Title: Nightmare-Induced OBE
Post by: astralpwka on March 28, 2005, 13:56:09
In my dream, I rode in the back of an SUV, driven by a woman named Amanda. In the rear-view mirror, I caught the reflection of her eyes. They were completely black, similar to an alien's from the X-Files show. Amanda was a pretty girl I worked with about eight years ago, but she didn't seem so pretty now. It made her frightening, and this was all it took to make me realize that this wasn't real.

I said out loud, and excitedly, "I'm dreaming!"

Unfortunately, I should only have thought it, because she turned in her seat, catching me in her empty black stare. Her look was malevolent, and she said to me, "I heard that."

Since I had become lucid, I quickly took myself from the SUV, reappearing in a park. Unfortunately, her black eyes had disturbed me more than I expected - I felt creeped out. I decided to astral project instead of lucid dream.

Instantly I found myself in my astral body, but unable to travel. I could move my arms and head, but that was it. I could actually feel my hands gripping the bed sheets trying to pull myself along (which is the first time I've ever physically felt anything out-of-body).

As part of my struggle, I repeated as a mantra, "I'm dreaming!", as I still had those darned black eyes as a frozen image in my memory. My voice came out as a distant croak, and I struggled to scream it repeatedly to find my voice, as though it would give me more control.

Unfortunately, the struggle and stress caused me to awaken. I found myself laying on my back. The sheets were not clutched in my physical hands, and my body felt very relaxed, as opposed to the flailing struggle I'd been doing astrally. My wife slept easily beside me, enforcing the fact that my physical body had not mimicked my astral turmoil.

I lay in bed after that staring at the ceiling, almost afraid to close my eyes again, still feeling those black eyes as though she had been an actual evil entity. Finally, I became angry. I wouldn't let some dream entity ruin my dream and astral playground. With that, I rolled over and determinedly went back to sleep. Unfortunately, no lucid or astral experiences followed the rest of the night.

I had a similar experience a few days ago. It was my first lucid dream and what actually scared me was the power with which i was being sucked out of my body. I had a full blown panic attack crowned with inability to move due to sleep paralysis...so i tried to scream and claw at the force pulling at me, finally I woke myself up by slapping myself in the face  :lol:  It was extremely difficult to move my hand, which was actually resting on my forehead...I felt my astral arms waving around frantically until the physical one also finally moved a little. Hehehe...what an experience! I thought that now I could have a lucid dream any time I desire, but no luck so far...

You always hear that the first step is the hardest, but then you learn... you've got a lot of first steps to go.  :P

Well controlling your fear is a thing you'll have to learn. An OBE from a nightmare. Hm I never had those before. Interesting I must say.
