Hallo one & all
This is the second in a series of 4 or 5 recent OBEs. This one was less arcane and eerie than the last one and was more like a 'normal" OBE. I called this
"Late For Wakeup"
Thursday March 31, 2011 (OBE # 103)
This actually began in the dream state where I was driving a car on Beechwood Blvd in the Squirrel Hill section of Pittsburgh. I was going some place, yet could not remember where, so pulled the car into a parking lot.
Next I awoke in astral awareness still in the parked car and still unsure as to where to go. I started up the car and drove down the street towards Murray Ave. When going through that intersection I was even more confused because that location did not appear to look like it should have. So I turned around and drove back through that intersection. Then I pulled over, stopped the car, got out and flew up into the air to take a look around. After landing back on the sidewalk I was approached by a 30-something black woman. She was of moderate height and build and attraction. She sensed that I was lost. I explained to her that I was late for something and was in a hurry. And then I immediately left her, took to the air and flew off.
Now airborne I flew over the large hill of Squirrel Hill heading to the University of Pittsburgh campus in the Oakland section of the city. Flying was slow yet was not laborious. While flying over the campus area a man stopped and questioned me. He was white, in his mid thirties and looked vaguely similar to the actor Jeff Bridges (although he was obviously not that person).
I explained to him that I was late for a speaking engagement at a nearby conference on paranormal phenomena. Actually what was happening is that I was 'late' in getting back to my physical body and was currently experiencing the paranormal phenomenon of being outside my physical body. This man told some people that he was with that I might need help flying over or around several large nearby buildings. I responded that no help was needed and that I could capably navigate those obstacles without any assistance. To prove this I took to the air again and demonstrated some flying skills, which were adequate yet not very impressive.
The man accompanied me in flight for 2 or 3 blocks. The area was a reasonable facsimile of the Oakland section of the city with the most recognizable landmarks -- The Pitt University Cathedral of Learning and St Peter's Church in the correct locations. Yet many other familiar buildings and streets were not in their normal locations. It was daylight and there were many vehicles and pedestrians moving about.
This OBE was just about over. There was some difficult flying in the next block or two, which I just did quite manage to do. Then I was back in my physical body.
Notes. Time was between 6:10 AM and 6:51 AM. Duration of the OBE was probably at least 40 to 45 minutes. I lay on my left side. OBE #103 was in a familiar BST, that of a section of the city of Pittsburgh. There were enough differences between the places that I flew over and the 'actual' physical layout to confidently label it a belief system territory. There were no familiar persons seen yet there were many unfamiliar (mostly) discarnate persons. Deliberate (passive), Confused, Emotional, Flight. Teleport, Dream >>into>> OBE (and maybe sleep paralysis?). Pranayama (before), Meditation (before), Affirmations (before) and also practiced rope cargo net earlier before sleep.
Note 2 One of the affirmations I do nightly before sleep is to "Wake up at 6:45 AM or earlier". This OBE occurred right about that time. So I must have been in a hurry to fly back to my physical body and awaken. This is an interesting case of an affirmation working (in reverse) and facilitating an OBE.
This was another successful dream conversion into an OBE. This is the method that I am currently focusing on and it is beginning to work well.

What's your secret for the insanely long OBES? 45 minutes!? Dayummm. I envy the substance of your experiences as I've said before, thanks for posting.
