Sorry for the late reply, been xmas n all that.

I've been listening to those instrumentals, they are really really good for clearing the mind and relaxing. I now listen to them every night whilst laying in bed. Thankyou very much for pointing them out!

Thanks as well for the information and advice you have all given, I am now getting very close to being able to get out and today I think I even managed to. Since starting this topic, multiple times a night i will eventually experience the usual strange sensations everyone seems to be familiar with. I think I've said before It's at this point I'm unsure of how to progress and move forward.

Been a bit hectic the past few days and I haven't managed to get much sleep at all. I'd gotten home today early afternoon and thought It would be best to catch up on some sleep, so I got Into bed and laid there for a few moments and had a think to myself. I thought as I was so tired I'd try do the usual mind awake body asleep sort of routine, and within literally a few minutes of closing my eyes I began to get the vibrations and other sensations. I took pretty much no notice what so ever, I knew It was happening but just let them be. After about 30 seconds I started getting tunnel vision, there was a pin prick of light in the blackness, so I tried to focus on It and after a while It got bigger and bigger until I was able to see. I was fully concious the whole time, and sort of had shallow thoughts about what was happening, I never let It all overwhelm me too much.

So I was able to see and thought to myself well I know for sure I'm asleep, and here I am laying In the same position I was a few mins ago before closing my eyes. It felt so much like I was awake, but anyways I said to myself well I'll try rolling and If I end up on the floor then so be It. I rolled and felt myself float off of the bed. The whole time I was thinking really Is It this easy? Out of curiosity I looked to the side to see myself laying there asleep.

I woke up then, fairly amazed that only 3 or 4 mins ago had I gotten Into bed. I convinced myself that It must be really easy It Is just about letting yourself go which is obviously easier the more tired you are. So I closed my eyes again and began to watch the blackness, and again the tunnel vision developed. I could see again, and was back In the room I was asleep In, but for some reason I closed my eyes and thought of my own bedroom and there I appeared. I thought well I can go out now can't I and walked straight through the bedroom window and floated off outside. I still couldn't believe this was happening, anyways I tried to fly off but struggled to move so I closed my eyes In the hope I'd end up somewhere else once again, and upon opening I appeared In front of an outside door to a house.

I opened the door and went up the stairs directly In front, went left Into the room and saw a little girl playing In the room. This Is very relevant to me, as I worry constantly about big changes about to happen and It was almost as If as crazy as this sounds as me almost seeing Into the future just to reassure myself that everything would be alright, and to be honest It felt like I had just gotten In from a days work and was walking up the stairs with slightly achy legs, a very surreal experience, however at the same time as feeling like this I was still me.

I do not think I was dreaming, nor having those visions you sometimes do whilst still concious before sleeping. I do not remember certain points though, as If It were a dream, contradicting myself a bit there haha. It just all felt very very real and I knew all this was happening, but to where I appeared and how weird the feeling was when I walked up the stairs I thought It must have been more than a dream. I defiantly rolled out of my body and saw myself, and I was doing strange things that obviously aren't possible in life. The vibrations and all that were there before being able to see. I'm fairly confused because I didn't know what to expect, I do not know If I have had an OBE or have AP or have just lucid dreamed.

I don't know really but It was an amazing experience, do any of you think you know what might have happened? Even If I'm not quite there yet I'm fairly sure im whiskers away lol.

Thanks for all the help n that so far, and I look forward to hearing from anyone that chooses to reply. HungerStrike.

Thanks for the reply

Yeah I see what your saying I also think I focus on my body too much, It sort of slows the process In a way I imagine? It's hard not too though because I sort of do a checklist each time I get into bed and until I've crossed some boxes I can't progress, I've just taught myself to do that probably not a good idea?

You speak also about releasing and letting go... Would listening to music and leaving my headphones on cause any sort of hinderance? I can completely shut off with music and have my mind go blank or become really focused on something, sounds strange but If I read a book I have to listen to music with headphones else I can't concentrate.

Another thing can you only have these expirences whilst laying on your front or back? I struggle a lot to sleep any posistion other than on my side, I have to be really tired to sleep on my back or be listening to music. Now I think
, the two vibration expiriences ive had one was on my front and the other on my back.

So yeah would I be able to listen to music to aid releasing and letting go, and do I have to be laying on my back?

Many thanks again, HungerStrike.

I'll get into bed and first try to keep myself calm and focused. Whenever I get irritated by an itch or the urge to swallow or move slightly I perform the action to remove the irritation until I feel as though I will have no more distractions.

After I close my eyes and try to relax them, upon doing so after a while my body will feel heavy and numb and I'll sort of feel as though I need to move my feet and hands to check they're still there. I can feel myself moving my toes In my mind although physically I'm not and after I am able to get this feeling, I really concentrate on relaxing my eyes even further.

I focus on the blackness and try to imagine a dot making shapes without moving my actual eyes. It's hard to do at first but after a while I can draw and write things with this dot, sort of like holding a sparkler and writing your name, it dissapears fairly quickly and leaves a trail.

Once I've done that I partially drift off, I start visualising things as if I'm dreaming however I do get to choose what I visualise. Sometimes I will drift off completely and other times I'll sort of regain conciousness and start over again.

This is as far as I've gotten as of yet, I cannot induce vibrations or strange sensations, I can only do what has been described above.

However two times in the last week I have regained conciousness from a partial conciouss state and had intense vibrations and surges that would become more intense the more I relaxed and ignored them in a way.

The first time I thought to myself I need to roll over but thought that I was in fact in my physical body so I didn't bother.

The second time I could feel my body moving like floating in a way but I stopped ignoring it and focused on it and I regained full conciousness after a few moments. I did wake into sleep paralysis, I just knew that I was in the state cause I expirienced it a lot when I was younger. I moved my leg instantly and then once again and I could move again.

I have no idea how I had these sensations, both times I believe I sort of woke up after literally seconds of sleep.

Do I need to just keep doing what I'm doing and with time I'll get results or do I need to do something else?

Many thanks, HungerStrike.
