I can usually get out while falling asleep.  The past few times my upper body gets out fine, but my legs won't follow.  What is up w/ that?  I also have not ap'ed for awhile.  Maybe that's it.

Last night I got the vibes and got out of my body.  I jumped through my window and once outside was having a hard time seeing.  In fact the past few times out I've had problems seeing.  I've tried the "clarity now" approach, but it has not been too successful.  Anyways, once outside, I couldn't see and kept brushing the hair out in front of my eyes (which is weird cause I shave my head) in a chance that it would give me focus.  It didn't work.  So I thought to myself I would ask questions to an answer I've been seeking.  I asked "Is there anyone who can help me?  I need to know why it is so hard for me to choose what to do in life."   I repeated this question approximately 3 or 4 times.  

Next thing I know, I'm at a beach not of this world (well of course I'm in the astral dummy). It is a little after dusk.  The sky is what was really beautiful.  Fluorescent orange illuminated the sky behind darkening clouds.  A women was seated in the sand with the water rushing up to her feet.  She was beautiful.  Of course, love was felt.  I asked, "Why is it I'm having such a hard time figuring out what to do in life."  She said, "I tend to think it's in your mind.  You have such a complex mind.  You like to do a myriad of things."  I started to rub her back at this point.  I don't know why I did that, it's just something I like to do.  She continued on, "Look at my life, I have I have a multitude of things I do as well...."  

I started to fade out.  Se was saying, "Frank, frank" I was fading out and woke up in my bed.  

I hate it when that happens.  The worse part is I don't even know why I woke up.  Maybe tonight I can get the answers I'm looking for.  Sometimes I think I'd rather be in the astral than in this world.

Hello to all. Thought I would share an experience I had about 2 weeks ago.  

    Went to bed w/ the purpose of having an ob.  Got to the hypnogogic state while keeping my mind awake.  Vibes came, i floated up from my body and decided to go through the window.  Once out of the window, i was not greeted by the normal scenery that usually surrounds my house.  I was in a different place.  I thought this must be AP.  I was floating above a road that led to a small, vibrant, well lit town.  It seemed like maybe a small college town.  It was situated at the bottom of hills.  I believe i was near water as well.  Perhaps the North Atlantic.    The hills had homes all along them, close together, similar to something you would find in a Thomas kinkade painting. Maybe something like this: http://www.kinkadecentral.com/paintings/tk2y2-05.htm

    I floated down to a tavern and walked in.  There was a gentlemen inside who had said something to me, but I could not make out what it was because to my right was the hostess.  My mind started to race because I felt an instant connection to her.  I walked right up to her and went to shake her hand. I asked what her name was.  She replied "Kelly."
She was immaculate, at least to me.  It felt like I had known her forever and the love I felt at that moment was astounding.  She was a petite lady, maybe no more than 5'5" tall.  Black hair down to her shoulders.  Very pretty face. Maybe 25-30 yrs old (I'm 29). But it wasn't so much her beauty that affected me, as it was the energy flowing between us.  I took her hand as she led me out the door and up one of the hills.  Now once outside, the small town was coming to life.  People were out, kids playing, adults laughing.  I asked where we were going, to which she pointed and I saw a carnival.  There were rides and games and everyone was having fun.  Kelly and I rode the whip and at one point during the ride, I floated out of the car and started to fade out.  I thought I had to get back to her.  I started saying her name over and over and I finally got back to her.  The carnival came back into view, but the ride was over.  She was waiting by the ride and she asked where I went.  I said I don't know, but i knew I had to get back to you.  

    I asked her how she knew me, to which she replied, "We've known each other for a long time."  I cannot explain the energy flowing between us.  It made me not want to ever leave her side.  Unfortunately not long after that, I found myself back in my body after fading out from her.  

   Unfortunately in this life I have yet to meet this wonderful being.  I have not been able to get back to her since that meeting.  I have tried twice by saying her name when out, but nothing has come of it.  Hopefully I will see her soon.

My experience w/ AP has been limited.  The first couple times I did it, the vibrations came on naturally as I was drifting to sleep.  Now that I know what I'm doing and what AP is, once I start to drift, I think, "Here we go", but then I wait and nothing happens.  I wake back up so to speak.  I can feel light vibrations, but nothing like the heaviness of my first AP.  
So I guess my question is, should I be doing something more specific to help me break through, or should I not be thinking it at all and just let it come naturally like before?  I have a real hard time sleeping after these failed attempts.  I've had to take sleeping pills to get me to sleep.  And I don't like to take them.

For the past year I have been meditating and becoming more spiritual w/ myself and the universe.  Over the past couple months, I have been drifting off to sleep, but my mind is awake.  I have had some serious vibration shake my whole body.  Last night was the first time I really "went" with it.  I had the floating sensation, but I was in a dream setting.  An old classroom, with teachers I've never seen.  I wasn't there very long, I started to float outside the room.  Next I was in a park like setting floating past a teddy bear w/ a giant head.  Then from there I flew up into the stars thinking I could make it to heaven (if there was one.  i was not quite sure of this).  But I could only make it so far.  At the end I was just stuck in space w/ nowhere to go.  Then I woke up.  

Would this be considered AP?  The only reason I think it would be because of the body vibrations.  Any thoughts?
