I had success with insomnia OBE method!

[Dream Cadet]

Hi All,

I had to abort the MajorTom method after 2 hours last night due to some outside interference.  I got close however. I saw flashes of light, heard laughter and at one point I felt someone walk past my side of the bed who was not there. I also had energy sensations that usually lead to vibrations. I have a lot to do today and will not be able to nap.  Tonight I will try again. It will be the MajorTom method with an insomnia twist.  Maybe I'll be too tired to sleep[]

Keep us posted D.C.[]


I have been going to bed really tired lately and have not tried the insomnia method for a few days.  But I have spent a solid 10-15 minutes of “I will OBE” affirmations.  Each night for the last three I have not felt any vibrations or anything that is like going out.  But I have been woken up at least once or twice each night from the feeling of being sucked back in.  Where you are pulled back in so hard that it shocks you into being awake.

So what’s the deal?  Just a dream?  Or has anyone else had this happen to them?

thelou and MajorTom,

I had good success with the "MajorTom" method. I didn't actually OBE but I learned a lot about the process.  I kept getting interrupted by outside interferrence and did not get to complete the task.  Here's some of what I learned:

1. The 2nd night I learned I can go to sleep with my arm held up in the air [:O]. I was getting very uncomfortable after 2 hours of lying on my back so I turned on to one side.  I left my arm up in the air. Next, I woke up 2 hours later with my arm perfectly balanced and my fingers were asleep.[!]

2. I also learned that about 2-3 seconds after my hypnogogic (sp) imagery turns into a scene and starts to move my arm starts to fall.  This appears to be where my mind starts falling asleep. I got pretty good at recognizing this and started to predict it. A little more practice and this will be helpful in keeping my mind from falling asleep without the annoyance of the arm in the air.

3. I got to the feeling of falling through my bed. At this point, I knew I was very close to exit but I got interrupted. [!] I think I could have actually been writing about my successful OBE if it weren't for being interrupted.

4. I also reaffirmed to some degree that I have a unique, well disguised OBE killer.  When I get to a point during my exercizes that exit is near, I start telling myself that I'm tired of trying and to give up and try again tomorrow night.  It usually happens at the same point in my practice and is not related how long I have been trying.  Pretty sneeky huh![}:)]

In summary,

What the "MajorTom" method did was help me become more familiar with different stages and what goes on by just spending a lot of time practicing. I am trying to map a way through to "surefire" OBEs and this weekend has helped a bunch.

Thanks again MajorTom and thelou for your support.

Oh Yeah! MajorTom,

Please come back and visit us sometime.

You could interrupt your sleep, then bent your arm. Lot of my rolling-out OBEs have came that way.

However, after all the struggle you'll got through, your arm could remain in perfect balance. It will not hinder you to getting out, but could help to get the very feeling of the detaching process and understand the nature of the paralysis.

You could generate intent simply by the sustained act of not allowing yourself to sleep as you used to. And this is the intent which allow you to get awareness of the proper state required for separation.

Last night I decided to do MajorTom’s insomnia method.  At first I thought I would have to be crazy to ever try that.  But I have not had much luck for a couple of weeks after having several good OBE’s.  And that was driving me crazy![]

I was actually very, very tired and was yawning and falling asleep all day.  I knew I would not be able to last 5 hours, but decided I would try my best.  But as I lie down my mind kept arguing between OBE and LD.  So in my affirmations, I just kept going back and forth, OBE, LD, OBE, LD...

The next think I know I am having full blown vibrations like I have never had before!  I saw a bright flash of light and then started to make out my room around me.  I was sitting up in bed, and my body was still lying there.

I got so excited I woke up.  But it was way cool.  I guess I was technically only half out.  But I feel that the results were great for my first attempt at this method.  All the rest of the night I woke up about every half hour to see if I was awake or not.  That got a little frustrating, but I was not tired today like I thought I would be.

I had many dreams of feeling like I was detached throughout the night.  Could that have been why I kept waking myself up?  

MajorTom do these sensations sound familiar to you?  And any suggestions?

Thanks people,
