Weird morning..

[Pritchmr]

So this morning I remember having a dream and then becoming conscious and I was laying on my side and could feel the vibrations... I waited through them and then could feel my astral body start to float so I tried to move and I couldn't see. Then I was back in my physical body. I layer there again and felt it happen again... I waited for the vibrations... The. I tried to move, couldn't see and asked for astral vision... I started using my physical body to talk... (am I supposed to say it in my head?) either way it woke me up... I rolled over and saw my boyfriend, he got up and got ready for work... I fell asleep I assume.  I woke up later in the morning and was confused because he always wakes me up to say goodbye and give me a kiss. I texted him and he says I got up gave him a kiss and said goodbye... I remember none of it... I also remember at one point being conscious in the morning and having a feeling of either great fear or excitement.... T
But that is it.... Ayone know why I can't remember the morning? Really really odd to me...

it sounds to me like you had a very brief OOBE and that your subconscious gave your boyfriend a kiss because your mind was focused on other things.

in the future speak in your mind that is the fastest way to get responses in the astral!

hope this helps!

Wait, you got vibes while laying on your SIDE? 

*JEALOUS*

But more on the topic at hand.  First let me say that the last time I had some sort of OBE situation (about a week ago), I got serious vibes and could feel my hands floating.  I couldn't control them.  I lost all memory of the event from that point forward the INSTANT I applied an exit technique.

Through some reading I have done on this, I found that I did actually have what was probably a very successful OBE.  The memories that your astral body creates (sometimes referred to as 'shadow memories') are much more difficult to remember than those of your physical body, most likely because your astral consciousness is "further removed" from your physical brain (where accessible memories are stored) than your physical consciousness is.  Some think that if you do not concentrate pretty hard on recalling your astral experiences right before you re-enter your physical body, you are more likely to forget them completely.

So when you think that you had some pretty serious signs of an OBE but can't remember anything past the symptoms, take it for granted that you did in fact have a successful OBE.  Your next task is to practice dream recall to strengthen your mind's natural ability to recall dream/astral events.

Thank you guys... I'm just so confused... Maybe I was astral projecting and just couldn't remember... I get so confused... Cause I feel like once the vibes are over and I feel my astral body come free... But I can't see anything and try to move then just wake up... I love AP but it's all so confusing.

Try reading Astral Dynamics by Robert Bruce and Astral Projection and The Nature of Our Reality by (I forgot the author's name).  Both offer a lot of insight to the way the astral realm and astral projection work.  You will find a lot of answers to your questions!

Good luck in your future endeavors

I've done this too...several times. You should feel doubly jealous.

Why wouldn't someone be able to experience vibrations on their side? Not that I do, or maybe I do, but I didn't think it was important?

Thank you guys, I'm working on Our Ultimate Reality at the moment, and I have Astral Dynamics. So I'll move to his book after.... Thank you all very much.

The vibrations on my side are different than the ones on my back...  I don't know if it really matters? I generally experience the ones on my side because I sleep most often in that position, the ones when I'm on my back are way more intense, and astral noise tends to accompany the ones on my back, where as the ones on my side I just feel the vibrations.

I dunno, I've never had any luck on my side.  I read somewhere too that it's just not conducive to OBEs.  The author wrote that he specifically lays on his side to *avoid* OBEs, like when he needs a lot of rest.  Probably in one of the two books I mentioned above since I'm reading them right now.  I always have to lay on my back if I am to have any hope at success, which is very uncomfortable for me

That's funny.  I lay on my right side to avoid them too, when I don't want to have any 'effects', just sleep.
Goes to show everyone is different.
