OBE Fear

[syrus]

This is the first time I have posted to a forum regarding my OBE's and I hope to get some advise

While practice a particular OBE technique, pulling myself out of my body by a rope attached to the ceiling, I had a couple of weird experiences.

The first night I tried the technique, I went through my usual relaxation routine and then started visualizing leaving my body.  Apparently, I lost consciousness along the way, but it could not have been longer that a minute or 2 (I time all my OBE experiences).  The next thing I remember, I was standing in a black trench coat (I dont own a trench coat) in front of an elevator.  The elevator doors opened and I stepped inside.  Why I went inside I dont know.  It just seemed like the thing to do at the time    The entire scene was very dark and hard to make things out.  The elevator started to go slowly down.  The lower it went the more fear emotion I began to feel.  This was a fear I cant describe very well with words.  I have never felt fear like this.  It was POWERFUL!  I quickly tried to exit the experience because I felt out of control.  I set up on the side of the bed still feeling this powerful fear.  I was crying and slobbering all over myself..hehe    But, the weird thing was I have no idea what I was fearing.  It was a fear for no reason that I could say.  It was just 100% raw fear..high grade even.

The next day, I had some time and felt the urge to explore. I relaxed and went through my routine.  It was a typical walking through the house OBE.  I stuck my hand through the floor just to be sure I was out.  I made a few observations of my astral body for my notebook.  I cruised through my house for a bit and the OBE lasted about 2-3 minutes.  No problems no worries...just good clean fun.

Any ideas wht what wrong on the fear episode?

Thanks in advance,
