I am about 75% from SP paralysis, OBE in the real sense of the term. Sometimes I get the symptoms of a approaching OBE, but then nothing. I think this is when I am returning from one, instead of actually beginning one though.
My Phase session are almost always successful. The only thing that hinders them is extreme pain or some environmental occurrence, such as someone or something in the physical disturbing my concentration.
Some people call that "sexual arousal" a form of Kundalini awakening.

I have experienced so many weird things during SP episodes. For the longest time and still once in awhile now, I was feeling the sensation of having my ankles grabbed, then yanked, dragged down my hallway and out my patio window. Other times, it was more of a sexual sensations and still others it felt like some kind of "anal probing", lol. That one is really weird. I can understand how this can get confused with a Alien probing encounter.
One time, I was dragged out by my ankles and pulled upside down to my bedroom ceiling, then spun like a top through my roof. I kept with that one until it became to much, then I "clicked out". Some famous authors of AP say that we click out when the encounter becomes to much for us to bear. Some kind of "system overload".
I have read may books, PDFs and listened to many of the authors and speakers of Astral Projection. William Bulman is very good. He knows what he is talking about. He is talking from years of "his" own experiences.
I listened to all of Sylvan's videos on the YouTube Phase Evolution channel and find that he (Sylvan) is still in the "learning" process himself. In my opinion, some of what he says is bad advise. He also parrots many of the other authors of AP and this causes "contradictions" in his teachings. Not every AP author takes the same approach to Astral Projection. He was/is a member of this Forum too. I explained that maybe he should learn more himself, before he teaches. He didn't agree. He hasn't been back since. I like that he is trying though. Lately his videos have been getting better, more informative.
So do I. They are much more unique. Awaking instantly "ultra aware", hearing the "whirr" of the gentle Astral winds and feeling the pulsating energy sensations, the buzz, passively observing it as it all works to a "climax" and becomes constant, then just finding yourself there is a such a incredible experience.
Sometimes, the first visual I get is akin to what you would call "tunnel vision". I wrote a thread years ago under my old name "Lionheart", that explained more about this. I had one of those experiences a few weeks ago.

I have never attempted to "pull" another out of their body though, nor will I. I don't agree with that one. They can learn AP themselves. If they don't, it's not meant to be. That's my take on that.
Lol Lumaza, perhaps one day she'll come around. She's a skeptic. I always tell her « fine you don't believe it, you think I'm possessed etc. All I ask is that you don't disturb me during my sessions ». lol. Quite frankly since I've discovered this site and the various groups of which I am now an active member, I'm no longer worried about « bringing skeptics on board ».
What I realize now is that being « conscious » in an OBE is not an adequate term by itself. I guess it all depends on what is meant by « conscious » . There are different degrees of consciousness experienced during an OBE. Some people find themselves in a zombie like state exerting very little control on the environment, as if they were the ones being controlled. Whereas others have a God like experience where their creative energy is unleashed, maintaining a high level of consciousness from beginning to end.
Do you find that consciousness diminishes the longer you're out? Or does it become sharper? How would you define being conscious in the astral? For example I just had an OBE, when I exited I said « take me to my girlfriend's job ». I saw people waiting in line, she was bustling around. I walked right through her and she said « why are you walking into me ». She said it as if she was talking to a coworker. Then I just looked at her and it was almost as if she could sense my presence.
This is what I'm wondering; when we have a « to do list » and we exit and immediately begin accomplishing things on said list, are we conscious or is it simply a case of preprogrammed thoughts? For me, I do the things I set out to do when I'm out but I also carry out actions that are not conscious. I'll just do something without really thinking before doing.
I presume you've already passed your fear tests lol because had I been grabbed by my ankles , I would've opted out lol. Have you wholeheartedly embraced the idea that no harm can come to you? Lol
Sometimes I'm tempted to to ask for help but the thought of feeling another being's hands on me creeps me out lol. Hopefully one day I'll become totally fearless like you
