Amost my first OBE?

[mcdwg]

I was almost waking up this morning when I felt these vibrations as if a ring was around my body. I have to say I was not trying to OBE, these vibrations just came and I could  hear, feel, sense they were getting higher in intensity so I assumed I could get out. The first thing I did was to think of going up and I did feel as if I went up but came down after a second or two then I tried the roll over and I felt I rolled over and thought to myself wow I'm out but after a few seconds I was back, while all this was happening I could not see anything just sense, feel, so I thought to myself open eyes without actually opening my physical eyes and all I could see was two shapes of what appeared as dark holes where my eyes would be like a face mask but could not see any more than that, while all these was happening I was thinking how fearful I was before of maybe seeing things I didn't like but at these point I was almost wanting to see something different fear was not there at all just eagerness to experience something. I just laid there waiting for the vibrations to intensify and as I felt them getting stronger the stupid alarm went off and my wife called me to turn it off, I could hear her voice as if she was far away so the vibrations just faded .

A couple of things, I often have sleep paralysis so I don't know if I could be proned  to this. I am not actively trying to OBE because I want to read as much and learn as much as I can before I try any method. I was reading far journeys by Robert Monroe yesterday so I don't know if thoughts of that book were in my subconscious. Can these vibrations just come out of nowhere?

Any thoughgts

Hi. I am probably newer to this than you so I have little to offer. Sounds to me like more than just your imagination. Keep it up.

Good luck,

I think you're right but it felt exciting though. I'll just keep on learning and see where it takes me.

I'm going to disagree with mike.  This is a real phenomenon and not your imagination. It appears to me that you were having an episode of Waking Paralysis.  I believe that Robert Bruce speaks about this in his book Astral Dynamics.

If you re-read what Mike posted, you'll see that he was saying that same thing. 

In any case, mcdwg, experience first, read later?  Read first, experience later?
Whatever you plan on doing, you sound like you've on the right track.
Some people are much better and more natural at this than others.

Well I have to say it was very real and it has actually happened before but i never knew what it was. This time I was able to experienced some things in a more controlled way but didn't do much.

Yeah this is definitely there, I reckon...A little more time and you will be APing, the only thing is you say you don't actively work at it, so that may be the problem?
