Hmm, first OOBE?

Beyond Dreaming
1

Well last night I read up about OOBEs and I decided I would try and do it. The method I was using was to stay alert and awake and try to fall asleep. Then, when you are in a certain state of mind (similar to sleep parylisis) try to spring from your body. Well I was laying in bed (I get Insomnia) and I tried to go to sleep.

I said in my head, “I am going to have an out of body experience. I must concentrate.” over and over. Eventually I had this wierd sensation all over my body, like sort of buzzing or vibrating. I tried to move my limbs but they were stuck, I couldnt move. I tried to jump out of my body, knowing this should happen. I tried and tried but nothing happened. I sighed inside my head and let my concentration go. A split second something boom goes in my head and I awaken from the parylisis with a jolt.

I cursed at myself. Then I tried again. Only this time something wierd happened. I cannot remember exactly but I can remember standing upright on my bed in my projected body with my physical body at my feet then falling back into my physical body waking with another jolt. It was so funny, I was viewing it third person. Almost like a dream except i was awak and fully alert (no not lucid dream).

Any ideas on what i should do next time?

keep trying. This is very good for a first attempt.
Getting the vibrations is the hard part. If you’ve already managed to disconnect, it shouldn’t be too hard for you to do so again

wow! that is sooooooo cool! i need to try this— well i did attempt before and almost, i think, got it, but the fear does not let me do it. But in my Ld last month i was almost gonna do it but did not happen— i hope it does soon! It is cool how u did not get scared ! i am used to having ppl around me always so that kind of scares me—the UNKNOWN :bored:

I know, the unkown nerves me too. But having the fear will only prevent you from having OBEs.
That is AWESOME for a first attempt. I’ve tried maaaaany times. Nothing that close to an actual OBE has ever happenned to moi. I think my fear is keeping me back! Actually I Know it is. I seem to have issues towards holding my fear AND excitement. Weird isn’t it? I am really afraid of actually having one, but when it starts happen, I get really excited too. :neutral:
