between sleep and awake

[Waddle]

hey guys,

Just a question.  If you are between asleep and awake and still aware you are in your room, but half a sleep is that when you have the opportunity to astral project.  Thats pretty much how I describe it.

Thanks.

Its not half asleep exactly, its when your mind is fully awake and body is fully asleep , when you get a chance to consciously peep into astral.

All the best

It seems like kind of a tricky term to me - "mind awake/body asleep". To me, it almost implies that you are actually staying awake while the rest of you goes to sleep, which implies that your brain is actually staying awake, which it is not. What is really happening is that you really are completely going to sleep but hanging onto a sliver of consciousness. I know it is sort of splitting hairs, but the term throws me off sometimes.

Between asleep and awake is pretty accurate, but don't mistake this for being in just a really good meditative state or being really relaxed as you can still be pretty far away from an OBE.  When you are about to have an OBE, you will definitely know it because it's unlike anything you've ever experienced especially if you have a strong tendancy toward having vibrations first.  But the thing is the vibes come on quickly and there is really no way to know (that I know of) if you are gettting close.  Just being relaxed is not enough (but definitely helps).  It's kind of like waiting at a train station and either your party shows up or they don't.  Still, you have to be at the train station if you are going to meet your party at all.
