Thanks journeyman161 for encouraging me to post my story over here as well!
Using a method I found on these boards, I believe I was able to have my first conscious/willed projection this morning. I am still a bit confused about it all, however, so I will be perusing the boards today looking for answers to some of my questions so hopefully I can better understand and respect what it happening. I tend to "fill in the gaps" when I think about something like a dream sequence too long, so I'd like to write out what happened to me this morning before I muddy it up with my imagination.
I woke up around 7 am with the intents of setting my alarm for 20 minutes from then. I started repeating in my mind while focusing on the swirling colors behind my eyes "When my body falls asleep, I will separate from my body. " After a few minutes I started to drift away from my focus and I'd have to fight to get it back, but then I realized the drifting away was me falling asleep and it was a good thing, so I just quit fighting it.
Always when I am falling asleep, I feel rocking at my feet. This happens whether I am consciously tryng to project or not. I never considered it to possibly be part of the "process" til I read about rocking being one of the sensations you might feel when you're ready to project. I started to feel the rocking again and I was in a dream sequence (or so it seemed.) I was on my bed with another person, an unknown man, and I knew I was dreaming (Lucidity, I suppose) and I started rocking my "body" back and forth in my dream til all of a sudden I was sliding off the bed and I stood up on my feet. I said to myself "this is it, I am projecting!" I walked around the bed to where my body should be lying and I looked at it, but I was scared to. Instead of seeing myself, I saw a baby lying next to me. It creeped me out but I knew if I got scared I would get pulled back to I just kept walking forward. I told myself I wanted to go see Josh, my "estranged" husband in the den, which in my parents house where I am is now a dining room (but it used to be a den a long time ago) and Josh doesn't even live here. But I kinda floated down the hall and sure enough there was Josh sitting on a couch where a couch used to be in the den. I wondered if he could see me so I looked at him and called his name, he looked back at me and I smirked because I wanted to show him I could float and I could project (he teased me for believing in it) and I started floating up to show him. Right at that time the alarm went off (as planned) and I woke up happy as a kid in a candy store. It was SO much fun!
Now, since I am an astral noob, I have no idea what any of this means. Which is why I need to read read read today!! I can live with the fact that it may have just been a Lucid dream, because I still got to float on my own (my most favorite thing to do when dreaming) AND I got to remember it! Plus I feel one step closer to a real projection (if that wasn't it) since I was able to make it through this first experience with little to no fear.
Thanks for allowing me to share my experience. I hope to have many more willed OBE's!
