always seem to feel very tired in a projection

[elikai]

Hey guys, I'm relatively new to astral projection as far as actually being able to do it though I've been interested in it for a few years now. The first time I can recall having an OBE was when I got my wisdom teeth taken out and I remember waking up in the dentist chair but feeling very tired and I walked out of the room into a crevice in the wall and fell back asleep (then was really confused when I actually woke up later because I thought I had woken up already.) The next one was when I was dreaming and I became lucid but I think I was dreaming about having an OBE and I don't think it was actually one but after that dream was over I did wake up in my astral body. I felt the tired feeling again and I couldn't move, it felt like my right side was heavier than my left and all in one motion I turned clockwise and was falling into my bed and then I woke up. Then the last thing I can recall that was really interesting was I was having a dream about weird looking aliens and we were in a house and all of a sudden I heard my grandma singing a song I had never heard before (She passed away in 2003, she played guitar and wrote songs) and I thought how that was weird and so I followed the sound through a hallway and walked through a door and there was a computer on a table in this room playing a video of her and I remember thinking "I've never heard this song before" and then I became lucid, then I turned around and I could see her on this stage very far away playing her guitar and singing this song and it was really blurry (i wear glasses in real life so it was like I was trying to see her without my glasses on) and I thought that since I was dreaming I wanted to fly to her to get closer and every time I started to try to fly I would get these huge vibrations all throughout my body and I would stop and then try again and started to feel the vibrations getting stronger and I didn't want to wake up so I gave up and turned back around and went back through the door into my original dream. Anyway any ideas for this "sleepy, heavy" feeling? and would I be already projected in that lucid dream so why would I feel the vibrations then? Thanks guys, I love reading everybody's posts!

Hello elikai
Believe it or not many people have had an OBE in a dentist chair! It is related to the anathestic that is used. Sometimes Ketamine is used, other times either Ether or nitrous oxide is administered. Any of these three substances can cause a spontaneous OBE to occur.
Do you remember if any of the substances were used??

Hi,
I had ether in 1965, lots of it and back then the dentist was asking about where I went to. Unfortunately I went nowhere. If he had asked generally my answer would have been very different.
Lucky you.

I'm actually not sure what they used at the dentist, at the time I didn't think to ask or probably even care to remember if they told me lol. So far I haven't had any luck with trying in the morning I always wind up just falling back asleep and today I think I got close..

What happened today:
Sometimes I hate living in an apartment! heh I was taking a nap and thought I would practice shifting and wanted to try falling asleep from my couch since I read that you already associate sleep with your bed your more likely to just fall asleep there so I wanted to try from somewhere else, anyway there were some kids playing outside and I don't have any ear plugs but wanted to try to practice anyway. I'm not sure of the focus levels yet but I was drifting off to sleep and came back to focus when I started seeing what I assume to be my ceiling through close eye lids! Well naturally I got excited but I was only aware of my heart beating really fast and of what I was seeing through my eyelids, like there was no rest of my body heh then I thought it was weird that I didn't hear any strange noises since I was expecting to and that's when I heard the kids playing outside (I could still feel my heart beating fast) and then slowly came back and opened my eyes...bummed!!
