Hey everybody...

I've been lurking around reading some of your posts recently.
I've become quite interested with AP in the last 6 months. I never knew it existed.

I have a few questions.
when I was a teen, I used to fall somewhere between sleep and being awake, concious. I only saw something on one occasion, a very clear face of an old man, very angry, deeply wrinkled, he wasn't very nice. He seemed to be having a rant, of all of it I only took away an image of his face and a name that i heard him say, Mishca Rose. This be means absolutely nothing to me but I have remembered
it for several years now.

Another time I recalled, I was again in this inbetween sleep when an elderly lady very clearly laughed in my ear, oiheard this in my physical ear, at 13 years old, I was certainly spooked.

These were the only experiences I recall that were memorable, but often, (many times after an emotionally hard day) I would again fall into this inbetween sleep, I would be on a totally blacked out house, quiet, noone near by but I would feel asthough I am standing in the middle of a party, muffled voices and many of them, sometimes I would open my eyes just to check where I was and as soon as I did they were gone..
I was in my younger, mid teens when I experienced that so I never mentioned it to anyone, thinking I was possibly losing it lol.. marbles still in tact

my question is, with the few things I have mentioned, do you know what this is or has any one else experienced this? I never left my physical body during these experiences so I guess I can't call it a projection but looking back it certainly was odd..

anyhoo, the other thing I have wanted to ask is, I have been trying to AP. A couple of times I have gotten as far as vibration, the first time, so much so, that my eyes vibrated open lol but I was still in the physical body. Its like everything goes dead silent, I begin to vibrate and tingle, my lips especially, I begin to feel heavy but light at the same time, bur I struggle to keep this going and struggle to keep my eyes closed as they just want to peel open. I've read the vibration is a good sign that you are close but I can't seem to get any further. Any tips? and would you say that i am actually on the right track?

Thanks in advance.
btw, I love reading all your experiences, so exciting

 Hello and Welcome to the Astral Pulse!

Check out the great Stickies here, they are the threads in BOLD BLUE LETTERS

This one here is very good. It talks more about the "intruder" scenario and all the sounds we hear during AP. Even though you didn't awaken in Sleep Paralysis, it's still a great read and will explain some important things about AP to you.

From there I would go to these.

Here is Xanth's free E-book too. It's a great primer on the entire subject at hand.

Those should keep you busy for awhile!  

But, It sounds to me like you got a "sneak peak" of the NPR (Non Physical Realms/Reality). That means that you did successfully "shift" and because of that, you had a very brief projection.

Don't get stuck on terms like projection and OBE. Just learn to create a good NP (Non Physical) focus and write down your experiences. There will be plenty of time to look back later to see what is really going on from your perspective!

Good Luck and Safe Travels!
