Got close but failed. i think

[Elektro]

This morning i woke up at like 5 and stayed up for like 40mins researching stuff for APing, and then i got back into bed listened to my binaural beats and when it was done i was about 40% body awake, so i continued to relax and that and then i got the heavy lead blanket and then i relax for like another 5-10mins and then it went quiet and then i started to get the rushing noise like a train going pass or like a tornado i heard it and it faded cause i got exited, so i laxed out again and heard it coming, continuing to relax i heard it louder and louder and then it got heaps more heavyier on my body it felt great. Then at the back of my eyelids the blackness i saw like a tiny planet really small, and i felt like i was floating backwards far farer and farer away from that tiny planet but at the same time that planet grew so big, and i cant remember much after that think i woke up and went back to sleep again.

the feeling was like adrenaline felt heaps good and seeing the planet was like mind blowing.
Question is when i get into the hypnagogic state and then likee i swallow my saliva or clear my throat does it really interupt the process? cause when i clear my throat sometimes the sensations keep going and then stops, or they just stop as soon as i clear my throat. And its like once i get into that hypnagogic state and i stuff up i cant get back into it? do i gotta walk around and that then go back to bed?
another question is what should i have done this morning to keep the OBE process i felt llike i was really close and was almost ready to leave the body.

You are coming near, but will never have an success if you react on these feelings. These are signs of the approaching of the exiting phase.

(1.2.5.3.3.1.2) Caution: Often increases the physical sensation temporarily very much before reaching the sensation free state.  This manifests especially in temporary really nasty itching. This itching occurs mostly first only in some areas. It spreads often and disturbs so the relaxation. But if one stays calm and awaits the itch, then it will simply disappear together with the physical sensations.

(1.2.5.3.3.1.2.1) Other (mostly annoying!) physical sensations (swallowing reflex, cough, unpleasant-fitting clothes, coldness,...) may be intensified instead of the itching.

Try to focus away from your body, you dont need to swallow or so. If ou are not focused on it, you don't even notice it.

And its like once i get into that hypnagogic state and i stuff up i cant get back into it? do i gotta walk around and that then go back to bed?

Try it. Standing up for 5 minutes can be helpful sometimes.

Sweet i just had the same feeling last night, but i got up to the planet thing again but instead i felt like i was in a forest and my body was shrinking to like an ant size, no wondering it felt hektik haha. but then i lost focus and some how calm my self down and i felt kinda sweaty. meaning i failed or something? i still was kinda getting tiny tingly feelings but thats it.. i guess ill keep trying.

When i feeel like its go time. i move away from my body stop thinking about and think about the blackness and then it does something on its own but i cant hold it for long lol.

 You will find the more you practice, the easier it is to hold a single image in your mind. On the swallowing and saliva probelm, it will only interfere in your travel if you think it will. I still have itches, spams, bouts of over excessive saliva etc. but I don't let them bother me. When I have an itch, I change focus to another body part and it goes away.
 Good Luck

Yeh, when i clear my throat if i make a big fus about it right after i do it, it stops me but usually i just keep going like it never happened
