Noob Question

[Vanille]

I've heard those times when you kind of violently shake awake from sleep is actually your astral body returning to your physical body. True?

If it's true, then I have another question. Say you have never consciously had an OBE, but you hope to one day have one. In the meantime, you do have those sudden jerks while in bed. That would mean you were actually astrally traveling. Say you can finally be in control when you have them - is it possible to run into entities that already know you from previous APs? If so, how does that get reconciled? Do you remember the entity and memories?

 The violent shaking could occur before or after the actual OBE. I have read that you have to let it subside before attempting a projection.
People Astral Travel every night, it's just they don't retain the memory. This even happens during a conscious exit if you stay out too long. It is difficult to control the experience at first. It's better to just observe and learn the ropes per say. I have no idea whether you would remember the entities, unless you wrote about them when you came back. But, it is so hard to go to the same area again. It seems like every destination is different, well at least it is for me.

I get the jerks and the violent shaking quite often. It's definitely OBE related. One annoying thing that happens to me is I will violently twitch while meditating and it gets old after a while. xD
