OMG, I did it, I had an OBE last night! AT LAST, 6 months or trying and a few days of being a member here and I got out :-D
I can't quite contain myself today, I want to tell someone (everyone) but they'll think I'm mad so you guys are the ones that are gonna have to listen to my "story" lol, if you would, puuurrrrlllleeeaaasssseee! Here's how I did it and what happened ~
Ok, so the meditation techniques to try and get out haven't been working, I can reach the vibrational state easily, I get the vibrations, tingling, heat and tunnel like vision, start to see bright white and purple shapes and swirls, all that stuff you have normally before an OBE, but I can never actually get "out".
Anyway, I woke up around 5am this morning and felt myself dropping back off to sleep near on straight away so I started to think about having an OBE, I kept on telling myself "You will go out of body, you will", I started to imagine a huge black tunnel with me travelling up it as I dropped back off to sleep, still telling myself to go out of body, the next thing I know I get the vibrations (but stronger than ever before), I told myself to stay calm "Don't ruin it now Kristy, go with it, go with it", from what I remember I felt a pulling sensation on my forehead and then I was swirling up this black tunnel faster than ever, the next thing I know I'm floating (on my back, stomach upwards to the celing) I'm in my bedroom it's really dark, in fact I could hardly see anything, I managed to get myself upright as if I'm standing up (but still floating, feet off ground) and then it hit me, "excrement, excrement, excrement I'm OOB" soooooo many thoughts went through my head at this point, I was trying to remember what to do, how to get clarity, how not to wake-up, so many thing's going through my head it was unreal. Then I went over to my mirror in my room, I had an overwhelming feeling to do this, I knew I was OOB and floating in my room and I wanted to see myself in my mirror, I couldn't see myself, it was too dark, then I thought "My body on the bed, look round and see your body Kristy" I turned round to look at myself on the bed and instantly I was pulled back to my body as if I was on a bungee rope lol, it was that fast! I didn't see my body, all I saw was like a grey mist or aura lying on the bed and before I knew it I was back in my body - WOW, WOW AND F*****G WOW, I DID IT!!! :-) :-D :-) I'm so excited right now, it's crazy lol. I didn't really feel a "bang" though when my astral body went back into my physical body, I'm surprised as I got pulled back at quite some speed.
I went back to sleep after half an hour or so of nearly peeing myself with excitement at what had just happened, and went straight into a Lucid Dream (I haven't had a Lucid 'from what I know' in ages) this was like a double whammy lol, my first OBE and then Lucid straight after. I knew this was my chance to get out again but it didn't happen. I was in this strange arena like place with all these people standing on the edges of this arena really high-up (like they could fall off the ledge any minuet). I didn't really like this place, it felt strange and was scaring me a little. I was flying and I flew up to this guy who was a white gay man but dressed like a black Hip-Hop star It was very strange! At this point I kept saying "OOB NOW" but nothing happened, I thought I would end-up back in my room but I didn't. Then I started to spin myself while still flying off the ground (I'd heard this would get you to where you wanted to be) but as I span myself I got worried because it felt so real, like I was actually spinning around in my bed, I kept thinking "excrement, I'm gonna wake everyone up if I keep spinning like this", it actually felt like I'd took hold of my bed covers so I could spin myself around, it was so real, and then I can't remember anything else, I must of gone into a normal dream or something.
A couple of quick questions -
Because it was around 5am when I projected in my room it was dark, is there anyway of making it light in my room when I next project or does it stay dark. I can remember thinking clarity all the time but when I was OOB in my room it was just as it would be in real life at that time in the morning - dark. When I was in the Lucid Dream there were more colours n I could see quite well (a little cloudy though).
How can I stay OOB longer without getting pulled back on the bungee rope to my body lol?
Should I of seen my own body as if it looks in real life?
How can I clear my mind while OOB or in a Lucid Dream so I'm not asking myself to do all these thing's at once i.e. clarity now, OOB now, spin now, etc, etc. I think this is what ruined my Lucid Dream, I was wanting to do so much in it, especially get out of body again.
Does the spinning technique actually work to take you to another place in the Astral? It felt like I was actually spinning at top speed in my bed and I got worried I would wake others in my house up with all the noise from it?
I have so many more questions but they keep coming and going as I can't think straight today, I'm far too excited lol. If I think of any others I'll post them later.....
I think the best way for a newbie to have an OBE is to wake-up in the middle of the night and tell yourself to go OOB when you're dropping back off to sleep. Also imagining a tunnel and travelling up it works well. Doing it in the middle of the night is a lot more effective (for me anyway) than doing this from meditating.
Thanks guys, your help on the questions would be much appreciated!
Blessings!

Just the same in real life Project during the day it will be light, night dark.

Not really a way other then luck.

Don't try to look for it you will regret it.

Meditation and practice.

Never worked for me.
Enlightenment1,
Congrats on your experience and you took your first little step into infinity! There are a few things that projectionists experience and I'll add my .2 that will clarify. Everyone is different with their obe's.
First, to answer your questions:
-Because it was around 5am when I projected in my room it was dark.
Doesn't matter, it can be light or dark during the projection. Just depends on
how you sense the time of the day. Sometimes it works in revese, you think its day, but you experience night and vice versa.
-How can I stay OOB longer without getting pulled back
Yes, you can stay out longer. Longest I've been out was roughly around 35mins.
It takes skill, energy, and patience. Also, along with projecting continously and acclamated yourself to the environment.
-Should I of seen my own body as if it looks in real life?
Yes and No, I've seen my body many times, touched my body and had dual perceptions, and feeling. Sometimes I do not see my body even from the room I projected.
-How can I clear my mind while OOB or in a Lucid Dream.
Just be relaxed, take a passive approach while being out and don't expect anything.
You also have to pre-program yourself with intent and passion. Focus on a couple things at a time vs. wanting to take on the whole world.
-Does the spinning technique work.
Yes it does work, about 75% of my experiences revolve around spinning in circles, crunched up like a ball or log. Its weird at first and you question if you will make noises. I've done video and audio recordings of my experiences and the physical is calm, silent and resting while the astral/spirit/soul or what ever you call it is making it's transistion.
hope this helps.

aww, grats! :) brief yet adequate first time.
funny you should mention that your body being a grey myst type of thing.. i've had that everytime, yet i don't see anyne else speaking of it. I dont often try to look back at my body coz i have other more important things but the first time i looked and saw this dark blurry sort of 'space' under the covers where i should be, it kinda spooked me out a bit. Hope you can keep your success :). It doesnt get easier the first few times as im finding out!
The last time I tried to examine my body while I was "out" strange things happened. The moment I "touched" it, it started coughing and going into spasms before turning into another identitfy entirely. It turned into my brother who was asleep in the next room. I spoke to it and since I had my full mental critique with me asked it to integrate back with whoever it came from. The response I got was "no, it's alright", I walked over to my brother's room with this entity following me. When we got there he wouldn't do or say anything, it was as though he was there to confuse me. Then I heard my brother speaking in his sleep, "bad men don't change" or something.
This was one of the clearer experiences and while it was hard to get anything meaningful from it I am happy to have had it.
Thanks for the very helpful replies guys, and sorry I wasn't here sooner to reply! I've been mega busy of late and very tired from trying to project again every night since, it's hasn't got easier as you've already said Spawn-Xe, seems even harder but I'm a very determind person and very stuborn (Taurus the Bull) mwah ha ha ha ha, so when I want to do something I will do it (however long it bloody takes me lol).
I will take everything you guys have said into account for my next journey (if I have one *starts to cry*) and hopefully my journey will be a longer one now I know what to do to stay more calm and to keep OOB longer.
Happy Travels and Blessings!
Kristy
Whoa :-) thats a real inspiration for me to keep trying haha! Congrats!
Congrats! hearing success stories on this board really makes me feel good. Soon enough i'll join you with a success story of my own hehe
Can't wait to hear it Exclip :) Keep us all posted!
Congratulations Kristy! I know how you feel. The first one for me was the memorable and probably the best as far a realism.
Keep on trying!
Amazing, absolutely amazing.
Great job Kristy, I am happy for you. You deserve it, after practicing for 6 months!
The first one is always one of the most memorable.

I also think it's funny that you and enlightenment speak of the misty outline. I've experienced it too but only when I had my first OBE.
My "floating/other" body was the bluish/grey/white mist outline "aura" thing. I saw this when I outstretched my arms to hug a psychic at the end of my experience. The outline was made up of many tiny moving dots (electrons? lol could be something along those lines, no pun intended) and in between transparent. In the beginning of that amazing first experience, when I looked down at my body...all I saw was what I percieved to be my parents, though it was really just these strange still bright colors in a fetus position! But I've never seen my physical body though when out.
So yeah. I've mentioned it before a while ago on here, but that's strange how you two saw it where your physical body was and how I saw it as my "out of" body... :?
***Thanks folks***
Still in hot persuit of my second OBE :-D No luck yet, but I'm on the case lol.
