Thought I was going to pass out...

[Aquarious]

Hi,

I've been trying to induce oobe's for about three months now and I think I'm getting close. I haven't been able to wake myself up in a dream it's just too damn hard! Although I did get to a point where I kind of new I was dreaming but found it difficult to control. But I have been trying to induce them through meditation or deep relaxation and I didn't know whether to carry on or not...

About a week ago I did my daily try and leave my body trance (normally ends up in me nodding off) After about half an hour of not moving my body and watching the images and colours flash by etc... I began to feel what I think could have been energy numbing in the midle of my head (behind my nose, above my throat) It felt quite nice actually so I just went with it. I then continued to tell myself and try and feel myself leaving my body (which I was doing for the past half hour) when this surge of noise and light suddenly hit my awareness. The light was bright and the noise was a high pitched buzzing. Like many people, I've fainted say two, maybe three times in my life so nothing abnormal (I dont think?) and it felt exactly like I was about to pass out only the expereince was a much intense sensation...

As the feeling got louder and brighter (my brain also felt like it was fizzing), fear kicked in as I was convinced I was going to pass out, then for some reason I thought I would die. I've read and understood all about fear and I'm ticked that I let it get to me but it was just such a unpleasent sensation, I truly thought I was a gonner!

I moved my body and sort of broke out of the trance... Should I have just gone with it? If so what would have happened next?

Wow. I wish I knew that you experienced, wish I knew what it meant. I have no idea what would have happened if you had gone with it, but I don't see how you could die lying safely in your bed like that. Of course, fear is an understandable reaction. Keep on practicing. Don't lose faith. You'll see the astral soon

SO what your telling me is that you felt a lot of classic OBE symptoms and where about to phase (pass out) but didnt?  The few times I have phased from a completely awake state like you almost did thats essentially what I felt.  After the pass out feeling kicked in physical sensation started to fade (much like passing out) and it felt like every atom of my body passed through a screen and I was fully phased into F2.  I was standing by a car in the parking lot of a gas station about 3 miles away.

Next time forget fear, your ok, and you almost made it.
