Very happy to have had my first projection in almost two months now! My last projections were the ones I posted back in May or early June where I had two on back to back days, and the second one was extremely long. I think I'm on the right track in how I'm understanding these experiences. I'm trying not to let too many books or other sources influence how I interpret them, but rather let the experiences speak for themselves.
9:22am- Went back to bed to nap playing binaural beats for 20 minutes. My dog jumped up on the bed and laid next to me which meant I knew I wasn't going to project because I'm far too light a sleeper and she would probably wake me up from scratching herself or snoring or something. So I just decided to nap, although I really strongly wanted to project. Eventually she jumped off the bed and about an hour later I "became aware" through the usual loud ringing noise. I focused on it, and I was surprised at how much quicker things progressed and how easily I "got out of body". Usually it feels like I'm trying to roll out of a bed of quick sand or something. Today I popped right out with almost no resistance.
I started walking to the bathroom, still with no sight at all, feeling dizzy. As I clung to the bathroom door frame looking towards the direction of the mirror, I knew my sight was going to come in, and sure enough it did without me even having to say anything this time (usually I have to scream VISION NOW! Like 20 times). I looked at myself in the mirror, impressed with the detail of my non-physical body and how it looked perfectly like my physical body in the mirror. Suddenly I saw a person walk into the bathroom behind me in the reflection of the mirror. I knew from reading not to be freaked out but to have a mild curiosity. I turned around and nobody was there, but when I looked back in the mirror, I could see her standing there. It was my wife, wearing nothing but a T-shirt as she does when she sleeps at night. I immediately turned back around and wrapped my arms around her. We kissed and I held her head in my hands as I looked down on her with love. She said "Aaron, I've done something..." and I said "what's that sweetheart?" I knew in the back of my head that this wasn't really my wife of course, and I wanted to move on to go somewhere in the Astral, but I was very emotionally caught up in this moment and couldn't seem to get myself away.
Just as she was about to answer my dog was snoring loudly and it woke me up.
So from what I understand, the version of my wife that I met was probably just my own emotional interplay which created her there? The only other option as I understand things, would be that it was a real astral entity who took the form of my wife to fool me. I don't think that was the case though. My clarity and awareness still made this feel like a Lucid Dream, although I know it was indeed an OBE because of the exit methods I used. Clarity and awareness is slowly improving each time though, which is great!
Any input is much appreciated!
I knew my sight was going to come in.
You knew it and it occured withou any problem.
Ok, what normally happens?
I knew it wasn't my wife... and wanted to move on.
You had the thought of moving on, ok, did you know where you know where you were going? A destination you had kept in mind all the time perhaps.

Nope...I think thats my problem. I have no idea WHERE exactly I want to go because I haven't been anywhere yet. So I should probably have a very specific destination in mind next time, yes? I guess I think that somewhere I really want to go like anywhere in Frank's Focus 3, or to The Source, or the "Akashik records" would be too far reaching for where I'm at now. But from what I gather you're saying, as I think, so it will be. I'll remember that for next time :)
That my dear is a fine example of a thought form.

You think so? What about it makes it stick out to you as a thought form? (Just wondering so I can know how to better recognize thought forms over real entities next time)
It's mostly by your reaction to it and description of it being your wife but not your wife. Your idealizing. It could be a thoughtform superimposed over your wife too. Thoughtforms give you kind of a WTF feeling Sometimes it can be really strong to the point of being extremely scary. It's too taylored to you to be totally independent. Also if your just starting out, that's mostly what you see in the beginning til you kinda get the generation mechanism under control . You can name it and put it to work if you want to.

Very good advice, thank you. I honestly just try to stay slow to speak and quick to listen when it comes to this stuff, and I am learning alot both through my experiences, and from seasoned projectors like yourself. I have many questions but I try not to ask them all at once because from what I've learned, most of your questions will be answered through your experiences, and then replaced by 10 more questions lol. I guess that's the way it goes with OBE's.
The only question I'll ask based on your last post is, what do you mean by your last statement of "getting the generation mechanism under control" and "naming it and putting it to work if you want to"?
Thank you again for your input
The thought = action thing.
You'll be thinking with a physical world mindset. Hey, it's early days and that's how it is at the beginning.
With 100% lucidity you're more likely to be flitting around from scene to scene.
You'll get the hang of it.

Hmm... Last night I tried to beat up my 'thought form husband.' Is this the difference between young love and 25 years of marriage? Lol! Well, I didn't really beat him up, I just backed him into a corner and tried to make him disappear. He was speaking in random phrases of gibberish and was acting erratic and a little hostile. It was a little strange that he woke up this morning and said he got a bad migraine during the night and slept fitfully. Makes me wonder if sometimes what I'm calling a thought form is a real aspect of the person. If so I guess I just added insult to injury!

Intent works regardless of reality.
You placed the Intent toward "harming" him... and it seemingly had an effect upon him. :)
