Latest 'OBE's'.. more words exchanged

Latest experiences -  [pasted over from another forum I use]


I had another OBE the other night, I found it a bit of a struggle and felt a really heavy pressure in my chest, I rolled off the corner of my bed and snapped out and when I looked across where my window is, there was a guy stood there, he came over to me, grabbed my hand, and took me outside onto our street, I kept asking him if he was asleep, if he knew what astral projection was, if he was dead and a few other questions.. I got replies too which where yes and no's but I cant remember what he said yes and no too. I remember his appearence and would instantly recognise him if I saw him again. He was a tallish chap with short brown hair. Once we where on our street, I for some reason decided to return and then when I got out again to find him there was someone else in my bedroom and he started punching me in my chest and didn't look happy at all which made me return and I was really freaked out by it. I think I need to start asking open ended questions next time.

Also... what is the difference between dreaming of projecting, and projecting from a lucid dream? I have many of these and have only just realised.. I've always ignores these OBE's and have just assumed that I've dreamt of projecting when in actual fact, I could be projecting from a lucid dream. The main difference is that once I project, I'll be somewhere unknown where as my usual OBE's are based round my bedroom and local area..

Last nights events.

I fell to sleep around 2am and found myself slipping in and out of normal dreams up until around 6am. I got up and went to the toilet and then from here up until around 10am I found myself in 2 main locations. The first time, I wasn't aware of actually projecting but suddenly found myself in total darkness and in that OBE state and I had all senses and I instantly smelt and tasted soil/earth. Straight away I thought 'I need to get out of here' but without waking up so I mentally thought 'forward' and off I went and still had this soil taste/smell and suddenly I popped out from the ground, looked around me and realised where I was. I was underground a few streets away from where I live. I thought I'd pop back in and see how far down I can go which is something I'd actually been meaning to try though I was a bit anxious about doing this in case I got stuck or something. I floated up to the road and gently pushed myself into the road and in I went and I kept thinking 'down' for around 5 seconds, I could feel the different textures that were whizzing past me and as I went further and further they became more and more dense at which point I came to a halt and found myself looking down on a big open space. It was pitch black and there where arrows lit up really brightly flashing in sequence every few seconds running down some sort of massive runway. I wasn't sure what to think and just observed these arrows. A few seconds later I decided to return and woke up.

This is similar to the one I had the other day but I managed to get more questions across this time and this guy was even more happier to respond. I was walking along the side of a big beach again and there where people stood in the water just chatting away. I looked up at the sky and there was a huge planet that kind of resembled earth and it covered most of the sky but only the upper half was in view and it was kind of misty/cloudy. I saw this old guy walking towards me and I said to him 'excuse me I don't suppose you mind me asking a couple of questions?' he said sure... 'I know this might seem really strange or maybe not but I'm actually asleep at the moment and I'm not sure if this is a dream, different dimension, planet or what..' he looked over at the sky and then I said 'is this another planet?' he said yes and came out with the planet name which wasn't anything I'm familiar with but was interesting planet Xeros or something of the like though I made that particular name up... I asked him if he had a name for his town/area and he also told me the name of this too which I forgot. He asked where I was from, I said Earth to which he replied 'is that old Earth or new Earth?' I was a bit confused and said I'm not sure. 'ah ok' he said.. I looked over at the sky and said 'do you know if there's much life out there?' 'there's plenty of life out there buddy, there always has been' I smiled at him and said 'I don't suppose you'd know how I could find my spirit guide do you?' he said 'sorry, I cant really help you on that one'. I then felt myself gradually wanting to 'wake' up and I said to him 'damn I can feel myself waking up, I'm gonna have to go and I woke up.

The realness at the time was just amazing and the amount of detail really baffles me. The problem I've found with asking questions is remembering the answers like I say. I can remember one or two and will myself back and remember the answers but the problem is, I don't want to really will myself back as I want to really make the most out of the experience. Seems doing both is going to require a fair bit of practice.

Clarky,

Excellent experience and it's nice to see that you were able to communicate and make a excellent contact. It reminds me a lot like the movie "Contact" with Jodi Foster making contact with her dad traveling through worm holes into space.

I've also seen the runway and as I project higher, it feels dense and feeling farther away and trailing off to a greater distance.

Interesting how your able to extract this information at clear and precise detail. Not too mention that how and why you would think something like this up... There's too much detail to be denied and qualifies the obe valid.

Keep up the good work!

I think you'll find whats missing between waking and sleeping consciousness is mainly memory. OBE's and dreams can tend to be rather slippery. Perhaps higher levels of consciousness are harder for the brain to process and remember. The main goal with first attempts is to keep them short. This way upon re-entry you can remember everything that happened. It also helps to give you mind some real muscle in future OBE's.

You sound like you're doing very well.

Happy travelling to all!
