First interaction w/ environment in OBE

[Astral316]

Okay so a couple days ago I had another morning OBE where I was moving towards my computer room in my house. After that I "woke up" in my living room (I was sleeping in my bedroom) and tried a few more times to OBE. I noted how it was strange that I was awake and still able to attain vibrations with ease. I woke up in my bed to find I had been OBE'ing the whole time. Funny how an OBE can turn into a false awakening if you don't catch yourself.

This morning I woke around 4:30, did VERY little energy work, watched some George Lopez, and fell asleep an hour later. I immediately felt the vibrations coming and at this point it's basically become second nature from there. I'm proud of that considering I was in the "I'm afraid of what might happen" category a few months back stemming from childhood experience. Well anyway, I intensify the vibrations and feel myself falling... great feeling. I end up moving through this tunnel that has a high videogame quality about it. It looks very much like a computerized sewer system, only one you'd navigate a videogame character through. I remember concentrating less on the environment and more confirming that I was fully conscious, and indeed I was. I end up at the end of this tunnel and want a change of setting so I turn on the vibrations. I'm pretty sure I saw Stewie Griffin from Family Guy standing on a platform in that scene just seconds before I left.

Okay now I'm fluttering just below the living room ceiling over this old recliner that hasn't been in my house in years. I say fluttering because my visual perspective could be analagous to that of one of those flippy books... the image is changing but the subtle difference in overlap causes a lack of "visual stillness" for lack of a better term. I move towards the front wall and try to go through it with the intention of being outdoors. I am unsuccessful after several attempts. I decided to open the window and screen and man did that feel realistic. I somehow step through the window and find myself on a grassland which I quickly lossed sight of. I asked for clarity but the OBE ended and I woke up.

I have to note that I was on my stomach and my left forearm was tucked under it during. Maybe someone can verify this, but my body seems to be more sensitive to physical pressure during OBE. It sort of felt like someone grabbed the left side of my stomach and was ripping into it. I mean it wasn't THAT painful but it was definitely bothersome. Any questions, comments, and insight is much appreciated thanks!

Astral316 Congrats and thanx for posting your OBE accounts.

Yes, any physical stimulus (including loud bothersome noises) during an OBE can cause the consciousness to shift back to the physical and that can potentially end the OBE. Unfortunately there is not a whole lot that a person can do about it. Trying to ignore annoying irritations usually works, at least to some extent. Fortunately physical annoyances only happen occasionally.

Sounds like a nice OBE.  Anyway, I think now you should focus on controlling your intensions, moving about, etc.  Try to not get over indulgent in what you see too.  Else, you might just end up running down a regular dream.  Anyway, what you said about physical body impacting the experience is similar to experiencs I have had.  Anyway, the tunnel part was very nice to hear too.  Initially, I did not see it as tunnels.  I would zoon up through the celing and look at the ground as I went higher into space... wonderous feeling.  Anyway, there are lots of neat things to try, like asking guides questions, etc.  Sorry, my fingers are tire of typing ....  Good luck...
