Different experiences....

Hey.

I am getting back in the swing of things, and hoping that a little conversation with other projectors will help dust off some old memory banks.

My main concern is that I can usually induce LD, and dream recall is not hard, but getting to a fully conscious OB state can be a challenge. I can do it, but not reliably. I wanted to ask if you have best luck going OB from a LD, or not - and what sorts of tricks I might be forgetting. On the MAP forum, RichB's mention of ROPE reminded me that I used to use that. I'll try that again.

Otherwise - I typically try to get to a mindawake/bodyasleep state, or try to regain consciousness after falling asleep. I know firm intent and desire are important - I know raising energy can be beneficial -

I suppose I am asking for other tricks you may have.

Frank - if you still read, I remember your squishy ball technique. I throw that into the mix sometimes.

Talk to you later -

Patty
