I haven't written here for years. I used to have OBEs before when I was away from my husband and waited to follow him overseas. Then I used to have them almost every night. Then, we reunited and they gradually decreased until they stopped completely. One possible reason for them stopping was not only that we got together but also because in our apartment was an entity that kept attacking me. So I got afraid of going out. I was wondering, how can I overcome my fear and bring them back. Is it possible to lose this ability forever? The only thing left from that time is that I still have the ability to watch with my eyes closed when I concentrate. I know it is unbelievable but it is true. ... How can I have OBEs again? Can anybody help with suggestions?Thanks

Stephen LaBerge has written some amazing books on lucid dreaming. Though, I can't specifically remember which ones I read, nonetheless, very educational.

Yes it is probably all training, hopefully for something more interesting than earth. Since I have been doing obe's I have had lots of lucid dreams, dreams of obe and flying, some of which I think are real obe's- I think you can tell the real ones by how aware you are-can you feel the wind in your ears when you fly? I have also had lots of epic type dreams, ones that have a  long complete story to them rather than imagery that just seem to jump randomly.

Vicky: As to what you should do when meeting "creatures" and so forth, you will no-doubt get various responses depending on the mind-set of the person in question: performing rituals, banishments, generating shields, and such like, are still common notions despite several several thousand years of human advancement.

Within the Astral realms live all manner of people who come across in all manner of ways. This is something people must simply accept. The best way of learning to deal with all the zillions of potential kinds of situations you can come across (IMO) is to familiarise yourself with the basic ground-rules which apply. One important rule you need to be familiar with is, within Astral realms, thoughts become things. So it is essential for you to keep a high degree of control over your thoughts *especially* your emotions.

Hence, the best way to be is to look at all things, i.e. people, places, events, etc., from the point of view of being a neutral, passive observer. Reason being, one of the biggest mistakes people make (and you read accounts of experiences where people get themselves into difficulties from doing this, time after time) is making snap-judgements about whatever it is they came across.

From a neutral, passive observer standpoint you can then make progress by maintaining an air of mild curiosity about whatever it is you wish to find out about. Though I realise only too well that is all a darned sight easier to say, than it is to actually do at the time. But, as with most things, practice makes perfect.

Also, there have been quite a number of posts where people come back to Physical, describe some circumstance, and ask if anyone here has an idea of what it was. Which is all very well, however, I found the best time to ask about something is at the time. In your case, for example, you could have asked the person who they were.

While there are general phenomenon people commonly come across, a significant percentage of people's experiences will pertain to them in some way. This makes it difficult for someone else to give a specific answer.
