Hello all,
I've tried to AP before, with little success, I've had lucid dreams, but I've decided to stick to it and practice.
After reading recently, I realized an odd experience I had a few years ago was almost a spontaneous OBE. I was lying on a raised bed in my dorm room, watching my brother play video games and it was late. Out of the blue, I felt like my whole body rotated upwards, pivoting at my head. I gripped the bed tightly and snapped out of it because I thought I was going to slide off.
I had tried to AP years before this event, and felt the very intense vibrations coursing through my body, and I felt heavy and immovable. I began to feel as though I was hyperventilating and I came out of it. Some time later, I intentionally hyperventilated and felt the same sensations. I wonder if anyone knows if (A) if hyperventilation or the sensation of hyperventilation are common during vibrations? and (B) If the induced hyperventilation vibrations are at all related to AP. I don't intend to try to use hyperventilation as a means to AP but it is interesting nonetheless if other people have used hyperventilation to reach altered states.
I hope these questions find a response.
