One of my earliest success with OBE

I did it!

I'm not totally sure what to class it as but I'm guessing it was an OBE because it was in my room, but it was different in some ways.
And this is the first time I instead of letting the vibrations surge I pushed them down and kept them in check. I'm not sure what it's called the way i separated because of the way I did it.

I was actually trying to induce a Lucid Dream through the WILD method but instead of the images I was expecting I felt the vibrations starting to build up and I thought
"Dammit, not again" those were not the ones I wanted, because they just surge (feeling damn good) but in the end I usually wake up in bed.

So for the first time I tried 'not' to have them, but since they feel good I was a bit loose on my grip and lets the buildup more, but then pushed them down because in the end I didn't want this to be the normal fail.

As I laid there I sensed that there was something wrong with my arms, as if they were in 2 places at ones but not the same. So the ones I mostly felt was a bit higher compared to the other set, so I tried to feel them and felt that it was my "real" arms that was lower. I've felt this just a few, 2-3 times before but this time was the first time that I really explored what it meant.

So very very slowly I tried to move my "other" arms and I did feel a movement, then I went quickly back to focus on my physical, just to make sure I hadn't moved them. They were still in the same place and I was now feeling my "other" arms higher up :-D

I moved them a bit more, and repeated the process a few times and it confirmed to me that Yes, some parts of my "other" body was separated from my physical

Then I got an odd image of a lady floating up from where I was in bed and hovering there for a time then it was gone. Weird :P

Well, it reminded me of a technique where you imagine yourself floating above yourself and then shifting to that body. I never really understood how to do this, but probably because I'm reading up a bit on Lucid Dreaming I remembered a Lucid dream stabilizing technique where you focus on the objects around you in order to gain more clarity, stability and shift focus from the physical body.

I did this and imagined what it would look like through my "imaginary body" eyes and after a bit of concentration, because the feeling of "me" was shifting back and forth from the body in the bed to the imaginary. But after a little while "I" started to settle in the new body and I tried to move.

Now after and thinking while I write this, I think I should have let it have more time to settle because everything was very slow and my mind was a bit foggy right then, that's why I ruled it out as a Lucid Dream by the way.

I did move but very slowly as if I was moving through syrup but hey, I'm moving in a totally new body that I just created! :P

However everything was very clear, but I had a bit of a tunnel-vision. I moved slowly away from above my sleeping body towards the wall 1½ meter after my bed ends.
I reached it and slowly turned around to my computer (I think you get that it's going slowly :P )

I saw a note with my handwriting that said 50/50, no idea what it was but I think I wrote something like that and put it on my computer about 2-3 weeks ago.
And the desk was clean compared to what it is now, and the headphones were on the left side instead of the right.

I moved back towards my body, because you guessed it. I wanted to see it!

That's when it started to destabilize, because I got a surge of excitement and anticipation and as quick as I could I started to turn towards my body.
Quick as in think of fast a clock ticks to get to a quarter past.

Needless to say, I didn't make it :(

I stared to see lights again through my physical eyes, after a bit of trying to shift back but to no avail. I opened my eyes, went up, started the computer and I’m now writing this.

It was short, but yet awesome especially the way the "me" shifted into the new body. It made me think that maybe it's a bit like this body, we keep so much attention on it to dress it, feed it, care for it and experience this world through it that we keep it in existence. Perhaps if you stopped caring about it, after a long time since it's the physical plane, it would also slowly die.
Compared to some of the things in the astral, there for one moment and gone in the next. Kind of like my new body... I wonder if you can sustain it somehow... But maybe it's easier to just make a new one.
