Hi all,

It’s been a while, but not because a lack of effort. I have been working hard to get a new business up and going. I am almost there but it has taken its toll on me both physically and mentally. So I have been basically sleep and food deprived some what.

amongst all the madness I have been steaming ahead with my own explorations. I have taken my time through the discovery series of hemi.syn. I have been able to get quite relaxed and feel vibrations, but nothing strong enough to encompass my whole body and send me on my way so too speak. Dreaming has been interesting. So much of my life I have thought of dreaming as haphazard events, vague, dull and somewhat strange. Yet now I am fully aware that I dream every night. Dreams are often colourful, spectacular events that I look forward to.

Ok so for something interesting. Last night my sleep was interrupted at around 5:30 am by the sound of a buzzing mosquito. I am a notorious mosquito magnet so the mere sound of one at night requires me to get up and hunt it down or suffer a face full of itchy bumps the following morning. My fiancé grumbled as I started swinging whatever was handy at this pesky insect. So finally the mosquito wins and I go to bed. I decide to do a free flow discovery tape to send me on my way. Tape was ok, felt vibrations but nothing unusual. Fall asleep. Start to dream. This is where it gets great.

I am dreaming that I am asleep in bed, next to my fiance, but in the house that I grew up in. I dream that I am on my back with one leg bent and knee sticking up. I feel in the dream that I am uncovered by the blanket. I then get massive vibrations and total numbness of my body (yet I am still in this dream in my old house) I start thinking fantastic I am going to get out of my body....but oh no my knee is raised and bent, and I am uncovered by a blanket....I must get this leg down and blanket over me before I leave my body (don’t understand the logic now but yeah I was sleepy). So I begin my struggle to get my leg down. How can I put this....it felt like I was moving through ¾ set concrete.....at the same time I am trying to deal with these vibrations and relishing the opportunity to leave. I then wake/snap out of my dream and find myself in my real bed, leg bent and raised, and uncovered by my blanket with the vibrations of my body quickly fading. I then curse a little at the missed opportunity and later drift off to sleep. The big vibrations came back again another 2 or 3 times, each time ending with me tossing or turning in bed and shaking them off. It felt like my astral body was set on leaving last night. I will experiment using the tapes through the middle of the night so see if that was the catalyst.

What I found most interesting during this experience was that I was dreaming of sleeping when I had the biggest of last nights partial separations.  Has this occurred to anyone else before. My apologies if I have not clearly explained it for it was rather bizarre.

Anyway best wishes to the entire forum

Hi Peter. I don't recall dreaming I was asleep but have read a number of accounts of the false awakening. I theorize theres an awareness body slightly discoincided with the physical body during the false awakening. in some of these accounts the person will switch from the state several times in one night as if they are getting used to the state or experimenting.
hold on :) I do remember something similar; it was in 2001. I distinctly remember turning over in bed and all those sensations associated with the effort of turning in bed while sleeping. I then opened my eyes and I was still in my former position and I asked myself, didn't I just turn over already? then I smiled and I knew it was my astral body had done it. it has been said we all discoincide at night or sometimes we get lucky enough to be traveling away (back in time or forward in time) to former abodes such as you did. maybe you used to try to astral travel when you were small. I did a few when I was small. as far as actually being conscious of moving away from the physical body I've only accomplished this a few times..generally I found I must set a strong intention to find out something important or I'm grounded like a motor humming in 3rd gear with the parking brake set! :-X

greetings laffingrain,

Appreciate the reply. It was a very strange night. Dreaming of sleeping and having the start of an obe and then awaking to the experience of separating was rather interesting. I think you are right about requiring the intent to leave ones body. The day this happened to me I had an intuitive feeling that on that day progress would be made on having my first full separation. Therefore I will continue to do my best to convince my subconscious that it is in our best interests to pack our bags and release the hand brake so I can go for a drive ;D

take care
Peter
