Since i've not projected myself, because of this my question might be completely invalid.

What most known meaningful or solid locations are out there?
Many of the projections seem to end up in random places, or border on lucid dreaming where environment might be created by the projector. What are the "closest" (to our physical world) and most related locations that can be easily reached. Ones that can be observed by multiple projectors, where "stuff" can be changed and remains more or less permanent from projection to projection and from person to person visiting the place.

After some not doing anything for a longer time i've returned to my tries with AP'ing.

A bit of background for those interested:
My biggest problem was falling asleep, no matter how i tried, i could sleep by loud music, alarm clocks.
I always failed to stay awake when relaxed, was it morning, evening or the middle of the day.

I've had some very unconscious success with binaural beats and some random vibration occasions when accidentally falling asleep in an uncomfortable pose, when i usually freaked out and "denied" vibrations because i was not expecting them and got confused.

Others skip to here:
Lately i've tried to experiment with possibly simple techniques, not requiring any additional aids (music, alarm, binaurals, deep silence) or complex attention exercises (which either keep you too alert/conscious for proper relaxation, or make you wander off in some unconscious dream).
So the technique is following - simply lie on your back and keep your arms to the both sides of you, at comfortable angle.
Then hold your fingers in similar way (pick the mundra - finger you touch with thumb, you think is best for you):

And the trick is keeping your hands with the palm facing upwards. Because when you put your hands parallel to your body or at small angle, your palms rest at approximately 45 degree angle. So you have to turn them a bit to make them face upwards.
Balance the amount of tension so that the hands are pointing up as much as possible but are still comfortable and allow you to relax.

Now what i've experienced is that this slight force is too little of a distraction to keep you away from falling asleep comfortably, since the hands are well resting on the bed (it's not like sitting and meditating when its almost impossible to fall asleep). Still, when i'm already wandered far away in my imagination and start to drift away, my palm relaxes and returns to its resting position, drawing my attention away from the unconscious wandering and leaving in an odd sleepy state.

I know it's not much, but still for me it seems as a decent and reliable way of capturing and extending the awake/asleep transition. And i can adjust the state at which my attention is "reset", by varying the amount of force i apply to keep my palm facing up. The more i allow my hand to rest, the more dreamy the state at which i regain consciousness is, but then the risk of falling asleep completely increases aswell.
It is even better because of its double action - finger tip separation, palm relaxing.

Since the time (and the concept of it in general) in physical ("real") world and when "being out" is not directly linked (unless the place/time/dimension you visit is close/realtime) how come so many OOBE's i have red about in here have very similar length (approx. 5..30 minutes) in time and actually do have a real, perceivable time (at least described by travelers).

Is it linked to the speed of thought process, "real" world time counting habits, majority of OBEE's taking act in "real time zone", energy required to process information (influencing the count of events/thoughts expierienced, and only later interpolated over physical worlds time scale) or does it have completely different explanation.

Looking from a more practical perspective. If one wants to explore surrounding world, by moving around it , so in a way interacting with matter (by a way of exploration so close to physical world), which must have be linked to space and thereby time (since they come together as spacetime), at least in the explorers "head"... there will be some more or less objective time scale which might influence the explorer to return. But if someone projects, for example to explore a thought.. an idea or concept, it is not necessary to end up in world so entangled to physical one... how should one proceed to projection to get into such type of realm... because at the moment you perceive projection as "getting out", "exiting", "traveling" its too constrained to ways of physical world. And if one manages to get in such state, it might be an eyeblink in "real" world (not consuming any sleep time, body resources, only little load on the brain while receiving and processing memories about experience, if its needs to be transferred to brain at all) while an eternity have passed thinking during projection.

P.S. I hope my English is at least understandable and my ideas aren't too cluttered.

  Ive noticed that during whole year there are few times this happens(already 4..5 times experienced this).
  This happens during sleep. Everything is as normal until one point where i have a sensation of something imminent, and other sensation that "asks" me to confirm if im ready "to begin" or something like that(hard to describe, but it feels very similar).
  When i mentally confirm/advance to this something noise like state kicks in by wavy-like sensation filling whole my dream body and replacing all my dream or any world senses. At this point all there is(all i feel, hear, see, think) is something i could describe like scanning trough entire fm spectrum - mostly static, with some stations or mix of them: voices/music etc. So for few(~10) seconds this thing is rushing all over me, and after the initial "kick" feels quite pleasurable, then in few seconds it fades away, leaving me completely conscious and awake and a little buzz still in my head/body slowly fading away.
  So what is this, already quit regular occurrence. Is this spontaneous vibrations one can use to project? Is it just a dream (im quite in doubt coz usually during them i feel very conscious, like being already woken up and then thrown in this soup of noise), or something else.
So if its vibes, how do i prolong them/get OBE, if not any suggestions on what could it be welcome.

Thought that some of you just might have it interesting to read:

Some years ago, when i was still in high school, i was trying to project quite alot. I wasnt capable of doing conscious journeys, but anyways, i could get to vibrations, had varios interesting senses, like being pulled trought  Hydro-electric station turbines, heard voices that freaked me out, also had numerous unconscious "things" while asleep, like feeling as being squeezed to single point(singularity) and going trought some kind of colored gradients(i tought i was dying) etc. It was nothing special, or conscious, but still, those were some expieriences, i could learn from (like, where else in life you could lear how does it feels to be a single dot).

After finishing High School, i had to work, study etc, so i didn't had much time and energy(come home ... eat ... study .. 2 a.m .. fall asleep in no time) for that kind of stuff. Recently, i have, continued my attempts to project, but now its like there is no such stuff at all, if i lie down for projection or try to meditate, i don't feel any lightness, strange sensations, or any other astral projection related stuff, all i can feel or think about is sleeping ore some everyday problems. Interesting, since now my body is a bit improved and i don't get spine pain form meditation, or don't feel uncomfortable lying 2-3 hrs in my bed without moving, but i don't get any sleep paralysis, or something. Where is the problem, that nothing happens..nothing at all, even if i try even harder than before(on the other hand, not that often).

First of all, i havnt projected..yet so i dont know how its either, but as i understand from what i read its one of those things you cant miss..like some say you will know when youre in love, if you doubt youre not..
..thing that can cause confusion is if you project from so sleepy state that your projection mixes with dream..since you "project" that way every night it cant be called a real projection..or its so dizzy after all that you cant tell if youre projected or not?

Its like everything is the same but something is going on..
Dont say you dont think nothings happening, some days im just panically running trought news..i just got the feeling that somethings on and i dont know it..its passing me by..
Or media has did this to me, programmed me in way i expect horrbile accidents to happen, because they show this to us as an event/braking news, not as a catastrphe?
Or its just my age..?

..Whatever, just tell me your opinion, wtf is going on!?

[edit] i could define it this way too:
i feel detached from something, like i know something is out there almost like tryint to find me/call me/tel me something..but i cant hear, i feel like im in box, so im using internet, te "get out" ... strange .. maybe its somekind of psychological disfunction, because of too much time by pc or smthing eles..enyway..discussions welcome

Does stuff you do, things you change there stay? Or its like dreams, "reset" every time, or you can continiue something you began in astral, or you shouldnt expect to get "kicked in" the same enviroment again...

Im not using some specific tehnique but just laying down there and experimenting with what i feel...
...jesterday i remembered one thing i wanted to try out, when i start to get floaty like feelings before faaling asleep i just try to not project, like trying to avoid them, but in my mind, not by moving..etc. actually it was quite effective, vibrations started to rush in almost instantly...
...now im not anymore so excited by vibrations etc that this would disturb my toughts, but out of nowhere ther is some point when my hertrate increases and beats become quite loud, and i need to breathe more too, thats whats disturbing me now..any adivces?

and btw, altrought fear is not problem for me, but sometimes when i put headphones on(usually with music, not brainwaves) i get the tought of someones presence in room, so i found a grait way to get rid of these toughts/calm them down...
...since im a guy, i just imagine that there is a cool girl in my room instead of *some thing*
just dont let your imagination to goo too far or youll be distracted from projecting

There is a time every morning i automatically wake up and feel virtually very fresh(no ned for sleep), i just "pop out", dream cuts off, and my eyes are open, its usually from 5-6 am but may vary, usually i just look trought window/at clock and sleep further, why this is happening?
And its almos every morining, independent from time its actualy is it feels like its always the same time...almost like a kick..
..sometimes i think it happens when dream "movie" ends
..can i do something with that?

I belive a lot off things, but still tend to be sceptic (or saying carefull i prefer)..
after reading this:
http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=21419&postdays=0&postorder=asc&&start=50
i would be happy that anyone describes me basics of aura camera, because as i know now its usually about lying ang just getting random images using "special" design
..kirlian photo could be somewhat more true..

how to stay conscious, why i always let by that moment, what toughts ar best to keep you conscious, but no too alert (loud music helps for me too..unless im to tired)

And, why your awareness is so unstable when youre like out, is it some kind of "interference" from your sleeping body/mind.
Or "astral body" can fall asleep and get out of control too ?

Ive heard if you sleep crossed hand on your chest protects you from evil spirits/witches..anywhy thats not the point..
Are there any body positions, enviroment options that can hold you "wired"/locked to your body. Like sometimes i can lie down for longer if my legs ar crossed, or i can even imagine myslef projecting while im on my side..
..on the opposite side once i got wibes and i guess unconscious projection while i was like smashed into corner of my bad with my head leaned pack, head in pillow so i couldnt even breathe normally..(i just felt asleep like that
..any other expieriences regarding to positons..

Since i have not projected yet i would like to ask to those or to people who know what do "professional"(the ones who can do it at will an as long as they want) trippers do, i mean they have ended up with just playing around, what, except peace they find "there" do they travel in space, learn something?

I just realised that i havnt seen any actual telekinesis video, i would love to watch one, could someone be so kind and give me a link or even take a video doing it )

tnx

Im very sleepy, almost every time i lay down i will fall asleep, so usually when i try to project i fall asleep...

1)When im trying to project i remember that when im asleep/dreaming, i can get vibrations and other stuff easier,  i think i even got out once, but its all very blurry, and covered with dreams, so it isnt any real conscios projection...

2)I could try to project while im meditating, but then i have to keep my back/spine straight, is it ok that its not relaxed, becose its being kept straight...

3)ANy other suggestions about sleeping, and how non-sleepy can u be to project

Sorry about my grammer but that spellchecker dosnt works for me..

I just found out that i have a very big problem, beofer i ever know anything about APing, once, i had a very big vish to get out of my body and to get to one star, i was begging/forcing myself to even die only get out of my body and where i wanted to go...so i felt a sleep, "woke up" from vibrations, i freaked out and ordered them to stop...(See what you can get with good motivation?)

No i want to project but i cant find a good motivation, a real reason why i should project, i dream to fly, explore universe and beyond, of course in beginning a could just play walking trought walls, so what can you suggest for motivation(not anything detailad, just ideas)?

Can you just force yourself with idea that you want to get out there..?

my big "monologus" again

What do you think about it?
There is so much stars in our galaxy but such event is only now registered, a star leaving galaxy...
This may sound a little crazy, but here it goes:
i have an idea(not really serious) that this could be a alien spaceship for whole its civlisation to leave this galaxy for some reason..for example a gamma ray brust?
Any other ideas ?
JUst willing to chat about it...

What is this high pitched noise in your head, from where it comes...
...ah while im writing i tried to listen to it, it becames louder, and i noticed that it starts to remind that sound when i get wibrations...offtopic..
so where it comes from, could this be used for target on wich to concentrate, to clear your mind...
Anyway, tell me something about it...

Recently when im asleep i bacome aware for a short time that im asleep(i think becose my mind is full of ideas about APing etc, im excited becose im new to it all), then i usually try to wake my mind up (do some math, remember my personal data etc), but it usually dont helps, i continiue to dream after few seconds, and forget that im asleep.

1)Can i take control in such situation, or its just a part of a dream(like im dreaming that im aware of my dream)

2)What is the best way to "kick" your mind "on", and avoid dreaming.

http://www.bcx.net/hypnosis/induct.htm
I red first chapter/part(introduction/tima saving tips) and its exactly the samewhen i try to do some of this stuff(aping,obe,telekinesis)...
I havnt finished reading it.. but maybe there is something usefull to help get in trance state..

Can i be hipnotized for example in english, if my native language isnt english, but i understand every word in hypnosis?
Is there any way to hypnotize myself to do OBE, so i truly belive its possible and so on?

And is it  important in binaural(?or how they are called?) rythms to preserve channel positions(L/R-left headphone in left ear right in right)

http://www.pmicro.kz/MISC/UFL/Almanach/4n99/WaterA.htm
I think its very interesting,
maybe science has came close to astral/etheric/energetic stuff,
Read the "Alive and Dead Water" part, btw, all information is here:
http://www.pmicro.kz/MISC/UFL/Almanach/AxionA.htm
Thats the only site where i could find exact descriptions and photographies of "working"(still have to make some of the simple ones and check it out) devices.
What do you think about that?
Something about passive generators and humans as generators:
http://www.pmicro.kz/MISC/UFL/Almanach/N2_96/Resonators.htm

Update:strange, but all stuff from http://www.pmicro.kz is gone, luckly i made a copy(intuition?) of all it before, and there are other places where is some(almost all, except that magazine and few links) of the information:
http://www.subtleenergies.com/ormus/spinfield/AxionA.htm

What to do if i have a very great fears from something(you couldnt even imagine, id ont know a single person  who had the same fears)...
(I dont even remember, my mom told me so..)It began when i was a small child and i stepped on smaal animal and killed him,  actually it is absolutely defensless creature, but near hime there whas something sharp in grass, and i stepped on it too( i didnt even cut my leg, just a little pain), but now im already 18 and i still start to panic(my hearbeating increases, i star to think illogicaly, very strange feeling, not like other simple fears) even if i see a photo of this creature...
Could this fear affect my spiritual activities..
Is it possible to get over them trought lucid dreaming, or i could create my worst nightmare?
Any other ideas...
Btw, im only affraid of one type of this creatures(and some wich are similar in appearance)

Is there any IRC or other realtime chat where members of this forum can be found?
Or you all chat astrally ....
