Was this a obe??...or just a dream

[Great_One101]

Hello everyone well im new to this forum and just wanted to look for answers.

Well i been studying OBE's about for 5 months i have little knowledge on the topic. While i was asleep yesterday i was at a dreaming state, then i encounter myself laying on my bed.  Everything seem so real, the items on the right place, everything i stare on my toes then i try to wake up but i coulnd't. Then i was freaked out i try to talk but it wouldn't let me it was like this powerful force. I try to move still no reaction, Suddenly i lifted up my feet then i awoken. I felt so restless and in the same time so relaxed.

Now my question is was this a OBE??

It seems like an OBE, but it looks like you missed the exit process. The force wich didnt let you move could be a reflection of sleep paralisis because being near your body. You cant move because your brain motor functions are not active, and you are still trying to move with them. You will have to use your imagintive functions to move, not your motor ones.
In astral plane you are no more a phisical organism, but your mind is still working as if you were in the phisical plane (its an habit). This will cause you too wake up, for you will be estimulating your motor functions. Use your belly botom to move, try to feel movement with it. The secret of OBE navegation is: Dont try to make things happen like in ordinary life, just let them happen. Dont think on moving, just move. Its an intuitive state that you will comprehend once you experienced it.

Try to go away of your body and you will find much easier to move, talk, fly, etc..

Well, I have to say also, that your experience could have been only a dream, a dream in wich you see your own body. The only way to disern this is that when having OBE you are very lucid and conscious about what its happening, and you have a sensation that everything is VERY REAL.

                          Congratulations if it was an OBE, wich I think it was.

I forgot to ask, did you saw your own body laying on your bed, or all the experience happened while laying on your bed? You were out of your body right?

I was laying on my bed when all this happen so it must of been a OBE. The reason i didn't focus on coming out of my body was because i was freaked that i couldn't talk or even move.

Then its seems more like a "sleep paralisis", not an OBE. You awaked in your phiscal body insetad of in your astral body, wich was already projected. Did you felt any vibrations? Read in Astral Dynamics the explanation for sleep paralisis. If you experience thesse paralisis again, just let it be, focus on your toe as you did, and when your astral energy comes back and you can move, try to project again your self out with some technick. Repeat the technike until you fall asleep. You may hear also weird sounds, voices, and negative things, dont pay atention to them. Its like when changing from one radio frecuency to another, you can catch other stuff in between.

I've had something sort of like that happen to me too...I'm sleeping, then the next thing I know, I feel totally awake, and my body is vibrating like crazy, and my heart is racing, and I think "oh man, could this be what I think it is?" and then I try to exit, but then just wake up instead.

Hello folks.

Ok, I'll start with the first time I thought I was having an OBE that I can remember clear enough to give any measure of detail.  It was early morning and I was laying in my bed trying to sleep.  So I am drifting into sleep and I don't remember if there were any vibrations or not, but I suddenly burst out of my body and through the roof of my house and whenI looked down I got a half arsed representation of my house and yard, only certain things were different.  But it was all first person.  So then I fall asleep and come to again in an instance, starting over.  I float out of my body and go over to my parents house across the street, but I had no control over what I was doing.  I bang on the window and look into the cat dish, then I am back in my body.  So the next thing that happens is I see a point of light, very well defined, and then the view shifts into a sort of microscope kind of deal.  Then there is an eclipse of the point and a humanoid bulbasaur starts groovin to this crazy song beside a cauldron.  And there was something else but I dont' remember.  Now THIS instance I do not believe was a projection, but it may involve a certain level of the astral.  Perhaps this fabled "mental' plane.

Anyway, a couple of nights ago I was laying in bed trying to sleep, early morning.  So I am drifting off into sleep and suddenly there is a sensation in the back of my head and a terrible noise.  The noise was moving very fast, so this must be the vibrations, and it sounded like "derdeederdeedeedededederrderrde" or something like that, very fast, and I got images of sheets of light.  Then I found myself in a sort of 'dark future' of my home town, in a certain room that I knew was the porch add on of this future.  I open my eyes and see objects on shelves and I float down and touch the floor, but I was moving very slowly and the control was different than in real life.  I look around, and see the way to the kitchen, but when I tried to move in that direction I couldn't and started over from the original point on one of the shelves.  So I see a flat window on the roof and I grab a sealer jar and hit the window with it, trying to get out, and I remember thinking, "What if I wake somebody up with all this noise?"  The sensation was extrememly real, but the window didn't shatter, it just came off and I screwed around with it and the jar and put it out on the roof.  When I tried to get out of the window it was too small, so I tried going through feet first.  I caught a glimpse of what awaited me on the  roof, the house had been redesigned and I knew that there were doves or white birds and brown birds feathers all over the place, a sitting area and a stage where the bell tower would be.  Then I start over from a different location back in the house.

At this point I tried to walk through the house, but I was moving so slowly, trying to walk like I would in real life.  Maybe that's why, but you gotta remember that I am stalked and haunted by a psychic, a psychic that has precognition as he had demonstrated to me in times past.  Anyway, I catch a glimpse of how the house is set up and I think to myself, "This looks like my poor dad's doing!  Everything is a mess!" keys hanging on coat hooks and lots of coats hanging on the hooks.  I thought, "This must be one of those alternate realities that I've been searching for."  And bare in mind that all the while there is that crazy vibrational static chiming and frenzied noise that it was.  So then I think to myself, "Maybe now is the time to get rid of that psychic!  Energy charge!" and suddenly the vibrations spread across my physical body and I am back in my room at my house but there is a picture much like the microscopic view of the other entity thing. And here I get a picture of Mega Man like from X2 and as I concentrate on building enough energy and releasing bits of it at the same time the picture of Mega turns into like what he does on the game, and he is surrounded by a sphere of power and every time he draws energy, which was about ten times a second based on my will power, as I was directing the energy, his body shines with this aura of power.

So then I mess around a bit getting out of my body, feet first then the rest, opened my eyes and such and seen my room, which by the way was how it looked when I woke, light through the window wise, and it was dark when I went to sleep.  And then it gets weaker and harder to look around, and I find that loss of control coming on again as I start drifting from my body which I couldn't see because it wouldn't let me, and I start going back into the familar darkness in my shelves like some of the other times.  Then I wake up and notice that there are still vibrations in my left side of the guts, but I can't hear them any more.  And I also noticed that like most of the other times my hands were spread out beside my head, a position that I do not, in fact never sleep in.

So I guess that was my first real projection, but it could be a illusionary programming that the psychic is feeding me to keep me thinking that I have any power or hope at all to regain my privacy and true power.
