Hi all, my first post..
I'll get straight to the point. How do/did you guys get over the fear of letting go and going into a OBE? This morning I tried to WILD by waking up, concentrating and visualizing on doing it and falling asleep again. The WILD turned into an OBE straight away. The sensation you get as if you're loosing your body. Vibrating, rotating, deforming.. But I couldn't do it! I was too scared to go on with it. The thing is, ones every so often I get this. But I always chicken out and force myself to wake up. I tell my self the next time it happens, I will go with it! But when it happens, I'm too scared again. I have done some mad trips in my life. I have no problem letting myself go with the flow. But this.. This is just sooo intense!
So my question, how do you guys get over this fear? What advice can you guys give me? Can you tell me something, anything, that will make me to go on the next time?
http://www.lucidity.com/NL32.OBEandLD.html This article helped me a bit. It explains what an OBE is from a scientific perspective. I interpret OBE as being conscious while dreaming, but unlike a normal LD, during a OBE you're (semi) awake and aware of your surroundings. Due to the paralyzing effects of REM, there is no sensory input. The brain is very adaptable in perceiving its surrounding and does so no matter what it takes. In this case it will try to do so without any sensory input, but purely out of memory. Given the fact that almost all sensory input data is stored in the subconscious, it's an easy task for the brain to recreate the surroundings. The result.. an OBE. That kind of grounded it for me. Forced me to believe I'm not actually leaving my body. So I shouldn't be scared. But it didn't help! Still scared. Help??
