For those who have been there...
I did some reading and it says it doesn't always look exactly  like the physical world. There can be that furniture in your home is arranged differently or you are in a completely different home altogether. These were labeled as reality fluctuations. Is that true? I was thinking, how can you do a test when the images don't match? (For example, you see the mailman put a yellow package into your mailbox.. If you wake up and run to the mailbox, you should find that yellow package there too. But if the images don't match...)

Also: if your emotions manifest (they exist as forms outside of you), then that must mean you are in the astral?

Hello   I think I have been in this forum before but only joined recently..

I have always been interested in lucid dreaming but always had trouble for some reason.

Then same time now but last year, I got interested in meditation to help me with insomnia and.. next thing I know, every time I go to bed something strange would happen. Just few seconds after closing my eyes, I'd be in my bed and it would start shaking and there would also be a gust of wind  (tornado-like). I also sometimes knew what would happen ahead of time and then one day I blacked out during meditation and found myself above the planet and started wandering around... That made me start reading about OBEs.

There was a long period after of almost nothing. No strange experiences. Then now it's starting to happen again. I am curious where this will take me.. Nice meeting you all  

Several days a week now, I am leaving my body. I either find myself in a "black void" or I'm in my bedroom. Mostly it's the latter. But I am only there for a few seconds.

I know about techniques which help me stay in the astral/phase longer, like sensory amplification or spinning on an axis. But it seems no matter what, I am always going back to my body only after 10 seconds (or less). Is that normal for a beginner? If I keep practicing, will I eventually stay longer?
