Insane night!

[knightlight]

Last night I was meandering about the 'net for a while and I came across an article on phasing where it said if you see blobs or whatever while noticing to try to spin them with your mind or astral hands and that would help.  I first tried a normal OBE exit than I tried some noticing and dozed off.  I woke up and stayed still and started noticing.  I remembered in another thread about how Selski said tactile sensation was important to her for phasing and I concurred with that and decided to try the method I read about and to try to feel the objects.

I was noticing and nothing happened... not a blob, not any spots nothing.  I was so relaxed and almost asleep I didnt want to waste the opportunity so I tried some visualization.  I am a bartender and I use alot of different mixes like :strawberry, raspberry, bloody mary, banana, etc. and they are all in different colored containers.  I handle them every day and I figured if I was going to visualize something I could imagine easily and feel easily I should imagine one of the containers as I had worked 11 hours that day and handled plenty of them.  I started to imagine the container and suddenly POOF there it was in the blackness!  I grabbed it and suddenly I was phased into work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  :confusion:  I dropped the container sending strawberry flying everywhere and I just stood there.  People where milling around and some of my coworkers walked by me and said hi to me.  I couldnt believe it.  I had never phased so easily in my life.:seeya:

I woke up again and stayed still again.  I imagined the container again but this time when I grabbed it I was in a house.  My uncle was there and he was holding a shoe box full of random things and he tried to give it to me but I started to feel sick and he was creeping me out so I jumped through the wall and closed my eyes.  When I opened them I was laying on my back with my legs up in the air pinned in an awkward position between 2 things I couldnt see and a fly was walking around on my chest.  I closed my eyes again and opened them and I was in bed.  I noticed some things where out of place and something moving out of the corner of my eye.  I reached down over the edge of my bed and one of my parents cats brushed up against my hand.  I thought "well if you had been in here all night (I keep my door closed at night) you must really want out!" and then suddenly I look down and its my cat that has been dead for 3 years and suddenly I am falling and falling and falling............  :aargh:  and I wake up in my bed for good.  I continued using this technique for the whole night until I woke up this morning and I must say it was WAY easy but I am not sure what state I was in to make it work so well.  I tried using this morning when I woke up and I just couldnt do it.  All the experiences I had last night where the most lucid and amazing I have ever had.  Selski you gotta try this!!!

Wow, that's cool. But phasing back to work after an 11 hour shift must suck - "...not here again!"   It almost sounds like the old-school way of meditation: Take a simple object like a pencil, and hold that one image in your head as long as you can without letting other thoughts intrude. Repeat as necessary.

Many of my experiences are similar, however not on that large of a scale. I find when I'm visualizing, something will appear in clear view, as if I'm looking at it in the physical world. Yesterday it was a fir tree. If I concentrate on it a whole world opens up in my field of vision, but it ALWAYS shocks me because it's never what I expect. Every time. I think the longest I've ever held on was about 5 seconds: I was lying in bed at home, and when I looked around and I was in bed in a dirty, worn hotel room with dark blood-red wallpaper that looked like it hadn't been cleaned since 1978. I'll immediately phase back to the physical and feel as though I wasn't even asleep, just in a weird mental trance. I guess that's why meditators can do it sitting up?

WOW!!

Hi Stookie

I'm still getting this most of the time too.  It's very frustrating, because you know you have "made it" only to find that when you realise this fact, you have no longer made it and are back to square one.  

However, what I would term my successful phasing attempts are when I'm not shocked back to the physical.  These are when I am so deeply relaxed that I seem to drift into the scenery and lollop along quite happily.  My lucidity is probably about 85%.  I have the knowledge that I am non-physical, the ability to levitate, fly and so on, but not quite the presence of mind to ask those really vital questions to the characters I meet, such as "what is your name, where are we and what year is it?"  

I'm getting there.  In my latest lucid dream I managed to get a year, but then didn't do anything with that knowledge... )  but it seems to be a slow process and I get easily frustrated.  These lucid dreams don't come as often as I would like!

I see what you're saying. I do find it successful in the fact that it's better than nothing though. I'm actually happy with my results and it doesn't frustrate me at all. I know I'm on the right track. (This was the wrong place to post it though. Not tryin to hi-jack knightlight's thread  )

It was actually kind of my goal because I figured it would be the easiest place to get to because it was still so fresh in my mind.  It was strange because it was a combination of the place before and after we remodelled and the employees where a mix of old and new as well.  Very interesting experience.

I agree with the meditation connection but NEVER before has an object just appeared to me during noticing.  It wasnt like your typical imagery where it is plain to see but seems separate from where you are.  This container was there.  It just hovered there and I grabbed it.  I wasnt in FZ either even though for a minute I thought I was.  Maybe I had already phased and didnt know it?  I swear I could feel myself in bed... hmm...   :poh:

I agree 100%.  It is always a success if I see anything, but it is a triumphant success if I can actually enter it.  I dont know why sometimes it is so shocking and sometimes it is such a natural process just to slip into the pictures.  Maybe it is a lower lucidity?

Thats exactly how the town was i saw today. Except I think i was in a deeper "trance" because I could just barely feel my body. It was exactly how i read described on here, I could feel it "back there" but i really had no need for it. I had a strong feeling that everything i was experiencing was being created by me in real time. I also had a period of time that i cannot remember being awake before I became lucid, so that might have something to do with it.

I agree.

Congratulations Knightlight on yet another awesome phasing experience! :applause:

I think that's a very good idea, to incorporate something very ordinary from your everyday life, and use it as a sort of... I don't know what to call it...  Some kind of connection between the physical and non-physical world!  Something to grasp onto "physically."

I think I will try to think of something like that which I can use!  Thanks for sharing--good luck, and I hope you have more exciting phasing adventures to share with us! :mrgreen:
