Summerlander, Hallo !
Yeah, no problem and I hope you like it here at AP and stay here a long time.
The API experiment has alternating periods of interest/activity and no activity. Unfortunately it is currently a period of little interest/activity. In fact you are probably the only person to have visited API in any way (OBE/AP, phase, remote view, etc) in nearly half a year. Maybe your recent success will inspire others to try. Anyway I am still keen to do it and will post any experiences IF I am able to get there.

Regards 
Grey

Hallo Nomesb69
I consider your experience to be an OBE.
Here's why.
1) The vibrations are almost always an accurate sign that an OBE/AP is about to happen. I have recorded over 2,500 dreams in my dream journal and not ONE of those dreams included vibrations of any type. However, about 1/3 to 1/2 of my OBEs include vibrations.
2) Dreams starting with the action of leaving the physical body are almost unheard of. In fact I have never had a dream like that or read about a dream like that. Also seeing your physical dog and attempting to materialize (or phase) through a door (or window) are activities that happen in OBEs and hardly ever occur in a dream.

Congrats

Hallo Trace
About those negative and terrifying OBEs - it could be negative and hostile discarnate beings 'messing' with you. If it is then there are 2 actions that you can take.
1) Perform some type of banishing ritual in the physical before attempting to go out of body. I won't go into any details here because any google search will turn up a LOT of info about banishing rituals.
2) Perform a protective spell/ritual (maybe using bright white or indigo light) when out of body. Again a websearch will provide of plethora of info.

Good luck 
Grey

Hallo Summerlander
I wish to extend a personal welcome to you.    I think you will find this website similar to astralviewers in many ways (perhaps there is a bit more emphasis on phasing here). Both sites have a lot to offer yet I post here more because I have been a member here for several years.

Heelo to all
A couple quick points.
I too have projected to a mall. It was some kind of BST and I'm actually a bit surprised that more people don't visit malls while OOB seeing how popular malls have become (ingrained into the American way of life so to speak).
Regarding unusual and/or exotic locations visited OOB see my last OBE report "OBE Magical History Book" (in the Out of Body Experiences Forum). That was a visit to either a BST or an alternate universe. (don't know which?)!

Greetings all
Regarding going to Focus 27 only of you're dead. I have read some OBE accounts from experienced projectors who have visited 'hospitals ' and 'reception centers' in focus 27 areas in order to meet deceased friends and relatives. While these OBE accounts are somewhat rare there are enough of these experiences to surmise that a living person CAN visit a focus 27 if there is sufficient motivation and/or need to do so.

Hallo Xanth
Thanx for the link. When I get a chance I will visit that webpage and then get back with some feedback.

Hallo Xanth
I'm sort of curious about a couple of things regarding your projection.
Was the exit of your consciousness from your physical body more like a 'classic' OBE or was it a phase?
Also the location that you visited, could it have been a BST? I am really not well acquainted with the various focus levels (F2 or F3?) so am wondering if it was not a BST then where that location might have been?

Regards 
Grey

Hallo Lunarvegan
Here's a suggestion that you may want to try. During the waking hours of the day think about what you want to do and where you want to go during your next OBE. Then translate those thoughts into a vocal affirmation. Perhaps try saying something along the lines of,  "I want to go to (location) and perform (activity) during my next OBE!" Repeating affirmations several times a day can supercharge the subconscious mind which will follow through on those autosuggestions during the next OBE.
Perhaps it will work and maybe it will not but it would be worth a try.

Regards 
Grey

Hallo divinespirit
Actually you had a rather eventful experience for a first time OBE. Getting outside and flying about over mountains is Much more than most people manage, (I only floated about my room during my first OBE). Also don't be concerned about the blurry vision b/c both future experiences and affirmations like 'Clarity now!" will tend to correct those vision problems.

Grey

Welcome lotuspaper, greetings.
Chances are that if you remain an active member here at Astral Pulse then you Will have an OBE.

Grey

Hallo Killa Rican
I actually think that you are trying too hard to get out of your house. Try calmly moving to a door and going through it. Or go through a window. If either of those are a barrier than try an affirmation, something like, "I will go through the door/window Now!" or "Phase through the door/window Now!" Be aware of Not getting too excited because strong emotions can quickly end an OBE. That's my 2 cents worth anyway. 

Regards 
Grey

Hallo astralhealer
First off I understand your skepticism yet want to assure you that conscious deliberate out of body experiences are a Real phenomena.
Secondly let me inquire as to how long you practiced the various OBE methods? The reason for this questions is that different people progress at the art of OBE/astral projection at different rates. Some people can do it almost immediately, it takes some people much longer. For example it took me about 6 months to have my first OBE. So while there are no guarentees if you stay with it long enough an OBE Will most likely happen.
btw There is not too much for sale here at this website. I too am leery of commercial 'how to' books and such. Most of the info here is provided by members forum post and the FAQ.

Regards 
Grey

Greeting souldrOp and welcome.

Look forward to reading your posts in the forums.

Cheers

Greetings ange.connell
The only thing better than reading about OBEs and lucid dreams in experiencing them yourself!

Hallo Cosmos and welcome
Spiritual practices, like most individual human activities, have periods of growth and development and periods of rest and stagnation. One benefit of being a member here is that you will get a lot of encouragement from other members to practice and advance spiritually.

Greetings everyone.
I wanted to inform everybody here that a member of the Astral Viewers website DID have a successful OBE/AP to API the other night!
The user name of that person is Summerlander. You can read about his OBE at www.astralviewers.com in either the OBE/AP Experiences Forum or in Summerlanders Journal in the Journals section.
And btw I am still attempting to go to API OOB but as yet have had no success. (I did have another OBE recently and that will be posted in the Out of Body Experiences Forum in a day or two.)
So a friendly reminder that if you Do have an OBE and are wondering what to do while OOB then make an attempt to reach API 

Regards 
Grey

Hallo Leon Trout and welcome.
It is good to welcome another experienced OBE projector to this website.
Regarding the validity of your OBEs I would say to trust yourself and believe in your (and others) ability to separate the consciousness from the physical body to travel and explore the none-physical realms. These experiences are real and not the tricks of a distorted brain.

Regards 
Grey

Greeting 

KaOs.
Your experience of 'living' another life in an alternate universe was much more detailed and complex than mine. I was more of an onlooker than a participant for most of my OBE. I Do believe that my experience also happened in an alternate universe and not in a BST. It's more of a hunch or guess though because I have no way to Know for sure.

Astral316
Thanx  and good luck with your own projections. If you keep an open mind and are open to such things happening then by all means its highly likely that something similar will happen to you.

Timandra
Yes, exactly, you have it right by describing it as a film in a history book. The images were moving and continuous. Most of what I saw was a large Italian army unit (including vehicles) moving over open country. Same with the 'story' about the group of women. A motion picture or holographic images, not still photos.

Pauli2
Thanx for the link. I'll check it out.

Regards 
Grey

Xanth and Noy, thanx to both for your responses.
The only thing that I can make sense out of the OBE is that there can be a Very fine line between being a spectator and being a participant. So perhaps there was some type of subtle hint hidden in there somewhere about being too passive and not being active enough ??. IDK it's also possible that something will take place in the future that will shed some light on this OBE.

Grey

Hallo All
I'm just getting around to posting my most recent OBE. This took place during the last week in December. This one is actually quite unusual and well worth reading. It is titled ---

                                               "Magickal History Book"
Sunday, December 26, 2010 (OBE # 100)
   This began already out of body as I viewed a magickal history book. This book opened up to pages of continuous film of 'history'. 'History' is in quotation marks because I believe that most of what was shown was an alternate history in a parallel or alternate universe.
   Most of what was shown was early World War 2 in North Africa. Italian infantry, armor and trucks moved across flat desert-like areas.This may have been Libya or Egypt or, more likely Ethiopia or Somalia (where some historical combat did occur during 1939 and 1940). However, none of the tanks looked familiar.
   There were also many scenes of civilians travelling on foot, sometimes with Italian soldiers. There were also other scenes of 'history' that looked to be during World War 2 but the exact date and location were undetermined.
   At times small graphic texts in the book would appear to identify various Italian tanks or vehicles. Other people viewed this book with me. I made a comment about this to a man saying that none of the tanks or vehicles looked familiar.
   After watching historical imagery for 10 to 12 minutes (it may have been longer because the book was fascinating so more time may have passed) a new 'historical' event was shown. A group of (Italian?) women had gathered to demand that a North African man be turned over to them to be punished for (sex?) crimes. The images were somewhat disjointed but the people and events were very clear. Eventually somebody inside a house turned the man over to the women and this story ended.
   Suddenly, however, I was actually at that location and not just viewing it in the book. It was a small town somewhere in North Africa (or maybe in Italy). I believe this was most likely either a Belief System Territory or a parallel universe. Anyway I was on a small street or alley near a long wall. The man who had also been viewing the book was with me. I scanned the area from a door in the wall and then walked farther along the street/alley about 30 feet to a small house. Here the OBE abruptly ended without warning and I was back in my physical body.
   Notes. Time was 5:15 to 6:00 AM. Duration of the OBE was 20 to 40 minutes, maybe longer. I lay on my right side. Location was either a Belief System Territory (BST) or an alternate universe. There were many people there (either discarnate if in a BST or physical if in an alternate Universe (I*)).Deliberate,  Emotional, Teleport,  Portal,  Book, Time change,  Pranayama (before),  Meditation (before),  Affirmations (before).


So what do you think? Strange? Unusual? dramatic? Has anyone experienced anything like this before? I'd really like to hear your comments or questions.
Regards 
Grey

Hallo Kaos
Thanx for responding. 400 OBEs is quite impressive.
btw Actually I'm a bit envious too.

btw2 OBE Exit Poll 2 has just been posted here.

Regards 
Grey

Greetings all
Wow, thanx to all who have replied. 
It might seem that responding by copying and pasting and highlighting one line to each answer is a tedious way of doing things. Yet this is the only way that I could think of to get the frequency of each phenomena. Doing a standard poll with a Yes or No answer to each question would have left a LOT of info unanswered. The copy, paste and highlight response seemed to be the only way to gather this data.

btw this poll will stay here for about 2 weeks and then Poll 3 will be added.

Regards
Grey

                                                                  OBE Exit Poll 2

Greetings all. This is the first (of 3) followups to the OBE Exit Poll that was posted here about two weeks ago. This poll will deal with two separate sets of OBE phenomena. Part One will deal with common pre-separation symptoms. These are Sleep paralysis, vibrations and unusual noises (such as roaring, rushing or whirring). Part Two deals with methods of movement out of body and these include floating (levitation indoors), flight (levitation outdoors), and teleportation.
Each phenomena in both Parts One and Two will have several choices reflecting the frequency with which you experience that specific phenomena. Those frequencies are
A) Never or hardly ever experience that phenomena.(Less than 10 % of your OBEs.)
B) Rarely experience that phenomena (estimated 11% to 33 % of OBEs),
C) Sometimes experience that phenomena (estimated 34% to 66 % of your OBEs).
D) Usually experience that phenomena (estimated 67% to 90 % of OBEs).
E) Always or nearly always experience that phenomena (estimated 91% to 100 % of OBEs).

Part One. Preprojection phenomena.
Either just before or during your OBEs do you experience --
1. Sleep paralysis (SP) ?
A) Never or hardly ever experience SP. (Less than 10 % of your OBEs.)
B) Rarely experience SP (estimated 11% to 33 % of OBEs),
C) Sometimes experience SP (estimated 34% to 66 % of your OBEs).
D) Usually experience SP (estimate 67% to 90 % of OBEs).
E) Always or nearly always experience SP (estimated 91% to 100 % of OBEs).

2. Vibrations ?
A) Never or hardly ever experience vibrations.(Less than 10 % of your OBEs.)
B) Rarely experience vibrations (estimated 11% to 33 % of OBEs),
C) Sometimes experience vibrations (estimated 34% to 66 % of your OBEs).
D) Usually experience vibrations (estimate 67% to 90 % of OBEs).
E) Always or nearly always experience vibrations (estimated 91% to 100 % of OBEs).

3. Unusual Noises ?
A) Never or hardly ever experience unusual noises.(Less than 10 % of your OBEs.)
B) Rarely experience unusual noises (estimated 11% to 33 % of OBEs),
C) Sometimes experience unusual noises (estimated 34% to 66 % of your OBEs).
D) Usually experience unusual noises (estimate 67% to 90 % of OBEs).
E) Always or nearly always experience unusual noises (estimated 91% to 100 % of OBEs).

Part Two Movement out of body
During an OBE have you ever experienced
4. Floating (levitation indoors) ?
A) Never or hardly ever experience floating. (Less than 10 % of your OBEs.)
B) Rarely experience floating (estimated 11% to 33 % of OBEs),
C) Sometimes experience floating (estimated 34% to 66 % of your OBEs).
D) Usually experience floating (estimate 67% to 90 % of OBEs).
E) Always or nearly always experience floating (estimated 91% to 100 % of OBEs).

5. Flight (levitation outdoors) ?

D) Usually experience flight (estimate 67% to 90 % of OBEs).
E) Always or nearly always experience flight (estimated 91% to 100 % of OBEs).

6. Teleportation (instant movement from one location to another)?
A) Never or hardly ever experience teleportation. (Less than 10 % of your OBEs.)
B) Rarely experience teleportation (estimated 11% to 33 % of OBEs),
C) Sometimes experience teleportation (estimated 34% to 66 % of your OBEs).
D) Usually experience teleportation (estimate 67% to 90 % of OBEs).
E) Always or nearly always experience teleportation (estimated 91% to 100 % of OBEs).

Note. The EASIEST way to respond to this poll is to block and copy and paste Parts One and Two onto your reply. Then just go down and BOLD one line (ABCD or E) for each of the 6 questions. Please just One answer each.
Second Note If you have not yet responded to the first OBE Exit Poll then please do so.
Third Note. This poll has been posted on several different websites so if you have already responded to this poll on another website please do Not respond again.

Thanx to all that respond.

Hallo Projekts
As Xanth said you're doing well considering the relatively short time you've being attempting AP/OBEs. (It took me over 6 months to induce the first OBE!)
So best advice is to keep at it and don't give up. Try different exit methods. Don't be hesitant to switch methods if what you are currently trying isn't working. OBEs can happen when you least expect them, even after not trying for several days or weeks. So don't get discouraged.

Good luck 
Grey
