OBE "College Town BST"

[Greytraveller]

Hallo all
I continue have success at inducing an OBE from a lucid dream. This one happened just a few days ago.

"College Town BST"

Sunday, January 17, 2010 (OBE # 91)

   As with other recent OBEs this began with a dream. In the dream I was about to take a shower. I turned on the water and got undressed. Suddenly the room was completely empty - no shower stall, no sink, nothing. Just a totally empty room with bare white walls.. I became lucid.
   OBE. I opened up the window and looked out to observe a sprawling modern city. It appeared to be the campus of a major university. I flew out of the window and mentally dressed myself. The location was obviously a Belief System Territory (BST (non-physical)). Large 3, 4 and 5 story brick buildings were spaced well apart. A few wide streets could be seen although very few vehicles were visible. Most of the immediate area was connected by narrow concrete paths the ran between low hilly grassy fields. There were not many large trees to be seen yet there was alot of smaller vegetation everywhere.
   People were walking about in warm daylight. These were discarnate people, probably a mixture of OBEers, dreamers and physically deceased persons. Though these people could see me hardly any of them paid me more than a quick glance as my flying did not attract much attention. Perhaps these people were too busy hurrying to a class or to their place of work? I flew around for about 5 minutes trying to find street signs but there were none to be seen. (Has anyone ever seen a street sign or an address number in the RTZ? Or in a BST??)
   Finally I got bored so decided to swoop down, land and pick up a hot college age girl. Here the OBE faded into a dream.
   Notes. Time was about 9:45 to 10:15 AM. The OBE lasted from 5 to 15 minutes. The dream (before and after the OBE) lasted another 10 to 20 minutes. I lay on my right side. OBE #91 The location was a BST which was Not familiar. There were no familiar persons there. There were unfamiliar discarnate persons there (most were about college age or slightly older). Dream>>Into>>OBE,  Deliberate,  Flight,  Emotional, Travel-teleport,  OBE>>Into>>Dream,  Meditation (hours before),  Energy-pranayama (hours before).

Comments, questions and suggestions welcomed.

Did this wonderful OBE learn you anything?

Hi Grey.
Another good OBE, nice to read. I have a question.

I flew out of the window and mentally dressed myself.

What are we wearing during an OBE??  I read in a post that a person was naked when he checked it, but I don't like the idea to fly around nude in the astral nor in the RTZ!  
I have only noticed once that I was wearing something but mostly it even doesn't cross my mind. I try to remember to have a look at myself but as soon as I am out, the memory has disappeared completely.   I rarely hear other people about it.

(Has anyone ever seen a street sign or an address number in the RTZ? Or in a BST??)

I have once seen a sign from real estate with a name on it. I looked up the name but it didn't exist.

I am honing my skills going OOB from a lucid dream.

Clothing is not normally a problem for me in an OBE. It just happened that I perceived myself as undressed on this occasion.    My guess is that thought shapes form in the astral so that everyone there is dressed in whatever form that 'suits' them.

Great question. I have a few times. In waking life I tend to pay attention to landmarks, and building signs. I end up paying very little attention to address numbers..etc. Anyway one time I ended up in a very unfamiliar place and no one could see me. I ended up and spotted the golden gate bridge (not the first time) so I knew where I was at that point. So I flew pretty high up and looked for a an area to go. I dropped down from the sky pretty quick (have a thing with wanting to fall...sort of fun for me I guess). I seen some fast food places, and other buildings. I could feel I was about to lose the obe state soon so I flew up to the closest one and studied the sign. The lettering on it read Togos and had a weird yellow figure somewhere above the lettering.

I was starting to lose focus and couldnt make out the emblem and mistook it for a lightning bolt but knew thats not what it was, I wasn't sure but was positive on the letters. I wrote it all down and forgot about it for a while. When I was going back through my journal I decided to google it thinking I'd come up empty but sure enough there is a sandwich fast food type place that goes by that name. I thought okay it exists but there is no way there is one in San Fransisco and sure enough there is (used the company's store locater on their website). Since then I've gotten into the habit of googling landmarks..etc when I decide I want to verify the obe or figure out where I went. I ended up in San Fransisco more than once which is the only place I have been more than once, I'm wandering why that is. Anyway hope that answers your question grey.

A while ago, in a period where I was trying to verify an obe I think it was, I had an experience where I was walking along and had the urge to look up at this big building/warehouse and read the sign. It said Abha Building Supplies or something close to that in english letters and in an arabic style. A quick google found there's a city called Abha in Saudi Arabia which I found pretty interesting.

Hi mr. greytraveler.

How dare you have an OBE and not go visit astral pulse island?!   

As for your question about wearing clothes in the astral plane.  My opinion on the matter (as I am also one of the people that practices entering obe from lucid dreams) is that your human  brain has certain programming and beliefs that dont apply on the astral plane.  Our soul doesn't have a bodily form, its just a round blob similar to an orb and it can see 360 degrees around it.  Your mind projects a body onto your soul and the clothes as well.  This doesn't discount the validity of your obe, it just suggest that you should question the things around you more and you shouldn't assume anything while you're traveling.

I have read a road few signs while I was in the astral.  The names of the signs change, but when I focus in on them, they start to solidify.  I haven't attempted to verify any of the road signs I've read in dreams yet, because I was too busy trying to pick up men!    But I think one of my problems as well, is that I project false images into the obe based on what I expect to see or be there.  

I like the way your set your dream up, and you define what kind of zone you are in; astral, rtz, or bst!  That is soo cool, I'm going to try that too, as well as recording what kind of travel method I was using.  I'm inspired now.  =]

Question:  what is pranayama energy?

[Greytraveller]

Hi and thanx for replying.

I suppose reading street signs and addresses will only be meaningful if it is a real time zone (rtz) projection. If the location is a nonphysical BST (belief system territory) then the location will not exist in the physical world. It is just that I have never been able to read a street sign or an address either in the rtz or a BST.

Pranayama is the Hindy yogic practice of breath control. It is based only inhaling for 4 seconds, retaining breath for 16 seconds and exhaling for 8 seconds. Harder breath exercisese can be done by inhaling for 8, retaining for 32 and exhaling for 16. (or harder yet is the 16 sec - 64 sec - 32 sec variety). Practice of pranayama over a long period of time changes the oxygen content in the blood and provides an energy boost.
