Hard Time Leavin'

[WalkerInTheWoods]

Do not think about your physical body. Ignore it completely. Do not even think about ignoring your physical body. Just clear your mind of your physical body completely. Thinking about your phyiscal body can quickly bring you back into it, especially at this stage.

I really don't think I think of my physical body.  I hear people talk about buffer zones, and I wonder if that's what I'm experiencing.  Because, when I do get out it's like I get far enough and I feel like I'm almost being squeezed out to a short distance from my body.  Then it's easy, as long as I remain focused, but my trips don't last long, and I can't see that well.

I've been working on lucid dreaming, and although I'm not having great success with it I have been finding myself in a wonderful position to leave my body.  What's happening is that I'll tell myself at night that I will have a lucid dream.  I'll sometimes start to become lucid and then lose it and find myself in my bed with my legs waving back and forth like a fish tail.  A few times I've been able to concentrate and leave.  However, a lot of times that this happens to me I have a hard time getting out.  I'll feel my legs waving and then I'll let my body start to fall through the bed but it will suddenly be jerked back.  I feel myself wavering in and out, but if I get more than a few inches out I get pulled back.  It feels like my body is a magnet, and I can't break it's pull.  Any thoughts?
