No Exercise Before Bedtime!

For some time now, I've been exercising before bedtime.  This seems to have decreased my opportunities to enter the Phase using the deferred method (sleep first, induce an OOBE later).  The reason why exercise before bedtime is not a good idea is that it gets the body's adrenaline going despite making the muscles tired, and this can make it difficult for one to fall asleep.  I've had trouble sleeping, and, when I finally manage to do so, it is very late and I don't get up until the time when I'm supposed to get ready to deal with waking life affairs.  It's true that I can always enter the Phase in the morning, but this only happens when I can afford to do so.  At the moment I feel a little bit out of touch with that world. 

Due to the apparent failure being linked to exercising late,  I decided to exercise around 5 pm of the previous day instead - plenty of time for my adrenaline levels to decrease before bedtime.  This seems to have facilitated my plan to enter the Phase, because, despite having gone down at 1.45 am, I slept for three hours and went back to bed at 5.10 am to induce my experience.  My stay in the Phase was short-lived but at least I succeeded in entering it this time. 

I started by relaxing and it didn't take long for me to experience a familiar shift in consciousness.  No vibrations were perceived on this occasion.  Instinctively, I rose from the bed and realised I was in the Phase as soon as I saw my hands gradually forming and becoming.  Rubbing my hands together and feeling up the rest of the body was my anchorage.  The tactile sensations I experienced, as I proceeded to touch nearby objects, seemed to have fortified the Phase. Vision had become pristine too.  I remembered all my plans. 

I was to go through the hallway mirror, in the belief that, on the other side, I would encounter Stacey in a different dream-world.  I would then translocate to a wedding environment and dance with her.  Despite my plans, I only got as far as going through the mirror to discover a house extension that doesn't exist in the physical realm. 

Finally, I glided through a window and found a scenery which was quite different from what should have been my back garden.  I closed my eyes in order to translocate, but, after a second of darkness, I lost consciousness.  I woke up at 10.45 am with no recollection of anything else but that brief experience.
