I’ve been doing WILD (Wake Back to Bed) every night for the last month, and I’ve had many OBE’s (just about every night). The trick was learning when and then how to 'leap out'! I think I’ve got it figured out now.

Upon consciously waking from a dream, with my body still asleep, I could feel my body slightly floating on my bed sheets. Great! It’s time to 'leap out' of my body and have some fun! I leaped from my body and landed on the floor, standing beside my bed. Please note another good time to ‘leap out’ is towards the end of ‘the vibrations’. Relax to the point of unconsciousness and then leap to your feet. Do it in your mind, not physically, or else you really sit up in bed, and then you’re totally awake. This is where I kept messing up on early attempts.

One problem, I couldn’t see anything, but this didn’t slow me down. I headed towards the door and searched for the door knob. I needed to quickly get away from my body to prevent me from getting sucked back in there. It feels like there’s some strange force pulling me back, and I feel real heavy and sluggish. I must move away in order for this feeling to disappear. I felt around up and down the door until I found the knob. Found it! I turned it slowly and heard the latch click open and then I walked out. I’m free! I headed slowly down the hallway, totally blind. No problem though, I figured out what to do when you're blind in an OBE. Simply claw away at what’s covering your eyes and remove it piece by piece. I clawed about 6 to 8 times, and then I could see. My house was identical to waking life, but it was very dimly lit, because it was night time, and no lights were on. I walked down the stairs to the foyer and looked into the living room. I was about to focus and ask for improved clarity, plus some lighting, then boom! I was back in bed again. My heart was beating hard and I was breathing heavy. I was perfectly calm in the OBE, but my body half was freaking out for some reason. I need to figure out how to keep this from happening. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have a personal conviction not be violent in my LD’s; however, in the LD prior to this one I’m about to describe, I was violent. I guess I got scared, and resorted to violence. This is what happened in the following lucid dream (DEILD):

I entered the dream in a highly lucid state. I was inside my log cabin. All the windows were boarded up, and it was dimly lit. I went to the front door to try and open it, but it was locked. There was no furniture, or anything, the cabin was completely empty. The cabin has a vaulted ceiling, with a 2nd storey balcony, that overlooks the living room. I slowly floated up into the vaulted ceiling area, so I could see if the 2nd storey was also boarded up, and it was. Lowering myself back down to the first floor, I thought to myself, “Am I on a LD ‘time out’ for misbehaving in my previous LD?” Is this some sort of punishment? I’ve always been able to fly right through walls, doors, ceilings, and objects, so I thought I’d be tricky and blast right through the ceiling at a high speed, and breakout of this prison. I prepared for the escape by looking uninterested for a few seconds. With great speed I shot upwards towards the ceiling, only to find that I came to an abrupt stop, buried in complete darkness, and unable to move. I wormed and squirmed, but I was immobilized. Feeling total frustration, I woke myself up.
