First Astral Experience

[Aaron330]

I posted this in my thread yesterday about having my first OBE, but decided I should just put it in a new thread so I can get some insight here. This was actually a very long experience and a lot of stuff happened (much of which I can't remember), so I will condense it as much as possible.

Last night I woke up at 3:30 am and could not fall back asleep until 6:30 due to a thunderstorm. Once my wife got up at 7:15, I put my eye-cover on and tried to get maybe another hour of sleep. As I had drifted into REM, the loud ringing came in my ears to my surprise, and I focused on it. It immediately got jet-engine loud and I felt myself phase out and my astral limbs started moving. I rolled out of my bed and started crawling. I thought I would try to stand up, so I did and I was fumbling about everywhere, couldn't see at all. I would hear the ringing come back and feel myself laying down again, to which I would pop out of my body again. Each time I heard it I simply focused on it again to keep my awareness in the astral. The third time, I walked out into the kitchen, still not being able to see very well. I demanded eye sight and suddenly I could see! Everything looked different than in real life, and my wife was out there making breakfast or something. I started putting my hands through her and it was almost as if she noticed. Then I started floating around up on the ceiling and saying "look i'm flying!". But I couldn't stay up in the air very long. Our kitchen looked very different and I knew it wasn't the RTZ for some reason. My wife was complaining about trying to open something or whatever and couldn't. I tried to remember this so I could tell her later to see if it was an RTZ projection or not, but once I woke up later I realized it definitely was not. 


After messing around for a few minutes, I tried to wake back up in my body, but I was paralyzed and couldn't wake up! I said out loud "I want to wake up!" but nothing happened. I tried to kick and jolt about on my bed almost like throwing a temper tantrum, and I thought for a minute I was awake but it was only my astral body which was flailing about. I laid there for a minute frustrated and not knowing what to do. The ringing came again very loud and so I said "what the heck lets go again!" and I phased again.

As I was phasing to the ringing noise, I was looking at some cartoon looking mobster/gangster guy from the 20's or something (suit and top hat on, smoking a cigar tommy gun in hand), so I focused on him and suddenly I knew I was in a huge room because I could hear all these people talking and things happening. I was fumbling around in total darkness and I couldn't see a thing. I demanded sight now probably twice and things started looking clearer. A third time I pounded the ground with my fists in frustration (i was on my knees again) and said "I WANT MY EYE SIGHT NOW!" and suddenly I could see! I was in a huge rectangular room with a low ceiling where all these Pixar cartoon looking people were watching a movie (with the gangster guy on the screen), sitting at round tables and such like some sort of company awards ceremony set up...but they were all pixar cartoon versions of people! I realized I had been standing here front and center for a while probably looking like an idiot screaming about not being able to see. I didn't care that much everyone was staring at me because I was finally freaking projecting and it was so cool!! I walked to the back of room thinking "wow I must be somewhere in focus 3 of the astral!" and I remembered reading about how there are infinite dimensions with strange things, people and characters in the astral, and I must be at one of these places. So I made my way to the back of the room while everyone nervously stared at me, and I waited there for a second, until everyone looked away, trying to contain my sheer excitement. There was a really ugly bald guy sitting closest to me, and I remembered Robert Monroe saying he can stretch his arm, so I wanted to try it out. I stretched my arm out and grabbed the top of his bald head and pulled him towards me sitting in his chair. He looked at me, obviously pretty scared and so I pushed him back with my stretch arm. When I pushed him back his whole face was jumbled up like happens on cartoons sometimes! Then the whole room was staring at me again and talking like "what is going on here? Who is this person?" so I thought I'd better get the hell out of there. I phased out to somewhere else (can't really remember at this point because it was so long, but I was trying to fly again) and as soon as I did my wife came in the room with my dog and it woke up my physical finally.


This was definitely another notch up on the awareness scale from yesterday's OBE. Remembering it, it just feels like an extremely Lucid Dream, but I know it had to be a projection because of the way I kept phasing with the ringing noise. Based on my little knowledge of Astral Projection thus far, I think I was definitely in Focus 2 when I projected into what I thought was the RTZ. This was clearly some sort of imagined double of my house and my wife. I am not sure if the second experience was somewhere actually in the Astral (focus 3) or if it was focus 2 again. Please let me know what you think about this.

Worth noting, when I told my wife about this experience, she told me that while she was getting ready she heard me whisper her name, and it startled her and she turned around to see if I was there, but I wasn't. I remember calling her name a few times when I was fumbling around in the dark, and again when I projected into what I thought was our kitchen. I called her name to see if she could hear me. Any ideas if this may have been real?
