Excellent progress Clandestino!
The white screen you saw certainly was the 'astral cinema screen effect'. What's really encouraging is that you got it through waking effort, whether I usually get it at random by waking up and finding myself there!
Keep up the good work!

Hi folks, thanks for your encouragement ! I don't really have too much to add except that I was really pleased that I got there whilst staying awake. Also, even though I've pretty familiar with "astral theory" (i've read most of the books available) in practice its completely different. Although I've always convinced myself that there is nothing to fear, the fact that I was looking for some sort of security (my housekeys) shows that I was perhaps a little unsure of my situation.
Anyway, I've tried to repeat my success, with no luck ! very frustrating, I can tell you....but practice makes perfect .

I have had a couple of good results this week with the old Wave 1 exercise 2 (focus 10). Coincidentally, this week I began waking earlier to listen to the CD. Another factor that has helped (I believe) is my posture; First, I lie on my back and do the exercise all the way through. Then, I start again, but I lie on my side, immediately feeling more comfortable and relaxed than before.
Yesterday morning, I put the CD on for the 2nd time, and lay on my side. Gradually the blackness before my eyes filled with geometric patterns, tiled in front of me at some distance. But it wasn't that great.
A few minutes later something did happen that was exciting - A big white screen appeared in front of me, I could see some greenery behind it. I realised "this is that cinema-type screen that people sometimes see" so I tried to move towards it, but I got more and more excited, and it faded away.
But I wasn't put off, and I continued (to wait for something to happen, more than any concious effort). I gradually realised I was in some kind of darkened "cabin", and someone was sitting in front of me. At this point I felt the cabin was moving faster and faster, and the most incredible sound was filling my head. It was like I was being run over by a freight train !! It got louder and louder, and then eventually stopped silent. As it did, I seemed to jolt forward, just like you do when a roller coaster stops at the end of a ride.
I still couldn't see at this point, but I felt around and found a door handle. I opened it, and I was at a roadside, next to some beautiful trees that were shimmering, rainbow-like. I recognised an old friend standing nearby, dressed in a dinner suit. My only concern though was to make sure that I had my house keys(?) so that I could get back home ok.
At this point I went straight back to normal conciousness, and realised that my efforts with the hemi-sync cd were not in vain !
