Hi all 
I am using a television remote to type this introduction, so please bear with me. I had my first(and so far only memorable) fully conscious OBE around 5 years ago. A close friend was in another country, and we began chatting about astral projection as a way to spend time together. One night after a chat, I went to lay down. After mere minutes, I was no longer tired. I sat up, started putting my shoes on, then turned around to grab my jacket and saw myself laying sound asleep. I calmly reassured my projected double that this is what I wanted, before going outside to have a cigarette. After stepping outside, I began to levitate off the ground, then shot instantly into the sky. I immediately woke up in the physical world amidst full daylight. I rushed to the computer, logged in, and there was a message from my friend. She said she was sitting on the beach when I came up behind her. She then said we held each other for a long time in silence. Roughly a year or two ago, I picked up the book Astral Dynamics, by Robert Bruce. I started reading it the other night, and am just now breaking into part two. Over the past few nights, my dreams have become more distinct, but not conscious according to my memory. My intent from here is to install more fully conscious OBEs into my memory and to learn.
