Latest OBE: Dog debacles and astral food sampling

[Astral316]

Hey all. I've been having a bunch of vivid lucid dreams lately but nothing on the OBE front til yesterday morning. Around 5-6 am I awoke from a lucid dream, then fell back asleep with no intention to project. Immediately I realize I'm out of body in the main hallway leading to my front porch. My mom is in the computer room next to it on a chair and reading a magazine. I try getting her attention in the hopes of her noticing I'm out of body. I believe we have short dialogue but can't remember it. I "float" over to her and look at the magazine... it's a magazine about candles. I look at the page number, hoping to remember it and later validate it... all while not taking into consideration that it's early morning and my family is asleep in bed. The page number is a pain to read. I remember it reading "989" but it would change slightly everytime I shifted off and back on the page.

Interesting thing about this experience is that I never felt any vibrations. I believe this was what they call "phasing"? The transitions from one projection to another was a lot smoother and took less effort while in the darkness of sleep paralysis.

Next thing I know I'm behind my house following a brook upstream towards a train tressel that crosses it. I was floating inches above the water, before phasing out.

I experienced bilocation throughout much of this OBE string. I would realize my body was holding tension and would try to make my body go limp as best as possible. This action seemed to intensify my OBEs.

Now I'm flying through the downtown area of a small city in which I go to college. I see no people, just buildings which I'm fascinated by because they seem exactly like their real life counterparts. At one point I'm floating over this vast fountain-like pool, believing it is part of the real city. In retrospect, the city has narrow water canals but nothing like the layout I envisioned.

At one point, around this time in the OBE string, I view this small, brown dog which is pretty stereotypical in appearance, wandering around on pavement. It has an orange reflective type of vest on it's back almost like he's used for some type of road construction. I feel like he was a lot more involved in my experience then I'm able to recall, because I remember hovering over him thinking that I had previously viewed life through his eyes. My view now changes and I see this type of grey scottish terrier-type dog. At this point I feel I'm switching to experiencing life through this dogs' eyes, so to speak. In retrospect I don't remember experiencing "being" either dog but those were the thoughts that were presented to me.

Now I believe I'm outside of a diner in the downtown area of the small city, with this scottish terrier and another dog (could be the brown dog but I don't feel like that's the case.) I feel like I'm somehow watching them. All of a sudden my vision "cuts to a scene" of this vicious long-haired greyhound which I vaguely remember seeing earlier on in the OBE but can't place the point in time. I basically have the feeling of "Oh no!" I know this vicious greyhound-looking dog is bolting for the two other dogs with the goal of tearing them apart. The next thing I know this greyhound basically crashes into the other two dogs outside the diner, rendering all three dead. The greyhound's snout was basically bent at a 90 degree angle sort of in cartoon-like fashion, which was pretty messed up. I picked up the third smaller dog which basically handled like a soggy pillow, again not realistic. I dropped the lifeless astral critter, thought "Oh well" and went into the diner.

In the diner, I see a decent amount of people eating. One skinny balding guy looks at me sort of nervously, as he's seated at his table facing the entrance. I walk up to him and slap him in the face... don't ask me why, I guess I'm impulsively violent in the astral. I see food at his table and question whether it's possible to taste things while OBE. I have/pick up a fork and stick it in the first thing I see. If I had to describe it it looked like a salsbury steak on some type of bread. I bite into it and indeed it did have a meaty taste, but I'd describe it almost as a "mock taste" if that makes sense. At that point I wake up.

Well that's all for now. Til next time...
