OK, I hope this doesn't sound stupid, but... for the last few days, whenever I've been practicing my phasing, I've kept being startled awake by what I can only imagine is, ahem, snoring. :oops:
I'll be lying there, perfectly quiet, slipping off as I do, and then... I hear this unpleasant, loud snoring/snorting noise coming from myself! And I wake myself up! Sometimes it really startles me! I haven't been breathing so well when I sleep, the air is so muggy. Everyone always tells me that I snore sometimes--I guess I can't argue with them any more! :oops:
Has anyone else had this problem? Please tell me I'm not the only one! ;)
AMM,
I think everyone has gone through this one time or another. I've done this myself at times. The one good thing that comes out of it that one is able to put thy self into the trance a lot easier. Like that alarm clock technique I had mentioned in earlier posts.
Ever since 3 months ago, I started working out, jogging, eating healthy foods and stopped drinking beer 8months ago my wife has noticed that I snore less than I use to. I think this has to do with losing the weight in the face, neck that allows better circulation.

I have had this happen more that once. It's one thing for people to tell you that you snore, it's another thing to actually hear yourself snore. I'm not advertising or anything, but I bought this contour "Memory Foam" pillow at Target for $20, and it did the trick (90% of the time). It keeps my neck elevated and my head straight for better airflow.
When your screams start to wake you up, that's when you've got a problem:

:shock: That's one thing I hope never to hear--my own screams!
Fortunately, I did better last night... a weather front must have come through, because the air has been drier.
I've been wanting one of those foam pillows, anyway, so I'll probably get one. It's so hard to get my head and neck comfortable when I lie on my back to practice phasing! I never sleep on my back, so I'm not so used to it. I usually, just take the bottom of my pillow and make a roll beneath my neck.
You know AMM I sometimes get the same thing. I will be lying there in bed and think to myself "Who's making that awful noise?". I will then realize that it is me :oops: .
The thing is it never occurs to me to try to project as my body is obviously asleep and my mind is awake. Woe is me, all those missed opportunities. :P
My sister once farted so loud she woke herself up. That might make you feel better.

I know that I'm definitely in the Mind-Awake-Body-Asleep state when I hear myself snore. If only I could ignore it and just continue the phasing process, but like I said it sometimes startles me! I'll just have to try to get used to it, I guess. :)

Thanks for sharing, Aerotus--that does make me feel better! :lol: I don't think I could have brought myself to post if that had been the problem!

Ooh that is soooo funny.
I've heard myself snore more then once. Funny thing is it sounds so loud that I think, "I need to stop that or I'll wake up the whole house!"
As for the pillow, I haven't found one of those fancy ones that I like. Instead, I use an old, rolled-up towel under my neck and toss the other end over my eyes.
Now for the best part of this thread. I though that Stookie had the best wake up until Areotus shared his sisters 'problem'. lol
One_each: It does sound incredibly loud, doesn't it? :lol: That's why it startles me! Hm... maybe if I do it hard enough, I can jump out of my skin--literally! :mrgreen:
I agree, Aerotus's sister's "wake up call" takes the cake! :lol:
cake? anyone mention.. count me in..! hah
Don't think I've never awakened myself up by farting. I know I've awakened others up and made them cry, but thats whole different story!
