Trying a lucid dream course to see if I can increase frequency. Instructions said to sleep for 4 1/2 hours and set the alarm to wake up and record dreams. Then I was supposed to sleep for 90 minutes, wake up and record, sleep 90 minutes, wake up and record.

Woke up after 5 hours, timer had let me down but I recorded a dream anyway. Fixed timer but, unfortunately, couldn't get back to sleep. Tried laying still and meditating, which was difficult this night. 90 minutes passed.

I lay still and tried to get back to sleep. Shortly after I felt that electrical change in the body and I knew I could project if I wanted to. It wasn't bumpy vibrations just an electrical buzz over my entire body. So I willed myself to float out. I got a few feet over my body but couldn't really get further. Actually, I think I was blocked. I made a deal with my HS/guide/God/whatever that I wouldn't be ambitious; that I would just take a brief walk about, come back and shout upon re-entry. I forgot my pledge and instantly thought about hooking up with friends. I was pretty wilfull about it.

So, I'm back "in my body" when it occurs to me I haven't moved so I can try again. I do a bit of a roll out- top part of my body. I feel something like cardboard on the bed (I'm in the guest bed so as not to disturb hubby.) I pick it up. It's three photographs of my friend, Lindelle, whom I haven't seen for years but whom I miss. Then I look over at the window. My son's yellow curtains are in the guest room and there's a bag full of Christmas presents against them. There's a huge tear down them and I reason that the bag has torn them. Now I go into normal dreaming activity. Vivid dreams.

This is the second OBE that's ended with a vision of something with a rift in it. In a former one, it was a hole in the wall with water trickling through. Any ideas??
