Gah, this is so frustrating I have had this my whole life. So annoying wish I could just beat the crap out of them lol, but it never works just feels like it takes so much effort to punch and when my arm finally gets there it doesn't affect them

Sounds fun. we always say we wish it was longer, but don't worry there is plenty time for more

influence them how

Yes learn about focus 10 (mind awake body asleep)
basically you want your body to fall ASLEEP. So if you're laying there trying to make it fall asleep it won't happen because you're thinking about it too much which will keep you awake

I'm reading Bruce Moens series and so far he has described going to his familiar F27 state prob over a 100 times lol

To be honest my own personal experiences have brought me to where I am now and what I believe. And from the books I've read basically I don't even believe in a certain religion anymore. Along with that god or satan. I believe there are more developed beings out there such as guides or helpers but in my opinion is this stuff in anyway ran by satan? No

I wouldn't use it..

I think its possible yes but if the other person isn't already lucid it would be hard for them to remeber the experience they might seem very aware during the dream but theyre prob not lucid enough to have a good memory of it when they wake up im reading voyages into the unknown by bruce morn and he talks about his experiences doing it with his friend rebecca

Haha dude.. I think the exact same thing.. can't really help though as I havnt figured out how to have crazier experiences. I want to experience nonphysical things and learn more deeply about conciousness like Robert monroe. I just started working with meditation so well see how that goes

I have always had good success with saying Clarity now!

I would really like to attend a session there but I don't know what I would go for yet

I've tried using it and I still have some. Never really had any positive results from it

We had to put my cat to sleep about a month ago because she was getting very sick

I had a dream last night I was laying on my living room floor where she always layed and she was there and it felt great to have her by me and I was just petting her head then she rolled over and I started rubbing under her neck. We were talking telepathically I think and I was understanding her in english. I remember saying something like you will be okay making the transition, don't worry. I don't know if it was just a dream or maybe it was really her

Sounds like you experienced sleep paralysis which is not an OBE, but very close. A lot of people around here try to reach the SP state so that they can achieve an OBE from there.
If you have this again don't try to struggle or wake yourself up just relax and you can either try an exit technique or just wait and see what happens

1. C 11 - 25 OBE's
2. C 18 years old first concious exit

I think I know what you're talking about.  For me it's kinda like the chill you feel running the length of you spine if you get cold suddenly or if something moves you emotionally unexpectedly, but I can feel it at will, like I'm exerting some kind of effort and can make it more and less intense but I can only hold it for so long before I get tired.

i know what you mean by you feel like exerting some effort to make it happen

Nice, sounds like an eventful first obe like grey said. As far as your vision goes, you may have heard this before, but try saying "Clarity now!" while OOB. That's what I do and it works great clears your vision right up

Yes, I think you're right AlanRK just need to overcome my physical ways of thinking.

And yeah that seems interesting pauli. I might try that. Or I was thinking of trying to visit this place I have been to a few times in dreams before. Or just to an environment I create myself

Well, the shelf that that card was on top of in the living room. That shelf isn't there anymore since we just had our kitchen redone. I didn't bother to look at the kitchen so I don't know if it was my old kitchen or my new one.
The 2 cars that were parked on the street I don't know whos they were or why they were there.
That's about it.

And opening the door just makes it easier lol. I was actually really surprised I was able to float through the window because I have tried to fly through that windows probably 5 times with no luck and that was the first time I was able to do it.

Well finally this morning after a pretty long time of not having an OBE I had one 

This morning started like my normal day. My alarm goes off at 7:15am I breifly wake up so I can hit the snooze button and then I roll back over and fall asleep for 5 minutes until the alarm goes off again.
But this morning after I hit the snooze button I laid back down and heard vibrations in my head that I get that I never thought was related to the OBE vibrations, but now I think they are because after I heard them I remember laying on my stomach on the carpet floor in my room and I was able to feel the carpet in my hands. Then I was laying back in bed and remembered "hey I was just laying on the floor?"
Refer to this thread for the vibration sounds
http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/welcome_to_out_of_body_experiences/a_louder_silence-t32493.0.html

So now I think about laying there again and feeling the carpet in my hands and very soon I was laying there again. I quickly reached for the door and opened it and walked out. I went down the hall and in to the living room. I was looking around and thinking of what to do. I was trying to think of any goals I had thought of previously that I would try when I was OOB, but nothing came to mind. Then I thought about the playing card on top of the shelf for verification, but I decided not too because I feel like I waste my experience doing that because I've done it so many times now. So I float over to the front window of my house and float through it and outside.
Outside wasn't warm or cold, I don't know what I was wearing. It was early morning looked about 7am and I just flew around my front yard for a few moments and then up and over my house. Then I flew down the road until I got to the main street. I was floating about 50 feet in the air and looking down at the ground I passed over 2 parked cars on my street just taking my time and observing what I was seeing. I got to the end of my road where it hits the main street and my friends house is right there. I stopped in front of his house and floated down. I saw his neighbor moving around in the garage, but I didn't go over I just stood in front of my friends house in the middle of the street. I again thought about what I should do. I looked up in the sky and it was blue with some small clouds. I thought about traveling to space and that's what I decided to try and do. I always read stories about people flying uncontrollably fast into space, but whenever i try and go to space I just float up very slowly. And my ttechnique is to swim, it's the easiest way for me to get around while floating. I only got up to about the top of the tree in his front yard and then the experience ended and I was back in bed.

So now I need to think of something that I can try while OOB next time

Location: familiar
Time: between 7:15 - 7:35am
Duration: Less then 5 minutes

Well i have like 17grams left of this calea that i NEVER want to make a tea out of again. Last night I drank about 1/4 of my mug of this tea and had enough, but even though it didn't seem like much I did feel my heart beat pretty strong like it says you will. So I layed down and tried to fall asleep and after about 10 minutes I was in a dream like state and I was imaging that I was playing a video game for xbox360 that I play and I was atcually seeing it in my mind (it was more dark shadows then colors, but was still seeing it) then out of no where I was standing in a kitchen and 3 birds flew right in my vision and scared the hell out of me and I woke up.

Then I fell back asleep and didn't have very good dream recall this morning, but for the few parts I do remember of my dreams they were pretty vivid.
So that's my experience last night, but I probably won't be having anymore because I don't plan on drinking this ever again, but I may try to injest it a different way I don't know yet..

well i got the calea zachatechichi today and i just made the tea and let me tell you.. OH MY bonking GOD IT IS DISGUSTING
ugh i dread drinking any more of this it is so bitter even after the honey and sugar i put in, but lets hope the results are worth it

Thank god finally someone else who has experienced this. I used to get this a lot before I started AP. Now I still get it every so often upon awakening from sleep either in the middle of the night and sometimes in the morning.
I know exactly what you mean about how it pulsates. It almost feels like pulsating waves or electrical surges in your head/ears?
It usually starts off light and if I don't sit up and wait, a second or 2 later ZAP it comes back and then fades and then again comes back more intense everytime.
It is deffinetly hard to explain. And when I experience it I feel as though I am awake and aware and not in the normal vibrational state. And it will continue until I sit up and make it stop. I really can't explain what it is or why it happens, but I wouldn't get too worried about it as it only happens every so often and it's not just you who experiences it
