OBE: Is this right?

Beyond Dreaming
1

Well I got a bit interested in the idea earlier. About 10 minutes ago (as in I got up 10 minutes ago) I just lied in bed for a while and listened to the ringing in my ears. After about five minutes of this my eyes started twitching and I felt a feeling in my body. Not like a buzzing feeling, since I’ve felt what’s described as an OBE before (search my posts, it was the first time trying to LD, I DILD’d on my first try due to doing something strange and everything went white… meh just search my posts).

I’ve forgotten what the sound sounded like now, but I kept doing it and the ringing sound got louder, like I said with the feeling I mentioned, not the OBE feeling, just a sort of fearful feeling. It only lasts a few seconds and makes it harder to breath. But I kept doing that and about 7 minutes in I heard a sound, just like binaural beats sound like. It startled me and I suddenly got worried I was going to see a giant oger or something in SP so I just opened my eyes, and here I am!

But yeah, I’m asking if that’s the right way to do it before I try again. I was so afraid of the idea of having a bad SP experience or going into the OBE and seeing something really strange that I left the light on, the laptops light when in bios wasn’t enough!

FYI: I don’t think OBEs, etc are spiritual in any way. Just doesn’t make sense. That’s why I’m interested in trying it, so if I see it for myself I can believe it. It’s just people said my first LD was actually an OBE induced from a dream, I just don’t believe that the SAN ANDREAS WORLD exists somewhere! As a result of that, no matter what I see I doubt I’ll believe it, but meh, feel free to post something that can prove it once I’m in the state if you like, I’d love it to be something more than just a mental state, since I don’t believe in anything :slight_smile:

I don’t believe in spiritual things either, so in my opinion OBE’s are just vivid lucid dreams with a scenario of being outside your body. Moreover they are achieved just as normal lucid dreams - by WILD, therefore they are probably the same thing. However, it’s still a nice feeling to be out of your body (even in a dream). You don’t have to believe it to enjoy it :smile:.

during an LD i have complete control and can do anything and . fly away from fear… during my OBES i go straight from SP to an OBE by floating out of my body… i feel a switch and all i do is float slowly straight upwards… always in my room , until i hit the ceiling, i have no control… i have had some control before where i slowly floated out my window and the beauitful colors of the green grass where much more vivid than any of my LD… point is…LD full control… OBE … almsot zero control and i just float… some people cant even float in a LD if they try!! but everysingle time i go from SP to OBE … im immedlty floating upward withouth thinking about anything and i just keep floating up like a balloon… like my spirit is being raised out of my body… ive expreinced OBE and LD alot as well as way to much SP… and i can say… theres def, something spiritual going on
