Well i think i nearly had my first conscious OBE last night.  I was lying nice and comfy on my couch listening to the binauralabyss track i downloaded from the forum.

I'd been lying there trying to clear my mind of all thoughts but wasn't getting very far as i kept on thinking random stupid stuff every time i managed to get a clear mind.  I continued trying anyway and was getting a nice tingling feeling from time to time going through my feet and legs.  Then it must have been about 45 mins into it, when that all changed.  I was simply just letting go at this time, if thoughts came into my head i just let them and just let it drift pass and concetrated on the binuaral sounds.  That was when i started getting the tingling feeling all over my body, stronger and stronger.  By now my body was buzzing extremly strong (felt it stonger in my face), like i had a high-powered massager on me.  My heart -or chakra- was absolutely racing.  Then, well then i freaked out and open my eyes and lost it, i closed my eyes again and tried to get it back but all i got was white clouds/shapes and could feel my pulse beating crazy -suppose that was from freaking out, not from the vibrations though.

It's the furthest i've got yet, and it's gave me enthusiam to keep going and pratice more.  Although i'd read in AD and on the forums that the vibrations can freak people out when they first get them so be prepared, i obviously hadn't prepared myself enough, as they were really intense, even if they only lasted about 20secs before i freaked out.

I lay down for another couple of minutes after this, to get myself together before getting up and moving around, and had a slight nauseas sick feeling for a while after.  I this normal?  Also if and when i get the vibrations again and hopefully don't freak out, should i try holding them for a while beofre attempting a projection exit or just go straight for a projection attempt?

I bought RB's book on Astral Dynamics about a week ago and i've got to the 4th section on exit and projection techniques.  I've been trying to obtain the mind awake/body asleep state, but not quite sure if i'm getting anywhere or not.  Last night i tried it sitting in a chair and imagining myself, leaving my body and walking to out the door and off to work, after about half and hour or so i started getting a numbness kind of feeling over my body, then about a minute or so into the these i got neck cramp so it broke my concentration and gave up.  When i opened my eyes and after i sort of felt strange and fuzzy for a few minutes, then back to normal.

Just now i tried lying down in my bed with only a lamp on, for a little light.  Again after about half an hour or so i started getting the numbness feeling again, then i started getting hundreds of little spots moving in my brow area and then started feeling like my body was bouncing up and down all over.  It started gently at first then started getting a little faster, before completely slowing down to a stop.

Any ideas?

Yup, seems like sleep paralysis (sometimes refered to as "the old hags syndrome") to me.

I've had sleep paralysis a couple of times myself and it freaked me right out until i fiqured out what it actualy was

Check out the link below if you want to find out more about it.  There's some info on that page about sleep paralysis and lucid dreaming which may be more applicaple to you in this case.
