After months of reading this board.. I finally had a conscious OBE!

I read Astral Dynamics a few months ago and its been the only book i've read on the subject.  

For anyone who's really really having problems projecting For me waking up at four in the morning when i had to be up at 7 helped me so much.  When i know i need to get up at a certain time I automatically wake up a few hours earlier just cus i stress about not waking up on time.
Well i looked at the clock and saw it was four.. layed down on my back and was getting ready to go to sleep when i got really really intense vibrations.  So i started the rope method.. finally when i reailized i was using my "actual hands" i was able to reason and think to myself "i was so tired theres no way im using my real hands ..instead im using my "astral" hands. " when i came to this realization i opened my eyes and looked around.  I walked through my bedroom wall just to make sure it wasn't just me awake then I did something kind of weird.  I looked under my bed and around the house because I suspected an entity of some kind around me.  There was a eel type thing and it attacked me but this might have been something else. Im not going into that here.. anyway i checked the house a little and left through the wall.  Things started to get fuzzy when i was in a mall area so i hugged a stump only because i had read of rb doing that to get energy.  I also tried to remember to feel my body and to feel the energy raising. (im really impressed with how much i remembered)..

I remember skipping along the street and i remember waking myself up.  However i also remember thinking "i need to write this down or ill forget" but i was so tired i just couldnt get myself to get up and write it so really im sure there's something i forgot.  

After that though it was less pleasant. I had around 7 lucid nightmares.. i cant explain them since things like nightmares are always so much more scary when you're in them.  They lose a lot of that when they are retold.. but it was one after another.. one false awakening.. where i got up and.. realized i was dreaming and the same reaccuring person came at me.

I asked for a sword at this point (i remembered that) and one dropped.. but im positive it was a lucid dream type of creation.. i really dont think it was an astral projection thing at this point. There was no ceremony and i think the sword didnt even work from what i remember.  

Anyway i have to admit the next two hours weren't enjoyable with constant really waking/ falling back asleep only to false awaken and have a lucid nightmare.  i'd even stand there and say this is just a dream but i really did feel pain.  by this time i was drained of all energy so by my fourth lucid episode i was barely able to walk through my wall outside.

I realize this sounds fantastic or weird but ive had lucid dreams on a very regular basis.  So its never been anything extraordinary to me.. but it was the first time i knew i was awake and really projected
it was really amazing.  However I feel i lost a lot of what i did because of all the subsequent dreams/nightmares.  
it was definitely and eventful night.. i think i was successful because of a new job i started which i was worried about waking up late for.. (thus waking up at 4 am).

I really recommend waking yourself up with two alarms. one two hours before you have to be up that you can shut off and one obviously for when you really have to be up.
Robert bruce has stated this is the best time to try and really i have to agree wholeheartedly... im one of those who is too lazy or impatient to really physically relax when trying.. im going to try it again tonight.. its worth the false awakenings after.

good luck!
