Just My Story

[vinse2690]

Alright, I'm Vinse and I've been into astral projection and OBE's for about a year now.  I have only projected/lucid dreamed twice.  I'm not sure of the difference.  I will be awake and then the next thing I know I'm in my dream<-? and in the dream<-? I'm saying "I'm really projecting, this is working." And I can usually fly and control some aspects of the dream but I feel it isn't a complete experience.  You all are probably alot more experienced than I am.  Am I just dreaming of projecting?  I don't quite understand.

I just found out that the technique that I use is the Inner-Rhythym Method.  I can never get past the rocking sensation.  It dissapates after about 7 seconds then im back to the drawing boards.  I can never get launched out of my body.

Hmm...sounds like your at about where I am

I have experiences/memories of being 'out of body', and kinda knowing - realizing while in a dream 'I am here'..a whole new realization.  

Last night for example...I dunno if I was dreaming or my consciousness just kinda clicked into place...but I remember kinda pushing through my walls in my house...I remember going outside and it was day...a even deeper realization that I AM here.  Actually one of my most awared experiences.  Such a cool, just knowing feeling through out my body.  'Ok I am here'  -  'let's try to fly' - start flying a little - kinda hard.  Kinda like I'm trying to step up on the air.  Instead of kinda flying I'm kinda picking myself up , climbing on the air. ?.  I remember looking up and thinking maybe I can make it to the moon..but instead of flying (as it would take forever) kinda will myself there.  I remember closing my eyes and it felt as my body was being guided - like being shifted into place..somewhere.  I was at the moon, i was looking at the moon...except it was weird...the moon looked like this old inflated ballon with torn holes through it. 'Hm that's weird, wonder why it's like that?' - Maybe I made the moon look like that because of the state of mind my minds been at..i dunno...
I dunno, that's about it.  It was a cool experience.

YES, I know exactley what you mean; I do the same thing... the first thing I do to make sure I'm really projecting is try to fly. And when I try to Project from conciousness and use the Inner-Rhythym method, I always stop breathing so I have to breath manually and it throws me off my concentration.  Any suggestions?
