Hi everyone,

Last night I think I've had my first OOBE. I described it in the other thread:
http://www.astraldynamics.com.au/sho...124#post138124

I am a new experiencer and never had conscious OBEs before so of course first thing was to think it was a weird dream. But then after talking to someone who also visited the Monroe Institute, he told me that what I experienced may have been a Light Body Projection.

What I wonder and have questions for is the following:

1.
How can I get to the trance state faster that is needed for conscious exit?
2. How do I recognize the time of exit when I do not feel any vibrations? They are unpredictable and sometimes I have them without being able to do anything with them, and many times I do not have them.
3. If I have no vibrations going on, how do I know when I should do ROPE or really any other technique to get the consciousness out of body?
4. Is the hypnogogic imagery and visions a sign of NOW is the time to separate?

I would appreciate it a lot to get some answers from advanced experiencers and what were your first OOBE experiences like?
