I'm having difficulty understanding why I can't consciously stop myself in mid-travel during an OBE. The mere thought of taking a single step initializes a gliding manuever without the need of any leg movement. Though my glide speed is faster than my normal speed of walking and rounding corners, the route and destination still honor my intentions. However, if I freak out because I can't consciously stop myself (e.g., about to run into a person or a closed door), I'm immediately sent back to my body. If anyone knows why it's difficult to consciously stop or slow down during OBE travel, please let me know.
