Hey everyone!
It has been a while since I have visited here.
Hope you have all been well.


Quite a while ago I had my first out-of-body. It was pretty cool at first, everything was bright, even though it was dark. Then out of nowhere, a shapeless, formless "thing" had appeared, darting around the room. I had no idea what it was. I can't even think of a way to explain it. It really was shapeless and formless, nothing was there, but something was there, I could see that there was something. It almost seemed like distorted air. Difficult to picture, I know, I can't put it any better. I didn't react fearfully to it, I wasn't afraid, but I was curious. And as soon as I started to really wonder what it could be, it darted over to me in the blink of an eye. It was right beside me, not doing anything, then it would dart away and straight back again a few moments later. It was almost as if it did have some kind of intelligence and it was curious about me just as I was about it. It suddenly stopped dead on the other side of the room. For roughly 15 seconds I stood there looking at it, and then it vanished. I took a step forward and then awoke in my regular body. My experience had instantly ended, mid-step.


That was months ago now. Ever since then, for reasons I can't explain, I have had little success in this field.

I don't really have a question, but any comments or ideas about what happened, and why I can't project again would be pretty cool



Thanks guys.
Matt.

I've recently decided to give all of this a shot. I've ordered the book Astral Dynamics which should arrive soon, so I'm looking forward to giving that a good read, and I really don't read much, so at least I myself know I'm committed haha. I have read heaps and heaps about all of this, many different opinions and all that. I just have a few questions that I want answered. It might seem like a lot, but I just want to understand as much as I possibly can, and I feel it's better for me to have my own questions answered rather than read other questions answered.


What can I expect from all these different experiences? (i.e. What will I encounter, what will be the biggest challenge, what will it feel/look like during all these different stages??)

I have lucid dreams quite often but I'm not sure I quite understand the method to projection through lucid dreams. Focus on one thing and question it, can anyone expand on that?

Also, sometimes I have trouble getting to sleep and just can't seem to relax. Is this an issue, and how can I combat it?



Any answers will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you all in advance.
Matt.
