I don't really think that consulting a doctor is a good idea. I can just imagine the look on doctor's face if I said "I have ear ringing when I attempt to leave my physical body". 

I have to admit though, that this ringing is actually kinda useful, as it tells me that I am getting close to a successfil projection. However, I am still a little bit usnure about it. If these sounds are physical, and I don't really believe that they aren't, then aren't they as likely to damage my hearing as any other loud noise?

This happens every time I try to project. I lay down, relax and eventually I start hearing a high pitch ringing sound in my ears. The closer I am to a successful projection, the louder it gets, to the point of being nearly painful. Most of the time I ignore it, but last night I actually stopped my projection attempt, because I was afraid that it might damage my hearing.

I am 100% sure that it's not Tinnitus, since the ringing stops as soon as I stop trying to project. I also never experience ear ringing during my normal activities.

Why does it happen? Should I be worried that it might damage my hearing, or should I just ignore it?

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Thank you for responses! I guess all I have to do is to increase my lucidity in dreams and see what I can do from there. I'm gonna keep trying.

Also, thank you for the useful map Lionheart, but it seems you mistyped the url. Here is the correct url in case someone stumbles upon this topic and wants to take a look at it:

My english is still far from perfect, so forgive me for any gramatical errors that I might make. I have to admit, I am a skeptic when it comes to OOBEs, but I want to give it a shot and see for myself wether or not it is real.

So far I've had two experiences that definetly were either OOBEs or some kind of dreams/hallucinations. I would be really grateful if someone could give me some feedback about that.

Before my first experience I heard loud, nearly painful buzzing in my ears. When I got out, I felt myself laying on my bed but at the same time floating above it, but that feeling passed away quickly. I couldn't see, but I've read about that issue, so I just said to myself "Open your eyes!" and it worked. I found myself floating in another room, unable to land down, but eventually I landed using the same method as with opening my eyes. That's when the experience ended, I probably fell asleep at that point.

Second experience I've had was more under conttrol, it lasted much longer and ended when I wanted it to end. Although, I am fairly certain it was just a lucid drem. This time I also heard a loud buzzing noise except i kept hearing it occassionally for a few seconds during the experience. This time I paid more attention to the surroundings. My room looked a little bit different than it really looks. There were some furniture that aren't in the room, as well as well as some other items like alarm clocks etc. Also, my bed was empty, I didn't see myself laying there. I didn't check my room during my first experience though. I alsto tried to wake my mother, who was sleeping in anither room up, unsuccessfully. She mentioned something about having a weird dream the next day, though that was probably just a coincidence.

During both experiences it looked like it was day, even though they happened in the middle of the night. My body also looked normal, while many people who projected said that their body looked slightly different and was transparent. There was no sign of silver coord being attached to my body.

Wether or not these experiences were lucid dreams and not OOBEs, I am still willing to give it a shot, maybe I was just unlucky. Although I would be really grateful if someone could comment on that. Thank you in advance!
