Amazing lucid dream with an OBE

[michael]

By the way:
Can anyone tell me why I get OBE symptoms during a daynap so often, and only when I am not expecting anything.

......I think it is because of the same reason if you go to sleep at night and do not manage or sleep lightly and wake upa lot that your consciousness finds it "easier" to remain conscious when leaving and re-entering the physical body and etheric body..that is when dreams/lucid dreams and OBE's are recalled perfectly (more or less) usually...

I project mostly during the day.

I have a few theories of my own as to why this is and why it seems somewhat easier:

1. I've been working so I am mentally tired to a certain extent. I can feel the hemispheres of my brain throbbing gently side to side, and I know that if I let myself fall asleep I will project, or at least have the symptoms (mental tiredness seems a good state to me).

2. It's not likely that a nap will take you very deeply alseep because you don't have time or any intention of sleeping so deeply, therefore it's easier to remain 'mind awake'.

3. We are programmed to fall asleep at night, it's more likely you will be tired enough to go straight into a deep sleep and miss your projection.

4. Tend to eat lightly during the day (well I do anyway) until evening, therefore when you take a nap during the day your body is perhaps less likely to be digesting like mad (which probably makes you less likely to project).

5. There's no subconscious fear of the dark at 2.30pm

and only when I am not expecting anything

6. I think if you are expecting it and it doesn't happen maybe it's because it makes you 'keep an eye out' for the symptoms in expectation, and perhaps then you don't get quite deep enough?

My OBE experiences have been very similar.  Mostly from afternoon naps, a lot of times when hearing radio sounds.  And when I think "I'm not bothered if it happens or not today".

I think an incredibly passive state of mind, almost to the point of indifference, works with OBEs.

However, I don't why!

Thanx for your replies

Don't you find it amazing that a lot of people hear those radio sounds before exit? What is so special in them that makes one of the symptoms?

Maybe people actually recieve the signal from a station? Sounds quite unbelievable, because one has to demodulate it, which is not easy, but maybe our brain adapted such a function in itself!

Similar to what stephen~ said, sometimes during a day, I have a strong feeling that I have to lie down and take a nap (mentally exhausted), and usually during these naps, my OBE symptoms show up. Recently I started drinking more water (to fight my headaches) and this tiredness became very rare (as well have my headaches dissappeared).

But that lucid dream was so amazing and real, though short. I wish I could induce it at will during every nap! That would make me a very happy man!

I had a spell where I was drinking a lot of water.  Then I cut down somewhat, by about half.  I got so tired.  My homoeopath told me the reason I was fatigued was because I'd reduced my water intake, and my body was dehydrating (even though I didn't feel dehydrated).  I drank more again, and felt better.

On a separate issue, I posted something about radio sounds a while ago.  It may be of interest to you.  Here's the link:

It's very strange this 'radio' phenonema isn't it? I hear crystal clear voices in conversation, but it's not to me or about me, and really does sound either like a radio play ("Ted, I'm going back to Denmark in the spring" - "Well you know best, honey" type of stuff) or it sounds like any  mundane conversation you might overhear anywhere.

My first thought was that though it really sounds like radio (or TV) transmissions, that it would be impossible to hear it, as we don't hear radio waves, only the effect of changes in air pressure on our ear drums - physical world effects. But then we see real things in the rtz without having physical eyes to do the spade work.

So what causes it, where does it come from, maybe even when does it come from? So many people talk about it, it is hard to believe we are making it up ourselves, it is just too much of a coincidence.

It's almost like everything that has ever been said or will be said is on some cosmic tape machine just waiting to be listened to. What would the FBI give for that?

Hi everyone!
I had this amazing experience recently! I was having a daynap. I started to hear the radio and very loud male voices that were discussing me (i couldnt understand a thing, but I had that impression). That is usually a symptom for an OBE for me, so started to use the rope technique to "get out". At some point, i had this sudden but extremely intense wave cross my back and legs and leave through my feet. At a moment I thought it was some astral creature, don't know why. After some short time I started to float above the floor. After floating for a while, colors started to intensify, and things to change. I floated around my flat, and everything was different, but extremely realistic: I would even say more realistic than in real life! I was so amazed and it felt great! I knew that it already was a lucid dream at that time: so floated outside, flyed around, even tryed to bite a woman on the street for fun But people seemed to ignore me and acted kinda to perfect.
I enjoyed having full control of the situation, everything was like a toy: real, beautiful and perfect
I was very happy afterwards
