First OBE and it only took me a few of months.

[Zino]

Okay, so I see on this forum allot of failure and allot of techniques that didn't help me much, I believe everyone has their unique way and all that jazz...

I registered here on February 12, 2009, It is currently August 11, 2009. So just so you know it doesn't -have- to take a couple of years, and by far the easiest way to OBE is LDing.

So here's my story...Two days ago, I had my first LD which I had attempted many times before with no avai. I wrote a topic about it.

Well, the other morning I had my first Lucid dream, I believe I had enough consciousness to turn it into an AP, but I didn't know what to expect of one as I'd never had it before, I was simply too excited that I'd -finally- thought I'd reached an AP, I thought...there must be a way to test it, so I said "Let me fly" and sort of just moved up using my mind...I thought that was fool proof, but then I woke up and consulted it some more I realised it was an LD because of all the dream like things, I will be much more vigilant next time.

So...after making that mistake, I was set to have another LD again sometimes and correct it and of course, as I said "I will be much more vigilant next time." this was true.

So, one night no dreams in between, then last night...I couldn't get to sleep and I tried to get myself to sleep obviously...I thought through a plethora of different dream scenario's one of them being at my school in a lesson...I only just realized how much this helped, when I finally did get to sleep I had a dream I was in my school, and being in such a common place I wanted to do things I would usually do that reverted from what the dream wanted, this is what got me lucid...then I had a teacher who was literally telling me how to OBE, she said "Think of a dream scenario and pull yourself out!" So I tried this and ended up being a medieval knight running to battle, I stopped and just yanked him as hard as I could and I came out partially, but I didn't realize...I thought I might be out...but it felt to real and I was worried I had just woken up...so I was halfway leaning over my bed and tried to touch the ground and it felt like real life so I continued, my teacher told me to think of a scenario when I was in danger so I imagined a giant beast was after me and I was backed into a wall, but I was watching from 3rd person...I saw someone behind me through the wall, she was  female I think it was my guide...my mind manifested her into the female at the top of this forum. Next think I know, I'm propped up in bed...but It's a bright as day in my room...as if I didn't have a ceiling...but I did...It felt so real, so like waking life...but I could hear spirits talking the whole time...I walked to my door but didn't go through, because I didn't force myself, I just thought I could float through...So...I thought to make sure I wasn't sleep walking I would turn round to look at my body, knowing full well this would take me back as I had read, I needed to know...So I did...I was lying there as crisp as day! My arm was resting on a pillow besides me and my eyes were flickering open slightly as I looked at myself, I felt vibrations everywhere through this whole OBE and then I moved my arm and my physical arm moved slightly too...Next thing I know...I'm back in my body no longer dreaming no longer OBEing...I decided okay it's over and came to post this!

So that is my technique :

- Imagine a dream of you in common life (i.e work) before you go to sleep
and
- Have a plethora of dream scenario's before you go to sleep.

Hope you liked my experiences!

Hi Zino, congratulations! Great first OBE, yes I liked reading it. And I am going to try your technique too! 

[Zino]

Heh, thank you...It's a very obscure one that I've never heard, I'm going to try it from now on, if it succeeds again I guess it's a good technique, sorry if it doesn't work for you, I'm pretty new to this so I can't promise anything. All I know is it worked for me

Here's to hoping!

seems like a good one though. i guess when u ask for advice on how to AP, then a teacher is the response

Congratulations Zino! Thanks for sharing. It sounds like you found a good technique that works for you, and that's one of the main ingredients.

[Zino]

No thank you Stookie! I don't think I would have been able to get here without you and certain other top posters. I had always been wondering what it was like since I saw this site...and it didn't disappoint!

I remember you told me once "Do by not Doing." and this is definatly a good way to go about it, act like your not going to do it but then do it !
