Lucid dream of an astral event ... and a ghost
(I'm going to try to describe what just happened, but frankly, this was a little unusual, even for me, so I'll just see if I can report this experience as it happened.)
I gained consciousness during a dream state, and found myself laying in a bed. I didn't know where I was, but the bed was set up so that my head and upper torso were propped up, such as in a bed whose top half could be raised, or perhaps my upper body had some pillows propped underneath it.
Faux OBE
Early this morning, just before 2am local time, I finally had something close to an OBE, my first real event since moving to Alaska. However, I call it a "Faux OBE", because it was a mix of an OBE and a lucid dream. I was floating around the ceiling like it was an OBE, but everything else about it was more like a lucid dream.
OBE / lucid dream notes
Here's how this "Faux OBE" event happened:
Lucid dream, Follow Me, family across a divide
In the closest thing I've had to an OBE in a while, later tonight I need to make a number of updates to my devdaily.com website, so I decided to take an afternoon nap. When I laid down, I decided to listen to one of the Monroe recordings I have, and I listened to it until I fell asleep.
OBE events and "expectation"
The concept of "expectation" is very important to your ability to have an OBE or lucid dream. In short, you must tell yourself it's perfectly normal to have an OBE, millions of people have had them before you, and millions will have them in the future.
Setting the conditions for an OBE
It has been a while since I last set up the conditions to be ripe to have an OBE, but I am working towards that once again, and I hope to be going on some trips soon. For some reason I've been lazy with this since I moved, probably because I've been working so much during the day, but I've finally worked up my resolve to do what needs to be done here.
OBE flying
Wow, I wish everyone could have the sensation of being pulled out of your body in an OBE and then just flying ... to feel the "whoosh" sensation as you fly along ... is incredible ... I have to believe it would change how many people look at life, and our existence here on Earth.
Out of body experience (OBE) in Soldotna, Alaska
I'm a little busy at the moment trying to find a place to live, so just a quick note here that I "woke up" just as an OBE was starting last night. I don't know what time it was, but I went to bed about 7:30pm because I was really tired, and I'm pretty sure this happened before midnight.
Was I being shown something during an OBE?
Another weekend, and another OBE -- wow! I couldn't have asked for a much better start to the new year, especially since I've been preoccupied with work and moving, and haven't even attempted to do any setup work for an OBE.
Moved my bed
I keep forgetting to mention that the one thing I have done prior to all these new vibration experiences -- three or four separate episodes since the beginning of the year -- was to move my bed.
As I've mentioned before, my neighbors here are very loud, so over the course of a few nights I found an area that seemed to be more quiet at night than the place I was sleeping. I moved my fake-futon over to that area, and I've been sleeping there every night since. I did this a few weeks ago, just after Christmas.
Three more vibration experiences
I just had three more vibration episodes during an afternoon nap. I still did not have an OBE, as I think I've swung the other way in my efforts, and I think I'm trying to force the action too much. However, I did have the very cool "toggling" between different worlds.
The setup
I had a stressful morning, and a nagging headache all day. Around 3pm I finally gave in and decided to rest for a little while. I set up my bean bag, and slept at an inclined angle for the usual 45 minutes or so.
