Yay!! I did it! I FINALLY had a conscious OBE for the first time in my life!!!

So I was laying down this morning after I awoke several times while my mom was getting ready for work, and I was trying to have an OBE each time as I tried to fall asleep again...finally I woke up and it felt like my hands were falling asleep (they were crossed on my chest I believe) they were getting tingly...I think I ignored it, I either moved my hands beside my sides or left them there, I can't remember right now...but I kept telling myself to go deeper and deeper and gave myself the falling sensation. At some point I felt a pressure on my lower head..I sometimes feel this feeling when trying to leave my body when it isn't ready and end up moving a physical body part..so I thought that I was actually moving my head, so I relaxed and tried to not move it...then the pressure got a little stronger and went down my neck and I felt it push into the pillow. I still thought I was moving and tried to relax more. I then started seeing hypnagogic imagery in the black/blue tones I described earlier only this time with much more vivid detail...I focused on these, and after a minute my entire body seemed to have rotated in about 180 degrees so my head was now around my foot area. I still didn't think I was having an OBE...I guess this could be cause by the groggy feeling you get when waking up from sleep, still incoherent with reality...finally I felt like I was being shot into the air, I would compare it to the speed of putting something in a sling shot and letting it go. I then went through the wall/ceiling, and all was completely dark, except for a little round white/yellowish light. I THEN realized I was having an OBE and was trying to figure out what was going on. I saw the light, remembered I had been trying to project and it was around 11:00 a.m. I then realized what I was seeing was the sun! I got really excited and as soon as I realized it was the sun, EVERYTHING lit up and I could see the world. As I was in the air falling to the ground I kept saying to myself, I just had my first conscious OBE over and over because I was so excited...I then saw myself about to land and got a little worried because I was kind of high up in the air and I didn't want to hurt myslef...I knew I wouldn't REALLY hurt myself but I landed and fell on my feet then knees and hands, got up and was fine. Then I noticed everything except a part of my left eye (I know you don't actually have EYES there, but for sake as to give a proper description). I then used the Clarity now/ I see perfectly and after I closed my eyes wishing for it, it came and I could see everything. I kept thinking I have to get away from my body as far as I can because I don't want to go back in it....so I was trying so hard not to think about my body that it turned out it was the ONLY thing I WAS thinking about...that annoyed me, but it didn't send me back so I looked around...

I don't think I really projected in the RTZ because the environment I was seeing wasn't really where I lived, I mean it kind of was...but it was definatly backwards so I might have gotten my vision backwards but reversed things still wouldn't have been the same...the building wasn't right even. But the sidewalk was on the wrong side for sure (I think....lol). Alright, so then I knew I had to keep it short in order to remember properly and I had been wanting to try these memory things I'd been talking about, so I sat on my feet with knees to my chest and arms around my legs...and closed my eyes...and said something like, "I want to see a part of my memory"...something like that..I didn't give any specifics...suddenly I saw through closed eyelids a tunnel and felt myself going through it....I ended up at my old house where I grew up in Indiana...

It was dark and I was in the kitchen, all was quiet. I looked around for a second and went into the living room, saw this board type thing in front of the hall way and jumped/floated over it and my step brother screamed at me (we were playing hide and seek, I don't know how I knew this and I couldn't believe that he could even see me anyways.) Anyways we walk down the hallways and into the spare bedroom and I see my dad and stepmom there, she is lying on a futon and dad is sitting in a rocking chair. Neither of them notice me and I realize they can't see me. I sense my other brother is in the bathroom connected to this room....then I see myself laying on the floor asleep. Some point in time the me on the floor dissapears and then my parents can see me and ask me how I got over by the door when I was just on the floor...I don't really remember responding...I got to the futon and give my step mom a hug and sit/lie down....I think I faded into a dream at this point and don't remember any more...

This is so awesome and I don't think I was seeing a memory because I don't remember ever being in that situation...not did we ever have a rocking chair in that room either, so I don't know if my mind just created a dream instead of sending me a memory....maybe it sent me into a memory of the house, who knows...the point is that I actually had a conscious OBE..and I have YOU to thank CFTraveler...telling me to FOCUS on the hypnagogic state was probably the BEST advice anyone has ever given me....it WORKED! The weird thing is that this time I didn't feel any vibrations, and I've always felt them...this was so exciting and I can't wait to do it again...hopefully soon I will be able to do it without having to have sleep relax my body enough and I'll be able to do it...

One other question..whenever I try to have an OBE while sitting in my chair I always get so uncomfortable and can't really relax, even when I lay down in bed now...I always start to feel tired and want to lay on my side...and sitting on my chair I want to go lay down, it's an aggravating feeling and I was wondering if you ever feel this when you try to have an OBE?

Thanks again for your help, this experience has been amazing, and I'm so exicted!!!
