New AP-- visited a friend and FA discovery!!!

[scout]

I have been unsuccessful in my last two attempts at AP'ing. I decided to give it a try back in my own bed vs the uncomfortable couch.  I played pink noise constantly on my headphones after doing binaural beats for about 40 mins. I began feeling vibrations and kept my excitement contained this time since I think this was an issue the last two times. I was soon rolling out and floating to the door. I couldn't see my surroundings so I used clarity now a few times then looked at my hands. Things brightened up and I took off flying above the trees and having fun. It was the best flying I've experienced so far! It was bliss!!! Then I remembered I wanted to see a friend so I asked to be taken to him. I recited his name and email address like that would help. I was pulled into the darkness and was going fast, sometimes spinning. I could hear what sounded like an old fashioned modem like my friend and I were being connected literally that way. LOL! I didn't succeed but found myself back in bed in a false awakening. I knew it was false because I could still hear the pink noise even though I was trying to remove the head phones. I was telling my husband to help me wake up and getting a little frustrated. But then I decided if I was still dreaming why not take off flying again and that's what I did! Total freedom and lucidity inside my FA! Woohoo! I tried a second time to visit my friend and was successful! Same thing happened with the modem sound and blackness then the next thing I know, I'm being dropped off in his front yard. I walk right through his window and into his bedroom. I see him in bed. I call his name softly and his eyes start to open. He smiles sleepily and says "where did you come from?". I smiled and was a little embarrassed but quite happy with myself so I left. I found myself in a FA again but it felt so real that I could even feel myself pinch my arm to see if I was dreaming. Again I could hear the pink noise still when I took the headphones out so I was suspicious. I decided not to panic and walk through a wall to make sure it was a dream since the pinch test didn't work. I went through my bedroom wall and was delighted to know I could be free yet again from this FA. So I decided to imagine I was riding a horse as fast as the wind just like when I was younger and had horses of my own. At first I was flying above a beautiful horse that was running across an open field but then I lowered down onto its back. I grasped its mane with my hands and felt the wind in my face. It was so lovely! A third FA began after that but thankfully my dog made some noise a few times so I was able to wake for real and remove my headphones. I think I will keep the pink noise routine from now on! It sure does beat being stuck in multiple FAs! I can't wait to find out if my friend remembers me coming to visit! In hindsight, I should have stayed longer and talked to him more so maybe he'd have a better chance at recall. I'm sure it won't be the last chance I get though to visit someone now that I know how to do it.

What a nice experience! Let's see how your friend reacts to it

Hallo scout
That was well done. Managing to stay calm, not get overly excited and go out of body a second time through a false awakening shows real improvement. Taking advantage of those good opportunities to go out of body is at least as important as trying OBE induction methods before sleep.

Here's a little update-- I finally got to talk to my friend who I tried to visit. I've never been to his house in the physical nor have I ever seen a picture. He sent a picture and it looked very similar to the house I visited (two story brick house on a hill with woods in the back)!!! He had no recollection of me being there but that's ok. I'm going to try again as soon as I get a chance.
