New OBE - "Up Against A Wall"

[Greytraveller]

Here is my latest OBE, which took place only 3 days ago. It was confusing and somewhat short. Yet It was interesting (to me at least.)

Out of Body Experience # 76
"Up Against A Wall"
Monday, March 10, 2008

   Mild vibrations began while in the hypnagogic state. Separation was deliberate yet difficult. I was under 2 blankets which were an obstacle to projecting. Once out of body my astral/ethereal body felt very heavy and sluggish. Also I could not see for the first 3 or 4 minutes. After that time I was only able to see very close up (see objects that were only a few feet away).
   For several minutes I just leaned against a wall. It was difficult to move and I did not know what to do. Then I tried to go through the wall. This was also quite hard and it took 3 or 4 tries to push through. This seemed to take a very long time. On 1 or 2 occasions I nearly got stuck inside the wall. Finally I did go through the wall and floated outside. Eye sight was still very poor. Nor could I feel the 20 to 25 degrees fahrenheit cold temperate. Within a minute or two I was back inside the bedroom.
   I floated through the bedroom then headed for a small third floor window yet kept bumping into many pieces of furniture about the room. These objects felt much like real, solid physical objects and I could not pass through them. It was so distracting that I lost focus and the OBE abruptly ended.
   Notes  Time was between 10:00 and 10:30 AM ( I had the day off from work). I lay on my left side. Duration of the OBE was 6 to 10 minutes.
OBE # 76 Locale I and a familiar location. No (familiar or unfamiliar) person(s) and being(s). Deliberate, Confused, Flight, Floated and Vibrations.

I've had a couple of those. Not much fun IMO but interesting to say the least.

doesn't sound fun

did you check from bruises, ruled out the possibility of a false awakening+sleep walking?


i know you have more experience and i'm not trying to be "That guy" just making conversation.

Thanx for your response, its always appreciated.

No bruises. This was an OBE, not a case of sleepwalking. I can explain much of the confusion due to the physical setup of the room. The bed is jammed between 2 walls with a closed window on a third side. So when I go out of body I have only one way to go to avoid going into something.
On other OBEs, when I was more alert and focused, I could navigate the tight space better. This time I kept going straight into things. To my mind that explains why this OBE was so confusing. (And btw it is SO important to have a predetermined intention before going out of body.)

Maybe you shoud try sleeping naked under a sheet.  try placing a mirror in your room to create a false sense of extra space so you won't feel so cramped.  Maybe you could open the window just a tad bit and place a small circular sticker of nature or something, or hang a windchime on the window??  I'm trying to give ideas about ways to make the room feel lighter and help your astral body move around in it more easily once you astral...

All your ideas are appreciated. The idea of opening a window is a very good suggestion. Unfortunately it is still too cold here in Pennsylvania to remove the glass window and replace it with a screen. However, I have always found it Much easier to go outside through a screen than a glass window. So maybe in a month or so that will be possible.
btw (If you have had OBEs) have you found it relatively easy to go through a glass window? It has always been hit or miss with me, sometimes I can and other times I cannot. So any ideas or suggestions for going through glass windows could be quite helpful.

So apparently you Have had OBEs yet are still trying to get outside of your room (?)
Remember that intention and focus are Key to getting somewhere/Doing something/meeting Someone while out of body.
I recommend setting the intention on getting outside your house/apartment and flying. That is one of the greatest thrills that I have experienced.
