Pull yourself out of your body. Tool.

[rainbowcity]

I think I had one of the weirdest experiences ever last night. I was listening  to a Q and A session by Tom Campbell on youtube when I was making dinner. Someone in the audience asked to explain how at the Monroe Institute some woman would sit in her chair and have someone pull her out to go into the astral. Someone else once sat in the same chair and he was pulled out of his body to go into the astral. The person asked Tom if he could explain this phenomena and he said that it could be either that the beings who pulled the woman out made a mistake and pulled someone else out or being pulled out was one of the lady's tools to get an OBE.

I thought to myself, "Hey that is brilliant, What if I could get pulled out by myself?" I was excited then forgot about the whole thing and was up late buying jewelry on Ebay. I went to sleep and this is what happened. I would say about 20 minutes after going to sleep. Something grabbed my hand and pulled me out of my body. It is by far one of the weirdest sensations in my life. I have read a lot of about OBES and am not really afraid of the dream world or this stuff but it was terrifying. Despite the deep fear I went along with it and thought that the show must go on. I must try. So I got out and was hovering above my bed.

I heard a religious saying. I am Muslim so it was something like, "Praise be to God" "Subhanallah". I calmed me a little because I was so freaked out. Another weird thing I noticed was some black smoke. Like a small swirl in mid air. It did seem evil. Then I was in a room, one of my dark awful dreamscapes that seems like a total waste of time. I kept saying that I wanted to visit my mothers house but it didn't work and I remained in this dark messy room. I tried walking but I couldn't walk or even float around properly. I felt like a bird with broken wings, or a cat with broken legs. It was very frustrating. I couldn't even stand up and was like an inch from the dreamscape carpet. I think I may try to rush things when I am aware because I feel that I have a limited amount of time and may fall back into the dream consciousness where I am unaware.

Then I woke up.

My conclusions are:

1)The mind is extremely powerful, If we can make a tool of ourselves to enter another reality.

My questions:

1)Why was I so limited in my movement?
2)How do I get to a more positive realm? I feel like I can't learn in these silly dark dreamscapes of dirty rooms, they are reoccurring
and I am over it.

1, It sounds like you are using physical methods to move. These hardly work in the early days. You have to use your will or thoughts with intent. That means to not expect some movement but to 'do' the movement knowing its going to work and see yourself travelling in the appropriate direction.
Easy to say but it will click. Shout "clarity now" then rub your hands together infront where you can see them. By doing this you'll create a form and ground yourself.
2, There may be something you need to address in these places. There's normally a reason if it's recurrent. Think outside the box. It may not be you but an interaction that needs working out. It's early days...

I have been in this area of a feeling being low down and in darkness, unable to move very well and my conclusion is it happened when I was in a low state of energy. Also when our cat had died and I visited him( in the spiritual plane for animals?)

I've had the experience of the dark oppressiveness where I felt like I couldn't move. I think there is some strong presence in the astral that is causing this.
