A brief obe and a failed experiment

I have recently increased my obe attempts and after a long gap I managed one conscious obe today morning.
I went to bed around 0800 (yes!, no schedules here;)), and stacked up two pillows so that I stay in a 'non-sleep' mode. Very soon I reached the sleep border and was drifting in and out, often reminding myself for obe.
Not trying any techniques I kept myself on the border, deeply relaxed. After some half an hour or so, I drifted to sleep but got up because of the constant reminders, and decided not to try anymore... 'obe abort'. So, turned on side and tried to sleep.

The white noises started waxing and waning in my ears. It sounds just like when you move a whip in air very fast. Soon I found myself relaxing deeper and the noises became louder like an untuned FM radio station at high volume. I just kept passive watch and after a while the noise ascended higher and I smoothly lost all body sensations and it felt as if I was floating just above the bed. No vision, full consciousness.

I turned carefully to the side and out of the bed still floating. Now as I tried to see, something must have gone wrong because things became very blurry and dark, anyhow I remembered to do an experiment to type something on the PC but it was off (which I generally keep on always, but this time it was off in real too). So instead I found the fan switch and tried to turn it on. It seemed that I succeeded as I saw the fan turning, happy and reminding myself to check it after the return, I decided to go out.

As I neared window things went very bright but still hazy, but something went wrong again. The window was nothing like my real window, still I jumped off expecting to fly, but I stayed in air. So, I forced myself to fly, it worked, although I couldn't see anything, and I was almost laughing with joy. This went against me and I found myself laughing in bed, with tingles all over the body.

In few seconds I moved my toe and opened my eyes, and the first thing I saw - the fan was off, it never moved.

Nothing went wrong..:) To me it seems like you went right into the RTZ.  When you first have a taste of it, things are blurry, grey, hard to hold onto, and your vision basically sucks.  Did you feel any strain at all? I gathered from your post you didn't but just asking, might click in a memory of something familiar.

Once again, nothing went wrong...twas the RTZ...things can appear very different.  Windows and doors will be in another location, appear out of now where,  or not at that location at all, for that matter.

Usually, when I go through windows and doors...I'm never where I thought I would be.  It used to bother me because I wasted time wondering where the heck I was, and more than I cared for, inevitably, lead me to going back to my physical...dang, thinking too much.

I chuckled when you said, "I found myself laughing in bed." :D  I've done THAT, more times than I cared for too..phhhfffft.  It seems I find humor in almost everything!   Wait until you find yourself standing on top your head...that is a funny feeling. ;)

No I didn't feel any strain, I'm now used to darkness outside the body, I just feel that I'm losing precious time, when I try to make sense of where I'm in the room.

The laughing part is so true. Actually the balance of mind during obe is so delicate that any kind of over-activity brings you back into the body.
But its so much fun, you can't resist it. :D
