Hi all,

I've already been posting here but never stopped to say hi!  I'm very interested in this subject.

I used to LD all the time when I was younger and if I even get back to being able to do that, I will consider it an awesome blessing.

Looking back, I think I even had an OBE once... Here's what happened:

It started out like a normal LD, except instead of being in the normal cartoon/comic book style world my dreams were usually in, it was just outside my apartment complex.  I was standing in my parking lot, when some sort of space craft landed near me.  The pilot of the craft wanted to take me to another star.  One weird thing about this pilot was that I couldn't look at him.  It was like he was beyond where my eyes could see even though he was right in front of me... weird.  So, anyways I got onboard the craft and we went to this 'star'.  When we arrived, it was an exact copy of my apartment complex we had left from, only it was day instead of night.  

I walked around the complex a little while... An old woman invited me into her apartment.  There was something about her I didn't like... I felt like she wanted something from me.  She had what looked like a crystal ball and she was insisting that I sat down with her and looked into the crystal with her.  I also didn't have the same level of control I usually had in LD's... at this point it felt as though the old woman was in control.  I ran away from the old woman's apartment and ran into my real-life best friend.  He was helping the old woman!  Every time I would run down a path, he would materialize in front of me and stop me.  At this point I flew up to where I thought my 'home star' would be and woke up.  

At the time, I just thought of this as another LD/nightmare... but now I think it may have been an OBE... what do you all think?

Some time ago, I became interested in OBE... mainly because I used to have frequent lucid dreams during childhood and the concept intrigued me.  Just about the time I became curious about having OBE's, I had a type of dream I had always called a 'teaching dream'.  Whether it's a dream with my guide(s) or my higher self I don't know.  When I was little, I would often learn how to do things in my dreams.  I learned how to read mainly in dreams.  

Anyways, in this 'teaching dream', I stated that I wished to learn how to OBE.  The response was a single question.  "Why?"  I had no idea how to answer it.  If there was a right answer or not.  The best I've come up with is because I'm curious.

I'm throwing this out there because I was wondering if any of you had a better idea of how to tackle the question of "Why?"

Hi all,

I just finished day 4 of MAP.  It says that after the toe work the sensations can be quite strong.  I haven't felt anything extraordinarily strong though.  I can feel my awareness moving up and down my toes.  It feels a bit like a sock being put on and taken off over and over again.  Also, it kind of happens of it's own accord after the first time I do the exercises...

My question is, should I be worried that the sensations haven't been very great?  Does this mean I need more practice until I feel something more powerful?
