I barely remember a lovely memory in which I was with my family gathered at home watching the 1990 world cup final between West Germany and Argentina. Also, sometimes I remember a very faint memory of me holding a small plastic cow toy, putting it close to my nose and smelling the plastic its made of. That last one might be in a younger age (5 years old maybe). Is it possible to re-live such memories during an OBE?

Hi every body. Just wanted to share an unusual experience I had. I was sleeping as normal, losing awareness completely. I started to dream and I was lying in a bed in my parents' house (which exists in real world). My wife and daughter were lying beside me in the same bed. I closed my eyes and decided to attempt an OBE or a LD while lying on my back in the bed. I relaxed and closed my eyes and i started to feel the symptoms of an exit/separation. I floated over the bed and looked downward and saw my wife and daughter just as I left them few minutes ago. I felt fully aware and focused. I looked forward and saw the hall of my parent's house. I floated forward and headed low to the floor. I looked at my hands and saw them clearly and they were too physical to the touch. I kept rolling my eyes around and everything looked so real and vivid. I noticed a small black plastic piece on the floor. It was like a piece left out of a broken toy. I decided to grab it with my left hand and take it with me back to the "second physical"-will explain later. I then floated upward again and headed to the bed and I looked down but I didn't see my self, just saw my wife and daughter. I moved downward to the place I supposed my "second physical body" was lying in. I kept my left hand firm over the black plastic piece and shifted all my focus on it. I was starting to "wakeup" from that "sub-lucid dream" to the "normal dream environment". I felt the plastic piece fading gradually, as if it's disappearing or evaporating. I "woke up" and went out of the bed and saw the hall of my parent's house just as I left it in the "sub-lucid dream" but the only one difference was that my older sister was setting with two teenage girls (one was her daughter maybe and the other girl is unknown to me). And then suddenly every thing went blurry and the view was just black. I started to feel my "real physical awareness" and real surroundings. I opened my eyes and I was in my bed at my apartment wth my wife beside me.
Conclusion:
This was a dream-initiated lucid dream OR a lucid dream inside a normal dream OR a multi-layered dream, whatever you think fits. This was my first time to experience something similar, and I have to admit it's truly confusing!
Comments and opinions are welcome of course

Space "astral-nauts" are welcomed here! please share your experience in visiting outer space and other celestial bodies (planets, moons, asteroids ..etc).  How did it feel for the first time? did you travel in a constant high speed or just teleported there? did you manage to catch a sight/event/object that was verifiable? I am talking about OBE during the RTZ.

It's been a while since I last had a lucid dream or an out of body experience. I am really missing such activities which made me recognize for the first time who I truly am and what actually I am capable of. I used to have a lucid dream or an OBE every other day and I gained a very high control level over my powers in the astral. But life goes on, and you know, I have bills to pay and a small family to take care of alongside dealing with negative people almost all the time. Physical life is excrement and very limiting! just sharing what's inside my head with you guys, opinions and thoughts are very welcomed.

I've been always wandering: did anybody manage to follow Robert Monroe's ROTEs and saw the different rings of thought energy around earth? did anybody succeed in meeting entities from other energy systems like AA and BB mentioned in his "Far journeys" book? did any body manage to visit their own original home energy system (like KT-95)? I noticed that other OBE pioneers like William Buhlman, Albert Taylor alongside others have their very own path that's totally different from Robert Monroe's. There are very few similarities though. I am asking because the journey of Robert Monroe seems very solid, very consistent and "logical". How come nobody was able to visit energy systems he described in full detail in his three books?

I use the "wake-back to bed" method to achieve both lucid dreams and OBEs. I noticed that some times I had LDs and other times I experience OBEs, but the main factor which seemed to control the "type" of the experience remained unknown to me. Then I experiment with the "waking period" before going back to bed several times. I noticed that, the shorter my waking time (10-20 mins) the more the experience is going to be a LD, while the longer it is (30-60 mins) the more it would be an OBE. Can anybody confirm that?
Thanks in advance

Hello everyone,
I have a severe migraine in the right side of my head (it never tends to happen in the left side), it started to occur long time ago, maybe when I was 15 or so (I am 33 now). But it's not chronic. it takes place for maybe 10 minutes a day for a whole week or 10 days, Then suddenly it ceases utterly for a year or two. Then it may happen again for the same exact period then ceases, and so on. Also I noticed that it tends to happen around September or October. I visited several doctors, made some check ups on my eyes, blood pressure, teeth and even had an x-ray, but all showed nothing wrong at all. My blood pressure is ideal, as the doctor I visited said. I read that migraine might be a sign of Kundalini  awakening. I had sleep paralysis for the first time in my life very near to the day I started to suffer that severe migraine. Could there be some sort of link between them?
Suggestions will be much appreciated

Hello everyone,
Few days ago, I watched a video on Youtube for a guy named "Bob Sanders". He seems to be a psychic medium or something, and he uploaded a couple of videos on Youtube stating that astral projection is very dangerous and one shouldn't try to initiate an experience, he even uploaded a video titled "astral projection-my last warning"! so, did anybody watch that guy videos? if so, do you buy what he says?
Thanks in advance.

[Hello everyone It's been a long time since I last posted here on the forum. I continued to have interesting dreams and few lucid dreams. Just wanted to share with you one of my most realistic lucid dreams ever. I went to sleep at about 1:30 am and sat the alarm at 5:30. When the alarm rang, I didn't wake up, just turned the alarm off and then drifted back to sleep, but I was aware and focused. Few minutes later I felt the paralysis kicking in with a mild vibrating sensations. I knew I am about to have either an OBE or a LD, so I followed my exit technique of rolling out of the physical body. And here I'd like to mention something notable: when I have an OBE, the rolling out method causes me to float, feeling no weight at all, while in LDs I roll out standing on my feet or even falling on the ground hitting it with my knees feeling very physical. I feel my actual weight and I can't jump and float. If I wanted to float or fly I must focus for few seconds and then it happens very smoothly. So, I found my self standing in my bedroom, and I knew for sure I am in a LD. I moved to the wall and start touching it with my palms and it felt very real! I rubbed my palms together and heard the sound of them rubbing against each other and felt them just as I would in real world.. I was SO AWAKE! Feeling incredible sense of freedom, I decided to head to the balcony and try to go in a flying tour. So, I ran as fast as I could and jumped in the air. For my surprise, I didn't fly, nor did I fall down, like the time has been frozen (The matrix movie? )I focused my intention on flying and I start to move normally, flying downward, and I noticed that there are few people walking in the streets, they looked very normal people just as those we see in real world. I decide to fly low over them to take a closer look. I noticed that there was a family consists of two parents and a small kid (5-6 years old) and the kid was yelling and pointing at me, looking very exited telling his parents to look at me. The people turned there heads towards me, starring in total awe, as if I am a super hero or something. I decided to slow down and landed on the street. I looked up at the sky and it was full of something like red nebula, and seemed very close to a shot taken from the Hubble telescope. There were lots of bright stars. I focused on one of those bright stars and said: why don't I try to go there?! and I started to run as fast as I could, spreading my arms beside me like a bird, lifting my legs up off the ground, and I started to fly again. I kept looking and focusing on that bright star I am heading to. But after a while I felt it's a very time consuming process, and the way I am doing it would not bring me there. So I decided to end the dream and go back to my body. I landed on the street and turned back to where I started the dream, found the people and the family with the kid looking at me at the same awe. I stopped just under the balcony in the street and I found two characters acting like they are my close friends or people who truly love me and making sure I will return to the physical world. The first character was a male but I don't remember even a single detail of him. The other character was a tall Asian woman wearing an Olive-green Kimono, having her hair in a traditional Japanese hair style. She asked me If I am sure I can go through the balcony up to the apartment and I said don't worry, just let me concentrate. I focused on the floating up movement and I went through the balcony very smoothly, then I walked towards my sleeping body and I found that the Asian woman was setting on a nearby chair, looking like she is waiting, making sure I will make it successfully. I headed towards my body and it seemed like I am entering it. I felt my physical body again with a slight numbness. And that was how it ended!Sorry for such long post.Waiting for your feedback]

Hello  
Hopefully, this topic should help astral projection newbies to learn how to immerse them selves into the  concept of "getting- out of- the body -is possible", and obtain the mode and mindset that allows them to have frequent and easy OBEs. I went through this steps my self, and they worked for me perfectly. here you go:

1-Read, listen and watch every single shred of material you can reach about the topic. While you read a book or a novel about astral projection, you flex your "astral muscles", sharpening your astral vision and broadening your imagination borders, trying to visualize the events, characters, entities, places, smells, melodies the author/writer is talking about in his book/novel.
The same applies to listening.Focusing on the voices of both the radio show presenter and his guest, talking about OBEs and astral projections, without seeing them enhances your ability to visualize their looks, their facial expressions and even their posture.

2- Never ever watch horror movies, and don't get me wrong! not because I want you to be coward or something, but because I think such movies emit tremendous amount of negative energy, spreading fear and anger without any benefit in return.

3- Turn the astral projection topic into a firm scientific experiment, put aside all superstitions,  set a goal, write down procedures and conclusions, there's nothing to be scared of, it's just an experiment.

4- recommended OBE material:
Books:
Robert Monroe trilogy: Journeys out of body-Far journeys-The ultimate journey.
William Buhlman: Adventures beyond the body.
Albert Taylor: Soul traveler.
Luis Minero:Demystifying the out of body experience.

Youtube videos/radio shows:
Luis Minero interviews.
Robert Monroe interviews.
William Buhlman interviews.
Albert Taylor interviews.

Hi all. This is an open question for everybody here on the forum. During one of your astral travels / OBEs, you confront some sort of "being". you feel him to be neutral. would you prefer to make contact and start conversation with "him" or you just ignore his presence and continue your way, counting on yourself to gain knowledge and explore the universe? in other words: what feels more safe for you? to make contact or not to make contact?

Hi Guys & gals I have a question and I hope someone will give me a convincing answer.
Is it possible that OBEs and astral projections are an evil traps setup by demons and evil spirits and dark energies to deceive us? to brain wash us by false visions and lies about reincarnation and the absence of God and so on? What guarantee that those are not evil entities masquerading as angels and light beings?

[Date:17/3/2015]

Hi every body. here's one of my mysterious OBEs, which left me confused and perplexed.
Date:17/3/2015
Events:
I went to sleep at about 12:30 AM, set the alarm to wake me up at 4:30.After the alarm rang I woke up, got out of bed, washed my face, then went to the living room to watch TV with sound muted for about 45 minutes. I began to feel sleepy again, so I decided to go back to bed, intending on having an OBE. After about 10 minutes I drifted to sleep, then suddenly felt that I am totally aware and awake.my body was completely paralyzed, and there was a massive surge of energy running through my chest area, and a strange sound like what you hear when you drag your opened palms over your ears from top to bottom rushed in my head. I found that I was stranded, not able to separate from the physical. I tried to use the rope technique but it didn't work, also I tried to imagine my self floating upward but nothing seemed to happen. desperately, I gathered all my focus on rolling my self from right to left and finally I made it!
For my surprise I found my self to be rolling out "very physically" from a bed in another apartment! it was a completely different place.. where am I?!  
And for my surprise, I wasn't able to float or jump, I was completely "physical" and "solid". I tried to jump several times, but every time I kept falling back on my feet, just like what will happen if you jump in the physical world. I tried to focus on floating but nothing happened, and I felt the gravity to be as strong as I know it in the physical world. then I walked cautiously through the mysterious apartment and suddenly I noticed a woman standing in the kitchen ,giving me her back and I realized that the time is early morning and she was preparing breakfast "for her kids maybe?" she was tall "about 170-175 cm", black haired, and wearing a dark olive green abaya with hood  sagged on the back of her shoulders. I didn't try to communicate with her or even let her feel my presence. I sneaked to the reception of the apartment and there was a wooden large table, and there was a folded news paper put inside a bamboo basket. I got closer to the folded new paper and I read  the title for what seemed to be an economical or political issue, and there were a photo of a person who looks like a minister or something. I said to myself that I should remember what was written in the new paper in order to think logically bout it later when I go back to the physical.
and then suddenly I felt my focus to be fuzzy, and I was drifting to a dream like environment full of lots of fancy characters and events that I don't remember will.  awhile later I felt my self back in my physical body, but it was just like "waking up" and not the supposed "returning back " feeling of an OBE. And to my surprise, I found that I forgot every thing I read in the news paper. I tried very hard to remember but I couldn't  
Questions:
1-Is this considered as an OBE? or it feels more like a lucid dream?
2-Why wasn't I able to float? why was I so solid and "heavy" just like I feel in the physical world?
3-Could this be "I" in a different dimension, with a completely different life, and the woman in the kitchen was my wife?!  
BTW, I attached a photo of what looks like what the woman was wearing "an abaya with hood" but the one in the OBE was dark olive green in color. check it here: http://i.imgur.com/TAwae6r.jpg

Hi there 
Ever wondered how astral beings may look like? If so, here are two very detailed illustrations of astral beings I encountered during one of my spontaneous OBEs. They didn't seem to see me or even feel my presence at the moment (fortunately!). I work as a graphic designer and illustrator, so I decided to make use of my talent to describe some of my OBEs' elements visually.
Here are the links to the two illustrations:

Hi ever body.
This is my first successful voluntary OBE.
Date: Thursday 6 March 2015
I went to bed at 12:30 AM, and I set the alarm to wake me up at 5:00 AM. When the alarm rang I woke up, got out of the bed, then washed my face and then went to the living room and watched TV for about 30 minutes but I muted the sound. I started to feel sleepy again, and my eyes felt itchy, so I knew that it's OBE time!
I turned the TV off, went back to my bedroom, lay comfortably on bed. It took me only few minutes to go back to deep sleep.
A while later, I felt that I am totally awake and aware, and I felt that my body from neck to toes is floating up in the air, but me head was still stuck at my physical body!
I remembered reading that this "sticky parts" of astral body during separation is a common phenomenon, and also remembered reading how to deal with it. so I relaxed and used my astral arms against the pillow, pushing my self up to free my astral head! and I did it   I am totally separated now. I felt the "Zero gravity" as usual, but it was totally dark around me. I was unable to "see" any thing as if I was totally blind. Again, I remembered reading about that "astral blindness" and how to deal with it. So I reached my hands out to the nearest wall and pushed my self away from my physical body, and then demanded with full will power "I want a clear vision"! immediately the blackness faded away and I found my self in the corridor between my bedroom and the rest of the apartment. I was just about 50 cm above the floor, floating horizontally, my fingers barely touch the carpet below me. I can see very clearly the details of my kitchen. I pushed my  self upward very gently using my finger tips against the carpet. I floated up to the ceiling, and then decided to check my living room. I entered the room which was lit by a neon bulb. The clean white light was every where. I felt the vision was a little bit blurry, so again, I demanded in full power: "I want more clear vision" and voila! the view became very clear, the colors and details were vibrant. I was totally aware of every thing and I was thinking very logically. I decided to check  if it's a dream, so I clenched my fists several times and felt the grip of my palms to be "very physical". I touched my right arm with my left hand and felt it  to be completely "solid". I was amazed!
I flew to the chandelier and checked it closely, and for the first time ever I noticed that the chandelier's bulbs have some sort of weird curved protrusion. I've never seen such detail before, so I decided to keep it in mind as a reality check to see if it's really there in the physical world. Then suddenly,I saw an old man very similar to my father. he looks pretty much like him, but I was sure it wasn't him. I felt this being is very kind, and I didn't feel scared of "his" presence, instead, I was curious to find out who's this guy and what is he doing in my apartment. he was just setting silently on the couch, looking down as if he was thinking deeply, resting his chin and hands over a wooden stick. he was about 75 years old or so "just the age of my father" and was wearing the same clothes my father used to wear, but I was very sure that he wasn't my father,despite the strong feeling of familiarity i felt towards him. he didn't seem to be able to see me or feel my presence at all. I kept floating around him, waving with my arms on front of him but nothing worked. he kept looking downward thinking deeply. I felt that's fine for this time, and decided to go back to my physical body. as I reached the door of my living room I felt as if I am running out of energy very rapidly, and the vision started to be blurry and foggy again, and the darkness was spreading everywhere. and in less than a second, I found my self again in my physical body under covers feeling the warmth of bed  
After I woke up in the morning I went to the living room and checked the chandelier's bulbs and for my surprise they matched the ones I saw during my OBE perfectly!
Conclusions:
1- I didn't feel any vibrations or paralysis during or after this OBE which I usualy feel in my other spontaneous OBEs.
2- This is my second time to see an astral being during and OBE. I have a topic here in the forum about my previous OBEs and in one of those I saw two astral beings but they weren't human like, and they didn't seem to be able to see or feel me too.
3-Reading and gathering information about the OBE topic and OBE techniques is very useful and applicable. I think I would never figure out how to separate my head or to view clearly, or even to overcome fear, if I didn't read enough about the topic.

Sorry for such long and boring topic. But I really like to share such experience here because as you might know there aren't lots of people you can share such experiences with  

Hello every one.This is my first post here on the forum. Just wanted to share some of my OBEs, because as you may know, you cant 't just discuss such thing with every body, because they won't believe you! but you still have the need to talk about it with someone who is open minded, and can accept there 're still lots of things mankind don't know about.
OBE#1:
I was sleeping in my bedroom, when my wife turned the lights on and told me to get up for the dinner and then turned the lights off and went out. I opened my eyes and heard here but I tried to go back to sleep. a few seconds later I began to feel some sort of vibrations started from my legs to the head, and felt some sort of creepy feeling like something horrifying is about to happen, also I was able to slightly open my eyes but could 't move a muscle or even open my mouth! then I started to feel like if my legs are being pulled up in the air, then my arms which were moving as they are trying to push me up in the air too. and suddenly in less than a second I felt like i was "pushed a way" out side my body , floating randomly in the room, colliding with walls and ceiling like a helium balloon! I tried to move my self out of the room and I was swinging in the air (there was some difficulty in controlling my astral body because it was my first time to experience such thing). I saw the corridor to the kitchen, I saw the digital lights of the microwave in the dark, and I saw the living room door which was closed.
then I decided to go back to my body so I turned around and just "moved" towards my sleeping body. I opened my eyes and I was aware of every single detail of what just happened, and remembered every thing.I was sure it wasn't a dream. I got out of the bed, and headed to the living room and the door was closed, just as I saw it! I opened the door and found my wife and children having dinner, and when I asked here why did she closed the door, she answered: I was feeding the children, and they were crying and making noises, so I closed the door, for not to disturb you!
I was amazed but I never told here any thing for two reasons:
1-She well never believe me and she might think I am going nuts!
2- if she believed me, she might creep out, and fear me for ever!
So, I kept my mouth shut.

OBE#2:
I was sleeping and at around 4am, I felt as if my heart rate is rocking and some sort of "tingling" in my chest..and suddenly I found my self rolling out of my body to the left side and then I found my self hovering towards the ceiling! but this time I gained some control over my astral body and  I thought about going to the balcony and try to fly in the air I used the door and walls to move my self to the balcony and then jumped in the air...but I didn't fly as I was expecting, instead I fall very slowly like a feather but I was able to control my falling speed, so I speed up a little then when I reached the ground I slowed down a bit. And for the first time I saw two astral beings, but they never seem to see me in return, and they were the strangest creatures I have ever seen!
One of them was just walking in the street  while the other was climbing on a wall like a gecko!
I decided to check If I am fully aware of what's happening so I looked at my hand and I saw them very clearly, also I moved towards a tree and touched its leaves and I felt the texture and coolness of them. then I decided to go back to my body so I tried to climb up on the wall but for some reason I kept slipping and couldn't climb up. for few seconds I panicked and thought "that's it.....I will never return to my body"!!
but I relaxed and then toke a deep breath and thought of my sleeping body up there.. and whoooooooosh...I am back in my body I opened my eyes and felt a little headache so I decided to relax and try to continue sleeping.and this time I slept calmly without even dreaming.

OBE#3:
I was sleeping as usual, Then I started to feel the tingling, heaviness, and vibrations through out my whole body. Then I started to feel like I am floating up but I was totally "blind". I could't see any thing and it was totally black. so I "thought" it was a failure, and I decided to wake up!

OBE#4:
I started this one blind as the last one but I read on the web that when you have a blind OBE, just think of the word "clarity now!" and you will be able to see..so I tried it and it worked suddenly I was able to see and the blackness faded a way like some sort of clouds or dust. but when I tried to pass through the walls I couldn't and I felt like I can't see any thing past my apartment walls. I tried many times but for some reason I could n't get past my apartment walls.

Notes:
1-So far all my OBEs are involuntary, and I am now learning to do them on demand (and it's hard!)
2- It always starting from my legs and back then my arms and the last thing to separate is my head.
3- The "roll over" is my most successful exiting technique.
4- Most of my OBEs tend to happen if I woke up for a short period(few minutes or so) then I go back to sleep.

That's all. hope you liked what I shared here. I am currently trying to master the astral projection from awake status, and as I said it's hard to master.wish me good luck
thanks for your time and interest in my topic.
