Nearly there

[Sepultura123]

I was in my bed trying to do an OBE. It was this morning and happened 30 minutes ago.  For first I wanted to do an OBE , I reached a lowly transe but not more , at a point I was feeling my mouth swallowing mouth water in my pillow so I didnt go further.

After that I try to sleep to do a Lucid dream. At first I was having it , I was dreaming outdoor of my house in the grass and my friend (SP) was there with the car of his parents. When he got out I was already telling him that all this was a dream and that was a Lucid dream.

So after that I partially awake.I didnt go further in my dream because surely of my REM , this was only 30 minutes that I was sleeping. I was thinking about retrying a Lucid Dream. After a long moment I thinked one more time about OBe and I tryed it.

I was already experienced vibration and seeing my black vision into my shutted eyes. After a moment I got a hallucination. Dont know if my physcal eyes was open or not but I was seeing my chamber with two girl into it. But this was really quick and didnt draw to me attention.

Strange, shortly after that im in deep transe. The funny thing is my mind was not 100% awake. Usually , im looking in my shutted eyes to stay my mind awake , but I was not seeing my shutted eye because of that (was not fully mind awake). I was more trying to sense the sensation of my body.

So I know I can project myself so I try. I try by extending my arms and my whole body into the air above me .

Is this a good method

I experience the sensation of my astral body trying to get out. I experienced just once in my life before that and it suprised me another time. The feeling is so emotional.

I didnt achieve it , after that its really weird. I was thinking in my mind about changing position in my bed but its like it happened for real but I knew that my physical body did not fully move.  Or part of my body that was touching the wall but I knew it didnt not.

After that I heard strange sound coming from a Television but I knew in my house that all Tv was shutted down because it was in the morning and my parents was not there.

I retry another time with the same sensation but another time without success.

After that I hear a strange sound and that was like someone was in my chamber trying to scare me. Like my mind was fully knowing it , dont know there if it was hallucination or not but my physical eye open to see if something was wrong. My door was closed so I knew nobody was there.

After that I try with the rope method but didnt work. At first it was way more fast that my other technique but when I was half in the air , I wasnt thinking anymore about that . So I drowned to my body.

Shortly after that I awake because I got to go to the bathroom.

So i have question.

1)Why does I didnt OBE ?

2) If the mind is not fully awake like in my story , like you don't see your shutted eyes . Can you OBE ?
(Maybe not , because you couldnt see the astral world with the attention not in my shutted eyes.)

3)Can someone tell me good tips for project myself after im in mid-air ?

Thinking about it , a rollover method would have surely have been succesful ....

Can somebody help me ?

Its important...

If you are floating in mid-air, then wouldn't you be having an OBE?

Next time, try letting the experience happen without trying too hard with techniques. I mean, techniques are great and all but sometimes you just got to take a step back from the situation and just let it happen on it's own.

and what do you mean in your question 2, can you elaborate/rephrase?

[Sepultura123]

Usually when I begin my sleep with trying to do a OBE ,  I close my eye and watch the black in my shutted eyes to stay the mind awake.  If I dont see the black its usually because im not focusing about doing a OBE.

But with this experience I didnt see the black of my shutted eyes . I was just focusing about my body and trying to go out.

Can you do a OBE if you dont see the black. I mean if I dont see the black its just like I can't see the OBE world. If I could that would be like a dream.
