exactly. the whole key to controling your lucid's is to BELIEVE you can control them, and EXPECT what you wish to happen as if it were already so. the thing is, people try to do this in an OBE before they realize it is in fact an OBE and then when it doesn't work they chalk it up to just a lack of belief/ability. sometimes people don't even realize they are out of body until they see something happening and find out the next morning at that time the thing they saw actually occured (i.e. they see a friend playing a specific level of a game and then going to bed...they see or talk to their friend the next day and say "i had a dream last night that you were..." and the friend says "thats creepy...i was at that same time you had that dream!") this was actually an OBE.

kjarva, i don't know who Robert A. Monroe is...but a good book to read on the subject is "Astral Dynamics" by Robert Bruce. thisis where i get most of my information from, although i do pull from variuous other sources as well. not to be"advertising", as i have never met the man and don't work for the publisher (i'm only 17 lol) but this is the best book on AP and OBEs i've ever read. it tells you everything you need to know about OBEs, energy bodies and their roles, and even a little bit on LDs. definitely a good read, and very informative. =] btw, i like your profile picture. =P
