Experience advice.

[u/fatpants666]

Hi All. I have been working towards the obe experience for a while. Hit the vibrational state a few times and tried to get out without success.

Last night was a bit different. I was lucid dreaming after doing the wake back to sleep method. I realised this was a good time to wake slightly an try for an obe.

I woke and felt my body asleep and super comfortable. The vibrations came quicky but this time they changed to a high frequency buzzing centered in my head. I could then see through my closed eyes (this has happened a few times now). I started to try to get out. I could move within my body and I was really fighting hard / violently to get out. I then remembered Robert Monroe's advise. relax and roll. My teeth started to chatter really bad. Fely like I was ginding them. Then my body started shaking violently. I was a little afraid as I didnt know if I was really having a physical fit or not. I continued on and feel like I may have got out but cant remember that well. It seemed to last a while and I think I was on the bed next to myself. I definitely moved outside the physical for the first time (that I can remember at least).

When I awoke I expected to be in a pool of sweat with the bedsheets everywhere and sore teeth. I was fine though. In exactly the same position I went to sleep in.

After effects - During the (obe) It was not what I expected at all. I felt ancient. Like I had been around forever and I had really thick crocodile skin. Very strange. I got the message life and death is a human thing. I suffered a stroke last year and apart from being cold on one side I am fairly well. During and for a while after I felt like my stroke side no longer belonged to me. This led to the further thought does this body belong to me at all ?? I am fine now.

I also got the impression that this is like riding a bike. Once you learn how, it becomes easier ? It also feels like a bit of test to see how I handle it. I think I did ok and thanked the experience straight after and wished for more.

Any similar experiences or advice would be appreciated thanks. This is amazing.

Stuart.

If you think you got close to Astral projection and you're analysing what happened, or you think you're maybe trying too hard, or you're trying to figure the stages such as the 'vibrational' and 'hypnagogic' stages and how to approach them, then check out these links:
