Just had the most fun lucid obe experience last night.
Before I went to bed I had done some good night reading from Robert Bruce's
Astral Dynamics. I was reading about lucid dreaming which I have also been
practicing for a while. I was practicing how to turn a lucid dream into an OBE,
by noticing in the dream world that something was wrong and making reality checks.

My reality check in lucid dreaming is pulling my thumb, to see if it react like in the
physical realm or it kind of melts away or extends with the pull.
I have done the same reality check for years so its pretty routine.

Well I went to bed and before long, I somehow got "scared" or some sounds, but
instead of getting up to see what it was, I channeled the fear energy into vibrations
(its a trick i have developed over the years), in order to trigger an OBE.

I felt the energy vibration fairly quickly, like those you normaly have when you experience
"sleep paralysis" and I know this is the time to exit the body. I willed myself to it and realy
got some "muscle" into it, untill i stood up and looked around my bedroom.
It seemed I had used too much will power and had inadvertedly broken the sleep paralysis
and had infact waken up and get out of bed instead of out of my body ;(

I went around my apartment, a bit and then i performed my reality check just by instinct
and nothing happend to my thumb, which told me i was indeed not out of body, but merely
out of bed. "Bummer" I though walking a big back and forth.
Quite impulsively I decided to jump up on my desk in my drawing room. And so I did, quite
impressing myself as i jumped onto it and landed like a feather.
I distinctively remember that when i landed, I made little or no sound.

Ahh well, back to bed I thought and walked towards my bed laying down, no OBE tonight
I thought.

But how wrong I was! In hindsight I can now see that this was infact an obe, only thing is
that it all seemed so real that my mind somehow didnt catch it and the fact that my
reality check didn't work made me even more sure that no OBE had been performed.

The thing that hit me when i later woke up in my bed, and made me laugh, is that
there is no way i can jump onto my desk, straight from the floor and landing on it like
a feather. It was an obe, but everything in it, even the realitycheck thing was so totaly
realy that if not for jumping onto the table like that, I would never have attributed
this activity to an OBE.

I learned a great deal from this and I think form now on i will have an easier time to seperate
from the body in the sleep paralysis state. I always thought that if it over tried, to exit the body
I would wake up somehow. I know now that it was my mind that equipped with this belief,
discounted the whole thing as nothing more than me waking up and walking around in the room
and going back to sleep agian.

Maybe I should adjust my reality check method to jumping instead

Happy OBE'ing
