2 OBE today and have a couple questions

[smooth]

Well about 30 minutes ago I had two OBE and have a couple questions.

My first OBE I had very strong vibrations and was building them up and felt myself "floating" up words. During this floating sensation I wasn't sure if I should open my eyes or not but when I thought of that my eyes just opened. I was just floating there in my family room looking around, to my surprise nothing was off. So I wanted to see myself laying there, I've always thought that doing that would be a bad idea because I would be "forced" back into my body like some people speak of. So I just stared at myself laying there for maybe 20 seconds but all of a sudden I was back in my body with very strong vibrations still going.

The second OBE I asked for assistance not really knowing if anyone was listing or even knowing what/who would be there. All of a sudden I felt like I was thrown out of my body backwards into my kitchen (kitchen/family rooms are linked) and I felt dazed. So I was floating there in my kitchen and look into the family room and there was a Man standing there next to my dog (that passed away while I was at boot camp a couple months ago). I didn't recognize this man at all but he had a very good vib to me, I knew nothing bad would happen with me being there with them. I looked at him and tried to ask "who are you" I tried maybe 3 times but I couldn't speak. It felt like my mouth was forced shut and i was mumbling. He looked at me with a huge smile on his face gave me a thumbs up. Then after that I was back in my body and jumped up right after so I would remember this.

My questions are

1.) Do you just open your eyes while have an OBE or do you just think about them opening and they do? I was scared that I was still tied to my physical form and didn't want to open my physical eyes.

2.) How do you go about speaking, I've had these experiences before but I've never tried to speak to someone and I found that I had a very hard to speaking? I just couldn't, it felt like I was mumbling with my mouth closed.

3.) Have you seen any animals that have passed away while in a OBE? I was always close with this dog very close, I ended up enlisting with the Marines and was at boot camp for 14 weeks. I ended up being discharged because I really hurt my foot and was told I would suffer with this injury the rest of my life. But during this time at boot camp my dog became really sick and they put her to sleep. It hurt coming home and hearing that she wouldn't be there waiting for me not to sound corny.

Sorry for the long post, just looking for tips on those couple of issues I have.

That's a neat one. The guy who helped you seems foreign, heh. Perhaps he knew what you intended to say, but couldn't respond in English.

I'm no good with OBEs but I can throw out a wild guess as to why you couldn't talk: Maybe the guy was just pulling you out to show that he's with your dog, and in the rush, you didn't get your astral form working correctly. Or maybe your astral form just isn't one that speaks orally.

1.) Do you just open your eyes while have an OBE or do you just think about them opening and they do? I was scared that I was still tied to my physical form and didn’t want to open my physical eyes.

If you can't see, you simply tell yourself that you can see and you will. However, there have been times while I was OOB, I closed my eyes and when I tried to open them, they remained tightly shut. I even tried saying over and over that I can see and this had no affect at all. I even used my hands to forcefully open them and that worked only a few times.

2.) How do you go about speaking, I've had these experiences before but I've never tried to speak to someone and I found that I had a very hard to speaking? I just couldn’t, it felt like I was mumbling with my mouth closed.

I've experienced this many times before. I would try to speak and it would feel as if my mouth was glued shut. I'm not sure of the reason for this but it's not a problem because you can just use telepathy. Look at the person, animal or thing that you want to communicate with and mentally send your thoughts to them.

3.) Have you seen any animals that have passed away while in a OBE? I was always close with this dog very close, I ended up enlisting with the Marines and was at boot camp for 14 weeks. I ended up being discharged because I really hurt my foot and was told I would suffer with this injury the rest of my life. But during this time at boot camp my dog became really sick and they put her to sleep. It hurt coming home and hearing that she wouldn’t be there waiting for me not to sound corny.

I have had pets that have died before but I don't remember seeing them while OOB. It doesn't surprise me at all that you saw your dog while you were OOB. Just because he passed over, doesn't mean you lose your connection with him. I believe that he came to pay a visit (possibly with the help of the man you saw).

Well, I hope I helped.

Thanks for all your help, I just want to know if this was common wasnt sure if I was doing something right. Maybe your both right and he knew what I was trying to say and thats why he just smiled and gave me the thumbs up. I guess with more practice I will learn how to control everything much better. I find that I have a hard time having and OOBE before I try and go to bed, I fall asleep most of the time. I sleep at really weird times though, I go to bed at around 6:30-7:00 am and wake up around 4ish. Maybe 75% of my OOBE are from naps, maybe because I'm not tired at the time.

2 cool OBEs ! or 2-Smooth OBEs 

Anyway to respond to your questions ---
# 1) IMO you should just Think about opening your eyes because if you try to do anything overly physical then your physical eyes could open and that would end the OBE.
# 2) Try speaking normally first. If that does not work then try telepathy. If that doesn't work then continue trying whatever comes to mind.
# 3) btw it was neat seeing your deceased pet  But, no, I have never met a deceased pet in the astral/ethereal myself. I have come across discarnate animals on occasion.
