I've found my "sweet spot" even when I'm dog tired I can now have oob or lucid dreams with much more control :) yesterday I napped and began getting pulsing vibes and a wewwoooomppp.....wooomp...womp..womp, womp sound in my ears and then the sound of a finger snapping beside my right ear. Found myself looking at my work car and decided to just drive. Came upon a toll booth which does not exist in the physical at this destination. All the scenery was the same minus the toll booth and the people. I got out of the car and talked with a woman who was taking tolls and wound up talking her into letting me go through freely and she obliged. Pulled into the gas station which was for some reason hosting a party of sorts. No one familiar there but all very happy and pleasant. Began talking with a few of the ladies lol and then just mingled a bit until a guy named roy or rory talked to me. He had to have been at least eight ft tall and very broad. I told him I knew this was a dream but that he was also real and i said i'm just trying to get a grip on this whole non physical reality, dreams, aping and stuff and he said ahhh you've got the hang of it for now just go deeper, in fact wake up and do it again later. Buzzzing all over loud crashing sound and i found myself on the floor beside my physical body apprx six ft away. Very blurred vision but there was someone else behind me but i couldn't make out the details of the being. Very uncomfortable feeling and then i woke up. Really long experience with the drive, the booth, and the party, and then a thirty second or so with the blurriness and buzzing. Best estimate in np experience lasted about 4 hours but in physical time 12 minutes. :) so exciting !!!
Wow Newoldsoul.... That was a really vivid and significant experience with full interaction with souls in the non-physical. Congrats.!
Well done,
I too recognise the sounds that appear before an outing. After honing in on these it's possible to have an exit, if tired, within a min or two. It rarely goes over 10 mins from starting. It's something that works for you so it may be worthwhile experimenting with a routine where your amount of sleep can be adjusted to suit the time of day you wish to exit.
The physical world noises interfere which is annoying at times and these can't easily be ignored at the start.
Nice experiences too.
