As usual I had trouble going to sleep last night and got to bed around 2:30. I got up at 8:30, I read Spectral Dragon's post on feeling several forces at once for AP training:

I went back to bed and felt the following forces:
chest gravity
back pressure up from bed
air pressure in
body pressure out
clothing pressure
bouyancy
heat pressure
This technique does seem to work very well, I got to hypnagogic images very quickly. I dozed off and woke with awareness that I had separated sort of but had very low energy and couldn't get up. I think the reason I was able to project at all had a lot to do with that I'd lifted weights the day before, doing exercise really seems to help be raise energy. However it was the first time I'd lifted in many months and despite my efforts to go easy I overworked myself and am very sore now. I think the dull pain from my muscles is an energy drain.
Because of my low energy it was hard to stay focused on things and keep my imagination from creating things and further disrupt my connection to the RTZ.
With low energy eyes I was able to look around my room, there were things there which should not have been such as a maroon vinyl armchair. I didn't have the energy to get up so I decided to teleport to my parent's house, I visualized the front of the garage but it was a mixture of that and some oether imagery so I wound up in a bastardized astral version and not the RTZ.
I tried to cement my connection by staring at the pavement on the ground and see things without imagining them. I zoomed into microscopic vision and saw these trinket things that I began naming. There's more detail to this part but I can't remember it. I lost it and went back to my body. I projected to somewhere else in the astral, basically out of control at this point.
I was drifing through sort of an office space somewhere not on Earth and I overheard two ladies talking, one of them said that she knew a women who had lots of spirits in her field I think from Earth. I think they saw me, she refered to me as a 'vaporizer'.
I became aware of instructions for breathing effectively for energy, the idea was to force the air strongly out through your nose and maybe a small bit through your mouth. This creates pressure in your lungs that forces oxygen into your bloodstream.
