Ive noticed every time I try to OBE I fall asleep trying. First of all, how do I fix this problem? Second, when I wake up I can remember every dream Ive had that night. And while Im having the dreams there a lot more "realistic". Also....ive been having dreams about stuff that are actually coming true....like last night I tried to OBE, I fell asleep and had a dream about a huge wasp nest. It turns out that there is a bee or wasp behind my parents bathroom mirror. You can here them buzzing around back there very clearly and the exterminator is coming tomorrow....but this only happens when i try to OBE and fall asleep. Even though i find it useful that i can remember all of my dreams and even some of them are "clues" to the future....i dont want to fall asleep anymore and i want to OBE, how do i get past this problem of fallin asleep?


thanks for the help

Since the trick to OBEing deliberately is mainly awareness, I'd say that your reports of dream recall and heightened awareness are a good sign. To combat the 'falling asleep' effect, you should:
Do energy work- it does wonders with your 'staying' power-
And, make sure you're getting enough sleep- if you are overtired then it's very difficult to stay aware.
A trick that works for me is to get up early in the am, after getting nearly all my hours, and then try to project. You go into trance fairly quickly and can perceive the separation symptoms better, so you can control the projection better.

When you say energy work what do mean? Like filling my body with energy?


I was into psionics before i came upon OBE so i know how to do a lot with energy.

Maybe. Energy work can be Yoga, Qi Gong, NEW or any other discipline that stimulates the energy body. Even regular-old exercise can be considered energy work if you don't overdo it.

I was into psionics before i came upon OBE so i know how to do a lot with energy. Yes, but do you keep up with it lately, as in, do you practice routinely?
