Just had my first OBE this morning

Cant remember my exact technique to get to Mind awake/Body asleep, i tried last night and nearly got there so i wnet to bed woke up around 8:30 am and just decided to give it another try i dont know how long it took all i remember is that my body shut down completely and i decided to try and get out.

First i tried to sit up but could only get half out so i did the roll and that worked. I tried to fly through the roof of my room but couldnt, but my door was slightly ajar so it let me open that. I got outside and WOW! the sjy was the most amazing colour so i decided to have a fly around for a bit. Then i lost clarity and woke up. I know it was not some crazy dream because i actually did the clarity now thing and chose to fly over a specific part of town near my house which is over the ocean which looked absolutely incredible!

Amazing experience for my first one i think reading on the forum has helped me so much so thanks to everyone that replied to my first post. Will definately try to go to the AP next time i think.

Just had a few questions.

Now that i have had my first one do you think it is easier to connect with how to do get into that state now, like a pathway has been established?

and should i just keep trying everytime i go to sleep/nap to have one ? Or do you only have them once a week or so?

Cheers

I have been trying nightly since I did it this past week.
Been startled awake as I begin to doze off but no luck.

Grats on your success.

acidstar,

sounds like a great expierence. It is nice to see someone who has been working on projecting acomplish there first oobe. I have not yet had a conscious oobe, but last night I woke up and recalled being half out of my body and stuck. Not sure if it was a dream or what.

I am not expierenced enough to answer your questions, but I have read many times that once you have had your first oobe you are well on your way to having more.

If it were me I would go for it as often as you wish. I would think having your expierence fresh in your mind would really start the ball rolling. It's great motivation and now you know it is real and you have expierenced it.

So good luck and happy travels

Thanks guys,

Yeah it was pretty crazy, its the kind of thing that you wouldnt imagine is real untill it happens to you!

I am just going to keep doing what i have been doing and see what results i get, and keeping a journal of everything definately helps alot to be able to remember things that happen. I cant wait to get to the astral though and have a look around there.

It was strange because you have the urge to go and do so many things you cant decide what to do

But for anyone out there that is still trying to get there just keep trying and dont get frustrated when it doesnt happen, just try again the next day/night. I hope i am able to have more, but just that has left me with so much excitement for what might be possible.

Hahaha i just had one question is there an easy way to go through walls because bugger me if i could get through any lol

i read about willing it to happen works?!?! maybe i just wasnt strong willed enough

Congrats !
Regarding your question

QuoteNow that i have had my first one do you think it is easier to connect with how to do get into that state now, like a pathway has been established?

and should i just keep trying everytime i go to sleep/nap to have one ? Or do you only have them once a week or so?

Keep trying as many times as possible. No 2 people are the same when it comes to the frequency and regularity of OBEs. But usually those people who want OBEs to occur and try to induce them on a regular basis are Much more likely to experience them. So keep trying!

I close my "eyes" when I want to go through walls. be careful, though. you may not be able to "open" them afterward. haha

dbmathis · February 15, 2009, 23:58:51

Congrats on your success, and I think that once you have your first OBE there's no turning back

QuoteHahaha i just had one question is there an easy way to go through walls because bugger me if i could get through any lol i read about willing it to happen works?!?! maybe i just wasnt strong willed enough

I have read several books now and I would say that walking through walls depends on what type of environment you are in. You need to know if the wall is just some wall that you created for yourself or is the wall part of some consensus dimension that you phased into.

I guess it all depends. Experiment and have fun

I have seen the sky and the unbelievable colors, these are just moments I won't forget.
I've been searching the Net for a photo with similar colors, but it seems that they don't exist on Earth / our physical eyes don't see them...

Anyway cool experience, I have not had a fully conscious one and have been trying for some 2 years...

acidicstar · February 16, 2009, 22:56:02

Yeah definately the blue i saw i can still recall it in my minds eye it was craaaaaaazy, and there was a really strong breeze blowing against me when i wanted to fly at first, but i just willed myself to fly what an amazing experience that was i cant believe how cool it felt, and i have never ever in my life flown in a dream so it was a new experience for me.

I tried again last night i find it alot easier now to organize my thoughts now to achieve relaxation, so i just have to trust that it will happen again when the time is right.

Next time though i think i am going to have to organize my thoughts better when i go in so that i know where i am going and what i am going to do, because it all feels so overwhelming when it happens, you just cant decide what to do with yourself. And i can definately see how people could get stuck in lower levels you could basically do whatever you wanted good or bad.

So i am hoping to have many more experiences with this and i will share them with you all as they happen.
Thanks once again to everyone that has given me any advice so far its greatly appreciated

zareste · February 16, 2009, 23:40:04

Did the blue seem like a color you haven't seen before? It sounds like you were seeing ultraviolet light - normally invisible to human eyes

acidicstar · February 17, 2009, 00:02:39

it was a really different blue to anything ive ever seen before i cant really explain since i havent seen it with my physical eyes before, everything had this surreal edge to it, What do you guys do to set your destination, do you tell yourself where you are going to go before you lay down and start relaxing ?

That was the biggest thing i struggled with, was deciding where to go and what to do, its like anything that pops into your head seems like a good idea hahaha something like "lets go fly around town" and you are just going "yeah why not!" it would be better obviously to have a set course/goal in mind for the projection, what is the best way to accomplish that so that the experiences arent wasted on trivial things?

And i was reading something last night that i think was posted by frank ages ago, that once you reach mind awake/body asleep instead of just hopping straight out of your body (which i did) just relax and let the vibrations pick up in pace and you will get slingshotted in to the astral ! has anyone tried this method at all? Because obviously just getting out of your body as soon as you can puts you in the real time zone.

Cheers

acidicstar · February 18, 2009, 08:18:57

any help with those last questions ladies and gents?

Would be very helpful indeed!

Thanks

Stookie · February 18, 2009, 12:01:38

Set your goal before you begin. Have the clear intent that it's what you want to accomplish. Make the goal realistic, obviously. Some goals you have to work towards over time with practice. And if it's anything like my projections, there will be a myriad of things that may distract you on the way. Focus and concentration are important here.

acidicstar · February 19, 2009, 03:08:38

Thanks for that mate, i have had heaps of success getting into a super relaxed state the last couple of nights,

But just unable to reach the vibrational state, but i have been reminding myself during the day that to project is something i have accomplished once already so it is possible and will happen again when its ready.

I will just have to keep focused, im just wondering if i have more success in the morning after waking up, might set my alarm a bit earlier and try then aswell as doing it before i go to bed.

Steele · February 19, 2009, 19:08:34

congrats on the success i hope to hear about your upcoming experiences ( i also hope soon ill be able to post my success story here ) here's to the future!

Just had a strange experience this morning, i am just going to write what i wrote in my dream journal, feel free to share some thoughts on it if you like.

21st feb,

Weird experience.

I was dreaming about being in a car with my ex (who i am still friends with) my mum and my dad and a few other friends and we were driving past a mansion. We were talking about all the bands we have seen live, because for some reason or other the mansion was where bands played (dream logic lol) and all of a sudden the car went quiet and in the seat in front of me was my grandma (who passed away quite some years ago) and it was weird because i was suddenly really far away from her in the car and i kind of had to make myself drift forward to her. I knew i only had a short time to say i loved her (for whatever reason) and i remember doing that and hugging her and just saying i loved her over and over again. And for some reason in my ear i kept hearing my ex saying "Look, Tim is crying" over and over, and i knew for a certainty that everybody couldnt see what i was seeing, like i was asleep or something and i was experiencing something that they couldnt perceive (I dont want to say out of body because im not sure but it felt that way to me) all of a sudden my vision went black and i didnt wake up for a couple of seconds and felt the exact same feelings of reentering my body as my first OBE.

Very strange indeed, dont really know if it was a genuine OBE or just a dream, but it would be the first time ever i have dreamt about my grandma which is really strange in itself. So either way i am really happy it was an awesome way to start the day.

Steele · February 20, 2009, 19:35:16

this is random but i noticed it's the 21st where you are! here its the 20th! i dont know why i find that so cool but it is! lol

acidicstar · February 25, 2009, 10:36:45

Just had another projection tonight!

I found this method to work really well for me So this is basically it.

I cant sleep on my back at all so i choose this position to get into a relaxed state,

So i probably lay there for 30 - 40 mins concentrating on breathing and doing affirmations and things, all the while trying too keep those thoughts in my head and now i roll over and assume my natural sleeping position (which is on my side) now i know if i am relaxed enough or not because when i go to change positions my legs are super heavy and i am feeling like i really want to sleep. So once i hit my sleeping position i just try as hard as i can to concentrate and hopefully the vibrations will happen.

Now that prob sounds a bit weird i guess but everytime i have tried it this way i have at least gotten to the vibration stage.

Now for the OBE

Got out of my body and decided to fly out of my house with the intention of getting to the astral, tried to make a doorway (dunno if you can do that but i tried) and that failed so i just floated up and let the wind take me (there has been a strong wind when i exit my house both times) i am forgetting where i went straight away, i remember popping out on a big blue grid thingy.

And i remember flying through a big green tunnel. And i ended up in some bar somewhere and then lost the OBE(maybe it was mixing dream imagery i dont know) and i ended up back in the vibrational state so i gave it another try, this time going straight into this green tunnel thing.

Now this part even to me seems a bit funny, i think because i had nowhere in mind to travel to, it feels like my base instincts took over and i remember asking my self if you can have sex while in the astral?!?! so i exit the tunnel and end up in this weird room (now i know this part is definately not a dream because i am doing clarity things and looking at my hands, going around and feeling things etc.) anyway i walk up a set of stairs and there is this beautiful girl there, i mean absolutely amazingly good looking and she starts walking over to me and then i am back in my body again. (all of this elapsed over what i would say about 15 mins.)

So the question i want to ask first and foremost does anyone else go through this base emotions/instincts kinda thing when they project or is it just me?

And Does anyone have dream imagery mix in with their OBE's ever?

And does anyone know any good methods of setting a destination/plan for when they try to project. Because i always seem to get overwhelmed with possibilities and i think this limits what i am able to acheive.
Sorry if the post seems a bit all over the place i just woke up after writing some stuff in the diary and i am slowly remembering things as they come to me.
So maybe try this method and see how you go with that it seems to work for me and i hope it does for you
Once again any help with my questions would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

owl · February 25, 2009, 23:40:36

acidstar,
you are really moving along with your projections, that's awesome.

So the question i want to ask first and foremost does anyone else go through this base emotions/instincts kinda thing when they project or is it just me?

I was just reading the other day a book by John Magnus, "ASTRAL PROJECTION AND THE NATURE OF REALITY". He talks about how he would project and would get caught up in acting out his sexual urges in the astral. He finally discoverd with the help of his guide that this was keeping him from progresing further. So he worked on manipulating his mind to get past this. When he would have a sexual encounter while projecting and he would tell himself things like, this can wait till later. Then he was able to move on and do the things he wanted to.

I don't know if this will help, I have'nt gotten out yet, and when I do I'll probably get caught up in the same kinda thing. Really it probably would be fun to have astral sex, but I can see how it could really limit your expierences and growth.

Anyway good luck

acidicstar · February 26, 2009, 01:45:09

thakyou very much owl!

Yeah i dont know why i have been lucky in getting projections, i really want to progress further to experience things that other people have talked about.

Thankyou for your help on that question, its kind of funny how we still get trapped up in the physical side of things even when we arent physical beings anymore

But thankyou for that it gives me hope for obtaining higher experiences.

But all i will say is that keep on trying because from just what i have experienced there is so much potential for many amazing experiences that could impact on our current life in the physical.

Cheers
