Thread: Smudgefish's Workbook

From my DJ:

I woke in my bed and saw the guitar standing by the wall in my bedroom, I knew immediately that I was still dreaming. I wanted to look at my hand to check that but couldn't move, although I just caught sight of my hand and it wasn't right. I thought that if I couldn't move I would try to OBE so concentrated on trying to move upwards, that didn't work. I tried to sit up - that was hard work! but I managed it, then I tried to move my legs, that was really difficult, I moved them and swung around, my body felt very difficult to control and feather light. My legs sort of floated down on top of my wife and I was worried I might wake her up. I was stuck by my pelvis, so I sort of flopped my legs and head down over the side of the bed thinking that I might just drop down onto the floor. I could see the carpet. Nothing happened I was still stuck by my pelvis. At this point it was such hard work and I was feeling very strange so I returned properly to my body and woke myself up.

Had another good WILD session before sleep last night. It seems to be getting me some results later in the night.

I'm getting closer and closer!

Had a FA at 2am. Not sure why I couldn't move when I realised I was having a FA. It's what happened to me last time. On this occasion it was definitely a FA rather than a sleep paralysis as the room looked slightly different. I'm not sure if I then had a true OBE or it was just a dream of getting out of body (does it make any difference?) - either way I got stuck and didn't get too far. I forgot the trick of reaching upwards and pulling yourself out I wish I had thought of that at the time because it was REALLY frustrating getting stuck like that. I wonder if I now have an expection of not being able to move or getting stuck?

The other thing I noticed is that I was quite 'fogged' during this FA and didn't think clearly. It's certainly not like a waking conciousness. If it happens again I need to try increasing my conciousness - perhaps saying 'more lucidity' might help??
