Turning a lucid dream into a OBE.

[1inazillionmillion]

Hiya Everyone, I am new here..so please be kind. Hope this is the place to post. I have had about 4 OBE'S so far. Not yesterday night but the night before I feel asleep and and I began to see images (hallunications), I found the a bit unpleasant, so I told myself to wake up. I find that whenever I tell myself to wake up when I don't realise I am projecting, it gives me full consciousness. I found myself upside down (the way I was lying in bed) floating past the end of my bed. I realised that I was then having an OBE so I told myself to float up and then float back down again. I then turned around the right way and then saw me and my partner in the bed. I decided then to go back to my body and get back in, (as I am a bit inexperienced as yet). I did kick myself afterwards, as I always do that I didn't try to do more whilst out of my body.

Does anyone else experience sort of lucid dreaing, that they can turn into a projection?
Thanks for any advice and it nice to meet everyone here.

I've tried doing this a few times and I have my doubts about the ability to do turn a lucid dream into a projection.  During my dream, I will imagine myself as my astral self, and I will find myself floating above my body in what appears to be a astral body, however, it still has the same dream feeling to it, so in retrospective, I was dreaming about astral projecting, which obviously isn't actually an OBE.  If this is possible it would be a very interesting experiment to perform, however.

well im very positive its its possible.

That's an interesting read, most definitely.  Dreams, lucid and non-lucid, always seem to have fogginess to them and aren't ever 100% clear as how OBE's are sometimes explained.  But, tonight, I'll lucid dream something simple and see if I can't try the clarity now technique and report what happens in the A.M.

Well, here is what happened.  I programmed myself to have a lucid dream of myself standing in an open field.  Unfortunately, I wasn't able to have the dream I wanted and ended up becoming lucid in another dream of mine, oh well.  I wasn't 100% lucid in the dream, but I was enough to somewhat remember what I was supposed to do.  I tried the clarity now technique, and I found myself back at my body.  I figured I had waken myself up, but when I opened my eyes, I could tell I was just having a false awaking. 

The experiment:  Attempt the "clarity now" technique to change a lucid dream into a OBE.

Result:  I experienced a shift in the dream and had a false awakening. No OBE, just a lucid dream leading to another lucid dream.

Try to become aware of your physical body while lucid dreaming, this is very difficult to do and it may just wake you up. But if you succeed you may have an obe.

1inazamillion that obe sounded wild. Im so jealous too!!

I really want to crack this OBE thing. I cant seem to do it yet, but i have a feeling its coming soon!

Thanks everyone, you are a really lovely lot here arent you. I have never purposely done this. It just happens. I have these vivid dreams sometimes unpleasant images etc and just like you would when you have a bad dream your sub-conscious tells you to wake up. I wake up to being conscious in an obe. It is a great way to do it, now I just have to get my confidence up to travel around.

I have been guided by a spirit guide before and taken to the moon and what I think was a past life but that was much easier because they took me and guided me. It is much harder to do alone.
