Hey everyone! I know I haven't posted in quie some time but I haven't really had much to say, but I have been reading everything on here. I have been trying to project for probably almost a year now with no luck except for a very short lucid dream.  Well, recently, after I'm about 10 or 15 minutes into my meditation, I start to hear different wierd sounds that actually seem VERY real, but I'm actually in perfect silence.  The sounds come as many things, sometimes wierd music and sometimes even voices.  I think it might be just me imagining things, but I can only hope its some sort of connection with the astral.  When they start to get a little too real I've been making myself tune back in with the real world and hear that theres nothing but silence.  Anyone know what this is?
thanks,
Kosmo

Hey guys, I have been trying to OBE for some time now with no success...  however I have had one lucid dream.  But anyways, I find these tactile imaging methods very challenging, because I am a very visual person.  My visualization skills are great, and I was wondering if there were any methods out there that could take advantage of this.  Any feedback would be great.  Thank you,

Hey, last night/this morning I had a really wierd experience.  I was sound asleep, and apparently I started dreaming.  It was a normal dream of me walking down a sidewalk, when I suddenly started thinking about an article I read hear about lucid dreams.  At that moment I started having control over the dream, only I was seeing myself in third person.  I remember in the article you had to think about flying to fly, so I tried to jump really high.  I tried as hard as i could to fly but i just ended up jumping fairly high and landing back on the ground.  I can barely remember this dream, and I tried hard to remember it.  Was this a lucid dream? If so any suggestions on how to do it again only better? Thanks for reading!

Hey.  Last night I was SOO close to having an OBE.  I had been meditating for about an hour and just starting slipping in and out of sleep.  Then,  I finally gathered control of my thoughts while in the light trance, and began imagining myself climbing the rope.  With this, my body started tingeling all over.  I was SURE this was the "vibrations" I have heard so much about.  Then, I could feel my Astral body lifting out of my Physical one.  I felt like I was floating above my body.  But, I couldn't get Astral vision.  I felt like I was floating, but couldnt see it. It was very disappointing, and these feelings brought be back down into my body, and I eventually just got out of the trance.  Then, I walked upstairs, and saw something move outside, walked out, and saw my brother there.  Seeing him is something I normally wouldn't have done.  Please give me some help with attaining Astral vision please..

Hey, I have just resently gotton into my first trance (about 10 minutes before I sat down to write this).  I found it very mind exhausting to stay in this state with my mind awake but my body asleep.  Is this normal?  In fact, it was so mind exhausting that I could hardly concentrate on "climbing the rope".  What can I do to fix this?  Thanks for reading, hope you reply

Hey, I have been meditating for short periods of time about twice a day now, and I have been experiencing this "flexing" sensation that i can control.  It seems like im flexing certain parts of my body, only my physical body isnt actually moving at all.  The reason I think this is Chakra activity, is because it starts in the area where the "base" Chakra would be, and goes throughout the upper part of my body.  Every time I mentally "flex" a tingeling sensation goes through me.  What is this?  Is it Chakra activity or something else?  Someone help.. thanks

Hello, I'm 13 years old, and don't worry.. I'm alot more mature then that other kid who keeps posting... heh.  Well I have been having some trouble having an OBE.  I get to a point of total relaxation by imagining hands massaging me and once I'm relaxed, I begin to more tingle then vibrate...  Then, I try to "pull" my Astral self out of my physical body using an invisible rope or ribbon.  It is at this point in which I just can't manage to get out.  On my second try, I awoke, and could not tell if I was in reality, or in the Astral plane, because everything was in a yellow hue, but I soon found out I was in the real world.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

okay ill do a search thank you very much

Ahh thank you so much Nay!  This is exactly what I was looking for.  I am off to try this right now .  Glad to hear that someone else is the same way.

Thank you! That helps alot! I'm off to go try it! []

Sorry, I can't really help you then.  I don't know much about the subject, I'm pretty new to it.  Maybe someone else more experienced will reply and help you out.[V]

Depends... It sounds quite like a normal dream especially since you didn't have any control over it.  Were you viewing the dream from first person view or from above or somewhere?

Hey, don't worry your not the only one who can hear that whistling noise.  I think everyone can... I can hear it while I'm fully concious.  

Thank you, that helped alot.  I think I actually was in a deep trance, because my body felt like it was "twisted up".  A bit hard to explain, but it was quite uncomfortable.  Thank you again for your help.

Ya, I'm pretty sure it was a trance.  I think it was, because while I was trying to slip into it, I must have fell asleep, but then I found myself laying in the blackness, and I had the "heavy" feeling in my body, but I found it very hard not to get excited.  Eventruly, I couldn't help having some excited feelings and it ruined the trance.

Hello, and thanks for the replies.  I know this sounds a bit strange but I think i can explain it.  For instance, flex your arm right now.  Now, while I'm meditating,  I get the feeling that my body is "flexing" like that, only my body isnt actually flexing at all, it just feels like it.  I was wondering if it had anything to do with my Chakras, because if it doesn't then it is just a distraction, and I will stop, and continue to try to project.  Can someone help?  Thanks for reading

Hey, it's me again and I need one last little bit of help.. I read all your posts and they helped alot, thanks so much.  But I have been having trouble getting into a trance lately because right as I am about to slip in, my left eye starts spasming uncontrolably.  It sometimes causes my eye to open, therefore ruining the trance.  At first I thought I was seeing through my eyelids as described by many, but it was just the spasming opening up the eye.  Does anyone else experience this? Is there any way to correct it?  Post with some idea's plzz!  

Thanks so much,
Kosmo

Thank you, that's not jibberish at all, it helps.  I'm going to try that tonight.  I agree with you completely.  I was trying to "force" myself out.  But I have a question for you experienced people... When I was trying to project, I was sort of "flexing" my body trying to get out and it provided a tingeling sensation.  I could have sworn my physical self was flexing, but it was not.  Is this a good or bad thing?  

Thanks,
Kosmo

Hey, thanks for all the great suggestions. I plan on trying alot of that tonight (it seems to work better for me after I eat and take a shower).  No, I was not asleep, I think I may have been in a light trance.  I felt some of the heaviness in my body but it was not parylized.  I suddenly awoke because of some slight disturbance, however it felt very powerful.  Now I understand about the yellow hue..(Thanks)  I was also wondering if I could purchase Bruce's book in a local bookstore (I live in Virginia,USA).  I have read most of his treatise now, and am hungry for more.. lol.  Thanks for all the suggestions I really appreciate them.
