do some back flips, and then attempt to try and penetrate a wall. I fly up and smack into the ceiling. I then hit the floor and try to go into the basement, but land smack on my "butt". I then fly up toward the ceiling, and go through it, while paying particular attention to the sensation of going through. It is, indeed a strange tactile feeling, as someone on here mentioned.
I'm now in my crawlspace, and there are three or so white plastic bags or coverings strewn about, along with someting dark and metallic (I think). Man, if only I could get Dad to let me in the crawlspace...he'd tell me I'm nuts, tho...LOL.
I float through the roof, and notice I'm on top of a completely diferent building, surrounded by green grass and some woods! According to RB, memories of past buildings and landscapes can remain in thought form and be seen while out. I have always been insanely curious about what was here before my house was, and maybe this was it. I'm thinking of drawing it. The other explanation could be that I had a thought, which threw off my perception for a second. I decide I don't like being confused at this point, and go back down through the crawlspace and into my room, where I float for a little while longer. I then run completely out of energy and get sucked back into my body, complete with all the entrance sensations and rushes.
Some observations about the experience:
- Although my room looked true to life and I knew it was real while it was happening, it did look a little different, although not as different as I expected. When I was up toward the ceiling, it looked like a security camera-eye view of my room that I could see all of at the same time.
- Movement was very different than it was on the physical plane. For example: When I went toward the ceiling, I didn't flip around, but shifted my vision to the back.
- When I was doing the flips, I couldn't flip all the way; it's almost like my silver cord got in the way and tugged a bit, which made me twist to the side (That's what I was thinking at the time). In actuality, I think it had to do with the 720 degree vision thing.
- My room looked bigger than it does in real life.
- WhenI first started out, I believed the RT zone would look so much like the physical that I would not know I was OBEing. In fact, I knew it was OBEing at the time I was doing it, and the only differences I experienced were the perception differences caused by the cyldidrical vision. According to RB, OBE's in the RT zone that are indistinguishable from the physical are possible, but *if* you have enough etheric energy.
- It was very fun and I was elated throughout the day! (This usally happens whenever I have any kind of projection-related experience.)
Can't wait to have more...I will talk to you all soon!
