My bad! I followed a link, and didn't pay attention to the post dates... :S You should see me, I'm blushing like mad from the mistake. If a kind moderator would place my report in the appropriate place, that would be awesome of them.
10:57 pm pacific time. Begin projection attempt.
Scratch that, I need to find something other than TOOL to get me there. To the CD case!
{a side note: I have become very good at 'dropping out' as I call it; entering an altered state of conscious under a minute, sometimes more. This is why my experiences are short getting going.}
>Meditation Mix chosen. Begin 11:02pm.
updates post-projection.

11:12pm
Short projection due to numerous problems.
End projection on Orinoco Flow, by Enya. Fitting, somehow.
Firstly, I landed on the beach. Nice, soft sand. Furthermore, I was on my hands and knees, so I got a good feel of the sand, and if nothing else, I'd like to go back and take a nice nap in it.
I had some trouble getting my sight going, but it got better as the experience went on. I got to my feet, and looked around a little, and felt something(s) recoil at my presence as I was doing so. I probably don't appear very... well, friendly, due to my 'work' and 'heritage'. On top of that, I was 'rendered' in tattered robes.
Soon after I started to eyeball the inner part of the island, I was jerked backwards into the water, and dragged a ways out by a curious creature. I didn't get the feeling that it was anything bad, just something that was inhibiting me from going deeper into the island. I managed to stun it and climb up on top of the water (the will is a nifty thing!) and make my way back to shore. Again, I was absorbed by the texture of the sand, playing with a handful of it for a moment or two. I felt the same backwards jerk, and the whole process repeated itself (that being me dragged out to sea, stunning and this time encasing the creature, and making my way back.)After this, I altered my form a bit to give a more clean appearance, dressing myself in some white robes and changing my inherent astral anatomy a bit.
I resolutely began to move towards the inner island, and quite abruptly I think my left leg gave out. This is where it gets a bit hazy, so bear with me.
I grabbed my upper leg as I fell to my knees, and distinctly saw/felt a black patch spreading across it. It was at this point I decided to pull out, so I took a deep astral breath, and then a physical one, deconstructing and relocating my 'projection' back to me. Of course, I jumped back on and did the promised report.
My question is, has anyone else been inhibited by an apparently outside force from entering the island's interior?
