I had my first full blown OBE!

[ArmyOfOne1911]

Okay. Long story short. I could write a book on how it all went down but I am going to keep this very short and sweet.

I tried taking a nap this afternoon. It took a while to fall asleep. I think at once point maybe I did fall asleep. I did wake back up though after a while to use the restroom. Went back in bed. Tried to have an OBE again. I must have laid there for a long time... started to daydream etc. All of a sudden, I got a strong falling sensation. It went away because I got excited. It came again about five mins after. I felt that feeling. My body literally felt electrified. So much energy this time and the falling sensation was incredible. It was the most powerful I have ever felt it. I held that feeling and it all stopped....

I opened my physical eyes but felt different. I felt light. I tried moving my arms but instead saw a ghostly white arm wave instead of my physical. I was amazed. I felt very disconnected but very aware. I tried the roll out method. Worked PERFECT for me. I gradually rolled from left to right and plopped right on the floor. I was upset because I thought I had fallen out of bed. Until I looked at my bed and there I was lying there!!! WHOA!

I was so happy I started walking around my house. Things seemed a bit different... There were objects in different places etc. I remember seeing a fish swimming on my carpet floor? I examined him and then went back to my body to see if I were still lying there. Sure enough I was. I looked at my fingers and they melted just like I had told they would. I smiled... I jumped in my hallway and had almost floated across it. After a while things got muddy.... I think I went into dream mode because I appeared at a house I had no clue where it was. It didn't feel as real after a while and soon felt my spirit body get back in connection with my physical and there I woke up. I was SO HAPPY!

I just have a few questions... My spirit body had a physical like feel to it. Like when I touched a wall I was expecting it to just go right through but I felt the wall just like I would have in my physical body. I could feel my footsteps sometimes walking on the floor as well. Is this normal? It felt like I was in this body... but I wasn't. Also I went straight to my grandmas house after to tell her what happened. I have talked to her about this and she loves talking to me about it. RIght when I walked in to tell her what had happened she looked at me and said... "You need to tell your spirit buddies to not come here! than started laughing. I explained to her well I just had an OBE! Perhaps I went to my grandmas house and didn't realize it? She kept hearing doors slamming and stuff about the same time I was having the OBE. I remember during my OBE I was opening and closing doors as well... But I think I was at my house...

Long story short It was awesome. Next time I am only going to stay out for like ten seconds because it gets really muddy after a while. I am just so proud I finally did this and have gotten this far.

This forum has helped me so much.
You guys rock.

  from what i've experienced, if you expect something in the astral to feel real, then it will feel almost super lifelike. i'm sure that the same wall could be run straight through, if you had the intention, a little bit of speed, and maybe even your eyes closed. personally, when i expect to feel something, i will (even so simple as checking my pockets by patting the outside), however, with firm intentions, diving through the floor, walking through a wall or shooting up through the roof, are often just as easy said as done. interestingly, i often encounter slight resistance, with the floor and the wall, yet not the roof which is probably just as simple as i hadn't looked at it!

in regards to your grandmother hearing noises, i don't really know enough to have any decent advice, but a lot can be said for the imagination!! not being rude, don't disregard some kind of 'shared' imagination or something, especially if you have spent a lot of time conversing about the subject!!

Thanks predatoo!

Do you think what I experienced was an OBE though? I wonder why everytime after being at for a while things start to get muddy and feel weird. Maybe I need to do what Robert Bruce said and just stay out for about 20 seconds the first few times.

  i am almost certain it was an OBE. isn't it strange how easy it actually is to roll out once you've achieved the right state ! of course different methods will suit each individual better than others.

  it certainly pays off to keep your first few exits short, but the way i see it, this is just so that the experience can be easily remembered, and you can recognize the state just prior to separation etc. with more comfort. there are a range of deepening techniques you can use to help enhance the environment, and maintain your projection. personally, the easiest is rubbing your hands together as if trying to get them warm. blowing on your hands at the same time can enhance the method, but i'd recommend you try just rubbing first.

  if your keen at all for a bit of reading, there are a lot of good exit, deepening, maintaining, and trans-location techniques etc. at http://obe4u.com/files/sobt.zip

Hey.. I appreciate this man.

It was so easy rolling out! It was smooth too... I felt light as a feather!

I will give that link a read as well.

Thanks a bunch

  actually the website itself is probably better cos you just go straight to the info with the links and skip reading all the stuff you don't need. as long as you read up on exit techniques, deepening and maintaining, the rest will fall into place in it's own time

I really need to work on my memory. I mean I can remember my OBES pretty good but after a while they get extremely weird and I think it's because my body is getting sleepy etc.. Lose focus. Maybe I need to energize my Chakras? WHat do you suppose that fish I saw on my carpet was? Was it really a fish? Or do you think my mind made it up? It seemed to be floating there on the carpet. It was a really small fish. I didn't understand why it was there though. Wouldn't it want to be in water?

Congrats man!

  one of the best things for working on your memory is to keep a journal. i keep a journal about every attempt to project, even if the entry only states i was unsuccessful. then, it is easy to re-read journal entries later as stimuli, and it also creates a subconscious desire to remember.
  unfortunately, i'm not at all familiar with chakra work, so i cant offer any solid advice in that respect, but, when first learning to project, it will be mentally tiring, because everything is so new and exciting. perhaps if you tried some deepening techniques, you may be able to still your mind a little and enhance/lengthen the experience.
  i highly recommend you begin keeping a diary of some sort though! personally i just jot some information down in a little notepad, it may sound silly but it makes a huge difference
