      Out of Body Experience with assistance?

      This story is going to be a little disjointed I fear, as the dream and following states I was in are a little disjointed. I am posting this for anyone who has had a similar experience to discuss or to give advice, towards the end I've asked a couple of questions. It's important to note that this is my first out of body experience and was different to lucid dreams which I have a bit of experience with.

      Also want to mention that I am still unsure where I stand on my belief of Astral Projection as I have as yet to find anything concrete in the Lucid Dream or other states that prove to me when awake that I had moved into a different reality space. However I will keep going with it.

      This morning I had a lucid dream about 6am that I woke from, very simple lucid dream, I was on a soccer field alone and realised I was dreaming so I kicked the ball and mentally directed it into the top right hand corner of the goal. A friend arrived and distracted me and I lost lucidity (thanks for that Steve).

      A short while after I woke up and could feel the vibrations, which anyone familiar with sleep paralysis will be aware of, sometimes they scare me, other times they don't, which means I am getting better as they used to all scare the hell out of me.

      Having read Robert Monroe's 'Journey's out of the body' I decided to try and 'roll out'. I was able to move my 'astral' arms and reach over and touch the floor initially. After a while I was able to fully roll out and was in a 'press up position' on the floor. All the time knowing that my body was up on the bed. I concentrated and floated up to the ceiling, then I felt anxious and automatically moved back into my body. It felt similar to when you get a fright in a dream and are shot back into your body, except in slow motion, I calmly floated back into my body.

      Now the trouble was, throughout this whole experience, I could not see anything. The floor and ceiling were where I perceieved them to be, but whenever I tried to open what I will call my 'astral eyes', my eyes started to open on my physical body, like it was waking my body up.

      Question 1: Has anyone experienced such a thing and if so, how did you get around this? Any tips on how can I open my eyes and see what's around me when in this state?

      Finally, now I am not sure if this occured before or after I managed to 'roll out' of my body', but I felt a presence, 2 or 3 other beings in the room that seemed to be involved in the vibration process I think and it felt like they were trying to assist me in getting out of my body. There was a being I perceived as female, dark hair wearing a gray and black striped top, that is all I recall, no facial features just her presence. A short time after they had appeared to have left, a I started to get a little scared during the vibrations and asked for her to return, which she did, and she said to me in what seemed a rather jocular tone, "I do this about 30 times a week!".

      Now it did seem in good spirit and like she has something to do with my being in these other states, assuming when I am asleep and unaware what is going on, seeing as lucid dreaming accounts for about 0.001% of my total dreaming life.

      So Question 2: Has anyone had any similar interactions with entities when trying to get out of their bodies?

      Sorry for this being a bit long winded.

      Cheers.

      I have only had 3 events, that I'm pretty sure, were OBEs. But I have encountered everything you have mentioned. So I'll try to perhaps shed some light on this.

      When you have no vision, you can do a couple ot things.
      1. Pry open your astral eye with your astral hand. I have done this just recently, although it was in a WILD, it should work the same in OBE.
      2. You can put your astral hands close to your face and make yourself see your hands. Once you see them, look around and KNOW, that you can see now. (I have done this in LD)
      3. Sometimes it just takes a little longer for the astral vision to kick in.
      4. You can try some commands. Like "enhance vision". Or say "wow, everythink is so vivid" and see if you can trick yourself.
      5. Sometimes you can see, but you are in a place called "void" thats empty space.

      You can check out this blog She mentions helpers, that sometimes help her to pull her out by ankles and also they are there during her experiences. I think she also mentions, that she protects herself before the attempt, as to attract only 'good' helpers. She is a member here on DV.

      I didn't see any helpers, but once I woke up at night and my astral body was half way between my bed and the window and I felt being pulled by my ankles.

      Happy travels

      Hi gab,

      Thanks very much for your response and the links. I will definitely give the techniques a try, I'll write them down so I remember them better. I also read that getting further away from your body can be a big help.

      Anyway, thanks for the advice, hopefully I will have another chance to do this soon. Trying on a daily basis at the moment by setting a few alarms 5-6 hours after my first sleep.

      RE helpers, I've definitely felt presences in the past and like you, have been feeling pulled from a specific part of my body (that is not a euphemism), usually chest/neck or head, but resisted it. But I've never had a visual on it like this, in spite of my astral eyes being closed. Weird.

      Thanks again for the reply and happy travels to you too
