hey guys, been a while since ive been on here and im back with a question.

every time i go out of body and look back on the bed expecting to see myself lying there,, well im not there. just an empty bed! any ideas why this is? also on a number of occasions i wandered around my house and found items that dont exist there. stupid things like a 12pack of 7up kinda stupid.. what ye think?

what do i do with my arms during the day, nothing unusual i guess! once i was drinking for 3 days (festival ,, im not an alcoholic haha) the day after my right arm had pins and needles for most of the day! thats the only way i can relate to what you said really. also im 23 and fairly* fit so (hopefully) i shouldnt have that kind of problem as you said.

i had a few spontanious OBEs since i first posted this thread, and i just had the normal messed up and well sometimes frankly terrifying experiences but no dead arms so it only seems to happen when i try to induce the state through meditation.

actually i got BEAT UP in an obe the other night!!!?? this ever happen anybody?? i was dreaming that i was in this hostel in france, and i was trying to go to sleep (in my dream) but kept getting SP (also in my dream!) and then there were these entities in the room wanting to hurt me, i rolled out of my body that was out of my body and started to run after them to let them know i wasnt afraid of them! but then they kicked my butt... haha, weird huh??!! i woke up shouting in my room! strange one i must say. dreams within dreams and my subconcious kicking my concious butt,,, maybe im just going insane eh!

ya, completely physical. just its funny that it happens to people in that position

hey, i wasnt expecting to get so many replies - cheers!

well it was both my arms, but big time with my right arm. the left snapped back into normality much quicker. i was sitting in my office chair - tall back, reclines a bit. both arms on the arm rests. i wasnt constricting blood flow in any way that i can thing of! No pain, just numbness and tingling. For everything to return to normal i guess it took around 4 - 5 minutes roughly.  but id lean to agree with Xanth and CFTraveler, i never sleep in my chair, so if the chair wasnt the problem, or at least a part of it, wouldnt my arms be numb every time i wake up in the morning. Next time i try to OBE i reckon i'll just do it from bed I never had this problem when project the ,eh, natural way or spontaneous way.. if thats how you could put it

Actually its interesting to see that more than one have experienced the exact same thing in the same position. And Xanth and CFTraveler, are ye're arms numb for a while after ye get up?

Blue Tone, thats nuts! i hope thats not happening to me!!

actually ya, i forgot to metion that i was sitting at my desk in pretty much the same position as you described. maybe we relax so much we slow down our heart rate and our blood flow or something to that nature? Either way i dont think thats very healthy for us! Going to have to come up with a new approach i reckon

hey guys, how are all
The other night was the first time i decided to try and induce an Obe as apposed to letting it happen through sleep paralysis. So i was there for about 20 minutes or so and felt myself in a trance. My entire body felt like a solid brick. i felt like i was surrounded in padding. So much so that i couldnt distinguish where one finger ended and the other started if you know what i mean. But anyway, i figured it wasnt going to work after the 20 minutes so i snapped myself out of it and got up. But my right arm especially was completely numb! after 2 or 3 minutes it started to get tingly and feeling returned to it after that. But i wasnt lying on it, or putting pressure of any sort on it!
Anybody else experience this? It makes me not want to try again to be honest. It doesnt sound right like. What do ye guys think?
Thanks!
