Hey fellow forumers,

I want to share my so far experiences. I haven't had a successful conscious OoBE. But still feels like I'm getting there.

As a child I've had several lucid dreams - realizing I'm dreaming. Until middle school (age ~17) didn't know what it was (now I'm 24). So then I started to read a lot about human mind, hypnosis etc. Stumbled on OoBE, but at that point didn't seem like a thing for me. So 7 - 8 months ago, met some old friend and he turnd me to this again. Since then I've been trying have an conscious OoBE.

I have had a lot of progress, I'd like to think so Sure should pay more attention to it, but still need to go to work..
So, recently I can catch myself as vibrations start, before falling asleep at night. (i rarely try to have an OoBE at night) But as soon as i feel the vibrations start usually from my back, I snap out and they end. I also have reached some sort of partial Sleep Paralysis - my legs, feelings were like some sort of heavy stuff was put on my legs and I couldn't move them. And again as soon as I realized what was going on, I snapped back.

Usually I try to have an OoBE in the morning, waking up before I have to get to work. I have an alarm at 5:30, but usually I can wake up before that, and fall asleep and wake several times. The only thing I can think of is to roll over and fall asleep. I know it's the roll-over signal, but still can't overcome the need to roll over.

Also I'd like to think that I have good visualization skills. I can get to Hypnagogic state, and start seeing dream-like random episodes, also sounds, but neither I can control them nor continue. And again, as those episodes start I snap back.

I think I've had some unconscious OoBE - lying on my back, traying to seperate, and at some piont I lost myself, the next thing I remeber - falling back into my body, and the feeling was like i really hit the ground an my legs and arms went up in air.

So I wanted to ask for your opinion and suggestions?

How could I maintain consciousness, how to overcome roll-over signal.

One thing i will start up from today - dream journal. Cause I think i can wake up after my dreams, but if I don't write them down I forget them.
