Last night's Experiences

cool experience! have you ever had OBEs before, or was this your first one? i didn't manage to get past the vibrations yet, so i won't be able to help you much - but i think that you're the only one who might be able to answer your question. if it was all clear the whole time and the house wasn't changing significantly before your eyes and you didn't move around things (opening doors etc) it might be more probable that it was no lucid dream and you were really talking to your parents (they might have been APing unconsciously?) or to thoughtforms you created, or whatever. i'm not quite sure how far reality fluctuations can go... maybe read on in Robert Bruce's book???

Sounds like an OBE the first time, then you OBE'd into an AP (back to your 'home', I'm the same way, there is only one house I ever return to, where I lived from 4-17 years of age).

Flare some energy around yourself if you hear voices again, it never hurts.

Oh yea, Congrats!

Yeah I definately think it was kind of an OBE and lucid dream combo. I read about it a day or so ago in Rober Bruces book, he talked about that sort of thing. It was definately very lucid like I was there, unlike any other dream ive ever had.

The reason I dont think it was a total true OBE is because my parents were there. I really dont think they would be AP'ing and be right there at the same time.

Yeah Im the same way, all my dreams take place in my childhood home. This one was really cool because I was able to get up close to things and examine them. There was even the kitchen wallpaper I was looking at and had totally forgotten about long ago.

Ahhhhhh, but that's the joy of AP. Your parents weren't really there, they were most likely constructs of your mind. If you had thought to, you could have projected anywhere/anywhen. AP is like that, you are only limited by your mind...

Yeah when I felt myself leaving my body, I told myself I should go somewhere this time, and of course the first thing I thought of, i guess I will go to the 'old house' and instantly I was there. I wish I would have stayed out longer and explored more places.

Jax, your experiences are similat to whar I have experienced over the last few years: not having good vision, having obe's after falling asleep after try to obe, hearing strange noises, having multiple obe's in one night, mixing obe's with lucid dreams.
Unfortunately it seems like few people have first rate obe experiences every time but if you keep trying you could have a few mixed in with the others.

I found that they started happening when I started to program where I wanted to go during vibration...takes practice but it works!

Last night I woke up around 2:30 am, figured I would try some techniques I had just read in Astral Dynamics. I tried for about an hour and a half to relax and project but finally gave up and decided to sleep.

After about 15 min or so of 'giving up' I work up a bit with the vibrations, so I figured ok, I will pull on the rope, and I felt myself pull out that instant. I just floated around a bit, but couldnt really see anything although I was trying to see my body, but I didnt. Then I felt like I floated outside the wall of my bedroom. I remember the book saying dont stay out too long, so I tried to go back to my body, and I felt myself back to the vibrations.

I thought to myself, well Im back, and still have the vibrations so why dont I try to go back out. So I pulled at the rope and I was back out immediately.. More floating, then I told myself to go somewhere. I ended up in the house I grew up in that all my dreams take place. This is where I think it turned into a lucid dream while I was outside my body because my parents were in the house and I was talking to them. If it was a lucid dream, that was the first Ive ever had, it was so crystal clear and for all I knew I was really there!

After exploring the house a bit and even finding details about the house that I had totally forgotten, I figured I better get back. I came back to my body, and I was in paralysis. While in paralysis I felt like someone was standing behind me and holding my arm and was hearing giggling in my ears, it was really eerie, it kind of freaked me out. I rember reading that you sometimes hear voices and things while in paralysis so I tried to ignore it and even laughed back and I was finally free of the paralysis..

So, did I go from an OBE into a lucid dream? Or what exactly happened?
