the weirdest thing!

well i'm not experienced, but i know exactly what you're talking about. I think the most important part of this, and i think you knew it, was to actually be feeling the textures of your surroundings. I've used a variation of that technique in a successful WILD i had a couple weeks ago. I saw a very vivid image of a book and so I decided to reach out and grab it, and next thing i knew, i was in the dream. I think tonight I'm gonna use it as an OBE technique, if i get good results, i'll share my experience. So sorry i wasnt much help, just wanted to say i know what you're talking about.

Lysear,
           Sounds to me as though you incorporated several of the alternate  techniques for OBE induction found in Astral Dynamics.  I believe Robert touches upon techniques other authors live by such as attempting to roll out of your body or have your awareness spin around the room. One book I read 3 years ago said that all you had to do was constantly imagining yourself standing up out of your body while in a trance. Although I have to say it didn't work for me until AD made it all real for me.  Sounds to me as though you were close to the conscious projection. Personally I'd say to continue using that technique and see where it gets you, it may be that you have a knack for projecting that way.

Good Luck!

I think i have learnt another important lesson since waking up this morning, If i ws in a hypnogogic state I think I would have exited. this is the biggest barrier to my projection now. I still cant believe it! the feeling was great and I wasnt scared about the exit sensations, i kept trying !!

Ok I will start from the begining. baring in mind its 1 in the morning here now!! I was just laying down in bed, frustrated at ot being able to sleep. Decided to take an imaginary walk round my house, I imagined objects, especially textures, i was touching everything, walls guitar etc. Then after about 5 minutes at most I got short of breath. I then got a rush of adrenelin to my chest and my heart or heart chakra beat fearsly. I felt like I was comming lose from my body! got light headed!! thought I was going to do it!!! but no. got a lot from this night!

1)a new technique for me which I highly recomend!!
2)almost a guarantee that all this astral malarky is real! (most importantly!!)
3)I am extremely excited!! so as a result cant get to sleep again!!


            Anyone else had this before? could some experienced member help explain what just happened?
