My first times... straight from my journal:

Late May 2005:
'I came accross an article on astral projection on the internet, it mentioned buzzing, vibrations and floating and I stop, and think, 'I recognise what this person is writing about' and I think 'I have done the beginning of what this person is writing about' ... I speak on the phone to a friend of mine that night and tell her what I am going to try to achieve (astral projection) we both have a giggle...'

I go to bed and dream of work....

31st May 2006:
'I rise early to visit the bathroom, as I return to bed I know something is about to happen as I feel a sensation in my head which is familiar. the vibrations start as I am lying on my back. I sense someone in my bedroom (a dweller experience but not a scary one?)there is pressure on the left hand side of my body as if someone is leaning over my body with their head resting against mine. I was very nervous but this being presence was making me feel assured, then I felt that this being was drawing me or pulling me out of my body...' After this I was pulled in to a lucid dream in my local supermarket...

5th June 2006:
'Woke at 6am and attempted to go back to sleep, vibrations started and I got nervous so I broke free of them, then they started again once I relaxed and I managed to breathe through them and simply aknowledging what was happening... I started to float upwards and also felt like I was travelling very very fast, I freaked out and returned to my physical body with a massive tingling in my hands.'

16th June 2006: (This was the first Big one)
'I wake at 1 am and roll over to go back to sleep but manage to pull my point of consciousness back towards waking... I become really 'aware' and 'alert' and although I feel no vibrations I will myself out of my body and I feel myslef go sideways about 2 metres away, I immediately pick up a new sensation of seeing without physical eyes. So I say to myself 'dont panic, thats your physical body in bed'. I will myself closer to have a look. However I am a little unused to my new movement patterns and I am hovering and when I move I float... I went too close to the bedside table and when I put my 'hand' out to stop myself it went straight through the bedside table and I could feel my socks inside the drawer. Then my head started to do the same so I freaked out and came back to my physical body"

At this time I had read very little literature on OBEs. Although I wasnt scared of what was happening as I knew I was in control of what was happening, I did question my sanity. I saw a psychologist who helped me understand that I wasnt crazy at all. OBE's are a massive part of me now as I now know that there is more much more. I would advise anyone attempting to OBE to pay full attention to the advice given by the experienced members of these forums and read the works of the fathers of OBE such as Bruce and Monroe. If I had studied the advice presented I could have saved myself months of undoing one particularly scary incident of the "dweller of the threshold" It took me 6 months to undo that programming.
Astral Projection and OBEs are fun and incitefull but they are serious stuff, take all the advice you can get so your mind becomes educated enough to be want to explore with confidence and respect.

I hope this helps
