Thank you much for your replies. I'll try to reach that state again sometime without the use of drugs and post back with what I felt may be different or the same.

Again, thanks.

I hate to say that I was, but I do agree with you, too. I'll try to get there without the use of weed. I don't want to get the reputation of being a pot-head, because that is definitely not the case. I guess I was curious if this ever happened to anyone else though, or if I'm on the right track.

Thank you for your response!

Hello everyone.

Before I move on with my post, I'd like to just briefly say hello. I am new here to the forums, so forgive me if I have posted this topic in the incorrect area. I don't really have much information to share about myself that I think would be of use regarding my topic, so I will move on now. Oh, and I will mention that I have trouble sorting my thoughts, so if my post seems scrabbled, forgive me again. 

Just recently, I'd say about 3 weeks ago (give or take), I became aware of the subject of Astral Travel. I forgot exactly how I found out about it. I think I was just surfing through YouTube videos and happened to land upon it. Anyways, I was just fascinated with the idea, not to mention almost terrified, too. After reading about it some more, I decided that I would try to project myself. I still wasn't comfortable with it, so I wanted to read up on it more before I committed to doing it. To this day, I am still not completely comfortable with it, but I continue to read accounts of travel from other members.

Now this is where my story may get a little confusing, so bear with me. I don't know if anyone here is against the use of marijuana, but the other night, I smoked it once. I've smoked it occasionally before, but this time was the first time I've done it since learning about Astral Projection. The "high" started out normally, from what I'm used to. I don't smoke weed often, so I'm not used to different stuff, and I am by no means an expert in the weed field. After about 20 minutes, if my sense of time was correct, I started to just stare off into space. Sometimes I was able to stop myself from staring, but other times I could hear my friends talking, but I was unable to stop my daze. I'd imagine this was just from the high I was experiencing, but maybe I am wrong. About another time minutes later, it started to get really weird. I was still conscious, but I felt like time was slowing down. Every time someone would talk to me, my mind felt like it was going through scenarios about what to say back. It felt like I could picture in my mind a bunch of TV screens, and each screen showed a different scenario of how to respond to what my friends were saying to me. I'm not sure if that is normal with weed, because like I said, I don't smoke it often. Maybe I was just really high, I don't know.

Again, about 10 minutes later, I decided to go to sleep. I've been up since 7 in the morning, and at this time it was about 10:30 at night. I was laying on my friends couch, when I felt my body start to vibrate. It started off slowly, but over the next few minutes (which seemed like hours) the vibrations became stronger. They finally reached what seemed to be their peek at the time, but then I felt a new sense of vibrations. These new vibrations came in a pattern, while the original vibrations were still going on. The new vibrations seemed to jump from the bottom of my chest, to my left arm, to the top of my chest, and back to my right arm. Maybe they were going in the opposite direction, I don't recall too well. But, at this point, I became aware that maybe I was going into a drug-induced OBE. I didn't know what to do though, so I just tried focusing on the vibrations. Unfortunately, there were other people in the room while I was trying to do all of this, so it was hard to focus. After awhile, I succumbed to exhaustion and fell asleep.

I'm trying to think if I left any details out. If I did, I will add them in where they belong. Until then, does this seem like a plausible subconscious attempt at getting me into the Astral plane? I don't know if it was a guide trying to help me out, or if the marijuana was just really strong. I could swear I felt these vibrations, but when I opened my eyes, I did not see my body vibrating. The only thing I noticed was both of my arms twitching, I think.

Again, forgive me if you got lost somewhere in my story. I have a hard time describing things over the internet, ha. And trying to describe this seems almost impossible.

Thank you for reading.
