My First OBE!

[blade5x]

Ok, well, I haven't tried everyday, but I found a method that works great for me. It invloves WBTB technique for Lucid Dreaming, and it can only be done for me on days I don't have to get up for work. The result? 3 days in a row I succesfully induced Sleep Paralysis in the morning. Day one - I had a Lucid Dream. Day two - I had some cool HH mistaken for an OBE (had hallucinations in Black and White or my bed and wall in front of me, in which everything was moving in a wave-like motion). Day three - OBE!


So here's my experience. I've always had a fear of what it might be like, and that kind of held me back earlier this month when I made a few attempts. I always got to the point where I would feel vibrations and hear some ringing, and I would always back out. My first time of vibes, they were way to intense. Now, they're between mild/moderate. So, I induced sleep-paralysis, I got to the point of vibes where I would usually back out, but I laid there and thought... no way I'm going all the way this time. I tried to feel myself floating, but wasn't getting to far. So then I try the roll-over technique, first try, I feel myself rolling, and all of a sudden I see that I'm a foot above my bed and I'm moving out towards the floor (this is all really blurry), and I can feel myself being ripped away from my body, I even heard like a ripping noise (sounded kind of like a video game though), and soon I can feel myself touch down against the floor. At this point its all black and I can't see anything. I can hear some kind of disturbing high pitched noise, don't know what it is, but I proceed. I think to myself, "I need to stand-up," and I did... sort of. I was standing not straight, but kind of crouched on my knees. And then I started clapping because I was happy (I saw my forearms and hands, they resembled my physical). If any other APer ran into me, they would have though I was some retarded entity or something lol. At this point I felt something near me, I didn't know what it was, and it scared me, so I wanted back into my body... nothing. So then I went over to where my body, and got close to it, still couldn't get in, then about a second later I woke up. I also then realized that the high pitched noise was my computer. My graphics card tends to be high pitched even on idle (can barely hear it), but for some reason my concious just decided to amp it up really loud. Was a good experience overall. And I should mention, it felt nothing like a Lucid Dream. Also, it felt like I was only 2-3 feet tall, but it had to be the really wierd position I was standing in.

Question

Does anyone else feel a tingly/static like feeling? Maybe because it was my first OBE, but this feeling was like I was high or something everywhere around my body.

Thanks for reading.

Ok, what happened to me there was not "Astral Projection", instead it was "Etheral Projection" and that explains the difficulty I was having there. But its still a must experience and I will continue to do this until I am sufficient in moving around the Etheral Plane and experiencing it before I conciously attempt Astral Projections. (Because Etheral is one level below Astral, I'll look at it as like... Level 1, and that must be passed before I can move onto Level 2, the Lower Astral )

But this is my method.

Go to sleep, and set your alarm clock so you wake up about 5-6 hours later. When you wake, go back to sleep. Now, hopefully you'll have one or two dream cycles, and you'll wake up again in 1-2 hours. Usually, you should wake up right inbetween REM cycles, so this is the perfect to induce sleep-paralysis. Go to sleep like you normally would, but just stay aware of what you are doing and what your goal is. Don't let thoughts distract you to much. It's ok to have thoughts, but just stay aware of what's going on. You should at some point feel as if your body just "fell into itself" which is the best I could describe the onset of sleep-paralysis as (may take some practice, if you fail, just go back to sleep, and try again the next time you wake, if you do this right, you can get a few attempts in the morning between your REM cycles). Once your in sleep-paralysis, think about how you want to have an OBE, but by the then you should have already started to feel vibes. Your first time ever, you may have vibes that are very intense, so if they are to intense, you can always back out and try again the next day. It took me about 5 episodes of sleep-paralysis for me to get used to the vibes for me to be able to achieve an OBE. Anyway, when the vibes get pretty strong and you begin to hear a rushing-like noise, try to feel yourself floating. If that doesn't work, try the roll-over method. Just try and make yourself feel like what it would feel like if you were to begin rolling over toward the edge of your bed. At the same, try to visualize yourself rolling. What I did is what pictured a body (I don't know if it was mine, don't remember) from the top view, and picturing rolling in the direction in which I was attempted to roll. Then everything pretty much happened on its own. Separation can be pretty intense, but at the same time so amazing. You can really feel yourself separating. I hope this helps, and  good luck.

Hopefully I won't look like an idiot next time walking around in wobbly circles while crouched really low, with my arms extended clapping off beat while grinning.
