Congrats on your success. My history was the same as yours. i tried for a while and finally lost track of attempts. it became, DARE I SAY IT, boring and annoying at the constant failures. Then one night, after a hard day at work, i laid down to sleep. I was asleep for about 7 hours when I feel grass under my feet and the warmth of the sun on my face. But the situation was odd. Just like your first experience, mine was caused in a weird way. i was using a toilet in my front yard that OBVIOUSLY was not there. Go ahead and laugh, i can wait....
ANYWAY... I glanced at my hands and they melted into nothingness. That sent a jolt of reality to my brain. i basically WOKE up while out of body. I know for a fact that i was wide awake OOB because I started experiment with things i had read about here and in Astral Dynamics. I attempted jumping with a bit of luck. I was able to jumped about 15 feet upwards. Then I tried to fly, feeling myself levetate off the ground. Not much luck. I jumped up onto a neighbors roof and started viewing my neighborhood. The sun had just risen into view. Soon i felt myself fall off the roof and land back in my bed. i sat up, caught the bed, and wrote it all down. Congrats
