Yay!

  At last I have had an OBE again. I began to think I couldn't do it anymore because the one before this one was in October 2010! It wasn't a spontaneous one like many of my OBE's, I used the indirect method. Unfortunately when I woke up afterwards I forgot the whole second part,  I just felt the memory slipping away. Luckily I remembered the first part very well. Here it is:

I woke up and felt that I was still very sleepy, that's the sign for me to try the indirect method. So I didn't move and started to visualize that I was floating out of my body, just a few inches above and then down again. Every next time I floated a bit higher, and when I was about one foot above my body, I floated down and let myself sink through the bed. Then I shot into space with a huge speed. It was completely dark around me and I was thinking:" Hey I'm flying through the void." After a while I began to see lighter bits and colours and I flew through layers with lights and colours, higher and higher.

Then I saw a lighter spot near me and I flew towards it, but it seemed to be somewhere else when I was closer to it.  Then I changed direction too and tried again, but it kept happening so I let that go. I flew further with high speed and saw a huge star or planet that exploded. The debris of it came towards me and I felt it! Not badly, but it was the first time I felt something like that, like small pebbles hitting me. I immediately flew away, faster than the debris so I was safe. After that I can only remember that I was thinking that it was quite a long experience, longer than my previous ones. The flying part felt like approx. 10 minutes.

Thank you for reading, comments and questions are welcome.

Why does this not moving when waking up thing seem to work? I just can't get my head round why this would be an effective method.

Hallo Timandra
Yes, breaking a 6 month 'dry spell' of no OBEs is always a good thing? It could have been worse though. Once I went over two years with only 1 OBE!
It seems quite obvious that you ended up in outer space though maybe it was an astral counterpart of space and not physical space. Actual physical stars exploding (going nova) are actually quite rare so if it was physical space then you probably saw a planet blow up.
I am curious if at any time during the OBE you attempted to travel to a particular place? Or were you content to zoom about in space. Personally I would have been quite happy to stay in outer space visiting star systems and what not.

Hi Grey,

That's bad!

I don't know if it was physical or astral space, but it's not that important for me, as long as I am there!

No, it never crossed my mind, except when I wanted to go to that lighter area, but other than that I just wanted to fly on and on. I was just very happy to be flying and feeling free!

I think it is because when you wake up and feel very sleepy, the state you're in is very similar to -mind awake body asleep- and thus ideal to leave your body. Also usually I wake up from a dream, which is also a non-physical experience so everything is still in the right state to leave your body again and this time with your waking awareness.
