ok guys , I was really really tired last night .. to the point where I could just close my eyes and my mind would start daydreaming .. if I could sit there for like 10 seconds in my chair all relaxed with my eyes closed  ( a position I sleep in on the bus to school ) I started seeing things pretty clear .. like a wooden railing on some stairs , it was pretty vivid.  So I tried putting 2 cards on my nightstand near me face up.. I then closed my eyes again whie I was still tired as hell and instead of trying to imagine myself looking at the cards right from the start I waited till the normal daydream-like images came in before I imagined myself looking at them .. I tried not to see what was on the cards at first .. just kinda hovered over them a bit until I got a .. (corner of the eye) sorta sight .. I saw black and read .. then the shapes came and I saw hearts and spades on the 2 cards ..     I opened my eyes and check them .. it was hearts and spades! The numbers werent correctly as I imagined.

Is that a fluke or is that how you remote view or could I use that to put myself in my astral body and explore ?  When you go astral , does your mind create sorta what you EXPECT to see rather than whats really there ? at least until you ask for clarity ? Or is it the same as actually getting up and walking to the place you are trying to project to ? When I try to look at the careds right from the start , my mind puts numbers on the cards for me and mostly they are wrong .. this way I did it last night , I got the suits right until I started to see the numbers then my mind made them up for me .. What are your views on this ?

Aright guys , I have been havin a lot of trouble lately trying to project..I just seem to find my self lieing in bed ...completely relaxed .. feeling my body with a numb feeling .. its wierd.. then when I notice the thoughts coming into my head , I just watch them and try not to drift off to sleep .. then I notice one of those random LOUD sounds and I still remain passive .. nothing else happends really.  Its been like that for a while. After falling asleep everynight for about 3 weeks. . I'm finally able to like..stay awake while watching me dreams almost hehe.. anyway , I think I should take a break .. maybe until Christmas rolls around.

I will ask my parents to get me a few books on astral projection.. The first book I'm gonna get is "Astral Dynamics" .. does anyone reccomend a few book that will HELP me project?  I dont want ones filled with experiences that someone had, I'm really interested in ones that will HELP me project.  Can anyone gimmi their suggestions?

Also , I'm thinking of maybe just doing energy raising a little bit instead of having the intent to have an OOBE .. should I continue what I'm doing now ? Or just do energy raising  , or just lay off the whole thing until christmas? What do you guys think =P I'm leaving it up to someone else to decide this for me hehe I kinda give up for now lol.  Thanks guys , take care.

Can someone tell me exactly what Phasing is ?  Is that just the stuff that you find in those tapes everyone is talking about ? I dont have any cash to spend on them cause I dont have a job at the moment but if thats the only way to "phase" into the astral then maybe I should quit trying to figure out what it is.   Sorry you have to excuse my rambling , I'm extremely tired..  What I'm trying to ask is ..

What is the difference in Phasing and Projecting ?
If phasing is something to look into for projection into astral or the realtime zone , where can  I find more info on it ?  



Also , I have a question about the "Roll out" method .. if your not supposed to physically move your body when you do it ..then it means you imagine that right ?  I get feelings that my upper part of my body is kinda floating up and my feet are still on the bed sometimes .. is this normal for anyone?  Thanks

Hey , if weed is indeed some way to help in projection conciously.. does it hurt your astral body ? meaning ... you wont be able to have an OOBE eventualy ?  Or .. does it give you bad karma in the karmic law system or something ? What I'm trying to ask is .. if poeple say weed helps in projection , is it really that much of a BAD BAD BAD thing to use it to project? Even if you dont smoke it that often ? ( like once every 2 weeks or so ? ) I'm worried cause if try weed , I may not have an OOBE or something cause I may have damaged my astral body already... can anyone clarify ?

This was a thought that had occured to me a while ago but somethign was just keeping me from posting it .. finally I let loose and said what the hell . let me see what everyone thinks about this..


Has anyone tried to get someone to pass them out ? Like .. a choke hold in wrestling , with the intent to have an OOBE once they are unconcious?

Or has anyone tried to spin around in circles to create the dizzyness ? Then layed on the floor to use those feeligns maybe to leave the body ?  

I dunno if its possible but if so .. it would be easy as hell to do to right?  Maybe I'll mess with this sometime but has anyone ever tried it already ?

Hehe thanks and sorry for posting so many messages , I'm jst trying to help and be helped   http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/images/icon_Smile_tongue.gif" border=0>

ok.. I was doing the breath awareness again .. but only for a minute or so .. then I decided to go on an imagine myself lieing down in another part of the room (first person).. I tried as hard as  Icould to really try to FEEL myself there in hopes of drawing my astral body there... well that didnt work well ... nothing happened.. so I thought  "Where can I try to imagine myself lieing down .. and actually make myself feel like I'm there..?"   then I thought .. My bed ! Which is where I'm currently laying down ... SO then I imagined myself lieing down right where I was , in first person .. and when I did that , I dunno if It was a centimeter off or what but I tried to imagine my self in first person right hwere I was as best as I could and I instantly lost my hearing .. I like .. went deaf .. then felt like i was floating .. well .. FLYING backwards in a tunnel sorta fast .. a tunnel that I couldnt see cause I had my eyes closed .. thats jst the feeling I got .. Then I decided to try the "sit up " method in hopes of doing it in astral instead of my physical body sitting up .. But I was paralyzed totally .. this surprised me since I didnt get vibrations ... also .. somehwere in between this process , I heard what sounded like the brainwave generator program .. a pulsing tone sorta noise... after I had tried to sit up , it broke the trance I was in and I jst got up and got straight on my computer.  This was early in the morning after I was kinda awake for 10 minutes just chillin in the bed after waking up on my own ( no alarm nothin)..  

      I'm suggesting to you guys to try that method .. imagine yourself in first person right wher you are lieing down .. hell dont try hard at all since you can already feel yourself there .. just try to create a double and maybe if it doesnt work , try imagining yourself a few inches over to the left or right ... or if it comes easier .. maybe a few inches or feet above?  I dunno , I jst imagined myself right inside my body in first person and got the feelings.  Good luck .. I kinda got a strong sense that I should let everyone know about this after I did it. I dunno if it was a sign or what .. Cya!

Ever since I got the vibrations from doing the breath awareness technique listed here ...http://www.kryten.demon.co.uk/astral/meditation.htm .      I've been trying ever since to get the same reactions.  Well , the first time I got the vibrations doing this technique was a few nights ago and it caught me by surprise .. after breathing and counting for a while , I got this very clear mental movie pop in my head .. it was a friend of mine sitting at a table with a piece of colored candy in front of him .. we were discussing the flavor of it ... then it changed colors .. we then discussed what THAT color taste like .. ( red - strawberry or cherry ,  blue - blueberry ,  etc .... ) and when I got to black , I said .. hmm .. Liquorish ?(sp?)    And the movie was interrupted by a vibration in my throat .. I knew what this was and I ignored it to try not to get too exctited .. the more I thought about it, the more it went away so I continued to think about the mental movie .. then I decided to test it .. I said to myself " hmm if thats the vibrations .. let me try to move and see if I'm paralysed "   well indeed I couldnt move at all and that broke it cause  shortly after ,I was jst lieing there thinking about how cool it was !   When I rolled over to try it from a different position , I instantly thought of the colored candy thing and started to feel quite wierd within seconds .. kinda like I was being pulled out of my body by my last rib on the right side .. it kinda tickled .. then when I broke out of it .. I felt that spot and my dog had crawled up right there and crapped out for the night hehehe.    This might help someone so I decided t put it in some detail .. but  heres a question I have ..      I've noticed that from doing this breath awareness technique , I always get some kind of mental image that keeps me awake and it gets clearer and clearer but why is it happening ? Is it hypnogig imagery ?  A little while ago , I got like .. a blip screen .. where my inhales made the spike go up , and an exhale made another spike go down .. it was wierd but very clear to me .. I noticed my body starting to numb , feet first .  Can anyone tell me what they think about all this ?        I tried breath awareness to day jst a few minutes ago but I didnt get the vibrations .. it took about 40 minutes to get the dizzy feelings like Iwas just about on the verge of sleep.

I have windows XP and when I run the flasher thing is says something about a division by zero .. so I booted mysystem in windows 98second edition and ran it ... same results .. so then I rebooted in MS-DOS mode and still got the same results .. am I doin something wrong ? What do I need to run the Flasher ? And is the Flashing thing on the brainwave generator the same thing ?  Thanks

Ok guys, I'm having the hardest time trying to stay awake when I want to project at night.  Here is basically what im doing in hopes of having an OOBE.

1) I lay in my bed and make sure everything is relaxed. Usually my eyes want to come open or at least stay somewhat open and my jaw wants to drop creating an uncomfortable breathing feeling for me when I relax my head.

2) once I try to work out number 1's comfort issues .. I try to breath in the white clouds of energy and breath out toxic stressful clouds to put myself in a trance...I get feelings of .. falling slowly ... time slowing down .. and something which I just found out is probably know as the "void"  .. its where I see the blackness behind my eyes get a lot bigger .. like a galaxy without stars .. but I dont know what to do with these .. or if I should do anything at all.

3) I sometimes get voices and random sounds that are usually quite loud in my head or I may hear what sounds like my voice really really loud .  I heard my door slam or something one time .  I also heard someone calling the name "Tina" .. after that session of random noises (which may only has 4 seconds or so ) I get random thoughts  .. jst anything  .. like a big hamburger falling off a table or something quite silly.

4) then I fall asleep ... So I think  most of the times , right after the random silly thoughts , I fall asleep.. I dont know how to keep myself awake .. what I should focus on  or if I should focus on anything in particular .. maybe someone can give me some insight on this ? Thanks all!  If I leave out anything .. Ill try to edit my post =P

Thanks again

Hey guys , this is what I try to do to project..

1)I lay in bed , stretch my whole body , all my joins , crack knuckles , toes , etc .. then I stretch my face muscles so they are more relaxed

2) I start to breath in white light and out a dark cloud .. it calms me a whole lot ..

3) I find that the more relaxed I get , the louded that high pitched sound comes .. ( that sound you get when everythigns quiet ) so I focus on it ..
Since its the easiest thing for me to focus on to keep those random surface thought from appearing..

4) after a while , my mind starts to drift and I find ith ard to fight those random thoughs , sometime after that , I start to notice my sight ( the blackness behing my eyelieds ) gets .. really big .. its like I really start to notice the blackness that I've been staring at and it feels like someone put me in a huge black universe or something.. I also feel like thigns get really slow and I get feelings of .. like .. whooom whoom whoom whom , kinda like a big huge fan slowing down , getting slower and slower , thats what it feels like .. ( isnt a feeling of slowness a sign of trance ? )

5) shortly after that ,  my eyelids start to come open , I guess cause I finally relax my face muscles enough .. then It sorta makes me think about my physical body again and takes me outta the trance...

6) whe n Istart it all over again , I fall asleep .. It makes me mad and when I wake up the next morning .. I dont remember how I fell asleep so I find it very very hard to project since I fall asleep so easily .. please what can I do to maybe stop my eyelids from coming open or what can I do to not fall asleep like I do ?  Any tip ?  Thanks Guys

Hello everyone , I am new to the forums but I have been visiting this page quite often during the past month .. I just realized they had a forum lol.

Anyway , I have been reading a whole lot about astral projection and I have been trying lots of thing to project..  
I have had 3 experiences so far .. my first was quite scary cause it felt like my toes were bending backwards and my legs were cramping but I could see through my eyelids perfectly and it felt as if my head was placed on my chest ( that was the viewpoint I got ) , My second experience was waking from a lucid dream to find myself very aware of the position I was sleeping in .. then I simply did a pushup like motion and 'peeled' myself from my ethric body and got off my bed to examine myself sleeping .. then walked around my room a bit and examined thing .. then I looked back at my body and it was not on the bed anymore .. I dunno what that was all about ..
My third experience was much more realistic .. It happened one morning in class .. I was dead tired and I was in a very comfortable position in my desk .. I was listening to the teacher go over a test with my eyes closed .. then I had thoughts of "Hmm maybe I should project" so I then started thinking about how relaxed I was and every now and then I would look up at the board to try to figure out what my teacher was explaining , then put my head back down.. well.. after a while , I suddenly heard the buzzing noise and felt vibrations ( this was surprising to me ) .. I heard them a few seconds after I started focusing on that little high pitched noise that you hear when everything is really quiet .. but anyway , after  Igot that buzzing experience , I remained relaxed and just let it happen .. then I heard my friend trying to get my attention ..  He was calling out my name  so I ignored him for a bit and then I decided to turn to him and talk to him ..  I realized then that I couldnt move at all ..  iwas totally paralyzed and it was pretty exciting .. then I was getting worried so  Iwaited for him to touch me .. when he did , I jerked furiously in the direction I was trying to move.. We were both pretty shocked hehe..

That is the most realistic experience I've had after reading all this about astral projection but my problem is ..  Icant enduce it when I want to.  I will lay down and I can get my body 100 percent relaxed and very very comfortable .. then I will think about a bunch of things and try to clear my mind a bit until I'm thinking about one thing .. being somewhere closeby and staring at something .. eventually I will get a falling feeling and my body will start to itch in various places .. this REALLY REALLY AGGRIVATES ME .. ohh GOD  I hate it .. I will sit there and try to focus on making it go away until it does .. then after that stage is over .. I dont really experience anything else .. I will feel my muscles start to twitch  and then I'm just left lieing there .. when I think my body is asleep , I'll test it by moving a limb and I will get frustrated cause when I try to move. . I move .. I'm not paralyzed at all .. I cannot enduce the vibrations or the paralysis at all.  I tried doing this today and I just lay on my bed for like 2 hours feeling nothing .. I tried the rope technique , chakra engerizing , breathing in white light and exhaling toxic clouds , breathing and counting my breaths , I tried everything and I got no feelings at all..

What should I do ?  I know that if I'm really tired , I can get the dizzy feelings , heaviness , floating feelings ,but then I just fall sleep and wake upthe next morning.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong or what I should try?  Whats the best way to enduce the vibrations ? If I get to that point , I really think i can work something out.  

Thanks , By the way , I'm reading the Treatise on OOBE now , I'm at page 96
Long live the boards !

in my experience , my intent was to have sex with my GF and I simply snapped my fingers lol.. It was rediculously cool and simple.  The sex was great and it was so real that I started feeling my physical body making noises while it was sleeping in my desk in class... It was moaning!  At first I didnt really realize waht the feeling was but it was my voicebox making scratchy breathing sounds So.. its pretty real.  And remember , you can be in total control of your astral surroundings once you get the hang of it.

Andali , did you happen to see yourself or anything while you felt as though you were floating above yourself?  It sounds to be like you had a spontaneous OBE.  The sleep deprivation technique tends to work wonders for going OBE even if you arent really trying.. I find that it works almost as much as when I AM trying to go OBE with it hehe.  Theres nothing to be scared of while going OBE.. I've done many times in many positions and in many ways and I've not been harmed yet. I've even done it while running fever from a sitting position and still was not harmed so if you are scared of OBEs at all , you shouldn't be.  The odd light feeling is definately familiar to me , it was a trigger that let me know paralysis of the body was about to set in if it hasnt already and thats when I start to see through my eyelids or feel vibrations... its exactly what it sounds like.. and odd light feeling.. hardly any other way to explain it. But anyway , sounds to me like you had an OBE whether you tried or not and you should start to write some things down so that you might be able to duplicate it in the future if you wish to do so Good luck , have fun and remember to change your underwear daily!

Saint , I'll make this short because im about to sleeeeeep but I believe differently about the whole concious exit vision being blurry.  Mine sure isnt and one night when I Did verify something to be true my vision was crystal clear so that might not apply to everyone.  

When you said you can "never" tell if your room is real or not from a dream projection.. well.. thats another thing that would limit you.  I believe that each one of us has our own way to become more aware on the astral plane.. and it could possibly bring us back to the real-time reality-fluctuation-less zone.  The way you are coming across is that if you dont have a concious OBE (not one from a dream) then youll never be able to prove your experiences? I'm not sure but thats the message I got. Lemmi know if I'm wrong though.

Im off to bed =;/ Night.

holy reality , there are a bunch of experiences that we seem to have that relate a LOT. I read your takes on paralysis/vibrations and the outcomes of each.  I agree with most of them and the ones I dont agree on were still very very similar to what I've experiences given that combo.  

My room has never been 100% right but maybe* one time and that was when I walked through a wall and proved to my dad that he was laying at the foot of his bed in an awkward way and I had no way of seeing that nor was I in his room at all that night physically.  

I cant remember if that exit was from playing with imagery and controlling it to turn into a mental picture of a cannon shooting nintendo character out into the sky and flipping them around or if I just got astral vision and easily floated out.. I wish I could remember! Its been so long but I know my room was more realistic looking than ever and when I told my dad how I had seen him at the foot of his bed like that .. he read 2 chapters of an OBE book I got heh.  I believe we can walk the physical plane but it requires a bit more focus and the ability to control reality fluctuations and become more aware while out in order to sustain such a realistic OBE.  The longer I'm out , the more reality fluctuations happen and the more I feel like I'm going to wake up unless I stop and stare at something while reminding myself that I'M OUT!

Good post holy reality , we should talk some time

I did breathing exercises last night and they proved to get me very very deep into trance.  There were two occasions where I could not tell if I was laying down cross legged or with both legs parallel to each other.. It felt 50-50 so I made a guess and moved them... I WAS WRONG =/  I thought my left ankle was over my right one.  I remember feeling quite wierd before I fell asleep.. my breathing sort of became second priority no matter how hard I tried.. my mind was being sucked by imagery I wasnt focussed on and even imagery sounds that I tried not to hear.  I could have stayed awake in that stage for a minute and experienced some trippy things while still awake but I tried to keep breathing slowly and imagining clean energy entering and toxic energy leaving..along with body tension.

I think I'll be giving my breathign exercises a go for a while.. they seem to be producing nice effects for me

well , as far as I know , that was some kind of experience in the astral planes.. or at least , thats what I would have considered it.. Depending on whether or not you were actually experiencing hypnagogic imagery or you were truly "OUT" would let me know for sure what the eperience was..

I have experienced so many things with OBEs that its starting to confuse me now... my latest experience was wierd.. I knew I was in paralysis after listening to my classroom chat and the moment I realized it , I started to move just to test it and found out that it was particularly harder to get "out" that time than normal so I started doing my alternate exit techniques while im paralysis which consisted of a few visualization techniques , a roll out technique , and a few other thing I made up due to some past experiences and successes.<--- This whole sentence is probably what many of you posting here need to try... hell , make stuff up to get further if you have to.

Anyway , I didnt manage to make it 100 out that time but I was in lingo.. I was able to visualize things perfectly yet wasnt aware of it at the time.. I mean.. when I tried to visualize the class with my eyes closed,  the vision was not centered in my sight .. it looked like it was coming from the corner of my eyes and coming into focus only every few seconds but for a short time... I was still aware of my classroom sounds and of being awake yet I was experiencing this awkward vision as crisp as I would have if my eyes were open.  I then tried to picture myself in that envisioned classroom (which was empty in my vision but had 8 people in it for real)... When I did that , I somehow managed to get first person view from a different part of the classroom yet this was when I lost some awareness.. I forgot I was in paralysis for a sec and started to associate with some of the people who had suddenly popped up there (in similar positions to where they were for real)... I dont remember what I said to everyone but I remember that even though I had 1st person vision , I was still not fully there and even less aware and about to slip into a dream so I switched back to my paralysed physical body's perception and tried to re-exit with more awareness or something... I think I drifted off to sleep finally yet opened my eyes calmly as soon as someone went to playing a trick on me in class from "falling asleep".  It seems like while sleeping , I can still be aware of things around me a whole lot more if I fell asleep while trying to go OBE.

My point is that , things happen strangely while OBE.. somewhere in that projection I remember giving up on leaving my body and just messing with the paralysis state... I was visualizing my self walking up the sides of the walls of my room and I got all the feelings you would get if you actually did it im sure.. even when I went upside down and walked on the ceiling. (the whole stomache feeling).  

Maybe next time you have an experience where you know you are dreaming , start rationalizing a bit.. think stuff like.. "Hmm.. a tunnel....riiiiight...." and begin doing what you want to do because at that point you should know that you dont really want to be in a purple tunnel seeing purple aura people.. hell , wouldnt you rather be flying at breakneck astral speeds through your hometown or meeting with your spiritual guides or something more productive?  

Right now I can only tell how aware I am during my OBEs only AFTER they happen... rarely am I able to tell how aware I am during one.. I managed to start picking out all the reality fluctuations in one OBE one day.  I reminded myself while OBE that I've experienced reality fluctuations before (doors in diff spots , diff placement of furniture etc..) and I spent a little while picking some out in my school gym.. what I failed to realize was that there were a few noticable ones that I didnt catch until after I came back in and I've been dissapointed with myself ever since.  I wonder if some of the more experienced projectors like robert bruce still experience reality fluctuations in the rtz or even if they have lessened with experience.  

One thing I'm working on proving is that re-exiting the body might actually be helping with reality fluctuations and it seems that a faster , has sometimes left me with a good representation of my surroundings while OBE than some of my harder more drawn out paralysis exits... by that I mean.. the ones where I seem to stretch and stretch what seems like an invisible shield of plastic wrap until I dont feel like I'm attached to anything anymore.

If you are lucky enough to get out often, I suggest that you study your routine, state of mind/body, environment, stress levels , comfort levels , eating habits , a lot of things... prior to , during , and after a successful or unsuccessful OBE attemp.

Its hard to monitor whats going on with my mind during successful attempt because it seems like I am real fixed on leaving and then I get caught up thinking about something else which almost takes me to a dream then i suddenly snap out of it and moments later I just know and feel paralysis .. only then does it get interesting for me.  That is something I'm working on .. the missing memory part of my OBEs sitting up..  I think because I'm sitting up , I am able to "snap back awake" and when I'm in bed,  thats the point where I just fall asleep.  

Sorry if I'm rambling .. I really should write a freakin book on my studies.. hell i dont even keep them documented *smacks head*.*lazy alert lazy alert*

Good luck on your experiences and I hope you manage to figure out how to take some control of them if thats what your problem is.  Even if it is .. taking control of your experience can be quite a task also , at least for me =/  but thats another rambling

yo Cezyl,  I still think your coming down too hard on yourself.  I guess if you had those feelings bottled up inside then its good of you to let it out somehow and fix it like you've been doing with some other problems lately.  This is one of them that hasnt surfaced much if at all lately in our conversations over the phone but now I see that it effected you much more than you portrayed.  I'm glad to see you learned something more and from sharing that to everyone here , I think we all took a little something in from your "confession".  Still though , your not hurting anyone in my eyes.  I dont feel bad helping people through their roadblocks if someone questions me on these forums or on messenger.  I believe I've admitted in the past that I'm not all that great yet either but I know a lot about AP and what feelings are felt during stages of trance and I'll continue to try to help people mainly because there have been many to benefit from my advice.

The same goes for you .. you shouldnt "step down".  I dont think you need to at all.  You are helping people as well as yourself and personally , I dont think you've created that illusion of being "the man".  I've never heard you talk about you being better than anyone.  I know you more than anyone posting on these boards I'm sure and at least I can say that you are a genuine person. Keep staying true to yourself , keep writing that book and keep working for that goal of "being the man" and you'll get it.

Meanwhile , I'm staying on my path and I'll be the man someday as well Were all headed in the same direction anyway

I'm so sorry I didnt reply to my post sooner , I totally forgot about it honestly.  I guess I really do a lot of things =/...

I do a lot of things during the day I guess..

1)I dont leave my room so my guitar is always by me and I play it during my spare time in between game loading screens and webpage downloading...(yes its true I pick it up and put it down a million times a day)

2)Talk to people on messenger about programming and maintaining a game server

4)Constantly worry about my girlfriend and I's relationship because of her mom and phsycho stepdads.
   A) Cant call her
   B) She hardly calls me
   C) We cant date yet ( she too young )
   D) I've distanced myself to her lately
   E) I dont know if things will change when she's 17 and I fear breaking up with her
   F) New situation regarding the possibility that shes getting close to another guy and her lieing to me about going somewhere with him doesnt help my stress level. Wondering if she might be cheating on me....
   G) If I continued , I'de reach the end of the alphabet for sure.


5) Procrastinate ...
  A) Chores
  B) School make-up work
  C) Cleaning my room

6) Play warcraft 3 online if I'm not on my game server I program on.

7) Go to bed at about 1:00am or later or earlier depends on how tired I am. My imagery is so random and rediculous that it doesnt resemble much of my actual stressed out life much at all most of the time.

I could name a few more but each and every day those 7 things are major part of my day.  

The most stress in my life is from my girlfriend and my procrastination.  I could fix my procrastinating if I wasnt so lazy.. I know I dont have anything better to do but ... =/  I dunno.

I dont know what else everyone else does during the day but each day of my life its like that unless I end up going to a fast food resturaunt with a friend or something like that.  The only work I do is at my dad's chicken farm so its not like I have to work much at all. Maybe a few days a week every few weeks or so.



The imagery hits me hardest when I try to quiet my mind.  I'll keep a notebook by me tonight and write down the things I think about while not trying to think at all.

Hey luvchild , I experience the same things.. I had quite a few experiences where I would get out straight from paralysis (not from a dream) and look on my bed to see myself there then look away and explore my room , then turn back and I was gone .. no body on the bed anymore.  Happened a few more times and I have no idea why..  I wish I knew what to tell you but .. your not alone That should be somewhat comforting.

I'm pretty much done with it , I met with my mentor and all I have left is my speech.. my booklet is done (I have revise it a bit before making a copy for online viewing). Thanks for the concern I'll let you all know when the book is ready.  Dont expect anything spectacular , its my first attempt and is most likely gonna be very unprofessional looking. =/

Nah I didnt draw that pic , I got it from some website.

I had 2 episodes where I found it hard to get back in my body.. one was my first OBE where a huge black orb thing was seemingly rolling me up into a ball and I couldnt move , scream , re-enter, nothing until it suddenly ended and left me fully awake with a tingly physical body.

The other was when I went OBE in my gym at school and it was like... the 3rd OBE that class period ( I kept leaving and re-entering at will).  I found myself stuck in a paralyzed physical body getting vision from either through my eyelids or through my half-opened physical ones.. I was able to read the letters on my sweatshirt and see my hood's drawstrings.  It took me a good 20 secs to move my body .. I finally figured out that I had to take control of my physical body's breathing pattern before I was able to move it.  

I dont know how i was able to OBE 4 times in an hour and a half at school that morning but I was running fever and was extremely tired if that makes any different.. all were from sitting positions I think and none were comfortable ones...not to mention it was about 60 degrees at the time.  -- I hope this gives some people hope.. You dont have to be in the "perfect" spot to OBE.. if you can fall asleep somewhere , you can project there is what I believe.

My imagery is probably the strangest out of anyone else's here on astral pulse =/ Last night I saw a crazy bluish-grayish colored X-Box live Logo (Yes the Logo for the gaming console system...spinning around).  I remember my mind wandering about what tomorrow will be like and about my late school projects due and how I was gonna get over them and how I was going to react to seeing my girlfriend after 4 days of not seeing her and whether or not I was going to be mad for her not calling me etc...   Yes I rambled for a reason , that was my chain of thoughts before the X-box logo came into picture.. I think it first came as logical thinking and worrying then randomly started to get crazy .. x-box logos , and... crap I cant remember what else but I remember this morning I became aware that I was getting strong imagery of a red lighter laying on a desk.. The lighter was indeed on my computer desk and the texture in the imagery was the same as the computer desk in my room so I knew I was thinking of that lighter in that actual spot just a few feet from my bed.  I tried to take control of the imagery and suddenly realized just how REAL that lighter looked so I tried to feel for a body and felt none.  After a few seconds I managed to unwillingly switch awareness back to my physical body but next time I'll try to just change the scene and continue what felt like an astral phasing session.

I've kinda strayed away from your question but I've gotten imagery of X-mas lights popping up on a string with each count while counting my inhales during breath awareness.  It was definately imagery because the more relaxed I got more and more random images like that popping into my head trying to wisk me away into a dream.  Thats all those images do .. I believe they distract your focus of the physical body while it goes to sleep and keeps your mind occupied with a neverending cyrcle of random scenes/images.  They sneak up me and I end up falling asleep each time I try to project because my body gets so relaxed that my mind cannot block out the imagery good enough to maintain decent awareness through the whole process .... =/ Ok im rambling.. I'm procrastinating writing this booklet due tomorrow for school.. I'll leave you now! Ahhh *runs off for a cig*

Yea I guess I'm just trying to just cover the basics and not dabble too far into any one topic.  I do want anyone to read this book to be able to understand how OBEs work , how to go OBE , what can be done while astral, and how it has changed at least MY view on life and things that happen.  I plan on making the booklet available somewhere online for other readers to take a look at .. maybe I'll submit it to astral pulse but I doubt it would be worthy enough for this site hehe.  I've still been thinking about some other things to add to my outline and I just have no idea .. maybe I should start writing it and hopefully I get some ideas as I go.. I've never written something that I can just "let go" with so this is kinda new.  My biggest worry is that I'll ramble too much or write too much stuff that is just.. not too important..  If anyone reading this has read any of my other posts here.. you should notice how long and detailed some of them are.  If my booklet reflects my posts.. phew.. I'll have a novel in less than a week.  Thanks innerpilot for the offer , I might take you up on it
