MajorTom,

I was never really afraid of him.  When I had my first OBE, I went through the fear during exit thing.  After that, I'm not afraid of anything. [] In that first OBE I was standing in the bedroom, and he jumped on my wife who was lying in bed.  I just grabbed him and wadded him up like a dirty shirt and threw him away. In another OBE, I was dreaming and saw him.  I became immediately aware that it was an OBE.  I believe the part in Astral Dynamics that we sometimes miss the exit. I kind of miss the little fellow.  I may try to find him in my next OBE.

Hi Dream Cadet,

Welcome to the Astral Pulse forums! [] That's a good book by Robert Peterson. There are also online books in our File Library that you may want to take a look at too. Again welcome, and looking forward to your participation.


Very best,

Hi All,

I have been lurking here for a while and have finally decided to jump in.  I fell into OBEs totally by accident. I could remember lucid dreaming when I was a kid and started researching on the web when my daughter was having serious problems sleeping. Later, I stumbled on to the on-line book by Robert Peterson and read it in three sittings out of curiosity.  On the third night I went to bed and out of no where it happened.  I wasn't even trying.[] That was in September.  I have now had nine OBEs to date.  Only one has been concious and all but one have been pretty short.  So far I am only able to project to the real-time zone as described in Astral Dynamics.

Now to my question..

During several of my OBEs there was this little shadow man.  he was about 2 feet tall and totally black.  He wore a fedora hat and had no noticable features.  The best way to describe him is an animated 2 dimentional black cartoon. In one of my OBE's, I confronted him and asked him who he was and what his intentions were. He ran away and I haven't seen him since.  I later read about the small monkey-like creatures in Astral Dynamics and I wonder if any of you have ever seen these little guys and what their intentions were?

And Lastly,

Thanks for providing a forum where a person can go to discuss "events"[?] of this nature.  When I tell my wife about these things, I get the old "hmmm,that's nice dear" response.
