Hi everyone,

Last night, after I had meditated to relax my entire body and whatnot, I started to feel waves of sleep come over me.  I was laying down, and noticed how my body felt like it had sunk in my bed about 4 inches or so (specifically my right hand at first, then my body).

Soon, I felt like the entire bed (and my body) was rotating counterclockwise (so I would be flipping over).  I tried to grab my bed and prevent myself from flipping, and I felt myself remain at about a 90 degree angle almost (even though I knew if I opened my eyes I would be normal).

I had gotten pretty excited/nervous over the whole experience, and while I was still in this awkward position, I felt my physical body shaking almost uncontrollably (kind of like shivering, but I wasn't cold).

Anyway, to me, (and from what Ive read on these forums, it sounds like it may have been a small form of vibrations).  The reason why I have doubt is because I felt "too awake" in a sense.  I thought I would have had to been in an almost "sleeping" state.  Eventually, I just got up and got a drink of water (my whole body was tingling and numb).

My questions are (and I am new to this, so please bear with me):

Would these be considered vibrations (or at least small ones)?

I have read about how to go from vibrations to an OBE, but I feel that when I had whatever i experienced, there was nothing I could do to get out of that state (besides just opening my eyes and ending it).  Any tips?


Thanks, and I apologize for the lengthy post.

Hi everyone,

I wasn't sure exactly where to put this topic, but since I am looking to have obe's as my ultimate goal, I put it here.

First off, I've just started reading about astral projection and OBE's a few days ago.  Right now, I'm not even really attempting to get to the OBE, rather, I am just practicing on meditating and really concentrating.  

Anyway, last night, I was concentrating on my breathing (I was trying to imaging breathing in clean, blue air, and breathing out bad, smoggy air), and it was working successfully.  Granted, I had many interruptions (as I am still a novice), but I was able to stop most of them.

After about 10 minutes or so I felt my feet falling asleep.  My question is, was this from the meditation? or could it have just been because they were tired?  I had been driving most of the day, so they were tired to begin with, but is this the sort of feelings and "numbness" I should expect through my entire body as I progress?

Eventually, I couldn't take my mind off my sleeping feet (it actually went all the way to the knee), and lost concentration, so I just went to sleep instead.

Thanks, and sorry for the long post.
