Ha ha you're getting tweaked. See the post (probably below this one) about the Astral Planes getting removed.

Hi all, I have only just discovered this OBE thing existed and have been reading up on it. The more I read the more the more I question myself. All my life I've had a sort of problem with sleep. As a child I would fight falling asleep. I could lye there for a long time with my mind and body awake, but eventually sleep would catch me unaware. In my mind I would release what was happening and then snap out of it. This would leave my mind awake but my body paralysed. I am unable to control my breathing as my body is taking care of that and can-not move my body what so ever.My ears start ringing. As a child this would cause me to panic and I found it to be very scary. Now I'm older I don't panic but I still don't like it. I am able to relax and work my way out of it. I can make myself fall into this state whenever I like.Though I choose to avoid it. After reading about OBE over the last couple of days I could relate. So last night I did it and stayed calm and tried to see where it took me. It sounds strange but I sort of dreamed I was looking at my girl friend in bed then I went into my yard and ran around with the dogs. My yard was very colourful and had a sand box with disco lights all very peaceful. Then BANG my eyes opened so fast. Was this all coincidence or am I on to something?

You had a quick OBE. Congratulations.

What do I do next? and I am still very unsure to as if it was an OBE. I would be very surprised if I could do it that easy after reading how long the process takes some people to fall into a trance. it would be great if I could do it though and after all these years of fear I can finally get some good out of it. Even though I was aware what I was doing I could not control what I was doing. What next. Its pretty exciting.

**CFTraveler** · 12th May 2009, 12:09 PM

If you give me a step by step breakdown of what you do, I'll tell you what to do next.
Trance is easier for some people to do than others, and individual results vary.
If you OBE'd as a child, chances are it's easier for you.

The night before last I woke up a few inches above the body, & could see my room rather like an out of focus photo, with a sort of 'doubled up " effect around objects. . . I couldn't move (either body!) Then some shafts of light appeared & I began to feel threatened & sank back in . . . I've never tried to phase, & wonder whether I was just "stuck" or actually phasing. . . .

Doesn't sound like phasing as much as an actual Projection.
Did you feel any sense of "separating" anytime before it happened?

**CFTraveler** · 23rd June 2009, 06:23 PM

According to Robert (and it makes sense to me) you float right over your body while you sleep- so I'd say that you just woke up before you woke up. And yes, I'd call it an OBE.
ps. I believe phasing is a projection anyway, it's just that the experience is a little different from an OBE to the RTZ.
