I've only been out completely a couple of times and they were pretty short, but it felt very real in the sense that you were aware of everything, but as it goes on it's almost impossible for me to concentrate. It's always pretty quiet and creepy for me, also. Like, deserted.

Yes, I'll try to give it a rest. It's been a huge whirlwind of OBE's and lucid dreams for me as of late, I haven't really been given a choice, but now I can bring on the vibes at will and I've been doing it everytime I can sit or lay long enough.
For me, there's no techniques, there's only forcing myself to get to that point where you're basically asleep, but you know what's going on and it's smooth sailing from there...gah, two years of practice and dedication are finally paying off.

Hm...something about jaw-clenching and a thank you thrown in there. I don't remember all of what I said.  

This was a few nights ago just before having an OBE, I got really heavy vibes and they were so intense they physically hurt my teeth. Even after waking fully to write the experience down in my notebook, they were sore. Is that normal for anyone else?

Also, that night I got out of my body with the intention of finding my friend Susie and attempting to pull her out. I tried the whole "Imagine their face and personality" thing, but all that happened was I was in this very cluttered living room with a white couch to the left of me and Susie was nowhere to be seen...can anyone give me tips for this kind of traveling?

Okay...last night I had a dream (after watching a wonder-tabulous episode of Conan O'Brien with Bruce Willis as the main guest) where I was sitting in a dark theater with...who else but Bruce Willis....Suddenly he turned on me and kind of started sucking my neck, vampire-style, but no pain. Quite the contrary actually, if you catch my drift. But it felt like my energy was being sucked out through my neck, but not in a way that made me tired, and I remember abruptly feeling this huge rush almost to an orgasm but before that happened I felt this was too obscene and gently pushed him away. He went willingly enough which makes me wonder if it was truly an incubus taking his form or just some jacked-up dream.  It was...disturbing to say the least.

I feel I should also mention that just before sleeping I pretty much took care of the job myself, and it was more intense than usual.

So there it is. I'm just curious if it is in fact an incubus and if I should be concerned.

I think King has an interest in about all thing's paranormal. But Insomnia seems to be the only book of his that really delves into the whole auras thing. But his other books like the Dark Tower series and MOST OF ALL the great and wonderful The Talisman are all about other-worldly travel. Both are excellent, though the Dark Tower series can be a bit dull. However, if there was one other book I'd really recommend for all the weird-butt trippers here it'd be The Talisman. That book makes me so happy.

power rangers...

Apparently not, I've asked the people who are currently residing in the living room if they've heard them screaming in the middle of the night and none of them have, even when I leave my bedroom door open. Go figure.

wow...I hope you people aren't serious. Because then I'd have to find a whole new astral projection forum. One without the...you know...painful immaturity.

Along with the other five people living in my house. Good idea.

alarms never wake me up. But if I hear a puppy scream in the middle of the night I'm wide awake. I think it's the fear of them being squished to death by the mother...

By Stephen King. Not really about AP but damned if it's not the trippiest thing I've ever read.

I've found the solution. Breed dogs. My siberian husky had six noisy puppies who wake me frequently in the night and every night thus far I've had at least one lucid dream in which I could have an OBE. I haven't been very successful staying out of my body long enough to do anything interesting because I get creeped out by the complete silence and start imagining horrible things. But last night I got out and stayed out long enough to turn my head and look right into my own face, which was absolutely fascinating. I could see every little detail, right down to this weird little black smudge on my right cheek which turned out to be smeared eyeliner when I woke up the next morning and looked in the mirror. It's completely hit me now, and any doubts I ever had about Astral Projection are gone. Now I just have to learn how to do it from a conscious state and not have to use my dreams as a crutch.

Thanks for the replies, guys. The only thing is I never choose when I project. I just happen to do it every now and then, and they're spaced very far apart. It's so completely random that it takes me by surprise so I never really have a firm objective when I do actually manage to do it. And I'm not sure I could project while sitting up, I'm a very lazy person...

I've projected about maybe 4 times for certain, and all the other times were hesitation on leaving my body. The last time I projected was a couple days ago when I separated after having heavy vibrations. I knew I was out, I just couldn't see anything clearly. It was all jumbled and very dark. So I did what I've read you're supposed to do when astral vision is weakened. I asked aloud to be able to see. It seemed to work but I had a lot of trouble moving away from my body or really even comprehending things around me. It was all a jumble. And then I suppose I fell asleep. Can anyone give me advice as to how I'm supposed to move away from my body? I've heard moving away helps you see better. But I can't keep my mind straight enough to really figure out how to move away.
