Weird, at the beginning of a lucid dream i had i couldnt hardly breathe at all. Maybe i was projecting.
So yeah, you might be getting close.

Thats just imagination.

When i try astral projection, i lay on my back. Now, i cannot under know circumstance get to sleep on my back. Would this be a good thing ? Because it assures that i wont fall asleep, or a bad thing because ill never be able to go hypnopompic ? If its the latter, should i try and get used to sleeping on my back ?

Tvos, thanks alot for your very detailed responce, ill definitely give that a try.

Sorry to double post but... what technique do you use tvos ? Ive seen your post, something about rolling out of your bed ?

Hmm, ok man seems like a good idea, ill try that.

It seems like a lot of work ? Possibly why i cant project then, any tips on how i should "tone it down" ?

I havent managed to get out yet either, but heres what it try: I lay down in bed on my back with palms facing up along side of my body. I breathe in for 5 seconds, hold it for 3 and exhale for 5. In through nose, out through mouth. I then on the inhale imagine im on a ladder, but dont move down the ladder until i get to the exhale, when i go down approx. 5 steps. i keep doing this and keep my eyes open just over the coveres a tiny bit, then it seems weird to try and close my eyes, because they feel resistent. I feel a tiny bit numb, but most of the time hardly anything happens. After a while of doing that i imagine a rope at my chest and i imagine me climbing up the rope in the same blackness that i imagined the ladder to be. After a while i stop, because nothing happens apart from i seem to twitch and move a bit while im climbing the ladder.

Hi
Midlands...

Is there a link you could give me which sends me to franks stuff on phasing ?

Thanks guys

Hi guys ! I've been checking this forum for about a day and i love it, so i have decided to finally register here. I'm pretty new to astral projection, and a technique for projection that Ive been hearing alot around here is the "rope" technique. Now, i know that you are supposed to lay down and imagine that a rope is dangling round about your chest, but from there I'm stuck. Am i supposed to visualize my self grabbing the rope with, lets say- "spirit" hands ? Or do i just need to visualize my own hands grabbing the robe. Second, do i need to visualize me climbing the rope to my ceiling and beyond, or instead of visualizing going up, do i need to visualize me pulling down on the rope but staying where i am ?
Any tips appreciated, Xiaolin.
