I am just finishing Far Journeys. However, I don't understand why it is necessary to leave the second body to.... go far. Or well, at least enter other planes of existence. Do you have to leave the second body to enter the astral planes or was it just something that worked for Monroe? If it is a requirement, how would you go about doing it? Would you leave the same way you leave the physical body? I would appreciate some insight on this.

Almost everytime I go out of body.. Right before I feel this strange tickly.. buzzing.. sensation in my ears. It doesn't hurt or anything but it is very annoying and uncomfortable. Has anyone ever experienced this?

I have been wanting to go OOB all this weekend but did not manage to up untill this morning. I repeated an affirmation before I dropped back into sleep: While my physical body is asleep I am awake and asked for help from anyone who coud hear me and help me get out.

Next thing I know, I am sleeping in my bed (in the same position that I woke up in) with a girl from class talking with me - She's is wide awake, I was only half awake.  I mention how I am becoming really tingly. She said something but I no longer could hear, see or talk to her - I didn't really have the desire to anyway. I got the vibrations for awhile and see some sort of transparent figure helping me out - looked like a man.

Then, I remember how I wanted to go by the gulfcourse/lake in my neighborhood so I immediately left my room. I flew up and saw my dad sleeping on the couch in the living room (he used to do this often - but he's now in Las Vegas)  and saw my mom cooking food in the kitchen (she is in New York). I looked at the time quickly (8:25) and at my mom. I opened the door, and noticed that my mom didn't notice me leaving- I think, "good, I really am out of body then". I flew outside by the gulf course and looked into the nights sky. I see a star and some airplane or something similar. I tried to fly up higher but I foundd it difficult.

This was the first time I got out of my room (Finally!) and the first time that I didn't project into the RTZ. Although, when I was out of body I thought everything was normal (my mom and dad being home & it being night time).  I woke up and checked the time: 9:22 AM

Two days ago - midday - I took a nap on my couch. Following a short dream - I was suffering from waking paralysis. At the moment however, I thought I was just chilling, unaware that I was unable to move. Of course, it eventually hit me and I though about The Being. (Once, I was paralyzed and felt as if there was a being touching me. Ever since then, when I think of "The Being" I get the vibrations) I soon got vibrations- but this time I didn't want them. I was scarred that things would become too tickly (it didn't thankfully). They eventually went away and I started to sink through the couch. Then I got up, looked around, and started to call for my sister. I soon found out that I couldnt speak. Unlike my other OBEs, I was moving with my (from what I saw) physical body. I guess this is why I did not realize I was out of body at the time..

Anyway, last night after about an hour of sleeping I woke from a dream that took place in my home. Again, I could not move... and I started having a "zz" feeling in my throat area, which I found rather pleasant, and a buzzing/trickling feeling in my brow. This went away as soon as the vibrations came. This time though- I couldn't get out of my body. (strange because it has never been an issue, I usually  automatically float out...)

After this.. I sat up and tried to turn on some candles so I could write the thing down in my journal. No matter how hard I tried though, my lighter would NOT work. I sat up and noticed a spider's web over where I slept. I panicked for some reason and frantically tried to open my door. I finaly got out and saw a dark figure, I think a woman, in a black robe that came out of the bathroom (directly in front of my door). Of course, I got scarred as hell and woke up.  (Not sure if this was a false awakening or not)

Weird part: after I woke up - I thought about the dark figure. Almost instantly I thought of a roach. I go to the bathroom.. (cautiously) and see no roach. So.. I let my gaurd down. I go the kitchen, and open the dishwasher and what do you know. A GIANT ROACH! I had the same exact reaction to the roach as I did to the dark figure.

Anyway, I wonder: was this a false awakening or could it have been an OBE? I'm also curious as to why I am all of a sudden seeing my physical body when I am OOB when I never usually do. Note that when I see my physical self - nothing fanishes or fades. Anyone else have these confusing episodes?

Looking foward to some feedback  

[anyone else has experienced anything like this??]

About two months ago a strange thing happened. Something that definitely affected my life. I am not sure whether this occured because of the effects of substance that I used three days earlier - although the effects were gone by the next day -or if it was something else.

Anyway, after about three days of being - normal - I became aware of my "self" more than ever. It was like watching myself constantly. For instance, having a conversation with someone would be more like examining another person have a conversation with someone. I felt like a completely different person all the while feeling as if I was MYSELF for once. In all true form. Not cluttered by any false identity.  I remember coming into my room - looking at it with a whole new perspective. I was thinking of the old me, and how I was attached to all these items in my room. I began to take everything down-longing for blank walls. Feeling as if none of it mattered. I then began crying for I was overcome with love, joy and empathy for everything and everyone. I was in awe of the beauty of life and its creations. It was an extremely powerful feeling - and extremely hard to put down into words.

This lasted for about two whole days. I am now back to the old me again and am desperatley wanting to go back to the REAL me.  

** I just don't understand how this could have been related to the substance: DXM that I used three days earlier. I mean,  why would I have experienced this days after already returning back to normal? This is what makes me think this was the cause of something else and is why I am asking if anyone else has experienced anything like this??

I can't remember the last time I slept without waking up every couple  hours. Ever since I've had my first few projections, I have been waking up  several times during the night - feeling disoriented. Usually its after/during a dream and I will awaken to feel my body numb and slightly vibrating. I actually have to shake my hands to get feeling back. This happened again last night, about four times. It is starting to get me truly annoyed. I'm pretty sure I am missing the exit and only aware of the re-entry. OR could it be the other way around?? I want to be able to leave my body but it seems like everytime I attempt to, I become conscious right when my astral body slips back in. Any advice on what I can do?

I was having a discussion with my friend today and she happened to have two dreams in the past two weeks that were quite similar. For instance, I had a dream she liked this guy at our school and was all over him, but he did not want to be with her. Her dream was like mine- she was all over him and he did not want to be with her. Then the next week I have a dream that I am with a guy friend- Ian- and that same night she has the same dream - but that she dating Ian. I really dont know what this means or how this is possible? Any insight? Its not like these two guys have done anything that would cause us to have dreams with them. I dont know when exactly she had these dream but I know for sure each dream she had I had in the same week. Most likely the same night.
