Lucid dream to astral projection...possible?

[mikeman]

Hey jenia_san,

In my opinion, OBE from lucid dream is definately possible! The physical state of being completely conscious while asleep seems perfect conditions for an OBE to occur. On several occasions I have OBE from a lucid dream simply by being aware of it, and can usually feel the vibrations in my physical body as I begin to fly around in the lucid dream. Does this happen to you? For a long time I was curious weather this was actually an OBE just like you are, and after some experimentation, decided it definately was!

Some of the things I checked were:

i) Weather hands faded away when they are looked at
ii) Weather senses such as hearing ect were sharp and super real or dream-like as in normal OBE

What do you think?

I do not know...but I hope so...
when flying around in my lucid dreams I pay very little attention to what I feel or sense,but more to what I do.
so I never bothered to check my hands or my senses...

and please,simply call me Jenia []

I'd say that while freefalling you were in the exit stage and it was translated into an LD.
When you decided to fly up you in fact cancelled the exit before it had turned into a full OBE and thus ended up awake in your bed.

It is very easy to get out of body when you are in LD,
you just go out by jumping or sit down somwhere and stand up with
astral body, it happens to me almost every day, and sometimes i am then flying or walking or been pulled up or down until
i come to somekinda place, different every time- sometimes like
physical world and sometimes not- Few times after i did exit in LD
I 'wake' up in bed and then simply exit out and see my body on the bed or feel the cord- and then I am in the house but everything is turned upside down- and it's not like it is happening now- it seems to me like it is parallel world or past,future?! I still didn't manage to
hold the projection for long time but am learning- one by one-
and tryin full conscious project-

absolutely possible. all you have to do while lucid dreaming is think of your physical body and your room. if done correctly you will be inside of your body but not functional. (paralysis state because your mind is awake, body asleep). next thing that i do is just imagine myself floating above my body, and if you concentrate hard enough, youll be out. simple as pizza pie

For me, it's not so easy, it's require FULL awareness.

Have you realized that most of six billion people will never have that experience?
People are after miracles and fail to see the ones they do create.
Keep at it []

I was doing some meditation when I fell asleep...
in the middle of the dream it became lucid,I became aware...
I was on a bridge. a rather big one.
my first thought was "YAY! another one! FUN!"
and I took a freefall off the bridge...
while I was falling,I suddenly decided to fly back up,and I pulled myself up by my thoughts...but instead of going up in there,I suddenly found myself in my bedroom.
I did NOT expect that.
I looked down,and I saw myself.then I felt strange and I woke up.
I was all shaky.
I sat and started thinking "what happened?"
and then a thought accoured to me "OOBE? well you need to have your body asleep to do it...and my mind was sorta awake,I could think...so mybe..."
and that's why I came to the forum in the first place.
was that but an illusion my brain created in the lucid dream...or was it really an OOBE?
