I posted my first OBE experience on here before and it was very realistic, clear, etc. I had multiple last night, probly 4 or so, but very short and vague. I would get up and everything wasent as clear to me and it seemed like I was only up breifly before getting sucked back into my physical self where I would then exit again. This happened a few times. I even tried saying to myself "clearity" and "awareness" and it didnt seem to work. I also tried to travel to my sisters place (another state). I closed my eyes and imagined I was there but when I opened them I was still at my house. Any inut, tips, suggestions?

Here are my first two threads giving a background on me.

So I came across AP and OBE from researching about the sleep paralysis I get once in a while. Anyways the threads I posted above show my first two psuedo experiences. Last night I went to bed I was very tired. I tried to focus when laying in bed but have never felt the vibrations when first initially going to bed. In the middle of the night I "awoke" into sleep paralysis. The first time this happened I didnt know what was happening and felt extremely scared. I felt as if I was dying. Luckily I havent experienced what many other people have during SP such as hallucinations, demons, nightmares, etc.

So as I layed there the vibrations came in waves. I knew what was happening so I thought to myself I would try to leave my body. It seemed the more I focused on it the harder it was so I kind of just layed there and focused on the vibrations. The next thing I noticed was music. It was so clear it felt as if I had headphones on and it wasent really a song that I knew, although I did recognize it. It felt so real. Its hard to explain so Ill try my best. Think as if u never heard a song before, u cant really predict what youll hear next because it is new to u. Although I recognized the song I did not know it well enough to predict what was coming next but it was clear as anything as if I was really listening to it conciouslly (sp).


So finally I felt as if I was separating from my body. I was having a hard to getting out. Felt like my arms first then I really had to struggle to get loose but when I did the music went away, but not completely. I could still hear it as if someone was next to me with headphones on. I then walked through my door into the hallway into my roomates room where I tried to wake him. He awoke and then what seemed to be greeting me as if we havent seen each other in a long time. After this I lost concentration and ende up back in my body....

I once again went through the vibrations and left my body. I went to my front door (from the inside) and saw a package in front of it and two pieces of paper taped to the door, one white and one yellow. I found it odd since it was on the inside and not the oitside. I then walked through the front door outside. I noticed the night sky had a lot more stars than usual and it seemed more special effects like. There as someone in my driveway dribling a basketball and didnt pay any attention to me. I was so aware that I thought that this person was in reality in my driveway and they were for some reason about to break into my house so I looked at the license plate of his truck parked in front of my house and it read 6TGE something. I then wanted to go elsewhere and began to fly out of the neighborhood but was going very slow. It seemed as if I couldnt control my speed. I wanted to go faster but couldnt. The area outside my neighborhood was not how it is in reality. Seemed like a larger city that was more futuristic. There was large TVs along side the main road. Think the Vegas strip. I think I then lost concentration and ended up back in bed. I felt nervous since I though someone was in my driveway so I came too and it was 1:30am. I had only been asleep for maybe an hour. I had a hard time going back to sleep. I almost had the feeling of an adrenaline rush.

So my questions are do u guys think this was an actual OBE? It felt very real and I was fully aware of what was going on. The only part of me that thinks it was a dream was that a lot of things were different from reality. Im still pretty oblivious to these things and I think that me having an issue with sleep paralysis almost gave me a shotcut to have an OBE. So yes, Im not really educated on the subject. Any input/opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

Im sure thre are a lot of posts like this so Ill try not to drag it on for too long. Anyways, I was out of town with my sister, nephew and bro in law. We stayed at a hotel. I was having a hard time sleeping since the baby was always waking up crying. Anyways I woke up in the middle of the night and without much focus (I was very tired and pretty much half asleep) I was feeling vibrations and almost a ringing/buzzing. I have had sleep paralysis before and I remember getting a very scared feeling come over me in prior experiences. I felt like I could almost control it. I tried to stay as calm as possible. My whole body felt paralyzed. I could open up my eyes and look around as well as hearing my sister talking in the other room. I tried not to fight it. I also felt as if my leg was almost being pulled to one side and although my mouth wasent open for some reason it felt like it was. The vibrations/buzzing came and left multiple times. I didnt know where to go really from there. I eventually fell asleep.

Input?

Im not sure what the difference between these two are and whats the better choice. Anyone?

So I came across AP after having a couple sleep paralysis episodes. Seems like that can be a close step to AP. The first episode I had was probly a year and a half ago in the middle of the night. I thought I was having some sort of anxiety attack. I was laying in bed kind of half asleep when I could start really hearing my heart beat, almost as if it were pounding out of my chest. Then I heard what everyone seems to say is a buzzing sound. At that point I was awake looking up at my ceiling with my whole body paralyzed and unable to speak, only moan. Its was a very scary experience as I also had an overwhelming sense of hooror/fear come over me. Lets fast forward a bit....

about 3 weeks ago I had a similar experience. I was laying in bed in the afternoon prior to going to the gym. I just felt slightly tired. I ended up falling asleep. I then had a very similar buzzing/vibrating sensation come over me and felt like my eyes were being forced closed like a curtain. I was on my side at the time and for some reason I naturally wanted to fight it. It happend maybe twice. This got me curious to do some research and now Im here. Ive been doing some reading and have attempted to get into a similar state of relaxation but with no luck. For some reason late at night before going to bed I get paranoid and almost am afraid to try it, might be some of the vids, articles Im reading online. Ive tried 3 or so times during the day with not much luck. The furthest I go is really feeling the heartbeat to where it almost feels like it moves me but then I either get distracted or fall asleep.

So, I was wondering if anyone could give me some guidence as to what to do or maybe direct me to some helpful articles. This subject has really intrigued me and am anxious to have my first real AP experience. Thanks!
