Hi everyone. For a while now I've been trying t o turn my Lucid Dreams into OBE'S. I've had a couple of successes but quite often what happens is, I feel for my physical body in bed and as soon as I feel it I wake up.
This morning I was having a lucid dream and I decided to try somethings else so I did the falling backwards technique- in my dream I stood still and then just fell backwards.
I go the sense that I was passing through my bed and then floor and really felt like I was AP'ing however everything was dark and I had this horrible feeling that I couldn't breath. This very quickly shocked my back to my body and I woke up,.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?,. I'n OBE's I've had before I could see clearly and I don't remember even needing to breath, let alone being conscious of it. I get that my LD could have just slipped back into an intense dream but again breathing is something that I've never struggled with in a dream,. I mean usually I can breath underwater/blow my head up and all that stuff in a dream,. so I'm a bit confused,. also me dreams are never never never black :/

Thanks in advance

All the best

Hey everybody,.

I have a simple question,. what is spirituality and what (IYO)  is the 'soul'
The reason I ask is that for a few years now I have been what I would consider an atheist,. I believe in no god an no religion,. but here's where it gets tricky,.

I have recently been exploring the idea of OBE's,. I've been a lucid dreamer for a long as I can remember and have been meditating for about a month now,. sooooo,. the other night I had a bonified OBE (see http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/welcome_to_astral_projection_experiences/my_first_ap_any_advise_really_appreciated-t44997.0.html) and its caused me to question everything I believe in,.

So now I'm asking myself,. what part of me left my body?,. was it my soul? if so what does that mean?

lol,. sorry for the waffle,. I just have so many question,...

Hi everybody, I'm very new to all this and am just looking for some advise/communion really.

For the past month or two Ive been attempting to OBE firstly through LD'ing (which I naturally do), then through (a lot of) mediation, the closest I've got is to the vibration stage through mediation using an OBE audio tape about a week ago.

Anyway, im sat in bed, ive just woke up and I AP'd for the first time last night!

I just want to talk ppl through what happened and really get some confirmation that what happened was a projection, because again I've never done it before:

So 6 hours after going to sleep last night I woke up, I then stayed awake for a while (I've read about WILD). When I was completely awake I turned the lights off and went back to bed, with the intention of maintaining complete awareness. I fell asleep! lol

Here's where it gets a little strange, I didnt have a Lucid dream, however I knew that I had to projects so (in my dream I closed my eyes, looked up and tried to leave my body), at which point I became completely lucid and aware of my astral body (i think) leaving my physical body. This was backed up by incredible vibrations that I felt running up and down my physical body, I could see the sky and I was rising higher and higher in it.
I wanted to prove to myself that this wasnt a dream so i projected myself to my house, i then floated through my back door and the through the ceiling into my room where I found myself sleeping in bed, IT WAS STRANGE!!!,. I floated at ceiling hight looking at my body in bed but as I tried to get closer to my body I got 'sucked back in' and felt myself back in my physical body, at which point I woke up.

I was really exited and lay down to try and project again, at which point I found myself again flowting in my room looking at my body, but I felt a dark presence in the room which scared the crap out of me - I mean really really scared me, so I scrambled back into my body and woke up. I thought this was a pretty successful attempt and was to scared to try again so took my mind away from LDing and APing and tryied to just get some mindless sleep.

For full disclosure I have to mention one thing - when 'I projected' to the back of my house the house itself, looked pretty much exactly the same is it does in 'real life' except my father has recently built a conservatory which (i dont remember) seeing,. could this mean that what I actually experienced wasnt a projection but just a new kind of Lucid Dream?

I would really really appreciate any advise on this or jsut general feedback on my experience,. its got me rather exited


Thanks
