Unable to communicate, a little frustrating

[smooth]

Hello all, its been a while!

So I've found a method that works the best for me to have an OBE and I've been doing it more often because of this. To my frustration, when I leave my body I can't speak at all. When I start talking my mouth feels like its glued shut and it sounds like I'm mumbling. I've "ran" into a few entities while out and I was told to try and speak to them and find out who they are but I can't speak! Last week I had a little boy in my room that ran up next to my bed as I left. I tried asking who he was but he looked extremely nervous and ran away. However a long while back a man was next to my then recently deceased dog and I asked him who he was and he pointed to my dog then smiled at me and gave me thumbs up. It was like he knew what I was trying to say or I wanted to say with his expressions.

Any pointers would be awesome!

Hi Smooth,

Im sorry but I haven't had any luck with an OBE yet so I dont have any helpful advice.
What I read was that people dont communicate verbally in the astral though, but mentally. Maybe thats just at a different focus though.

I wanted to ask though, which method are you using to project?

Your probably right, now that you've said that I remember reading that somewhere also. I'll give it a shot next time for sure!

As far as my method, I'm not using any text book methods that I've read before but I'm sure there are plenty that are similar. I find that trying to have an OBE before I go to bed is very difficult because I usually fall asleep. But I have had plenty after waking up during the night, usually I wake up during sleep paralysis for some reason. What I found works best for me is to take a nap during the day on my couch. This way I'm not super tired and with me lying on the couch I'm not as comfortable as I would be lying in my bed. I lay there with having an OBE on my mind the whole time, I "mentally" start swaying my body left and right and you will start feeling it after a couple minutes if you're really concentrating.  I will more often than not fall into sleep paralysis and from there its very easy to leave and the best way to describe it I just roll out. Also I should note that 70% of the time I fall asleep and wake up to strong vibrations while in paralysis.

Thanks for the tip!
ill give that a shot next time.

Usually when I try at night I end up either falling asleep or I'm just too tired to keep it up and go to sleep.

Good luck!

Hello...Chris.

Communication in the nonphysical is entirely different from communication in the physical. In the nonphysical, you communicate by sending and receiving energy (thought).

As Firmitas said, you just think what you want to say with the intention of the person you're talking to receiving the message. If they can, they will receive your message in whatever way is more acceptable to them.

You have no mouth for which to "talk" with.
You also have no vocal chords for which to "create sound" with.
There is no air in the non-physical for which to reverberate to transmit your "sound" with.

Give Chris' post above mine a read.  He's got it spot on.

One more thing to add:  If you insist on trying to talk you return your attention to your body and the dual input will make the projection heavy and murky.  You don't want that.

Yep, so right CF.

I find when I'm pretty darn scared in a dream, be it lucid or not, when I start yelling, my physical does the yelling too.  My husband just the other morning had to wake me up because I was in obvious distress.  He said he couldn't tell what I was saying, and I told him what I said.  I was calling out for someone to help me..well, actually I was saying, "oh god, help me"  I was in a nasty dark house, paralyzed on the floor and there was something coming at me and I was helpless to stop it.   I was thankful he heard me because I was too far gone to think logically and calm down. 

[CFTraveler]

It's good that he heard you.  I hate those where the panic isn't logical, and you just can't think.  I'm lucky it's been a while since I've had one of those.

[Naykid]

I know, right!?  I felt like such a bonehead and a baby once he woke me up and I was a tad embarrassed too. The thing that was coming at me.... wasn't there.  I had no visual on it, it was ALL emotion and feelings.  I think I would have preferred a visual at least then I could put a face on my fear.

Wow thanks for all the help! Its funny you say that trying to talk will bring attention back to your physical body. I was lying in bed with an ex girlfriend and I was trying to speak while out and she woke me up and said i was talking in my sleep. There has been maybe three times where I've returned back to my body while trying to talk. I will give all your tips a shot!
