Hi Everyone....New at this whole thing

[WeaAreOne]

I wanted to let everyone know that I have very much enjoyed all the posts, insight, and education I have gotten over the past weeks.

I was somehow drawn to search on the internet for such topics, and I found myself here.  It may have stemmed from me exploring my very early stages of teleK abilities.

Anyway, I have been trying to project for a little while, and I seem to be having the same issues as a lot of others.  I have read all the facts, books, and scoured the internet in search for that one thing that might get me over the edge and out!  I still have not found it.

I can relax very easily and quickly, and can get almost paralyzed.  My biggest issue is I dont seem to be able to get out.  Sometimes no matter what I try I just lay there.  Recently, I know my body is asleep, and my mind is awake, but then suddenly, I hear myself snore, and I get back to the same state.  CAN ANYONE please help me?  What am I doing wrong or not doing right?

Also, Can anyone tell me what the difference is between Lucid Dreaming and Astral/OBE?

Thanks so much to all, and I wish everyone the best.

Regards,

Dave

Dave..just relax if you can when initial  things happen..it is the most mind blowing thing to have your first astral projection.
There is an ordinary dream - no control.
There isa Lucid dream -you are aware you are dreaming in a dream/astral environment and have total control in that environment..
There is an OBE in the "real" physical world/dimension where you are aware of eg your physical body..everyday physicalenvironment...

Michael,

Thanks very much.  So there IS a difference between OBE, and Astral then.  Is one of them easier?  I practiced again today, and just could not get myself Out!!  I am getting frustrated, I am very eager to learn how to do this.  Any other thoughts from you or anyone would be great!!
