I can't answer your questions but I can surely make this comment:  I AM SO JEALOUS OF YOU FOLKS THAT CAN DO AN OBE NEVER MIND GOING SOMEWHERE.

Sounds like you made huge progress just by taking the advice of calling out to where you wanted to go.  Maybe each and every time you'll get closer and closer to the ideal destination.

Blissful

Sometimes. People claim to end up wearing and looking like all sorts of things when they project. Some say they wear the same clothes their body is wearing. Some say they wear white clothing or robes. Some people say they take animalistic shapes.

Also, people, when first projecting tend to get caught in that physical rut. Like me, I'm still used to gravity and not passing through things. I know I can do it, but I'm currently unable to do it (well, there's also the inability to project often enough).

If you purposely put on the ski mask to help you project, it worked, but you know the ski mask is there, helping you project, so perhaps your mind constructs a ski mask while you're out.

Welcome to the forums CSteel!  Sounds like you are having projections and going into the RTZ (real time zone) it is the closest nonphysical level to the physical universe. It is where most projector find themselves when they first project out of body.

Seeing out of your eyelids is a good indication that you are in the RTZ. Sometimes only cloudy shapes or indisinct images of the surrounding room. But according to RB, a stronger level of real-time sight can be mistaken for normal physical sight.

Also that heavy feeling is another indication of being in the RTZ. Sounds like you are doing great. [] Getting farther away from your body should help with that.

The latter part of your post sounds like two things are happening, you're feeling your astral and physical at the same time, hence the someone touching your face.  The other part, feeling as if someone is watching you, sounds like the "dweller on the threshold"

"It is another aspect of the natural barrier that fear creates. It can happen in many variations, but is usually a combination of things. Immediately after exit, you find a shadowy, menacing humanoid shape, that may just stand there or it may take a few steps forward and make threatening gestures. Robert goes on to say, it may threaten you with doom and gloom if you continue with your projection, but the classic dweller monster never attacks or harms a projector. He (RB) has not had a single report of a dweller so much as touching a projecter. It is a illusion. It should be confronted and ordered away or totally ignored, or both."

You didn't say you saw anything but just felt it, I think it still applies, just hasn't shown itself yet..

Hope this helps..I look foward to hearing more of your experiences..
