First Experience In Months!

[Magickist]

Hey well,

I've been experienced in astral projection for a long time, but for the past few months I haven't really made an effort to have an experience. Last night I finally decided I wanted to try projecting again because I was going to teach a certain person things about the astral (though I didn't really know where to meet him)

Well anyway, I did my usual routine before going to bed, lay down, relax for about ten minutes, then listen to some slow rock/classic music by L'arc~en~ciel. After I did this (which took about an hour) I attempted to astral project through phasing. Well I lied on my stomach, closed my eyes, and stared at them for a few seconds. It was about a minute into this that I started noticing a few light blue areas (and my bonking LOUD clock TICKING) and started getting annoyed by my insanely loud clock that I barely started to notice ticks loud as heck! Well this irritated me and caused me to open my eyes. I was bummed out that I had to quit once already and I decided I would just go to sleep and hope to have a lucid dream.

I started realizing the dream I was having what I presume to be about four hours after I fell to sleep. I had to go to school so I didn't have time to write it down so I've forgotten a lot of it. Okay, all I can really remember is me being in some small fortress-like building, climbing down, and floating into a dark gray cave, then waking up. When I awoke I was laying there with my mind very clear which was a miracle for me (when I usually wake up my mind is usually flooded with thoughts). The first thing that popped in my head was to try to phase, so I turned onto my left side and started focusing on the back of my eyelids. About 20-50 seconds later a blinding white light veiled my sight accompanied by the common loud buzzing noise. What's weird is after this instead of separating from my body I got the vibrations, which I'd say were about normal speed. After this I was thinking holy... what the heck just happened, since when does it only take a few seconds for me to get into the vibrational state?! Right after I thought this I heard somebody up walking through the house going into the hallway. I tried to ignore this and escape with my usual technique - the roll-out. I tried doing it and once I had attempted it all that came out were my shoulders and upper arms and I realized, "Darn! I'm on my side this time, this wont work!" and I started trying to think of something else, but then I heard the shower on and my heater turn on also which knocked me out of the trance state 

Well, once again I feel screwed by my family, it's almost as if they know I'm trying to project and trying to stop it. Anyway, I'm just happy I had this experience and am able to share it with you guys. Thanks for reading, bye.

P.S. This is for someone that's having trouble with swallowing saliva during attempting to project: When I was in the vibrational state I swallowed some out of excitement and I just ignored it and avoided thinking of my body. All you have to do is just let your subconscious mind do it for you.

Ah, thanks for the saliva tip. Swallowing always is a problem for me, but I can't very well just drool all over the place, can I? I heard that drinking water and stuff low in salt (instead of soft drinks) helps a lot too.

I'd prefer drooling all over the place to losing a chance at an OBE, but the swallowing thing comes natural to me when I get excited or something and I can't help it.
