An interesting find in last nights practice..

[Zarklon]

I was not expecting much from my practicing as usual but last night something odd happened.  I remember waking up from some kind of trance state and when I opened my eyes I saw the room very dimly lit as usual but when I closed my eyes I could still see it just the way it was.. I reopened and closed my eyes because it surprised me and still I could see the room.  I could have been OBE at that point but what startled me was the vibrations I got when I focused on my vision of the room with closed eyes.  As soon as I started to focus closer on something with my eyes closed I felt vibrations start in my back and they are the very same ones I used to leave my body in my desk at highschool a few years back.  

What im going to try tonight is setting my alarm for 3 am or something and when it goes off I'll hit snooze and try to keep in my mind an image of the room just the way I saw it before closing my eyes and hitting the pillow.  

Anyone have anything to say about this?

Seeing the room around you with your eyes closed is a common occurrence.  I've heard of a number of names such as Astral Sight and such.  You were seeing into the Real Time Zone (RTZ) as some call it.  This is the same place you will have an OBE in.

I use to do this from time to time when meditating.  Once, while lying in bed, I was just watching the room around me.  At the time, my oldest daughter was about 2 years old.  I saw here astral form walk into the bedroom and she sat on my lap as she often did in the physical.  Except, she was asleep and dreaming and I was looking into the RTZ.  She sat there for awhile and I 'spoke' to her and suggested that she go play.  Her blank expression faded as she smiled at me, gave me a hug and walked out of the room and down the hall to her toys.

Dude that focusing thing is exactly what happened to me! As soon as I focused in on an object in my dream the vibrations would start! Then it spread to my head and I gave up...

Anyway your seeing the room around you because you are in F2oC- not F1oC which you are used to. It probably looked exactly like your real room because that is what you expect to see when you wake up. Its not necessary to picture your room when you get up, try picturing a beach or forest or something

That's really great Zarklon, a really specific, straightforward, and unique account. The fact that you opened and closed your eyes repeatedly to make sure of the experience fascinates and impresses me. It's definitely inspiring.

maybe the next time i wake up from the trance state and feel the VERY strong vibrations, i should just let them do their thing until i can see my bedroom with my eyes closed. a good sign that i have fully transitioned! better than wasting the opportunity like i did the other morning....
