THE OBE EXPERIENCE

I want to share the first OBE experience that I had about six years ago. I need to do research on the subject in order to make my book accuate.

I had read a lot of things online about the process and was very excited about trying it out. I'd tried to experience an OBE without being asleep but my concentration level was not strong enough. I just couldn't focus. Either I would get an itch or I would hear a noise in the room that would make me become totally aware of what was around me.

I'd read in a book that Lucid Dreaming could help one get an OBE. The trick was to look at your wrist (and if a watch was on it, look at that) keep checking it throughout the day to get yourself used to the motion of lifting your arm an looking at your wrist watch. In the dream world you'll do the same movements out of muscle memory. In the dream world nothing is constant. So, by looking at your watch, if it says 11:44 and you look away for a second, then look back the time will read 5:01 (example, of course). This is to remind you that you are dreaming.

LUCID DREAM- Basically are when you know you are having a dream, while you are dreaming. These are not that easy to come by. Someone when I know I'm dreaming it is hard to get out of it. And when you are dreaming and can hear everything that is going on around you in the room, you are not having a lucid dream.

While in my LUCID DREAM I just so happened to look at my watch on my arm. I forgot what time it said. I know the watch was red. I put my arm down, then quickly picked it back up and looked at the watch. It was different! OMG I am lucid dreaming. At that moment I mentally said, "ASTRAL PROJECT!"

I felt these wierd vibrations engolf me. You know how you'll get the shivers for a second. Well, this feeling sweeps over your entire body. I heard a loud WHOOSH! noise and shivered upward. I BEGAN TO PANIC. OH MY GOD, I did it, I thought. I looked around and it was slightly hard to see. It was like I was not seeing with my two human/physical eyes but with my entire head.

The first decision I made was to walk over towards the door. After struggling a moment to get myself from off of the bed, I tried walked towards my bedroom door. The closer I got to the door, the harder it was for me to walk. I begin to sink into the floor. It was frustrating me! I just couldn't move. It was getting harder and harder. Then, I blanked out. I woke up about two hours later (in my physical body). It was the most crazy thing that every happened to me.

The second experience was kinda like the first, except that time I tried to OBE without LUCID DREAMING. I couldn't concentrate and started to fall asleep. I think I went too deep into sleep, but I woke up slightly and mentally told myself, "ASTRAL PROJECT!" I felt the familiar shivers and heard the WHOOSH sound while vibrating out of my physical body. After a few moments of looking around, I lost conscienceness and didn't wake up until some time later.

I have not tried to do it since then and I guess after all those years I am ready to try again. I'll let you know what happens after I try. Until then, Love, Peace and Empathy.
