STILL getting there

Another night and I decided to practice projecting before I go to sleep.

So I decided to start it. It felt wierd. I was tired, but I didn't fall asleep even though my eyes were closed. I must have been doin this for an hour and a half, because I felt tired this morning. It didn't feel like an hour and a half, it felt like ten minutes, but I know it was way more time than that.

I'm meditating and I see nothing with my eyes closed, just black nothingness. After a long while something really wierd happened. My eyes moved straight forward, and as soon as it did, a blast of different colors appeared. I didn't even make my eyes move forward, it's like they did that themselves. Like someone took my eyeballs and literally made them look forward. I was soo confused but unfortunately I didn't try to get up because I just watched a scary movie and I was kinda scared hah.

But I'm getting soooo close! I can feel it

Sounds like you switched to third eye vision... that'd give the illusion of suddenly looking forward when really you're just changing your metaphysical vantage point. You are in fact close.

*squeal* I'm excited. I've been practicing a lot and I think it's finally paying off! Can't wait.

Hello
I am new to this but i Just wanted to share my experience and get some feed back from other if hey have had similar experiences or have any comments about my OBE. I have always been curious about astral projection and upon leaning what it was I tried several times to do it. I was never really successfull. However last night before I went to bed I had a brief thought that I wanted to astral project a few minutes later I went to to sleep. I must have been asleep for hours when my step dad came in from work (we works night shift and get back around 2 in the morning) so anyway I never physically woke up but conciously I could hear noise that he was making upstairs. It sounded like he was watching a movie. So anyway I remember thinking that I wish he would turn it off then all of a sudden i realized i could see but my eyes were not physically open. I then realized that my body was asleep but conciously I was awake and instantlly without even thinking about it I felt like I was floating.

I immediately tried to sit up but I was still floating. I saw a doll that was cshaped like a baby float towards my face. I was so scared and I remember thinkng omg im astral projecting! So I tried to scream at the doll and tell it to get away but no sound would escape my lips it just sounded like air as I tried to talk.So I thought in my head"Get away!" and the doll dissapeared. I got out of my bed and felt like I was floating i was scared to look back at my bed but did so anyway and saw a lump sdunderneath the sheets which i Knew was me and i was petrified. i floated into my living room and remember feeling scared but somehow full of love and peace. I walked inf

(sorry continuation to last post)

Basically i floated in my living room and I looked in my mirror and my image was distorted. Kinda how it would look if you looked in the funny mirrors that make your body swiggly. I got freaked out and thought i want to go back to my body and I woke up

Yeah it sounds like you had an O.B.E. Last night I think I had one but was too afraid to get up.

Yes, third eye vision... but possibly hypnagogic as well. But, these things are pretty related in my opinion. Hopefully your third eye stays open for prolonged periods of time, it really helps for meditation and projection.

I can't help but snicker at how petrified you were, but i'm also impressed by the fact that your fear didn't just shoot you back into your body right away.... good work.... You might have felt scared, but it seems you have some control over it, which is great, because you need that ability to advance. Scared or not, I bet you thought that was a pretty real experience... Eye-opening, if anything. Happy for you. If this was your first OBE, and you were able to control your movement enough to get into another room, instead of floating around randomly, I am also double impressed.

I'm going to try again tonight. I always think to myself, if I could do this effectively at will, I would forget all the problems I have now and just float every night for the time we lose when we sleep. I hate wasting time and this would solve that.
