Greetings niffler and welcome.
Don't know if there is a forum here for All of your interests but there are forums here for Most of your interests. Regarding OBEs, I suggest that you read as many of the threads in the "Welcome to Astral FAQ Forum" as possible as there is a Lot of good info in there.

Nice meeting you 
Grey

Greetings everyone

While I did Not attempt to RV I have had 2 or 3 Very unusual dreams over the past few nights, Plus an OBE that was equally unusual (will post the OBE separately in a few days). What was unusual about these experiences was that all of them involved close family and friends whom I had known for a long time and was very close to, Yet had never seen them before in the physical!! These were very vivid and realistic experiences yet now they seem to have been in an alternate universe?!?

So anyways the OBE involved a close knit family from New York City. Italian and probably Catholic, these people were Very friendly and passionate. One location was a large modern high school.
The latest dream included a large group of friends, mostly men, an enormous SUV and getting stuck in a long line of traffic close to a state or national forest park.

So this may be totally inconsequential to the RV experiment but thought that I may as well post it here on the slim chance that something maybe be relevant to you (or anyone else here).

Sincerely 
Grey

Greetings Stevieboy and welcome.
A Very interesting dream.  It could be that
A) there was a lot of symbolism there created and stored inside your subconscious that came out during the dream providing previously hidden information, or
B) Some of what you encountered during the dream had an independent existence outside of your mind, again providing new information.
Or maybe both A and B occurred in varying degrees.

Mind food for thought

Welcome back Frequent flier
Even the best sites occasionally attract members who just can't seem to get along with others or are downright trolls. Fortunately the Pulse has been troll-free for some time now. 
btw I have been here for about 10 years and don't recognize your username so did you have another username back then??

Greetings Astral learner and welcome
Why are you tired during OBE/AP attempts??
Two possible reasons.
First, it is night and the body Does have a natural inclination to fall asleep then. (I fall asleep All the time while trying to go out of body  ).
Second, exploring the unknown Does require a mental effort. Believe this Will sap mental energy and leave a person feeling drained.

If looking for a place to learn about OBEs, astral projection and lucid dreams is what you're looking for then, Yes you have indeed found the right place!
And btw I commented regarding your first experience in the other forum.

Cheers

Hallo djed
You wrote

Afterwards I think if this happens again I could change it into an astral projection or continue with this development to see what happens.

Yes, exactly! When you become aware in a dream then you can turn that experience into anything that you want it to be   -  and OBE, astral projection, lucid dream or any other non-physical experience.

Good luck 
Grey

Hallo Simo
You have discovered a Big secret, that is --- when you become aware in a dream or false awakening then you can turn that experience into an OBE!    Good for You!
I Have turned both dreams and FAs into OBEs, but only a few times. Not nearly every day for a Month! Wow, that's impressive!

Cheers

You experienced two of the most common phenomena associated with OBEs -- loud noises and sleep paralysis. The loud noises are somewhat self explanatory and usually comes in either rushing, roaring, whirring, screeching or jet engine-like sounds.
The sleep paralysis (SP) is actually a common sleep related symptom. SP prevents a person from getting up physically and sleep walking to act out their normal nightly sleep dreams. So this is really nothing to be concerned about although when SP is experienced when waking after sleep it Can be disconcerting.
BTW the third common phenomenon associated with OBEs are vibrations.
SP, vibrations and unusual noises are all telltale signs that an OBE is about to occur. Apparently you experienced a near-OBE or a partial OBE where part, yet not all, of your astral/ethereal body had separated from the physical body. Maybe next time you will be able to manage a full blown OBE.

Good luck

Hi bloop
Here are a few URLs to remote viewing sites. These are older links so a few may not work. These Are some of the better sites and one or two of them May have RV protocols (procedures) (but you might have to look around in them to find the protocols/or a do a search).

Remote Viewing
Academy Of Remote Viewing   www.probablefuture.com
Farsight Institute      www.Farsight.org
Hawaii Remote Viewers Guild   www.hrvg.org

Western Institute Of Remote Viewing   www.remoteviewers.com


Good luck

Greetings all
The most unusual aspect of weather during my OBEs is that the weather in the astral/ethereal plane is Rarely the same as the weather in the physical. If it is night in the physical then it is likely to be day when OOB and vice versa. Rarely it is snowy or rainy when OOB when it Is actually snowy or rainy physically. And this is true even if I remain near my house in a familiar RTZ during the OOB.
Don't really have a clue why that is though and frankly have not, up til now, given it much thought. But is Does seem a bit Odd.

Welcome vitalcrystalsignz and greetings.
If AstralPulse Only had forums about OBEs and astral projection this site would still be quite good. Yet there is a LOT more here as well and that makes this one of the best forums on the web.

I have already visited the fluidexistence site and think that it is well put together. I like the way that you record All your OBEs, even if some of them are mundane and uninteresting. Also of interest is the idea of highlighting the more interesting experiences in red to make for easier reading.

Thanx for the response. I have a theory about Phasing. From the accounts of Phasing experiences that I have read on Michael Raduga's www.obe4u.com site and from a Russian website of Phasing/OBEs journals (the link is on Raduga's OBE4u site) I have come to the conclusion that Most phases (maybe not all) are a type of hybrid experience between a vivid lucid dream and an astral projection. I've noticed that Most phases begin After a person becomes lucid in a dream and occur in an unfamiliar location. Of course the terminology can be quite confusing as some people DO make a distinction between OBEs, APs, LDs and phases and yet Many people Do Not and consider all to be basically the same thing. So that's an issue that is best avoided for now. Yet the frequency of Phases that begin as LDs point to the probability the phases may be more akin to LDs than to APs.

Hope that makes sense

Hi bloop
There are MANY websites devoted to remote viewing (RV). Most of the good sites have a specific protocol for RV. A protocol is a step by step instruction procedure on how-to do RV. Any web search will turn up a Lot of sites. Some names to look for are Joseph Mcmoneagle, John Alexander and Courtney Brown (all were involved in the CIA RV program back in the 1990s.)

Meditation Is worth exploring. It need Not be the blank mindless exercise that So many people think it is. Meditation can include music and visuals like photos and art. You can be as created as you like. I used to do the "quiet-the-mind type" meditations that seems to be so popular nowadays. But now I almost always listen to a CD and try to visualize whatever images come to mind.

Hallo bloop
The odds against that being coincidence are VERY high. Most likely you did see those bracelets while out of body. Those inconsistencies that you mention are probably what Robert Bruce has termed "Reality Fluctuations" meaning that not everything that a person sees when out of body has an exact physical replica in the material world.

Greetings Under_the_Midnight
Quite the interesting adventure. I'm impressed that you could stay out of body that long to do all the travelling and exploring! Nice

Cheers
Grey

Hallo Steel Hawk
Here is my take on your situation. If you are sensitive enough to travel out of body (and you are) then you are also sensitive enough to feel an illness or disease starting to form in the physical body. So basically I am agreeing with CFTraveler and company in that there really IS the possibility of a physical ailment.

Take care 
Grey

Greetings Landofclay
The end of your first OBE apparently transitioned (or morphed) into a dream where the scenery changed constantly. That means that you had good control (= awareness) for the start of the OBE but started to lose focus after several minutes and that led to dreamlike imagery. Actually that happens to many people (myself included).
In future OBEs you should be able to stay in control longer and extend the time out of body. Also preplanning a to-do list (and then remembering to do those things when OOB) will help in extending future projections.

Cheers 
Grey

Greetings iamkul
Just curious  - you experienced Both phases And OBEs? -- so could you tell if there was any difference between the two? Were the OBEs in a familiar RTZ environment (like your house) and the Phases in an unfamiliar (or dreamlike) location??

Grey

Hallo jeffd
Thanx for the links. I'm so far behind on checking out links and new websites its not even funny. But I will check those links out as soon as possible.

Greetings Army
It happens like that sometimes --- the harder that you try the Less successful you are at going OOB. Believe me because I know that this has happened to me Many times. Any type of severe emotions can prevent an OBE. So the girl could well be one of Several factors affecting your ability to project. Just stay with it because this dry spell Will end and you will be projecting again (soon hopefully).

Cheers 
Grey

Hallo sqprx
That was well done! You stayed focused and did Not get too excited. The first of Many OBEs, no doubt.

Hallo jeffd
Yes I am vaguely aware about what you have posted.
The idea that you discuss here is called 'the Many Minds" interpretation of QM. The 'Many Minds' idea was a variation of the "Many Worlds" Interpretation that was formulation by Hugh Everett in 1957.
Interesting Theories. It's almost as if theoretical physicists have created a theoretical framework for the existence of alternate worlds, parallel universes,the astral planes and psychic abilities such as remote viewing.
