My 1st OBE!!!

[DEBerryJr]

GOOD SHOW!!! To dream about OBE certainly shows dedication. You'll be waking-to-OBE in not time.

Good day...



Sincerely,

D. E. Berry Jr.

congrats on your development. it's events like this that give you the confidence boost you need at this stage to stick w/ it . after a while most people tend to start to back off w/ their expectations. also the practices will start to become mechanical, and frustrating, instead of fun and meaningful like they should be.  happy projecting.

Congratulations!  My experiences with AP started so EXACTLY like this, though you have the advantage of knowing more about what's going on! Just remember that it's an ongoing journey, and you have to take baby steps. Really, I had just as much fun simply figuring it out, working out little tricks - like how to know it was a false awakening. (The confusion has eased off as I got older, I'm not sure if that's typical or not)  Watching it evolve into something more and more exciting and meaningful all the time is the best bit, still, for me.

Let us know!

Ahhh man! That's GREAT!

Very similar to my first - I remember so clearly the dream just vanishing when the cue sunk in that I was dreaming and not really awake.  

I am also glad to hear that you stuck with the dream journaling. That's always been a help to me.

So were you buzzing around all day afterwards??

I don't recall any distinct vibrations.  When trying to wake my body up, it was more of a struggle to regain waking consciousness than it was to move my body.

I would enjoy buzzing all day. haha =)

My bad, bad wording.

Were you grinning all day?

Waking up is a real stuggle for me too. Anyone got any ideas about how to regain waking consciousness more easily?

Here it is folks, the result of a simple nightly routine (after 5 months), and a dedicated task of dream documenting (2 months), hhas paid off.  And I feel I got a bargain.

**Tuesday, September 10th, 2002**
   My first Out of Body Experience.  220am, the morning of Wednesday, September 11th.
   It started out as a dream.  I can't describe in detail what I was thinking during parts of this dream, because truthfully, when I had regained my consciousness, all I could think about was the end prize.  But I have the key parts possibly embedded in my brain now.
   It started out, I recall, with with a dream of formulating a few lines of a poem.  I awoke, 1:42am. * Well, I lay back down.  The real dream kicks in.  I'm on the bus to school, hands over seat, really relaxed, just thinking about getting out-of-body.  I mumble a few words to a girl in front of me.  Eventually, I'm in class at school.  Spanish class, but it felt like first period (R.F.: It's actually 11th, but, the teacher was the same.)  I'm now drifting between consciousnesses(?)  Very confusing things.  I'm like half caring about class, I'm in the front row, and she tells me I have detention because I'm sleeping.  I smile... still making my attempts, getting comfortable.  This goes on for what seems like a full period, until I "wake up".
   False awakening.  I get out of bed, looks like 5:10am.  Earlier than usual, but I had things to do.  So, I debate quickly, turn alarm off or not?  Will I be coming back?  No I decided, and turned it off.  A button that said snooze remained on.  This was not normal, and I've had this clock for, oh 5 years.  Well, it was soon after this, when it had occured to me: Maybe I'm dreaming?  After that thought, I could sense no dream environs, but a blackness.  Not a void.  With the idea of body.  No direct physical sensations, however.  I attempt to sit up.  A mind disorientation takes place, and my thoughts are shooting every which way.  I start swirling through stars (up, down, I had no idea)  I then try to speak, which was very difficult.  And all I heard was a mumble which kind of frightened me.
   Next thing I know, I am within the confines of my physical body.  I attempt to wake up.  All this confusion and time spent not trying to fall asleep.  I just wanted to wake up and type this up.  I wasn't conscious enough to decide if my physical body was paralyzed, or if I was just in a deep relaxed state.  It took some mental effort, and after a few drifting episodes, I can roll out of my bed.
   I am so excited... With my first episode of lucidity just this last Friday, and now my first OBE.  Now begins my quest.
