[The Present Moment]

My personal formula is mindfulness* throughout the day, relaxation and/or trance before bed, then 4-5 hours of sleep followed by at least 15 minutes of wakefulness; at that point I am most likely to have a spontaneous LD or a chance to AP during my next sleep cycle.

To put in a different way what NodesOfYesod said, don't be too concerned with having a classic OBE or AP. A good place to start is dream recall. Also give phasing a try (check the Permanent Topics section), and use your imagination while you are awake to explore your environment.

*Simply be aware of what you are thinking -- don't get lost in thought.
