Hey guys,
So I got ahead of myself last night, and was determined to go WILD. My body was really tired already, so I thought it might help quite a bit. I went to bed at about 11:28. Typically I never sleep on my back, but when I do, I usually have an OBE. So I read all the stuff on this forum to get some tips on how to do it.
I layed on my back and wrapped myself in tight and had a second pillow on top of my body for an extra tight seal so that I wouldn't move. I curled the pillow under my neck, so my head would stay still. I also put my hands together.
In what seemed like about 5-10 minutes, my body started to go numb at my feet. I focused on my breathing and went from breathing through my mouth to my nose and back, just to keep my mind busy. I had the song that goes "Tonight's gonna be a good night, tonight's gonna be a good night" stuck in my head (LOL). But more of like a trance version that I made up in my head.
Then my right shoulder started to twitch a little bit. Then a minute or two later my left foot's toes started to twitch also, and then I felt what seemed like an itch on the left side of my neck, I had to focus not to want to touch it. But it soon passed.
So my body was fully numb, and all that I could really feel was my mouth breathing because it was cold and my mouth got dry. The whole time it was just black and seemed like waves of different levels of black flowing from top to bottom in a upsidedown U shape.
From time to time I would go through what seemed like a "phase", where I would slightly fall asleep and wake up, it was kind of like different stages of sleep or conciousness (This happened at least 6 times is my guess). I kept tellling myself, don't "f" this up, you've come so far already! Then I tried to relax my body.
Then I saw a tiny heart that was red floating around. I started to notice a few objects that were of color other than black. My body really started to tingle and my eyes started to twitch!!!
I couldn't make it "into a full dream", but I do remember seeing my brother faintly and I got the feeling like his girlfriend had died, and I could feel his sadness, but then I did a RC, and said, there's no way she's dead and realized I was starting to dream.
My heart started beating faster (This I don't know for certain if it was beating faster, or if time was just altered/sped up and I just noticed that I could hear my heart beating). This phase lasted about 30 seconds, then I would go back down a phase, then about 3 minutes later it would happen again (2 or 3 times total I believe).
My eyes kept twitching, but I noticed my mouth was really dry and I had built up some saliva, I held out as long as I could, but had to swallow. Then I had to go to the bathroom, which pulled me out of it. Plus I a hunger feeling in my stomach. So I woke myself up to go to the bathroom and eat a banana, and my body took like 1-2 minutes to wake up, it was a crazy feeling, like when you sit on the toilet too long and your leg goes numb, that was my whole body.
If someone would have asked me how long it was, I would have said 30 minutes max! I then looked at the clock, and WOAH it was 1:02AM. I was shocked!!!! I was in it for over 90 minutes!
At that time I wrote down as much as I could remember. I tried to repeat the process, but fell asleep and had a regular dream. As much as I was disappointed that I didn't make it into a LD, it gave me motivation to try it again. It took a lot of work keeping my brain active, and not succumbing to falling unconscious. But it was worth it!!
I have no clue how to classify this, but it was definitely something I have never felt in my life.
Just thought I'd share with you guys Sorry for the novel!
Daniel
