the other day i was feeling extremely upset and i asked the angels to protect me and comfort me, and give me a sign, (never asked anything like this before) and i was round someones house id never been to before and as i was sitting down a white feather dropped into my lap from nowhere and i heard a name being said in my head but i cant remember it now, it began with an h,  everyone was asking why i gasped but i didnt say coz i thought id sound stupid, but holding it, i could feel so much energy coming from it, making my hand hard to close, i didnt have any pockets so i just held it, then i lost it, i wish i hadnt because i think it was for me to keep so it would protect me, but im just so glad i recieved it and i dont mind its gone. i thanked the angels. also i wonder if anyones been somewhere and remembered a dream theyd had in exactly the same place, even though youve never been there before, i had that in my friends dads kitchen when being there for the first time, i remembered sitting on the kitchen bench and then the garden was so dejavou, then i had the same with his girlfriends upstairs, this is the only 2 times this has happened to me and i think its strange that the houses are connected. thanks for reading, love ryokie xxx

i have been trying to obe but i need to know a couple of things so if you cud answer them id be most grateful,

1. are you meant to clear your mind of thoughts? or try your best to keep thoughts active?

2. how long does it usually take to feel the vibrations?

3. howcome when ive obe'd before i didnt rise to the ceiling until i went back into my body, instead i just woke up lying in bed and rolled out of bed purposely? is it unusual?

4. when i try to obe, part of me doesnt want to go because its scared of the lower astral plane ghostlies, is this fear stopping me from going?

5. if i meet up with a ghostly, should i try and think myself away from it? or think it away, or scream, or run, or hit it?

i know my queries are quite silly but i think i need to be sure of what im doing before this will work. thanx ppl      

all my love, lauren xxx

I'm not sure where you've been doing your reading?  Lower planes bad people?  Rare to meet other travelers?

Perhaps you need some better reading material?

It sounds like your own fears caused you more problems than anything on the Astral.  Seeing your body while OBEing causes many people problems until they get used to it.  She was probably there to help you, not harm you.  You don't need to be awake to be harmed.  The man didn't do anything to you either, simply stood there.

Try reading through some of the Forum experiences, there are some similiar ones to your experiences.

1) People will give you different answers. Some people will say clearing your thoughts is key. Some will say you should think about all sorts of stuff to forget your body. I don't think it matters what you're thinking  about as long as you keep the mind aware, and let the body drift off.

2) Not everyone feels the vibrations. Those who do feel them don't have a set time. It's like "oh, it's been five minutes. The vibes should kick in soon." They just happen.

3)Every OBE is different. Just becuase someone may flaot up, doesn't mean youi won't sink or stay where you are. If you want to float, then float.

4) It could  be a factor.

5) I think it would depend on what the "ghostly" is doing. How do you know it's not trying to be your friend? Would you hit a person trying to be your friend? For the most part, you could just ignore them.

Hi Ryokie,

Welcome ro the forums and thank you for sharing your experience.

Sounds like you had what is termed a dweller on the threshold as part of your experience. Robert Bruce explains this in his book Astral Dynamics or see the article Astral Beings and Wildlife on the main site: http://www.astralpulse.com/articles/robert/articles_1.htm

I used to have similar encounters when younger (childhood to early teens)... Vampires and the like (other users may laugh loudly if they wish), but tend not to anymore. I don;t think there is anything to be alarmed about here to be honest!

In the mean time enjoy your visits!

Kind wishes,


Stephen
