Thread: Hello!

Thanks, I will. I'm glad I found this forum!

Just the knowledge that it is nothing harmful and is actually very fun should be enough! The vibrating is SP setting in and this feels awesome to me.

It is also my opinion that OBEs are just highly vivid LDs. There is no factual evidence to support either side but just no that NOTHING about it is harmful to you, even if it were real.

You'll wake up feeling fine.

Thanks, jarrhead, I was wondering what the difference between OBEs and LDs was. The vibrating just seemed to happen spontaneously and I just got a really strong feeling that I was going to have an OBE/go astral traveling. Which can be very fun but I was not ready for it, it wasn't something that I wanted at that time. Now I wonder what would have happened if I just went with it. I guess I just need to remember that I am safe, no matter what. It definitely feels so very real at the time!

Does anyone have any thoughts on dreams in green backgrounds? Like when everything is a varying shade of mid to dark green? What does that mean? I've had a couple that were surreal. In one of them I was being chased by a few people and I ended up jumping to the top of a building to escape. In another one I was sitting in some very fast moving cart (the kind that amusement parks have). Someone pushed it to move downwards and then it made some quick turns at right angles. This happened several years ago, the green dreams are rare for me.

Well, I don't know about your beliefs, and we may not be the same since you believe in OBEs and I don't, but there really is no meaning to dreams. They are just what your mind is thinking about at the time.

Hmmm, thanks for the input...more food for thought.

An OBE is a dream where you think you've actually left your body. An LD is a dream where you know you are dreaming. Both can happen through SP. The green dreams most likely mean nothing.

Thanks for the clarification, YYNYM. For some reason, it's reassuring to hear that the green dreams most likely mean nothing.
I haven't noticed SP setting in since two weeks ago. Lately I sense myself falling deeper and deeper, and then I'm asleep.

Usually my ears ring as I fall asleep, and sometimes I get swirling images in black and white, or I see a very neat cursive script, like from a typewriter. It has been difficult at times trying to fall asleep while I'm seeing these intense images (they're not frightening at all), and there's a subtle humming in my mind when it happens. I wonder if anyone else seen something like this while they're trying to fall asleep?

I read on this forum in one of the tutorials about changing your focus if something undesirable happens in your dream. While I was dreaming last night I think I remembered this, but it wasn't a lucid dream since I didn't think "I am dreaming". I happened upon a disturbing scene in my dream, and instead of getting scared, I looked away a little bit/changed my focus and it faded away. I think it's awesome that it worked!

Oceanblue, those pictures you're seeing are perfectly normal and that is, infact, part of SP kicking in. At night, of course. In the morning it's terrible.

Mine are strobe lights accompanied by vibrations and a huge amplification of my tinnitus as if somebody was playing the ringing through a speaker.

Wow it's so cool what SP is (or I think it is)! I remember whenever I get it I hear tones of random voices that create a whole static sea. I don't see anything though. I've never got 'em in the morning is it the more you have 'em the more you get 'em in the morning?
