WHOA....first time OBE

[DreamFantasy]

so it happend last night. i was laying on the bed and can see the ceiling, but i KNEW my eyes were closed. A book slowly fell from the ceiling right in front of my face, and i GRABBED it. that is when i saw a less solid form of myself LEAVE from my real body. I was calm actually, and knew what was happening. I easily got my arms out, it was medium difficulty with the torso/head. I even accidentally slightly made my physical body get up when i meant for it to be the supposed "etheric copy" (that would've screwed everything up and i would've been pretty pissed but intrigued). but i stayed calm and got into it again, and got my torso out, then my legs weren't havin it. i had to try a couple times, but eventually did it. I floated and descended from the air to the ground very slowly. i was smiling the whole time because i realized what i've done. as i got out of my body though, i realized that my vision changed. i was no longer using my eyes because they were closed, but i could still see somehow near the are of my forehead (which is what i am assuming is the "third eye" everyone talks about). i couldn't adjust to the vision at all, but at the same time remembered that i should look at my body to see what i look like. i turned around and saw my face for literally .4 seconds before my copy immediately got sucked into my body. that is when i THOUGHT i woke up because since i went back into my body, i was in bed, and assumed it was over. what i failed to realize like an idiot is that i got sucked back into my body with the same book that i reached for that was falling from the ceiling (the lucid indicator). kinda funny. i dont think i was ready for the weird vision + seeing my body all at the same time, but i still felt calm when it all happened and did not panic at all, so i dont know why i flew back into my body. I haven't recently been into the whole lucid dreaming/OBE routines, yet i have been having the most lucid experiences lately. do you think it is because i was too obsessed with trying to make everything happen and not letting things take course? even if that is the case, it is weird that all of this comes when i STOP doing reality checks and get out of the groove.

Awesome experience man! If you can remember what you did there you can go from projection to lucid and back to projection again. Tell us about the exact method/technique you used! - DreamBliss

Great first experience. The moments upon awakening are the best times to attempt separation.You can Deild (lucid dream) or Wild (obe). You made a conscious decision to separate so that's exactly what happen for u. The best and most simplest way to pro long a outter body is to get atleast ten feet away from your body usually just out of the room. Our physical body has it's own gravitational pull so the closer you are to it the more likely you are to get pulled back prematurely.

Last night when I was asleep I had a moment where I knew I was "asleep" but still very much "awake" in my mind. I thought this might be a cool opportunity to try and astral project.... I tried to take my "ethereal " body and first raise my right arm, followed by my left. My eyes were closed but I could still "see" my arms being raised up while my physical body did not move. After I was thinking about the experience I immediately was back in my body. I thought of trying again... and this time I heard a "clanking" in my right ear followed by what appeared (???) to be a growl... I have heard a "clanking" sound is common but still trying to make sense of the growl. One person said it could be the subconscious trying to make sense of astral sounds. I dunno... Regardless, I tried to "roll" over and attempt to "roll" myself out of my body... Well it worked lol. I rolled out and the next thing I know I floated down on the left side of my bed... and well.. kept going lol. I ended up below the ground... a very weird sensation. I immediately was back in my body and nonethewiser from my experience. Best, Matt

Sounds like you had fun! What method did you use? I "got out" 5 times so far, every time vas different, but I was loving every single one of them. First time - I realized my feet are hanging at odd angle, second time my whole body got out, third time I willed my body to hover and moved it through the kitchen and wall to LD, fourth time I rolled out when initiated OBE within a dream and last time I found myself looking at ceiling from 6 inches away. Too bad, when this happens to you, you don't have time to stop and think about the incredible stuff happening to you.
