What is the best time to OBE?

[schulzy175]

I always try to OBE when i go to bed at night and i am somewhat tired. When is it best to try to OBE? During the day? At night? Tired or fully awake? In the light or dark? Silent or some very little noise? Warm or cold temp? Clothing or no clothing (not naked)? In a bed or on the floor? There are probably more, but these are the ones i can remember.

I've tried many different ways. The one way that works consistent for me is to break up my sleep in the middle of the night. Some refer to this as the "wake back to bed" method. Essentially you want to sleep for 5-7 hours and then wake up. Stay awake for about a half hour. Read/think about OBEs/lucid dreams or meditate during this time. Then simply go back to bed. I like to play this mp3 while I am falling back asleep, but I don't think it's necessary. It's called Amazon Rainforest by Anton Hughes and it is full of calm nature sounds. As you are falling asleep repeat affirmations, practice some breathing exercises, or do your usual pre-OBE technique. Using this method I have had about a 50% success rate of achieving an OBE/lucid dream.

schulzy175,

The best time depends on a few factors. I did and still persist on documenting in a tracking database using excel as my template. For three years, when I was documenting my times that my OBEs occurred Sun-Sat, what I ate, how much sleep the day before, leading up to the experience. It is all valuable information. Many people who start out projecting go about this at random, aimlessly and wondering if and when the next experience will occur. Well, if you do what I did, document times, dates, stats you will paint a clear picture of when those best days, times are.

Good Luck,

yes and no - I have had many experiences hours after awakening, mostly from cat naps which produce the best results for me personally..

clothing, positioning, hot/cold, noises, geographic location - it does not matter period. I have projected in my car, airplane, in the hospital, upside down, different weather climates, longitude / latitude did not make any difference.
believe it - i even tried going to sleep with a pyramid on my third eye thinking I would project.... of course this was 20 some years ago..: )

it all comes down to having an iron will, determination, goal setting, patience, and training like you are going to run a marathon everyday.... like anything in life, it all comes down to is educating yourself, learning, and taking the time out to make it happen. figuring out what works for you.... learn, breath it, live it, build your world around it 24/7....

thats what it takes to project! - obsessed I am "yes" and have the quality and success over all these years. - its a beautiful gift to release from the physical body and fly......

all the best,

Hey David,

How was it to project out of an airplane? Did you go right to a nonphysical local or was there a sort of RTZ on the plane?
Looking forward to the book btw.

[David Warner]

I was in the geographical location of the airplane.. Was able to go outside the plane trailing behind a few yards then snapped back in...

There have been other times while riding in the car, I would drift and find myself leaning up against the glass then falling through it into the road then being slammed back in the body of freight. Thinking that I was physically falling outside the moving car but come to find those false awakenings tricked me again!!
