Good post, I have to keep reminding myself to enjoy little moments. Its so not easy to do though, as the good things are easy to forget....i had a lot of stress lately and started to just making a list of things on my phone that are good, even if its something small, and by the end of the day I read this least over again a few times. It helps.

I'll have to try WOW....i also played Lineage....horrible game lol can't believe I used to like it.

Yeah, there's lots of good topics that are forgotten....resurrecting them seems better than posting new ones.

Sounds like a good plan, but don't be too strict on yourself with it...i hope it works, let us know 

Not really a gamer, but occasionally I do play, when I get time....a bit of Skyrim, a bit of Fallout, Minecraft and Mount and Blade are my favorite.

Not being able to get on lately has been annoying, but as this forum can be addictive it motivates me more to do things. Like while I'm waiting for the page to load, I can do the dishes or put washing on

Me, going on about past experience again ) not sure where this belongs, feel free to move it.

A few years ago when I did AP, I was going somewhere on a bus..to college I think...i was sitting at the back of the bus, then at a bus stop a guy got on. I was watching him paying his bus fare and walking towards me. He sat a couple of seats in front of me. Then, I stopped focusing my eyes on him for literally less than a second then refocused and I was watching the exact same scenario over again. This same guy paying bus fare and coming towards me...even if he decided to sprint back  to the  driver it would still take too long plus I would've noticed movement. And it wasn't someone else dressed like him...it was as though someone hit rewind and play buttons.

I've mentioned in the introduction thread that I posted on a different forum, which I don't think still exists, I told people on there about this, and apparently similar has happened before to a few of them

I have only met my grandparents through very vivid dreams. Have not met them in OOBE's...i did mentally said to them when i started having spontaneous  oobes something along the lines "if you guys thinking of visiting, please don't...' i don't mind meeting spirits during out of body experience, just not if they are related to me....id feel uncomfortable.

My dad died last summer and sometime in march I had a dream about him, then as I woke up..as I opened my eyes I heard his voice right in my ear...it was weird..

This morning was perfect time to try something, you know when you wake up and feel like a zombie lol very easy to get into SP from that....i have a 13 month baby, who decided to was time to get up at 6 am, but became very grumpy, so decided to get him to sleep a bit more and have a nap myself(that state where you know you not going to sleep properly, but something might happen). And just as i was relaxing, my son thought it was time to get up and play ))) Not easy with a baby, i'll have to somehow make time for this.

Congrats iab and Bedeekin 

It normally happens with everyone in their OBE's. Everyone has some bad experiences about their OBE's. Have you tried to communicate with the man?

the man, unlike girl ghost, was...well, i could not see him, i felt his presence near and sort of got a mental image of what he would look like if i could see him. Even got the first letter of his name...but like i said, i then got angry and he probably left ad i don't remember much after that.

It actually makes sense, Szaxx. Now when i think back it did feel like i'm a cast member of Eastenders shouting abuse at someone across Queen Vic)))

Or it could be a release of emotions. I am a reserved, quiet person...on the outside anyway. Back then i couldn't express anger in a healthy way, so turned to self destruction....maybe this is why... I've changed a lot now, so hopefully I won't experience this again.

Sorry if a similar thread exists...i find it difficult to search on here, I know how to search, but a lot of times it comes up with irrelevant stuff.

I remember having my second OOBE...was sort of floating above the bed, and there was a spirit of a man near me, just watching...and I shouted at him. I don' know where that came from...he did nothing to upset me.
There was another time during an out of body experience...i was in my room, and a young female ghost. She was trying to say something....then my mouth opened, and I couldn't stop, I was  calling her all sorts...I felt so bad after this. I am not like this at all, I'm normally nice, polite and quiet.
Is this something else to learn when oobe/ap..to control emotions? Or does it simply mean  that i'm not as nice as I'd like to think

Thank you)

I must confess though, it is an old picture...from 2-3 years ago...during a relatively recent pregnancy and post-pregnancy period I didn't like having my picture taken, as do most women I guess...

Movie 'Thor' comes to mind)))

Yeah, I'm interested in hearing about balancing a lot of work and AP....i think due to a very busy lifestyle at the moment I'd struggle finding time to try anything.

Thanks for that, I'll read it tonight

Not sure what sub-forum this belongs in, but I'll post in dreams as it happens when I go to bed. I know a lot of you must experience this....you know when you go to bed and just close your eyes and you see different images and sometimes sounds in your head, totally random things.. I feel like a radio at times like this =) once in a while though I'd get an image....ohhh, I don't know, lets say for example 2-3 second image of a shopping centre and a person near ..I feel as if for those 2seconds I am completely IN that scenario, I feel the emotions, I know the person near, I know what I'm doing there...and the next second its gone...if I try to get that mental image back-its just a picture, there's no deep connection anymore. It difficult to explain on a forum, I'm sorry if this is confusing....i guess I'm trying to say for a second I feel like I'm almost someone else, or tuned in to someone somehow. Like I said, its only for a second or two....just curious about what this is

I'm 27 now and when I had this dream I was 18 or 19. Both of my grandparents died 2-3 years before the dream.

Thanks for the reply.
I must say I didn't try to learn this and then something scared me. At first I didn't want this or was interested in OOBE/AP. First time it happened was after I was prescribed antidepressants, but after the first out of body experience happened I've stopped taking them. Out of body experiences didn't stop though. I did a little research and became interested in it, I did try some techniques  to try to control it and I never got it to happen when I wanted to. All of my out of body experiences happened spontaneously. Actually, no, i also had a lot of sleep paralysis  happening and i quickly learned how to sleep to achieve this. All i needed to do for that is get up very early, go on the computer for a bit, then try to sleep again..i knew it will bring on SP or OOBE. I had some good and some maybe unpleasant experiences, but never scary.
I feel silly talking about this scary experience because I'm sure you guys seen a lot worse things.
One night I was asleep in bed with my boyfriend, then next thing I was  out of my body and saw this thing, not clearly, it was the first time my vision was blurred, I just saw a blurry white thing, but its hard to describe the fear I felt at that moment. I've managed to go back to sleep eventually.
Next day I said to my boyfriend "I think I saw a ghost last night" not sure why I said it..ive seen ghosts before and knew this thing was something else...anyway, he told me he saw it too, but probably earlier when I was sleeping and before my OOBE. He said it looked like white smoke, it had a figure of a human, but without a face, and had very long fingers/claws and it was standing next to me, trying to touch me.....
....and that's it, that's the story....might not be very exciting and this thing didn't do me any harm, but enough to scare me.

i'd like to share i dream i had a few years ago when i did AP occasionally. I didn't try AP that day. Dream was very vivid and realistic, i don't think i had a dream like this ever again.

A little bit of pre-history....i remember my mum talking about her ex husband(before she married my dad) and that she had an abortion....didn't think anything of it then, untill the dream.

So, in my dream i'm in what looks like an abandoned warehouse, it wasn't scary though, it was very light...big windows, walls painted white inside. I found a boy there, i'd say he looked about 8-10 years old...he spoke and he asked if i was Valentina(my mum's name) and i said "no, i'm ..(said my name)" and instantly he seemed very happy...and at that point in a dream i knew he must be my brother...i don't know why, i just did(i've nerver even thought about it before the dream). I also remember him saying that my grandmother and grandfather brought him here to meet me.
When i woke up, i was so emotional...happy bad sad. I even cried later that day.

the only thing confuses me is his age...in life he would be at least 10 years older than me...but i guess there is no "time" there.

Yeah, i don't think it affects you, i don't drink much coffee, but i do smoke and it didn't make a difference to my AP

Hello) new to the forum but not to AP. Had my first out of body experience almost 10 ago. There was a forum either outofbody.org.uk or something similar, which i posted at...i was hoping to find it again, but found this.
My out of body experiences happened over 3 year period, then i had a scary experience, after which i said to myself "i'm done with it...never again etc.." and i guess i subconsciously blocked the ability to OOBE as i wasn't able to do it. Im interested in giving it another go, though i know im not quite ready yet to try again, so i'll just read posts on here,and maybe share some of my experiences with you.
