Thanks for that. I had a feeling it was too vauge, but at the same time felt I wrote too much. I will say, I practice most of the time before I typically go to bed. Once I get home from work, I know that if I take a nap, I'm not getting back up, or if I do, I'll have trouble falling asleep that night. I'll experiment with the different timings of the night.

On another note, I have developed the habit of basically talking my self into it. Repeatedly telling my self that I will/want to experience one and that it will be safe and enjoyable.

As for the dream journal, I'll start one up. I've tossed the idea around, but for whatever reason never gave it full thought.

Thanks again for your constructive advice.

Well it seems everyone has a story, so here's mine.

I had my first obe experience when I was a teenager. A buddy of mine stayed the night one night, he talked my ear  off. Trying to pay attention to him next thing I remember hearing what to me sounded like screaming and popping noises and quickly woke up. That sparked my curiosity.

Fast forward to two years ago, I started getting night terrors almost every other night for weeks. I'd come home from work exhausted, lay down and almost instantly pass out. They were your typical everything is black, can't move, can't scream, wake up soaked in sweat.

On to now, I've built up the curiosity to try to have an obe. I've been browsing this forum and taking bits and pieces from other people and applying it to myself. No real luck. I've tried listening to wave lengths via headphones, tried different types of exits, and even different mind sets. I find my self getting bummed out about an hour and a half into it and give up. I see the different visuals, even feel slight vibrations, but that's about as far as I get. I've found my self wanting to project so bad that sometimes my physical body moves in the way I want my astral body to move.

So I guess this is a sort of "please point me in the right direction" post. I don't expect this to be the easiest thing, but I'm in 7th month of trying on almost a nightly baises and I'm really feeling defeated. Thanks all who took the time to read and any help you can provide me.

tl;dr
Had an experience when I was younger.
Had night terrors for several nights.
Want to project, no luck, please help.
