I have decided (with some prodding) to revamp Spirit-Quest, my book about OBEs, so that it might be print format. I've already begun to add much more content, especially in the neuroscience side, and experiments that have been done to help validate OBEs.
What I would like now, is to gather OBE descriptions. If you respond here, please remember that your OBE may end up in a printed book. I will try to incorporate as many as possible, to help illustrate different aspects of OBEs. So I need all types of different experiences, like Astral Projection, Etheric Projection RTZ, descriptions of meeting entities, flying, visiting awesome places (like space, or remarkable places on earth like stonehenge etc), and OBEs induced by different means... so please type your response post (if you wish to participate) in the following format:
A descriptive titile, type of OBE (AP, EP etc), how it was induced (spontaneous, willed by what method etc)
"OBE - like a journal type description... a few paragraphs long. Include in your description how the OBE affected you emotionally etc"
Your first name, and last initial (eg; John M.), and location (eg: Canada)
Please post only one or two OBEs per person so I can include as many different people as possible to help show how prevalent OBEs actually are.... pick your best most memorable OBEs.
Thanks, and look forward to reading them!
(If you wish to look Spirit-Quest's firts incarnation, it is a FREE e-book available on my site... link is in my sig.)
Hi Synergy, sent you PM.
Just wanted to add.... if you feel that you'd rather submit your OBE anonymously, feel free to send them to my PM box.
I have gotten a few already now, and all were by PM :)
Hi Synergy
Glad to hear you have had some responses. I would also like to throw one in for possible inclusion, but I'm just mulling over which one to choose. I'll be back... :-)

Hello again Synergy
I've found one I'm rather fond of... it seems to incorporate a traditional RTZ OBE and then goes into the astral via a picture on the wall.
Please feel free to edit it as you see fit. It was posted here a few years ago, but for some strange and unknown reason, it's been deleted... *cue twilight zone music*
Here it is...sorry about the length, but I wanted to incorporate the whole experience.
___________________________________________________________________________________
I didn't fall asleep, but was very close to it. I noticed the top half of my body was slowly moving backwards. Immediately, I knew this was my astral body and I "pushed" it so it would go faster. It did. I then thought that rather than push, I should go limp, so I did this, but I just went slower. I was obviously totally astral. I carried on pushing myself, but realised I wasn't actually going anywhere, except round in circles. So then I pushed my body upwards, and I started moving that way. It was very pleasant doing this pushing. I'd never done it before. It wasn't mental, but more of an energy push – hard to describe.
Next I thought I'd better get out. I got a bit tangled in all the bedclothes, which was a tad infuriating, but I managed it in the end! I noticed my sight was very dull in the bedroom, like a hazy black and white film (very hazy I might add). I quickly moved into the hall, where things were better.
Someone was in the hall with me. It was my Grandma Ellison. I wasn't surprised at this, nor did I really acknowledge it. I was preoccupied with finding an astral doorway to take much notice of her, although her presence was related to me, she wasn't just there doing her own thing. I took her with me to the front room. I didn't get any sound from her, but now I think that is because I was so mentally "noisy" and didn't give her a chance.
I couldn't see any obvious doorways, so I started circling with my finger again, then suddenly I remembered I wanted to go through one of our new pictures in the lounge. Off I trot to the lounge. I think Grandma gave up on me then, because I don't remember her after that. On my way to the lounge, I thought about my drawings, but realised they hadn't been put up on the wall yet, and then knew which pictures I was going in.
I stood in the lounge and moved forward into the picture on the left side. I could get my head in and everything changed. How on earth do I describe this? Soft, peaceful, different, very different from the physical world, but subtly and gently different. I found I couldn't go any further than my head, so I pulled my head out.
I seemed to bring the new world to the RTZ, because when I went to go into the other picture, it wasn't there on the wall, even though I knew it should be. I could just see softness, so I went into the space where the right hand picture was anyway.
I found myself looking at a beautiful, soft landscape. I keep using the word "soft" because there was nothing dramatic nor obvious about it. Just pastel hills, all different colours, rolling hills, no high peaks, nothing jagged. Someone was with me. She was female, young (my age), and told me (not via speech) that she would take me to our castle.
The next image is that we are riding on horses to get to this castle. I am naked and riding the horse, which is a wonderful feeling (not sexual, just very free). My horse is black, hers is brown. When we arrive at the castle, we dismount and my black horse turns into a black Doberman dog. I show a little fear as I wonder if it will turn and snap at me. As I think this, it looks like it is going to, so I turn quickly away.
The next image is I am in the castle looking out through one of the turrets at the landscape below. It is utterly peaceful, calm, pastel colours, rolling hills. My female friend is next to me and I know that we are lovers and have been in the castle now for many years. We are young (late teens?), and our lives are comfortable, in that we don't need to work. We never age. We just live in our castle, enjoying each other. I feel her come up behind me and hug me, her hands on my breasts. I do actually literally feel this, as in a lucid dream.
The next image is that we have just finished making love (of this part I don't recall), and 4 young men/boys have come to visit the castle. They have obviously heard us and when we open the door, they have grins all over their faces. At this point, I become a watcher, and see myself and my female lover for the first time. We are both young, lithe, very fit, both with cropped short hair, boyish looking. I look slightly more feminine. Both very attractive, pixie looking young girls. Both looking very happy.
The next image is one of destruction and war, although not directly near the castle. The effects of war. Everything is dark and depressing. My lover has caught some fever or disease (typhoid?) and needs medicine. We have a housekeeper, an older woman, and my lover is calling to her to get the medicine for her. I am still well and panicking, not knowing what to do. My lover has collapsed on the outside of the castle and I know that if she doesn't get her medicine, she will die. The housekeeper is walking away from us. I shout to her "where are you going". She tells me she has had enough and is going to join the war. I never get to see her face, she always has her back to me. She looks old and is wearing a shawl and bonnet.
Then, in physical life, the postman drops the letters through the door and I instantly fully regain waking consciousness.

Visualization of a very memorable experience during meditation practice early one morning last winter.
After feeling strong sensations of shooting upward, I lost all awareness of my body and found myself within a blue ocean like 3D void.
I then saw what I can only describe as being a yellow spark. I'm not sure if I was the yellow spark and looking at myself, or if I was observing something else in the blue void.
I choose this experience as a first in a series of illustrations because of the simplicity of the vision. This is as close as I can get it from memory, and I feel that it is a good representation of what I saw.

Thanks so much for the submissions everyone! The book is coming along really :) It's alot more work than I ever thought hough to get one ready for actual print lol.
I am interested in people's personal experiements that could shed some scientific light on the experience and ways to incude OBEs. I have included my own experiments with electromagnetic fields, and also my (not so scientific) experiment with an empath. Do any of you have any personal experiments? Maybe with sound waves, supplements, hypnosis, etc.
Dear Synergy
Here is one from me. Good luck with your book.
June 21 2006
Laid down on my left side, as I wanted to exit. That works best for me. After having drifted in and out of hypnotic imagery for some 20 min, I had to cough, and became very alert, as I was laying there quietly after having coughed, and then the vibrations started coming. Suddenly my whole body started to relax and I began to fall and suddenly I had astral sight. I decided to experiment and raised my right hand straight out of my body. It was amazing. With a sort of mental exertion I willed my body to stand up and as usual it worked and I got up easily. Everything was peaceful and calm around me. I decided to make sure I was in my room and followed my laid out procedure. There was a book on the table beside the bed on the front of it. It said something in Latin, "bacillum concillium" or something like it. I looked through the book but could not read it, think it was in Latin or something. I looked around, and I realized I was not in my own room.
There was a window at the left, a door across from it and also another door to the right of the bed. The window had no glass pane. The sun was shining through the window, it was beautiful. I went out the door and came into a small hall, took a right and found myself emerging into the street. It was a small street with a pedestrian walkway at each side. The feeling in this place was very peace full, and uncannily calm, not eerie or anything just calm. It was not the golden light that I have seen in other locations, but more a clear summer days feeling, but as soon as I stepped in the street the vibrations started and I got sucked back. As I got sucked back in my body I thought "well that was it" , I was a bit disappointed but very happy. I opened my eyes and looked around I was in my room for sure, then I laid back down and closed my eyes.
To my amazement the vibrations started right away again, I gained astral sight immediately, and stood up beside my bed again. I came out of my body with no break in consciousness and much to my surprise, I was in the same room. This time I decided to do something different, and went through the other door instead, and as I did I came into a small hallway. It looked somewhat like a pension, with a long hallway and rooms on either side. It led toward a glass door maybe 20m down. I wanted to have some fun, and started running toward the door and dove right through the glass into the street. I felt a ripple as I went through the glass pane, and bust into the middle of the street and as I did, I lifted my hands and started to praise God in a very strange song. I was singing all about praise to him and thanked him, I have absolutely no idea why I did that and no idea of what I was saying. The words just kept coming to me, while I was twirling, and rising slowly. Then I started to levitate faster and rose toward the sky, with my hands held up.
As I gained altitude I noticed a band, which was practicing on the balcony or the top of a building to my left. They saw me, and got very exited. I don't know why, but I had the feeling they were having some sort of service or meeting or something because they were all in white. As I flew above them they were looking at me excitedly and kept playing. Then the vibrations started slowly and I got sucked back again.
As I came back to my body I opened my eyes and looked around to make sure I was in my room. It was very exiting. I just laid real still and closed my eyes again and as I had hoped for, the vibrations came again after few seconds. Getting up was a cinch, and as I got up I looked around. The book was on the table, the doors and the window in place as well, I was back in the same room.
This time I went out the window. I just crawled out into the street, and went toward a small shop some 100 m down the street, on the right. It was a bakery, and there were lots of people going in and out. A girl was on her way out the door, with a white paper bag of bread in her hand, and as I approached her she looked straight at me and smiled, as if she realized who I was or why I was here. It surprised me. She was my height, reddish short hair, and she wore a dark trench coat or something that looked like a trench coat. She started to walk down the road, and I walked with her. As we walked quietly I asked her "Am I in heaven?" She smiled mysteriously and said "yes, but in this place, we all came here by our own hand". It was as if she communicated to me that everyone here was suicide victims. I asked her "does that mean that I am going to one day commit suicide. She turned toward me and smiled and said "no" with a big smile, I asked "Is there another place", she kept walking and started to talk excitedly, it was very mysterious. She said something like "oh yes in ra aum ....wow.... the things that are happening there are wonderfull", the impression was, that she had knowledge of a different location, and what was happening in this different location, but could not go there. It was like she was restricted, but knew about this place....Ra Aum or whatever.
As we walked down the road, it turned left and slightly down hill, and we passed a man in a black dune jacket, wearing a knitted black hat, and sun glasses. He was very surprised to see me, almost stunned. She did not look at me, it was as if she wanted him to go away or not talk to me at least. I wanted to talk more to her, but as soon as we had passed him, he turned and came back to us. He had pulled his hat down in his forehead, and his jacket up, so only his glasses were visible. He was very exited, and grabbed my arm and tugged at it, but I did not want to talk to him, but he was very insistent and kept tugging at me, as if he just had to talk to me and just would not let go, the tugging was not scary but irritating to me, and I started to feel my arm and was reminded of my body and immediately I started to have the vibrations. I knew I could not stay, and as I was being sucked backwards, I kept looking at the girl and she kept smiling at me. As they grew stronger she faded and was gone.
I was back in my body immediately and this time I did not want to go again. I got up to write my diary. I was so exited and happy. It was as if I was floating on a cloud, and coming back was a big let down. The feeling stayed with me for a few hours. A feeling of peace and assurance, as well as excitement. I felt like I had seen something wonderful and her face kept coming to me .
PS Her face kept coming to me for the next 3-4 days. I don't know how but many times a day I would see her standing there smiling cheerfully, with her beautiful eyes, red hair.
Hi again Synergy:
Here is the link to an alternate projection you can use for your book if you would like:
http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/welcome_to_obe_discussions/projection_that_may_be_a_profound_look_into_my_future-t17245.0.html
It's a validation, although not the one I wanted. :(

Hey Synergy!
Not sure if you have done you book yet or not, but here is one from me!
Astral (Future) Wind Experience!
It was just a normal astral projection after willing myself out of my body by disorientating myself.
I went out of my room and out the front door and started making my way down my street. All was normal until a force took hold of me. I could not go against the force. It slowly started drifting me backwards on an angle, and back through my house. It started to pick up more force and speed and started to take me higher into the air. What happened next, words are hard to describe.
I kept going up higher and kept going faster and faster and faster. Soon enough, I realised I was being ripped out of this atmosphere at what I can only describe as 'warp speed'. It felt incredible! As I was being whipped out of earth, I could see it disappear as I was too far away to see it. I was being carried through space at an amazing pace being flown past what I was desribe as dream pools. There were pools of events happening in pockets of space in the middle of nowhere (very hard to describe).
The force came to a sudden hault. It stopped me around 100m above a town. This town looked very systematic with most houses looking the same. The one thing that caught my eye, was that for every house, there was about 3 large poles next to them with what looked like solar panels on top. I was then brought back to my body.
I have had the exact same experience one other time. This time I was stopped outside a house at night and this house had its light on. I went inside the house to be in a lounge room. There was a stuffed bunny knitting a number on itselt (I think the number was 1868). When the bunny saw me, it looked shocked and stunned and stopped knitting. Then I noticed the TV was on, in black and white, with a
'big band playing'. I was then brought back to my body.
I only realised these were future winds after reading Roberts Bruces information on the net.
I still don't know what symbolism meant. Apparently it could take years for it to come. I will be extremely excited if one of these future winds shows signs in the future. For me, the astral wind was one more of a validation that astral projection is alot more than just some crazy dream for me.

First of all Hi to everyone, life has kept me busy with other matters for a while now. But I always come back to my inner self who is wanting OBE's as a natural thing... some day.
Here is my first OBE and also my only one because for some reason I did not try to do it more. I tried a lot when I was younger though, maybe it's to avoid disappointments.
It was when I still lived in Belgium in the year 1999. I came from my nightshift and did a little chatting when I came home around 6 30 at 8 30 went to sleep.
I found myself very quickly in a dream, faster then normal that's for sure. The difference was that I didn't lose my consciousness and was able to control my movements in the dream and was thinking rational as well. I realized that I was having a lucid dream and I knew that this was the moment to try to induce an OBE.
I climbed on a van that was involved in an accident in that dream and jumped off to get a falling effect. It was weird to find myself almost programed to and know what to do to get an astral projection!
The dream disappeared and everything around me was black like I was just laying there with my eyes closed. I didn't feel or hear anything nor my own body but I knew where I was and that I was still in my body. The thought of movement had an immediate reaction to it as if I was hanging loose. I decided then to roll out. As I rolled out I heard like a sucking sound at least something like that.
There I was floating next to my bed but I had to think of seeing to start to see my bedroom and yes there was the edge of my bed. Thought of movement was immediate action so I moved up a bit to see my bedroom which had like a slight misty view to it. All the object had like a bright grey metallic shine to them and as I observed everything I had this constant high pitched tone I could "hear". But the strangest was that I didn't recognize myself, my personality was gone, no thoughts, no doubts, no feelings at all. Just maybe a slight being home feeling. But I didn't feel like wow this is it lets go to watch the neighbours!
In fact I didn't feel the need to go anywhere! I then "wanted" to see my hands to see how I looked.
But this was a mistake I think because the thought of moving an astral limb like it would be a fiscal immediately triggered me back to my body. After all those years I tried in the past without success I sure wanted to hang out for a bit longer so I started to struggle but whatever I did the return could not be avoided. I felt like I was going trough the structure of the quilt I had on me a bit like I felt all the material which it was made of going trough me on a microscopic level! I heard that sucking sound again and then I knew I was back.
I didn't move at first, just opened my eyes and it was as if there was never been a change in my consciousness like I would have closed them and opened them a few minutes afterwards. I went over the experience like I read once in a book of Monroe you have to recall everything for your brain to remember it like happens with dreams, you forget it.
I watched the clock and only 10 min went by since I went to bed ?!
I felt very happy because this was definite proof that I would not just die and vanish. But also a bit sad because I could not recognize my personality when I was out as if I was a different being.
So who we are is all stored in our brain? Why are we here? I know that our soul is eternal but our ego?
Thanks so much guys these are all awesome! I have to admit for the last 4 months I was unable to work on this project as I am in the Canadian Navy and was away on deployment. I am back now though, and won't be sailing again until after Christmas, so I will be working again on the book (however I just got a new laptop and need office 2007 reinstalled grrrr) Anyway, will save all of these this weekend and get back into it :)
This was my first and also very spontaneous OBE.
I fell asleep on the couch after reading a chapter in "Holographic Universe" about OBE's. It started off the classic way, with intense vibrations. I just laid there thinking "float up, float up" and the next thing I knew I was floating up, face down and looking at myself on the couch. The room was dark but I could still see everything clearly.
As I floated at the ceiling, I thought to myself "How do move?". The first thing that came to mind was swimming so I started to move my arms like I was doing the breast stroke! As I did this I started to move. I swam over to a wall where there was normally a clock, but instead, I noticed a painting. It's funny because at the time it didn't seem to be out of place. I was very excited now and wanted to see if I could move through solid matter so I floated toward my bedroom and as I came to the wall, I went right through! As I passed through the wall I noticed the texture of the sheet rock and how it seemed to pull energy from me. I looked down and saw my wife sleeping on the bed and thought "Okay, what now? Let's go up!" I started to drift upward, through the ceiling, through the insulation in the attic. I could see the rafters just like they normally appeared. As I went through the roof, I looked out at the street and then poof, I was back in my body, but not for long!
Next thing I know I'm in a different location. This time it's broad daylight. I'm following a car from about 20 feet up and back doing the same breast stroke I was doing at my house. The scenery was beautiful! I notice a beach to my right, lined with palm trees and a bright, blue surf crashing against sugar white sand. To the left there is a small rise with a few shops that sell surf boards, bathing suits etc. Just as I start to really enjoy myself I'm back in the body. I just laid there and marveled at what had just happened! It was wonderful and exciting!
i have had out of body experiences.. But the most recent really suprised me because i was totally awake i was sitting watching tv and felt myself moving through space. Quite exhilarating..Once i was half asleep and i was looking over a large body of water but... looking mostly at the inlet and all the greenery trees and no sign of and people there..no habitation of people.. I have a lot of out of body .. as i remember them i will jot down and send the rest to you.
Wow....nice to see so many replies. I am currently 48 years old. I have not had an OBE in about ten years with a couplr rare exceptions, This was after having them almost nightly from age 14-37. For me this is a blessing. For I am one of the unfortunatel people who entrained myself to respond to the sensations and experiences with fear. At first as a youngster I did not tell anyone. It was during the 70's, and I smokedd pot, etc... got in trouble at school. And was afraid that the counselors I had to see, etc... would interpret these experiences as psychotic, etc... They began with what seemed at to be a light swirling around my head when I was laying down ready for sleep. Then as the light moved faster it would begin to pulse up and down my body. An electrical feeling hum would begin in my ears and I would become paralyzed. I was sure I was dying or something on another plane of existense was trying to get me. So I began sleeping downstairs on the couch. Because my bedroom was upsatirs in a refinished attic.
Anyhow. That is all I feel like posting for now. Later I worked with a scholar who was working with Bob Monroe and learned much.
Maitri
was asleep in the early am, I remember hearing my host getting ready for work then leaving and locking the front door. Somewhere between wanting to go back to sleep and actually being asleep, I became suddenly aware that I was no longer alone in the house. I opened my eyes just in time to see a dark figure pull back into the hall from the view of my door. I panicked and sat up. As i sat up, It felt as if I had passed through a tight film. I looked down at the pillow and saw my body lying there asleep. I realized that when I had opened my eyes and saw the entity, I had actually opened my astral body's eyes, not my real eyes.
I wanted to wake myself up, so I layed back down and started to rock back and forth, passing in and out of my body throught that thick, tight film. The instant I layed back down, I was struck with fear and panicked again when the entity came back into the room. I sat up again, noticing that when I separated from my body, the fear vanished and I felt completely at peace and in control, then the entity would retreated back into the hall. I layed back down again and tried to shake myself awake, This process repeated itself 3 or 4 times until the entity got so close I jumped right up out of the bed and my body.
I expanded to about 3 times my normal size, same shape. My view was from closer to the cieling, my arms and legs were longer, hands larger, over all, bigger. My vision was a sight so perfect, It cannot be described, I could hear the steps of insects, and the sound of the breeze on individual blades of grass.
I followed the entity down the hall, while saying things like, I am of the light, If you are not, you must leave, there is no darkness here, there is no negativity here, we have no drains for positive energy, light and love to leak out, You can choose to be of the light or you must not be here. My voice did not generate from my throat and come out of my mouth, It came forth from all around me, as far as infinity can reach and manifested through me.
I followed the entity around the living room and we ended up at the front door. I actually unlocked and opened the door. The knob felt small in my huge hand. As I openned the door, the entity passed through and I closed the door behind it.
I stood there and contemplated the fact that I had just opened a door without my body. Then, I remembered my body.
I went back into the room and stood beside the bed. I looked down at this little defensless creature and thought "what an incredible machine" What a gift...then I thought, no, the gift is the life I live in that little biological computer. Then I thought, no..
THE GIFT IS HAVING HAD THE CHOICE
The choice to choose this life, the free will to BE. anything anywhere anytime!!!!
I thought about all the options I could choose at that moment, to be someone else, something else, somewhere else, to create something altogether new and go there and experience it in anyway I chose!
I thought about the pain I would cause when my family discovered I had died in my sleep at 28. I thought about the family I had always wanted and had not had yet, I thought about that one spaecial person I would find someday to have all of that with...
I chose again. I chose to finish what I had started. i knew there was infinite time to choose again later, when I was done here.
I chose to remember everything about that experience, as it changed me forever. I chose to know the instant I laid eyes on my soul mate that I would Know it was him. I chose to live the ultimate life I came here to have, with every breath, Live.
As I sat on the bed and started to lay back down, I thought about how uncomfortable it was to be crammed into such a small place, but I knew I would not be aware of that when it happened.
I layed down, passed throught the film and I was completely awake and aware in real time.
* there was no differentiation whatsoever from my obe sight to my physical body's sight. no blink, no instant between one and the other. they were one and the same, there was no interuption of sight at all.
I had just read here recently about other people's "tricks" to getting OBEs. So just last night i was thinking about it before i went to bed, wondering if dinner would keep me grounded, and it would happen in the morning, like it usually does.
so this morning, i was dreaming (i always know when it's a dream, always.) i came to a door that i could not open. i was very aware of the feel of the carpet and pressure under my feet.(this seemed important)then i remembered what i had read here about realizing you are in a dream and wanting to go further and have an OBE. zoom! I was up in the stars!
then i remembered the post about the gal that went to "help" someone and thought that would be a good thing to do, and thought to ask for a guide, then i remembered about the porthole and grids and graphics people see...poof the stars became a digital white and black squares pattern (not a checker board) a digital pattern. then the white squares moved into a multi-armed spiral formation.
i flowed it into the center and it became a white tree, branches, trunk, roots into the ground...all white, no leaves, same black background. I have travelled down tree roots before,(real ones) so looked for a gap in the ground next to a root, found one, then backed out and felt pressure on the bottom of my feet.
I realized i was lying on my bed, the pressure on my feet again, and i could hear the air conditioner, and feel the pillow beside me in my hand. i did not want to wake up so i thought of my husband, who is away for 2 weeks, and I found myself in a military area, I saw my husband put up an antenna, he gave me a vaccuum out of a little blue car, gave me a young leutenant to assist me and off we went to suck up a "neg" into the vaccuum. ...found neg, assistant failed to plug in vaccuum in time, chase neg... assistant freezes up and i am back in dreamland...feeling the pillow and pressure on the feet(feet pressure is something i'm sure i only noticed after reading about it on the posts) i have never noticed it so much before. and i know i am back in my bed...and awake.
i think it very cool that, even though i have not had an experience in MONTHS, i was able to conciously incorporate the things I've learned here, at will.
the point of all of this...what few posts i have made, and read, i am still learning new things, and this experience proved, again, that i believe what i have seen, and the advice i have given is based only on my own experiences...and in believing in the infinate possibilities opens the door to experiencing them...so which comes first? seeing or believing? they are sooooo close!
no sooner do i think or say something, and it happens...always. A.
my first obe's were spontaneous...but there was a backwards spinning sensation that started in my head, and if i didn't fight it, pop, i was out. also, a sound, like waves of vibration passing over and around my head. I could actually feel the sound and vibrations as a rolling pressure as it passed my ears and head in the same path as the spinning. from front to back. almost like passing through tunnels just big enough for my head to fit through. vwoosh, vwoosh, vwoosh...
so, when i would have these sensations, i would not try to think...about what why etc...just go with it.
a lot of people talk about fear stopping them. i find that the fear is only attached to the ego. to your human body that want to protect itself from losing you. it is a built in alarm to stop these things from happening naturally. the fear stays with your body, so when you go out, it stops immediatedly. you may be confused and concerned at first, but you will get over that very quickly, because if your first thought, once out, is to be back in, guess what, you will be. so all that work for nothing. good luck, A.
my BIG OBE: i normally expand to a larger form of my human body to begin with. it is not visible, even to myself, but i can "see" my hands and legs etc. It is more of an awareness of them that a physical sight. then, when i choose to become something, take another form, etc. i shift to what ever i chose and appear to be real and phisical in that form. but, the actual astral body in it's original form, just out of body, for me, is a clear, larger virsion of a human shape...or perhaps, that is the "form" it just was, so i see myself as that before i change...
another interesting experience, in a hotel room in vegas, 24 hours after the second sacred ceremony, (not sure if that had anything to do with it) but i was sitting on the bed, reading...had a thought about astral projection and in the same instant, i was engulfed in clouds and swirls of colors, lights, music...it was all very beautiful, was that my real astral body? I could still see the room through the lights and colors,it lasted about 3 minutes. then, it all stopped as it had started, it seamed to generate from and return within me. A.
this did happen to me a couple of different ways, first, the time loss thing, freaked me out, i could not believe i did it, so dangerous! second, i actually expanded right out of my body while i was driving and i had my mom and her boss in the car with me. I was going south on the I-5 in san diego, california. I got the backwards head spin and pop i was looking from above the roof of the car. no kidding, i was still in the same spot, the driver's seat, but was out of my body completely, and expanded to 3 times my human size. I always expand when i'm out. so there i was driving down the 5 with people in the car and i was looking at the freeway in front of me from over the roof of the car. I asked if anyone thought there was something strange going on, they said no, why? I said, because i am above the car. they told me i had better pull over, that i had been driving too long and should definately pull over right now.
i realized this was dangerous, and i could not see the inside of the car unless i really strained, then i think i was just remembering where things were, not really seeing the interior. I got a little scared that i did this while driving and wanted to be back in, and pop, i was. i pulled over and let my mom drive. A.
the first time i was 14 or 15 years old. It was spontanious. I had stayed home from school, i had no energy, thought i was sick, heard the phone ring, got up and headed down the hall. very suddenly, i got very dizzy and turned around to go back to bed, just made it in time to fall backwards on the bed and (major spinning) POP i was up in the corner if the cieling looking down at myself on the bed. my first thought was to be back in my body and i was wide awake and back in my body.
this happened a number of times, les and less with the lethargic warning.
the last one was ultimately the culmination of my life's experience in these things. about 5 years ago. at a friend's house in vancouver after snow baording for 2 weeks. (very meditative) I was alone in the house, sleeping in the am about 7ish. suddenly aware of a presence.
it entered the room and i "saw" it with my astral body's eyes. (my body was still asleep). as soon as i opened my "eyes" it backed out of the room. I was trying to sit up to defend myself, but i could not move. i could only rock back and forth on my side. I could feel my astral body pulling in and out of my body as i rocked. like going through a thick film, clingy, tight. It came in again,
I have to go for an hour or two, but i will be right back to finnish this...anyone checking in, you'll want to read the rest of this, I know it's my experience, and it means the deapths of creation to me, but it's a great one!!!!!
I've never shared this one until now...
I OBE'ed and was standing in front of the dresser looking in the mirror. i could not see my astral body reflected in the mirror, but did see my physical body lying on the bed. i turned and went to the bed and sat down beside myself. I wondered what it would be like to give myself a kiss, so i bent down and kissed my physical body on the lips with my astral body's lips. It felt very much like a real kiss. it was amazing. It was sweet.
I'm not sure how to post things on a web site, so here it goes. I believe this is an OBE I had as a 6 or 7 year old child. It also involved my Grandmother OBE.
TWO PERSON OBE
I got up one night, seeing my grandmother at the door to my room holding a glass of orange juice and calling me to her it. It was the middle of the night so I thought it was a little unusual, even though she took care of us during the day while my mother and father were at work.
I got out of bed and, on my way to where my grandmother awaited me at the bedroom door, walked past the beds of my older and younger brothers whom I saw fast asleep on their respective beds. I was barefoot so I could feel the coldness of the polished granite floor on my bare feet. I slowly walked to my grandmother and took the glass of orange juice from her. I could see the rich orange color of the juice and the condensation on the glass. I drank the juice and could taste its cold sweetness and feel the pieces of pulp which my grandmother liked to leave in the juice. (It was the best tasting orange juice I can remember!) I handed her back the glass and turned around to walk back to bed when I noticed there was someone on my bed. I slowly walked back to my bed to see who it was. I was not really scared, just puzzled. When I got right next to my bed I saw myself, asleep on the bed, with my face turned away from me. I could see that my eyes were closed and that I was asleep, with my short brown hair tumbling over my cheek. I go to touch me and suddenly I find myself back in bed, my mind wide awake, but my body paralized, unable to open my eyes, and then I drifted back in to sleep.
The next morning I asked my mother if my grandmother had come over the night but she didn't know what I was talking about. I asked my grandmother but she dismissed my question and I never got an answer. I had never heard about OBE's and that was not anything that was publicized at the time. I really had no idea what it was. There were none of the usual distortions of dreams. Everything was in its place and looked exactly as it did during the day only now it was night. The unusual thing was that there must have been some kind of light, as I could see in the dark and it seems my grandmother was lit from above, as if by a small unseen spotlight.
What was this, reallY?
Were we both out of body?

Levitational Guidance of my Energy Body from Astral Entities:
One time at the age of 15 (roughly in the year of 1983), when my energy body was already spontaneously separated from my physical body, I astrally awakened to find myself levitating above my bed, aimlessly out of control, much like an astronaut floating around in space or in a simulated NASA weightlessness environment might feel. The astral planes seem to have different gravity environments as otherwise compared to our material plane in this context.
Suddenly, a series of gentle hands from perhaps a half dozen invisible entities steadied my torso and limbs. They were guiding me how to levitationally balance with purposeful direction, instead of simply allowing me to float wildly out of control. I didn't feel threatened by this outside intervention, but instead felt like I literally had guiding hands made available to me. I reasoned that if outside entities were willing to lend assistance in my astral endeavors, then the experiences must have some inherent value that I was not fully aware of. I became pleasantly excited that my pursuit of astral consciousness was progressing in a greater universal context.

My most memorable obe was my first. And the one that got me interested in astral projection! It was about four years ago at the age of 20 and i didnt know what obe was! I had at this time been into other occult activeties, ouija boards etc.. (This was also when I was smoking pot) anyway; it had been about a week since I had smoked. I went to bed. I felt relaxed and felt heavy, this was not unusual! the next thing that happened was i felt a pulsating energy surge throughout my entire body! i started to experience propertion changes and felt "high" even though i was not. these were all new sensations, but not threatening. Then i started to feel a spin, it was a light spin at first and then all at the same time, without warning the energy and spinning increased 1000xtimes then it happend! I flung out of my body like a projectile out of a slingshot, right out the window of my room, and then down toward the cold pavement. I did not know i was out of body, I thought I had a seizure and just jumped out the window. the second before i was about to hit the ground i had enough time to think this exact thought "ohh **** I just killed myself " then i felt like i was flying. Went back through my window and was thrown back into myself with about the same speed I was thrown out with! my body jerked wildly and i felt an electrocution, like the feeling of a static shock, only 100xtimes more intense. I sat up breathing heavily, shaking, and sweating! I was completely freaked out by this experience and was afraid to go to bed for some time after that! then i realised i wasn't dead. read up on near death experiences; which lead me to learning what spontaneous astral projection is! I concluded thats what it was. And ive been hooked on the idea of AP. ever since. this was my most memorable obe, also my first, and most frightening! it only lasted about 8 seconds, but in chaos thats a long time! i still don't know why it happend, but since then i have been trying to obe, and have made partial separation! floating about an inch above my body, for a second or two, then back in!
I hadnt had an OOBE for a long while, i used to get them spontaniously when i was laying in bed at about the age of 6 and then later when i was 16 i decided to try inducing an OOBE and it took so long to make it happen. Then one evening after i had been laying motionless for about 5 hours straight my whole body numb and weightless i decided it was time to catch some sleep. It was strange because it was so unexpected but just as i was about to drift off, i suddenly became alert. My heart started to beat insanely with an adrenaline rush and and my astral eyes opened wide. My eyelids in reality were shut, which was new to me because when i was little i was always awake with my eyes open when it happened. I started to exit my body but it was strange because instead of rising up towards the ceiling, i started to feel as if the bed was moving forward at an insane speed and i felt like i was gonna go flying off the back of it! i grabbed at the covers and unfortunately i was so excited that i was finally experienceing it again that my body jerked itself back to reality. As i opened my eyes i was laying there just as i had been before when i was drifting off to sleep. Iwas laying on my front with a pocket of herbs clutched in one hand and my head laying on the other. I was completlely aware of everything when it started to happen,and i wasnt atall sleepy despite having meditated for 5 hours before hand in a dark room! all of my OOBE's have been not very 'real' in the way that i dont see things like some people see and they swear they where happening in real life at the time and i can only think of one that was like that but i was so young i wouldnt like to count on me remembering it right. I have also been floating around and hallucinating things in my room at the same time that i know definately werent real cos flowers dont grow out of carpets! (and no i dont take acid or any other drug!) if anyone knows anything about hallucinations or have experienced unrealistic things like this please let me know! x x x pixie steph x x x
One of best flying experiences was over a coastal town.
It started from inside a house, then passing through a wall to the outside where I explored a neighborhood flying just above the roof tops.
Then progressed to a higher altitude where I could see a long stretch of coast line. Along the coast and extending from the shoreline was a water texture that I made a mental note of being unusual and interesting. The fun part was seeing how fast I could go.
Recently I've been getting photos from a camera mounted to a kite surfing wing.
Now I'm seeing the exact white foam textures that I saw in the flying experience last year. Here's one of the recent pics.

When I was about 6 years old, I was visiting a family friend in the country and was sleeping on the couch in the living room late one night when I felt the couch begin to move. It was slowly scooting around the room in little jerks. I could see my position in the room was changing. I was scared and kept trying to close my eyes and make it go away. Eventually it stopped and I fell asleep, but the next night, it started again.
By the second night, I decided to figure out what was going on. The couch from my perspective was now in the middle of the room instead of against the wall. I screwed up my courage and lept from the couch. I was afraid the couch might run me over as it moved, but it seemed to stay in place now. I kept peeking back at it to make sure. The room was dark and I was disoriented but by moonlight through the windows, I was able to make my way towards a wall and struggled to remember where the light switch was. I was trembling in fear and reaching my hand tremulously towards the wall when suddenly all the lights came on! I must have jumped a mile high with fear!
I turned and there where a wall used to be was now a room! The room was familar except that I knew it belonged elsewhere in the house, not there where there used to be the wall that was the edge of the house with bushes behind it. There was no door to this room. Instead, the space was open between my room and the out of place room, such that I could see directly in to where a woman was on a bed and reaching out after having just turned on a lamp. The lamp was causing the light.
The woman was one of the house residents and she was now demanding to know why I was up in the middle of the night. In answer, I began to stammer questions about why there was a room in the middle of a wall. She then asked me why I was spouting nonsense and told me this room had always been there. I began to argue with her that no it was not! She informed me that was ridiculous and I better pipe down, go eat some breakfast and get back to sleep before I got in trouble. Since this was a farming area, they often ate breakfast very early before dawn. At this point, I was both scared and angry that she was denying the obvious fact that a room had moved into a wall, but I obeyed because I was a child. I sat at the dinner table and she made me some eggs. I ate them and then she sent me to sleep back on my couch which was now back along the wall and the weird room was now gone from the other wall. But I still felt extremely disoriented. I felt I would never sleep after such an scary event, but I fell asleep almost instantly.
In the morning, I still argued that things had been moving, but the adults said simply that I had a bad dream. Years later, when I asked about the event, the adults told me that I had wandered into a back room and was standing in the doorway when the lady sleeping in the room turned on the lights, thus scaring her near to death. To me, I had never left the main living room but her room had somehow moved to me. I wonder now if it was a case of my astral body going one way and my physical self going another and then not rejoining right away, such that I was seeing from two location perspectives at once. My brain might have just cobbled together the two varying perspectives, thus combining one part of the house with another in order to try to process them in a way I could understand.

Hi,
I will appreciate if you help me find my way back to the path. Some days earlier I used to reach at some extent while Astral Trvelling, I could sense my Astral body and so many other things, I could go deeper in my sense but since last few days things has been changed. I can not concentrate and usually fall asleep while trying for Astral travel. Can you help me out such a dillemic situation.
I really don't know if you could call this an OOBE. But once when I was little, I was sleeping and at the same time, I felt as if I was wide awake and in the hall. A little later, I felt as if I was everywhere, but particularly in the hall, watching my mother speak and open the hall door. I still feel weird when I think of it. Of course, I woke up a little later, but I really don't know if this is an OOBE or just a dream.
srry i know its long but this is my records/journal since i started OBE
IM NEW to astral projecting. just learned this existed like 2 weeks ago. tried it a few times the first day n a few time after but nothin happened. i read on it, did more research on it and looked up techniques. finally i decided to try the one that you wake up in the morning round (5am 6am). i had better luck with this one last week the reason i think this works best (for me itleast) is because im not as exhausted becuase i got some rest already but yet your still sleepy and its easy to go back to sleep, so your mind is quiet and relaxed. i usually always wake up in the middle of the night once or in the early morning so this became easy if not you can put an alarm clock for 5 am and ur gon wake but ur gon want to go right back to sleep this is why its easy. i take advantage and when im awake i simply say to myself "MY BODY WILL FALL ASLEEP BUT MY MIND WILL STAY AWAKE" to myself as i close my eyes and feel im close to falling asleep and relax, just let go, concentrate on the blackness i see with my eyes closed or just stare @ one spot (3rd eye) with my eyes closed. when im in this stage its much easier than to try n force yourself to relax or to sleep and astral., NOW BELOW ARE MY FIRST TWO ACTUAL ATTEMPTS THAT WERE ALMOST SUCCESSFUL IN DETAIL MAYBE SOMEONE CAN HELP OR COMPARE AND MAYBE ITLL HELP FELLOW BEGINNERS.+ AND I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS FOR THOSE ADVANCED PROJECTORS at THE END.
*FIRST ATTEMPT:
LAST WEEK SEPT 24TH I WOKE UP AT 6:30AM, I HAD TRIED TO DO IT BEFORE GOING TO SLEEP THE NIGHT BEFORE BUT NOTHING. I DECIDED TO SAY MY BODY WILL FALL ASLEEP BUT MY MIND WILL STAY AWAKE AND GIVE THE MORNING TECHNIQUE A TRY...I FELL ASLEEP...FEW MOMENTS LATER I FELT LIKE I HAD REAWAKENED TO MY BODY VIBRATING. AS SOON AS I FELT THIS AS IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I GOT SCARED AND EXCITED and thought to myself :"HOLY excrement IS WORKING". I FELT A CHILL GO THROUGH MY BODY AND THEN THE VIBRATION STOPPED, I WOKE AND WAS BACK TO NORMAL. I think cus I GOT cus i got SCARED AND THATS WHY IT STOPPED. MADE SURE TO KEEP RECORD OF THIS AND WENT BACK TO SLEEP (also i noticed that this whole feeling was familiar and i had remembered getting it when i was a kid once or twice.)
**SECOND ATTEMPT:
THIS WAS OCT 2ND SAT MORNING @ 5:00AM I woke up to my alarm. I I LAID STRAIGHT WITH MY HANDS TO MY SIDES AND CLOSED MY EYES. I SAID TO MYSELF "I AM GOING TO ASTRAL PROJECT, MY BODY WILL FALL ASLEEP BUT MY MIND WILL STAY AWAKE. . my eyes are still closed and i start to feel my body vibratin. then as it continues i can feel my bed vibrating as well(the trick at this point is to try to induce vibrations(make it more) and not get too excited but try to stay concentrated (no expert im a beginner but im learning alot through trial and error). , . and have no fear def! SO ANYWAY THIS TIME I DONT GET SCARED RIGHT AWAY LIKE THE FIRST TIME SO I TRY TO FOLLOW WHAT I READ AND MAKE IT MORE, AS I WAS DOING THIS IT ALMOST FELT LIKE I FLOATED A BIT OFF THE BED JUST A BIT I COULDNT REALLY TELL MUCH BUT I GOT THAT ELEVATOR FEELING. AS I FELT THIS I STARTED TO HEAR A WEIRD SOUND I COULDNT TELL WHAT IT IS LIKE A HISSING CRACKING STATICKY SOUND AND SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS COMING FROM EITHER OUTSIDE OR THE BACK OF MY HEAD (WINDOWS BEHING MY BED/HEAD)+THIS SOUND KINDA SCARED ME AND MADE ME LOSE CONCENTRATIONS
***THIRD ATTEMPT.
THIS THIRD ATTEMPT WAS RIGHT AFTER I REAWAKEN FROM THE ^^^ SECOND ATTEMPT. I DECIDED TO GIVE IT ANOTHER TRY. I CLOSED MY EYES AGAIN AND A FEW MINUTES LATER I FELT MYSELF VIBRATING AGAIN. THIS TIME I WANTED TO TRY AND CONTROL THE FLOATING FEELING AND NOT GET SCARED RIGHT AWAY. THE REST WAS REALLY WEIRD AND I HAVENT TRIED AGAIN (I WILL TONIGHT) TO GET ANY FURTHER. I FELT THAT FLOATING FEELING COMING SO I TRIED WITH MY MIND TO MAKE ME GET UP, IT FELT LIKE I ROLLED OVER TO THE RIGHT, NOW I SLEEP CLOSE TO THE EDGE OF THE BED SO I WAS SURPRISED WHEN I WAS SPOSE TO FALL OR HIT THE BED SINCE I ROLLED TO THE RIGHT I WOULD OF HIT THE FLOOR BUT I DIDNT. I FELT LIKE I WAS FALLING BUT I JUST KEPT FALLING AND NEVER HIT THE FLOOR. NOW SINCE I KEPT FEELING LIKE I WAS JUST FALLING MY MIND MADE SENSE OF THIS AND I FIGURED IM NOT FALLING I MUST BE FLOATING. I COULDNT SEE ANYTHING JUST GREY ALL AROUND AND I WAS SCARED TO OPEN MY EYES. I!!! FELT LIKE I WAS FLOATING BUT AT FIRST MY IMAGINATION GOT THE HOLD OF ME AND SINCE I READ YOU CAN GO THRU THINGS I SAID TO MYSELF "if i havent hit the floor yet then maybe i fell through the floor" AT THIS MOMENT I GOT SCARED THINKING I WAS FLOATING SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN THE FLOOR. OF COURSE THIS WAS JUST FEAR GET and imagination GEtTING THE BEST OF ME. I CALLED MYSELF BACK TO MY BODY AND I REAWAKENED AND TOOK RECORD OF IT SO I WOULDNT FORGET.
I HAD NO CLUE WHAT HAPPENED AT FIRST I JUST MADE SENSE OF IT LATER WHEN I WENT OVER WHAT I HAD WRITTEN DOWN. SINCE I NEVER OPENED MY EYES AND HAVE YET TO SUCCESFULLY OPEN MY EYES. i wasnt sure where i had floated. ALL I KNOW IS THE FLOATING FEELING WAS CONSTANT NOT LIKE THE SECOND attempt WHERE IT FELT LIKE I HAD DONE A 180 DEGREE TURN IN THE AIR AND WAS FACING DOWN the whole time!
************************************
:|Attempt #4- OCT 14TH 2010 after trying over and over I am unable to get to the point that I got last time, I cant even get the vibrations going. The only thing I can say was close to an obe and I could tell it wasn't it was just a Lucid Dream (this I can accomplish easily used to do it a lot when I was a kid). Anyway the lucid dream I had was of me having an obe. I remember I came out of my body and I started floating and flew up like superman would until I went through the roof of my house and then stopped in midair looked down at my house and thought I cant be going all the way up there especially if this is really an obe I should stay near my house, and then I woke up. Maybe it was maybe it wasn't but im gon say it wasn't that it was just a lucid dream which I was in control of, since I never went back down or saw myself coming down I think it was a dream. (in a obe you can come down or land or descend ive read but in a dream supposedly if you would jump you would go up but youd never see yourself coming back down ud either stay up or wake up you wouldn't see yourself land) why? Well because when you jump in the real world you think JUMP and you do it, your mind tells your body to and it happens but you never think "OK COME BACK DOWN OR LAND" when coming down because these are things that the law of gravity does for us therefore we never have to think it to accomplish it it just is. This is how you can tell if your dreaming jump up and see if you come back down. Since I didn't or couldn't, i just woke it wasn't an OBE but a dream/lucid.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
OK SO AFTER LOOKING INTO A BIT AND TAKING SOME OF YOUR ADVICES AND THINGS IVE READ AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH...I FINALLY HAD MY FIRST Out Of Body Experience. FIRST OFFICIAL OBE!!! since im using this as my journal its a bit detailed but maybe the details n my observations can help fellow beginners on what feels hopeless sometimes to succesfully having an OBE. Sorry for the long post.
since that last attempt i had where i felt myself floating on oct 5th i had no luck on any other attempts. i tried almost every single night in the middle of the night when i woke up and before i would go to bed and in the morning when i would wake up. i felt like i had a block id get real frustrated trying and my mind would end up wandering into random thoughts i couldnt concentrate. october 16 i got frustrated to the point wher i said fuk it i give up. however my curiousity gets the best of me and i cant help but to keep on going on this website and reading about it etc. i decided ill just take a break since i had techniques overload in my brain and since i wouldnt focus on one n had no luck id get frustrated and just go to sleep. i even tried music binaural beats etc. techniques i havent tried and no luck.
****ATTEMPT # 5 OCT. 19TH
:after 3 days without trying or even thinking about astral projecting i decided to give it another try. i woke up oct 19th round 4 sumthin A.M. I was extra comfortable cus I got my new bed which is much bigger than my twin bed so I didn't feel any fear of me rolling out and having what happened on attempt #4(me rollin out to the side since the bed is small instead of rollin over to the side and "falling off" and hittin the floor it felt like I must have floated right thru it since I never landed etc etc. and was just floating blindly in what I believed to be under the floor+freaked me out)
I decided I wouldn't be afraid which Is always my honestly first thought when I wake up in the middle of the night to start trying. I rolled over and laid flat on the bed with my arms by my side and decided to go back to sleep. Closed my eyes, I started to repeat to myself 'SUB-conscious mind stay awake, sub-conscious mind stay awake'. I felt like I fell asleep and I remember also thinking and saying to myself "I command myself to enter THETA" once I was more in trance or further/deeper asleep. I never know how much time passes by between my last thought and my reawakening to the vibrations etc. but theres always a moment of blackness or sleep you could say inbetween where I know im not conscious. When I do manage to reawaken or keep awake my mind after my body falls asleep is whats key for me to have an OBE ive learned. If I do at this stage reawaken or become conscious its to the vibrations. When im too tired I usually just stay asleep and wake up in the morning with no luck.
Anyway so I became fully conscious a lil bit later and what I felt this time wasn't vibrations but my shoulder moving. But it wasn't moving it felt like something was under it and like there was another shoulder poppin out. My first thought was something was either coming in or getting out. Unfortunately, fear, my biggest obstacle/enemy made me think maybe it's a demon possessing me. I did a quick prayer as I got scared. It started to go away and then I quickly realized what was actually going on and also thought "wait a minute if its to God im praying to and have asked for help/protection than it cant be nothing bad, just let go and trust". So I decided to trust and just let go of all dumb thoughts/fear that were going through my mind and my own conclusions of what was going on at the moment.
Soon as I let go and cleared my mind I felt the whole shoulder thing coming back and stronger. The feeling was this; Like when you move one shoulder up and down but my physical shoulder was staying still and my astral body shoulder was the one moving up and down (like when you say "I dunno" and shrug ur shoulders). The more I tried to induce it too it got weaker but the more I cleared my mind and didn't try to control it just let it be it got stronger and I knew it was my shoulder coming out and was fully aware that I was bout to have a OBE. I kept thinking "higher, higher, higher" until I felt my entire body floating out starting from my head shoulders and down. I started to feel myself floating up. The window is right behind my head and I was facing it but since I was bout a foot higher up then where my physical head actually ended I was hittin the window and even got a glimpse of outside. (like I was going through it). This kinda scared me a bit cus I didn't want to float up with half my body inside my room and my head outside.
I remember trying to maneuver my body to float up but to move back towards the room. I then kinda did a180 degree turn so that I was facin the opposite side of the room from the window and towards the door instead. I started floatin towards the ceiling as I was thinking "ascend". I started going up like I was about to stand straight up in the air mainly my top part of the body and then my lower part of my body started to ascend too.
Eventually I was high up and I was floating and staring down @ my room as if I was lookin down from the ceiling and things were kinda hazy but I was surprised how I was so conscious of this. I was surprised at how easy it was to control my astral body too especially compared to the crazy freaky uncontrollable floating from my previous attempt. This time it felt more like the way you control a airplane for example in a video game but instead of using a controller I just used my thoughts, Id think ascend and instantly It would listen.
Once I was all the way up I decided to think "descend" and floated back down towards the floor. I softly landed and actually felt my feet on the floor and it even felt a bit chilly under my feet like it would in real life. I thought wow I finally did it this is it, it feels so much realer than a regular or lucid dream. The whole time I was trying to just be observant and alert without getting too excited or fearful tho. When I came down I was gonna start walking towards my door when my dog came and jumped up to greet me like she would normally do if I ever get off the bed. I was surprised but wasn't scared or anything I remember just thinking this must be her astral body. I could feel my presence behind me as I took a step away from the bed and towards the door, although I never looked back at me or down towards my body when I was floating as I think itd be weird to see my body there sleeping and me out of it and I didn't want anything that might scare me and end the experience.
As I looked at my dog I noticed she looked like ghostly type almost see through but glowin a bit like there was a lightbulb inside her and I could sense this light to be energy. I could sense the same thing coming from me although I never looked at myself just a glimpse when she jumpred on me and I told her to get down. Then as I looked around everything was just like my regular room except I saw a small black figure ontop of my t.v. It was a small chihuaha dog. I thought to myself "what is this dog doing here in my room"? (I had seen this dog earlier that night on my way home at a gas station on the roof of a car and thought wat the heck is it doin there and though the same thing when I saw him ontop of my tv.). I didn't get scared either. I thought that since I had seen my dog here, that made me think dog, which led to the most recent memory of a dog I had which was that one from earlier and it appeared there.<I think maybe one of you can help me wit this I found it weird.
From the research ive done I know that the astral is sensitive to your thoughts emotions and imagination. Maybe that's why it was there but anyway I ignored it the dog nd started to walk towards my living room. I walked up to the doorway looked at it real quick but then thought this is whole nother room what if theres something else here not a dog but another being or sumthing weird. I started to fear a little bit and decided to turn around. As I turned I heard a noise in the living room.
i was thinking its my first time and I feel like im gon meet another presence and if there wasn't there is now because I keep thinking bout it. Im still very inexperienced and barely even know how to have full "control" here so I figured it was too early to be meeting anyone or going outside the house. Need some more experiences and exploring to do. I said maybe its time to go back (felt like 5 mins tops that I was out) I was walking towards the bed when I saw something behind me like 3 men dressed in white(like the way the romans did in toga style robes). I could see them in the mirror behind me like I was looking at the mirror but I was turned around walking towards my body. Soon as I saw this I found this superweird but decided to ignore it and also thought maybe this is why they say that its not good to stay out too long, cus your imagination starts to get the best of you. I closed my eyes called myself back and I awoke in my bed. When I woke up I was so excited that I couldn't go back to sleep. It was 4:49 when I woke up. I watched tv nd stayed awake all the way til it was time to leave the house @ 9 am but not before quickly getting a pen and paper and writing all this down before id forget anything.
That's it for attempt # 5
Attempt #6 coming tonight hopefully I got the hang of it and can do it again. Next things I wanna do is look at my hand or sumthing and see if it melts. I want to leave the house and fly towards the sky. im also almost ready to meet another being. i want to visit my family in ny (im in miami) and verify things ihave seen to make sure i was actually AP
