So last night I only got about 3 hours of sleep until I had to wake up for my morning class. After class I was really tired so a I laid back down to get some sleep. I hadn't been able to visualize or work with my bodies energy for some time (it just stopped out of nowhere when I stopped doing drugs, smoking weed, etc What a bummer!) so I decided to do the pineal gland opening chant (Thoh) before passing out in hopes that it would come back. About 3 minutes later the vibrations came on strong. With my eyes closed and the vibrations in full effect I saw two spheres intersecting each other rotating in opposite direction. I saw a face in the center of the sphere which then set off a vortex effect sucking me into it (usually how an OBE begins for me). What happened next was less of an OBE but more like a lucid dream. Bare with me here, its got very weird fast. The face that sucked me into the vortex welcomed me into a room on the other side of the vortex. Inside the room, to the best of my recollection, was a midget version of ron jeremy wrestling another midget (small person..whatever) while a group of people were yelling and throwing money placing bets on who would win. I remember crying laughing at the scene unfolding before my eyes (it felt so real!) The face that welcomed me into the room then lead me to another door and another door etc until i was back in my room. At this point I thought I was awake. I got out of my bed, walked out to my car, grabbed my school bag and brought it back to my room. Next thing I know the alarm I set before the initial nap woke me up. I was really confused because I thought I had already been awake for some time. I looked next to my bed where I expected my book bag to be but it wasn't there. This was by far the nuttiest dream experience I have ever had. Also the first dream ive remembered in about 4 months. I have no idea what to make of the whole experience, any insight as to what this was would be appreciated (and no i was not on drugs, ive been sober for 2 weeks now) thanks for reading.

(I've never Astral Projected before today. I've read books on AP, read through the forums, and meditate daily so I'm familiar with most of the techniques. The thing is I think my first AP happened today, while I was awake, without using any of the technique I've read.)

I woke up for work around 5am this morning and got back home around 12. I was pretty tired so I passed out for 2 hours. I woke up around 2 but decided to lay in my bed a little longer with my eyes closed. During this period I was laying on my stomach thinking about my grandpa that had just recently passed away and how i wished I could see him again. All of the sudden I started feeling an intense energy course through my body. Then while my eyes were still closed I saw a vortex. It's kind of hard to explain, but the vortex seemed to pull my spirit out of my physical body (I openly embraced the vortex). It was really frightening at first but for some reason I knew I would be able to return to my body when I was ready. As I traveled further into the vortex I began to feel weightless, as If I were now pure energy disassociated from my physical body.The transition from physical to ethereal was like nothing I've ever felt before, pure ecstasy.  That's as far as I could get though. As much as I wish I could say I saw the astral realm I think I was too afraid to go too far from my physical body. I repeated the process of leaving my body about 3-4 times in the same session (probably lasted about ten minutes) All I had to do was imagine the vortex and I could achieve an OBE.

Has anyone else seen the vortex I described?

So last week I'm laying in my bed trying to AP. I did my standard meditation process (Deep breathing, individually relax each part of my body, channel energy *vibrations* throughout my body etc) I haven't successfully AP'ed yet but I laid there in deep state of relaxation just enjoying all of the different sensations I was feeling throughout my body. I tried to do the rope method, but couldn't quite make the exit. Without getting frustrated or breaking my trance I laid there and started asking for spiritual guidance to help me ascend from the physical plane. (I know it sounds crazy but i didn't expect any kind of response, it was purely an experiment) I was persistent in my plead (for about 5min) the next thing i know the vibrations in my body are going crazy (pleasant though) and I feel a presence. It was neither a good or bad presence, it was very neutral. Then a woman appeared above my bed, she didnt look like anyone i'd ever met (physically). She was a brunette women, wearing a green dress (possibly just a green aura), with laurels in her hair. She never made a facial expression or said anything, she just kind of hovered over my bed staring at me. I remember feeling really giddy at this point thinking my plead had been answered (I still get chills thinking about it) but nothing ever came from it. I tried communicating through yes or no questions. If it was a yes i would feel an intense but pleasant vibration or if it was a no i felt nothing (at least that's what it felt like to me) I haven't seen her since but I know I wasn't dreaming. It's been about a week and a half since the experience but I can still picture her vividly. Just curious if anyone else has had a similar experience.

*Update* I looked more into spirit guides, and came across one called Gaia. Some of the images I saw of her looked exactly like what I had seen in the experience above before I even knew about her, trippy
