The Malleable Light

Last night I was feeling very tired. This is mostly because I have been working my day job plus staying up late studying and getting my web programming business going. I wasn’t expecting or trying to have an OOBE or a lucid dream last night, I was simply trying to get a good night’s rest.

I fell asleep listening to Electric Light Orchestra – Out of the Blue and then woke back up a few minutes later choking after sucking some saliva down my windpipe. What a horrible feeling it is to wake up gasping for air but it seems to happen to me frequently. I fell back asleep after this and didn’t wake back up.

I don’t remember much of my dreams last night but at some point I found myself in a dream laying in my bed trying to fall asleep. I remember trying to get comfortable but couldn’t. I then felt someone tucking me in. I am not sure who it was but as they tucked me in I became extremely relaxed and then instinctively went for an exit technique. I felt myself sink down into the bed and then I drifted out of the bed an into a upright position standing in the doorway leading out of my bedroom.

I walked down the hallway and then down the stairs to the first floor of our apartment. When I got to the bottom of the stairs I started thinking about whether or not I was awake or asleep so I tried the wall test by attempting to stick my foot though the wall next to the door that leads out of the apartment. The wall seemed pretty solid to me so I figured that I might be awake. I decided to head outside and see if things out there matched reality.

I walked out the door and noticed that things looked and felt real but the outside area did not match what’s really in front of my apartment. It’s hard to explain this and you have to experience an OOBE or lucid dream to understand. Even when things don’t match reality, it’s hard to convince yourself that it’s not reality. The reason for this is how vivid the experience usually is. There is not a difference as far as senses go between being awake or being lucid or in an OOBE. The only clues that you have to go on are reality fluctuations. Even though I normally know that I am not at my real house, the experience itself is very real and normally I am not asking “Is this real?”, I am asking “Where the hell am I?”.

When I waked out of the apartment I found myself standing on a large elevated concrete porch under a white aluminum awning. I was in an urban neighborhood and there was a road directly in front of the house and there were houses on either side of the road about 30 ft apart from each other.

I walked down the stairs and out into the street and looked to my left and noticed a man about 100 yards away walking down the street towards me. It was at this point that I noticed that my clothes had disappeared so I ran back up the porch stairs and ducked out of view. I reality fluctuation happened again and my clothes were back. I wanted to test the environment so I jumped up in the air and rather than falling back to the ground I hovered about 2 ft off the ground. seeing that I was able to fly I decided to explore the neighborhood from the air.

I floated down the stairs and this time turned right and headed down the street. I traveled several houses down and noticed that on the left there was a house with a carport and under it were about 5 or 6 women. I went over and said hi or something that I don’t remember and they started being snobbish. I started becoming too aware at this point and felt the environment around me begin to degrade and a few seconds later found myself back in my normal awareness awake in bed.

I don’t know if this was a lucid dream or an OOBE but overall it was a cool experience. Maybe next time something more trippy will happen.

As my lack of posts shows, I do not strive to project like my husband, David, does. I have known of such experiences but never really had the curiosity that my other half has in the subject. Even if I did, I think my mom duties would keep me from really becoming fully engaged in striving for achieving going out of body. I am more in the frame of mind that “if it happens , it happens..If not then I won’t be disappointed”

This morning I was not intending to try to go out of body. It was the last thing on my mind. I was more concerned with how long my 4 year old was going to sleep and the laundry I was going to have to start once I got up from bed. I woke up with David’s alarm clock and drifted back to sleep for some time. I awoke again some 45 minutes later and laid in bed checking my email and surfing the net on my I-phone as my daughter slept next to me in her bed. David came into the room and said goodbye to me before he headed to work and I continued to surf the net. I grew bored and a bit sleepy so I laid my head back down and found a comfortable spot to drift off. I am 24 weeks pregnant with our first son and so I fell asleep to feeling his kicks and movements. As I drifted off to sleep, I had a feeling I was going into sleep paralysis because I got a very similar sensation of the inability to keep my eyelids open no matter how much I tried. Its very similar to the feeling of trying to keep your eyes open as anesthesia is beginning to take its effect before you go under for surgery. The only difference is that your mind stays awake and aware of what is going on where as when under anesthesia, you just black out for what seems like a second and then your awake again.

As I lay there, I began to realize I could feel my child’s movements fade away. He was still active but its as if they just became lighter and lighter as I began to feel the vibrations come over me. I thought to myself ” Oh I know what this is…I am not gonna chicken out like I did last time!” Last time being my other post from back in April of 2009.

As the vibrational state came over me, I said to myself “I am going out of body” and repeated that about three times. Suddenly I heard myself take a deep, deep, breath of air and as the air filled my lungs, I felt myself float up. It was as if my lungs being filled with air were acting as helium balloons lifting me up and out. Right at that time, I heard a voice very clearly say to me ” I see France”. I also heard a man’s voice but could not make out what he said. I did not understand what “I see France” meant so as I tried to gain better sight, the motherly part of me took over. I heard my daughter stir and move and then I switched to what I can only assume was dream mode. I dreamed my daughter sat up in bed and was talking to me…I knew I was dreaming and tried to gain control back of reality but failed. I struggled to wake up and began to wiggle my fingers to wake myself up. Just then, my son gave me a good kick as if to say ” Hey mom wake up!” and that did it. I was back in my body and fully awake, only to see that I had been right to assume I was in a dream state when I imagined my daughter awake and sitting up. She was still fast asleep in the same position she was when I had drifted off to sleep.

All in all, it was pretty interesting and I am glad I got a little bit further then I did last time. I was able to at least get up and out of my body even if it was just for a short few seconds to a minute. Maybe in another 10 months, I will get a bit closer. Then again, I will have a 6 month old so I will just be thankful to get a whole night’s sleep, projecting or no projecting!

Hi All, long time since logging in. I’ve been trying to get the time but busy doing other things..

Over January & February I found a substantial part of my dream memories were of an emotional nature. Dreams that were very symbolic, communicative and sometimes directly healing. In the past month and a half I’ve had about three experiences I wanted to report.

The first I considered an OBE. I woke due to my 10mth old and was awake with her for somewhere around 1-2hrs. Her mother woke and said “Why don’t you go back to bed?”.. My Mrs. has trouble going back to sleep if she gets woken but not I

So I trotted off to bed and thought I would meditate lying down to help me get back to sleep & because I felt like meditating

After a while (maybe 20-30mins) of Anapanna meditation I felt an indescript feeling that i could only relate as a familiar pre-OBE feeling. I then shifted focus to my body and there was a general feeling of something but definately no vibrations of any strength. I then went back to Anapanna as I had no intention of projecting. Before I knew it I was asleep and found myself in the downstairs of my house. Because this happened about two weeks ago much of the detail is gone from memory but I found myself suggesting to myself that I was having an OBE. I was talking to people telling them i was having an OBE. I remember this woman I was talking to was suggesting, “No, No. You’re not having an OBE you’re high on Marijuana”.. I use to smoke the stuff so was then a little unsure.. I KNEW absolutely I was in an altered state of reality and felt very light and free and thought “No, I’m not high I’m in an OBE”.. The theme downstairs was that it was my nextdoor neighbours birthday.. The interesting thing about this is after I woke I asked my Mrs. if she knew when the neighbours birthday was, she said “I know he’s a Pisces (sun sign) so it must be soon”. I saw him a day or two later and asked him and it turns out it’s in early March.. cool huh!! Much of the rest of the experience is in fragments except for a part where someone else was attempting to convince me I had been smoking marijuana”.. I was thinking “I sort of hope not”.. Then I felt what I was experiencing..and it was so much nicer than any marijuana high i have ever experienced (and thats heaps) I was convinced that I was OBE and while in OBE thought to myself “People wish they felt like I do now when they get high”.. then I wondered, “Is this what people are hoping they are going to be experiencing when getting high?”.. I wonder…

There was one time in this OBE that I considered shifting back to my body to prove to myself that i was OBE.. Just the mere thought of doing that produced a feeling in my astral body that made me aware that my physical body was indeed asleep in bed with strong vibes .. I knew I was OBE by this feeling and decided to stay.. I believe by going back to my body consciously I would have retained better memories but it was so nice to be out and i could feel i could sustain it so i played the staying out game

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

One other thing that happened was fairly unusual for me.. I had an alien come to me in what i describe as a vsion (while sleeping) and it said “We are coming”… This alien was reptilian to look at (though never seen one before, not even a drawing) with green skin and scales. It (he) was short.. Maybe 5′2″ tall and had very broad shoulders very little neck… It’s manner was urgent though friendly, it seemed like it was warning me so I’m not so surprised or fearful when they come. It felt like it (they) almost HAD to come to Earth,like they (it) had very little choice… Although I believe Alien beings most very likely exist (due mainly to the masive expanse of galaxy & universe out there) – I have never spent much time thinking that they would be coming to Earth and even less time that they would come in a form/manner that would allow them the be visible to us… Over December/January I was reading an e-book by Tayesin from Astral Pulse which speaks a lot about UFO’s Aliens and the like, so not sure how much this influenced this encounter.. Maybe it just allowed me to open up to allow this being to contact me, but who knows?

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

The last experience I consider a very Lucid Dream.. the main theme in it was me practicing my flying skills.. Couple of interesting things to note here.. 1. Spent most of this flying lesson in the car driving position (like sitting in the car seat).. It was quite fun

More importantly I note that 2. This experience (considered an LD) was much more colourful and vivid than the experience I called an OBE earlier.. The main differences & why I categorise them differently is I had much more awareness in the OBE.. In the OBE I believed that I was OBE.. I’m sure from the feeling I got, if I did try to move back to my physical body I am SURE I would have ended up in my bed with vibes all over my body.. In the LD I felt like I was dreaming.. I was aware I was dreaming but had no awareness of my physical body or any desire to go back and no desire to do anything else but fly…

I hope something here may help someone in some way,

Thank you,

Dean K

As far as I’m aware this mornings adventures play out in the following order..

It starts with a dream of my Naturopathy Graduation Party (which I’ve already had) but in the dream it is a much ‘darker’ party.. not much to mention here…

following this I am dreaming I am following my daughter through the stars.. It’s like I’m following her around like I might do in waking life just to make sure she stays safe.. When I awaken I wonder if this has any reference to the possibility of her incarnating on planets and me being her father or parent in past and possibly future lifetimes..

While still in the stars (dream) I begin to become more aware especially after I get this quite strong feeling suggesting to me -> “You are about to have an OBE”.. I figured this to be true and made some mental preparation for the next part of the process.. At this stage I wasn’t aware of my physical body, any vibrations or even where I was located anymore.. I then felt the familiar sensation of my astral body separating from my physical body… My legs were being pulled up and over my head, which is an exit stratergy I’ve never even thought of using, now it was happening to me.. It felt OK, so I went with it..

Next I find myself in my parents house (where I grew up).. I can still feel the sensation of the separation, and my legs being pulled over and behind my head.. When out I figured I was having an OBE so I ran out of the bedroom, past my Dad who was sitting in the kitchen, and went to jump off the veranda but quickly thought to myself “What if I’m actually awake and go SPLAT on the ground (after I jump from this 12ft high veranda)”.. Just in case, as I pass the door on my way to the veranda I tap the door frame with my hand – it feels hard. “I’m possibly in physical reality?”, i wonder.. I think “No, this is an OBE and I remember the separation from my body”.. I then aim to test reality and make my way for another room that has quite a big window in it, I jump out of this window and fly a little, but not real well, and land on the ground in the backyard about 50m away (my parents live on a farm).. As soon as I hit the ground my Mum has followed me outside and sees me, but almost as soon as I hit the ground I rocket up into the air at tremendous speed and watch the roof of the house become smaller and smaller as I fly high up into the air and away from the Earth…

Just then I begin getting a call back to my body.. I try to fight it but I haven’t got enough control and I find myself waking up in bed with a kind of “Damn it, I knew I was OBE” type feeling.. I couldn’t go back and was now awake..

In this experience although I had a fair amount of awareness I did find myself questioning myself as to whether I was in OBE or awake. I also jumped through a window that should have had fly screen on it but didn’t I consider the experience at my parents house an OBE as I had some familiar exit sensations and was pre-warned but apart from that it felt very much like a lucid dream. This further confirms that the separation between the two experiences is minute and only possibly defined by the individual’s experience. Although the RTZ (Real Time Zone) talked about by Robert Bruce may feel and react differently. As yet I don’t know,

Peace

I hope this post doesn’t make Emmy jealous, but for the sake of consciousness research I must write.

I fell asleep at around 11:30 PM last night and as I fell asleep I tried to clear my mind by observing thoughts without becoming attached to them. Around 5 AM I woke up and ran to the bathroom and then came back to bed and began trying the same techniques in an attempt to astral project. I was tired and my mind was not really coherent so I started trying to push thoughts away. I realized what I was doing and then began allowing my thoughts to drift in without resistance. I was surprised at some of the random thoughts that were entering my mind.  For example a fleeting thought of a specific trip to McDonald’s with my Dad when I was a small child entered my head. These thoughts came and went for 10 minutes or so and during this time frame vibrations were felt several times.

Around 5:30 AM I felt the sensation of myself being bouncing around inside my body. I knew what this was because it’s happened before so I envisioned myself violently bouncing back and forth and within couple of seconds I felt a release and I floated up into the ceiling and things went completely black. I suspected that I was stuck in the ceiling so I thought about standing in my backyard and as I did I felt movement as I drifted from the roof area of my house down into the backyard.

While I was standing in the yard I had full waking consciousness. I knew my name, address etc. I knew that I was either asleep, in some altered state of consciousness or in another reality. I stood there for a minute and let it all soak in. My quality of perception was very good this time and the quality of vision and my senses was superb, equal to or better than waking life.

I looked around and the first thing that came to mind was that I needed to validate and collect evidence. This is where reality fluctuations came into play. I had the idea of floating over to my neighbors house and looking around inside. The idea was that if I ever go inside her house I might be able to identify something I saw in this state. I probably need to rethink my methods of validation.

I floated over to this window that doesn’t really exist in waking life (reality fluctuation) and I pressed my head against the screen in the window (another reality fluctuation, it’s too cold for open windows). Inside I could see her getting a small girl ready for school. She glanced over in my direction at one point but she didn’t seem to notice me there. I was at the window for about a minute and then things shifted.

I found myself standing on the front porch of a house with her on the street I grew up on as a child. She was pissing off the front porch in an attempt to put out a cigarette that she had just thrown on the ground. This was all to funny for me so I asked her if she could see me? She nodded and said yes.  I laughed out loud and asked her “You know you are in my dream, right?”. She didn’t really answer, either she was a dream character or she was just drifting in unconsciousness, it’s hard to say.

She took off running towards the house where my dad lives and jumped into this truck that I have never seen before. This is the part Emmy will like. I jumped in behind her and asked her if she wanted to have sex just to see how she would respond. She agreed to this, but as we started undressing darkness faded in and I found myself back in bed. I question my level of lucidity at this point because I know that I would not cheat in waking life.

I lost lucidity because in my mind I really thought I was awake, but I should have known that I wasn’t because someone out back was mowing the lawn. It’s unlikely that someone would be mowing the lawn at this time of year and at this time of morning. Still this wasn’t enough to make me realize that I was sleeping and the dream continued for about another hour before I finally woke up and wrote this.

The conclusion here is that I was either in the RTZ with extreme reality fluctuations or I was having a lucid dream. Either way I had full waking consciousness. Emmy, you have my permission to have dream sex with anyone that you want.

I have not been sticking to my commitment to write a bi-weekly progress report so I will just do a monthly report instead, unless I am seeing a lot of activity and then I will just let the posts speak for themselves. I continuously try to consciously induce the out of body state but as I have stated so many times in the past, being busy in waking life puts a damper on any real progress. I have been meditating every night using a modified Shamatha meditation technique where I am actually laying down rather than sitting up and I have been reading Astral Dynamics and doing energy work.

The meditation is interesting but I think that laying down while meditating is probably not the best idea because I end up drifting off to sleep. I have been experiencing rushing noises right before drifting off that can only be described as the noise you might hear on a radio when the dial is between stations. I posted a video Rushing Noises / Sleep Paralysis Sounds in the video section that somewhat represents what I hear only mine are much shorter in quick bursts that fade in and out.

Astral Dynamics is great and is the best OBE guide available in my opinion. I have finally decided to just read the book rather than stopping when I don’t feel like I and progressing with certain exercises. The book states that one must understand tactile imaging and be able put it into practice to get the most out of the book however if I never read the book because I pause at every hurdle then I know for sure I will not get anything out of the book . I was able to get my hands on a wonderful Astral Dynamics overview Robert Bruce On OBEs thanks to ubikmonroe. I highly recommend this book and even if you don’t buy in to any of this, it’s a trip and worth the read.

That’s all for now. Thanks for dropping in and reading and I wish you the best of luck in your spiritual endeavors.

Firstly I want to again thank David for helping on this quest as I do not know if I would be projecting already if not for joining the malleable light  I’ve had a few minor events lately but nothing worth of mention till now..

An hours worth of continuous projections you ask? I think I did experience this, and I’ll tell you why later. I believe I could have probably kept going longer if not for needing to remember the experience and therefore choosing to wake up before projecting when close to awake at the last stage.

This is not all fun and was a little scary at a few points but I survived and learned much about controlling the experience and how to switch environments when in a projection!!

Firstly how this occurred.. I have finished most of my university degree, only a few weeks clinic and a few weeks external hours left.. My Mrs and I decided it was time to eliminate our 6 1/2 months child’s nighttime breastfeed.. Other than she’s old enough to not need it, it’s just making us – particularly my Mrs too tired as there may be more than one feed… Anyway.. tonight/this morning was the first day we eliminated the feed.. so my Mrs tried to put her to sleep when she woke around 3am, then me, then both of us (while we chatted with the light on) then the Mrs again. After about 1 1/2hrs (she’s quite stubborn) she fell asleep then us.. basically we were up for quite a while, which I believe helped bring on this experience.

It felt like moments.. soon after laying down (though I must have been asleep so can’t be sure – but) after what felt like a continuous stream of consciousness – I began to feel vibrations then felt and heard my ears popping (which I’d never experienced before).. I knew what was happening so went with it.. My astral body almost moved itself out of my physical – I didn’t even have to try – I just went with it. The aim was to roll out of bed, out and onto the floor…

When I landed on the floor I couldn’t move – the room was dark and my vision poor – Then I could feel someone on top of me. “Great!” I thought as I thought it may be my Mrs. on top of me and she was in the mood for some astral sex – i like that! 

I still couldn’t see well and aimed for some more vision.. I could see as if through a small slit – it could be my Mrs. but not sure.. Then my mind questioned “What if it is not my Mrs. and its something more sinister?”… I had some minor fear… I asked to see who it REALLY was… I was now enjoying the experience less as not only could I NOT MOVE.. it may not really be my Mrs. on top of me!!

I wondered about dark entities I had read about and wondered if when I looked that I would see a vampire or similar just about to bite down on my neck instead of my Mrs..

When I got more clarity it was still dark (it was mid-morning) and who I saw was the Gene Simmons character from the 70’s band KISS though with a tiny body and big (but not full sized, head). After just now looking on the net it shows that his character was “the demon” so not sure what that says… anyway I started to feel fear again but instead of panicking I thought “I do not want this to be happening” and tried my best to send this being some love and light and I was free!!

The scene changed and I felt like I was projecting again.. I will say here that for almost every time except one (later) – each time the scene changes I either do it deliberately by spinning/twisting turning or similar or I feel like I’m back in my body and doing the last part of the projection again with stepping my legs out etc…

As said I had multiple experiences.. the first few were projecting into the room I was sleeping in.. after the idea from the first experience – having sex with my Mrs was the best thing I could think of now, which IS very nice, and that became my goal as she was in the first few projections.. strange alterations in the scene etc ie. Her character changing into other characters, which I even tried to stop, meant I never got very far with that goal. (The character changed shape but the rest of the scene was stable which was interesting – different than in my dreams).

Sometimes I projected into the room and it was dark, sometimes a light would be on.. one time I turned the light on (and it worked)… – usually if I projected or spun and altered the scene and it was very dark I projected/spun again as I didn’t want to project into the dark after my experience with the KISS character..

Often I was flying.. In the most interesting group of events I projected into the bedroom, flew outside and it was daytime… I figured I was in the area where I lived.. I thought about validating the projection experience so looked around closely for markers and areas I could recognise later… In one particular direction I noted I flew higher over a little hill and almost on the top of this rise nested amongst the houses was a frangipani tree (I view this our Mine/Mrs. flower – another story) and just past that another plant which I though I would recognise in it’s location/proximity to the frangipani but can’t remember the type now… just past those to the right was a house with a large flag hung over it’s brown painted wooden fence…  the flag was on it’s side, blue and with a half moon crescent (laying on it’s back) and some other symbols (all in white) .. most which I can’t remember now.

Then I remember projecting here again later (so I think this exists somewhere).. I took the same flight path past the same plants and eventually found my way into a house/barn/room. There were animals.. pigs (small ones).. geese or similar and others.. I had floated in here and a few in this room weren’t too happy.. I wasn’t supposed to be here.. The person most bothered by my presence looked like a man but had a face that resembled a pig (in ways without the pig nose) – I took this as the person in control of these animals – I noted a few other ‘people’ that had faces like animals – they didn’t seem like good people .. I didn’t want to bother anyone too much so decided to leave through a different entrance. I flew past a few beings that did the old “wooo..” ghost noise but I didn’t take too much notice and kept going…

In one other scene I wanted to visit my parents (they live 7hrs drive away)…  one time earlier I had seen some of my family (my Mum with my son and Mrs. etc) but not my Dad, and he was the main one I wanted to see.. I projected again and when outside my current house I saw the same things.. The rise of a small hill with houses, the frangipani etc.. I figured I needed to travel in the general direction of north to find my parents and once I’d established that direction I flew off – actually this is were I ran into the pig man house I think..-

Anyway the way I appeared at my parent’s house was different. The conscious stream was not as strong.. It was sort of like I was seeing dark then opened my eyes, and I saw myself flying towards my parent’s house.. My daughter (6 1/2 mths) eventually appears there and I’m carrying her while standing at the top of the stairs. I want to give her an experience of flying so I jump off the stairs (hopefully I’m in the astral), fall for a little (which was a bit scary) and then manage to fly while carrying her…  she rolls over while in my arms and we can again see the outside of my parent’s house.. I fly over and land on the steps and my Dad is there.. it now seems that I somehow hit my daughters head on something – maybe while flying – (though i didn’t) – and she had a little bruise on her head that my Dad helped me attend to..

That’s about the main bits. It was much more amazing than it reads. The feelings. The realness. The people. The flying:)… The continuous projections and the spinning was also fantastic.. It was truly awesome.. The only real scary bit was with the Gene Simmons character at the start.. otherwise this was the most cool projection experience I have had to date…

I believe most of 4:30-5:30am this morning was spent projecting..

The mentioned area outside my house I was visiting might be like what I experienced on some level as it was repeatable… Lets see if anything can be used for validation.. Pity I won’t be flying around my neighborhood in real life anytime soon to find out!!

Peace,

Dean

I woke up early this morning at 4 AM and per the lucidology videos and for the first time ever I had enough clarity to consciously wake up and keep perfectly still. Nicholas Newport claims that if a person is able to wake up without moving then they should be able to slip right back into sleep, the trance state or an OBE. Before I woke I had been dreaming that I was back in my childhood bedroom that I had shared with my two brothers growing up. In the dream they are both sleeping in the same bed across from me and but they were grown and for some reason were annoying the crap out of me.

I laid in the bed across from them in the dream trying to fall asleep “while already sleeping” and suddenly I woke up. Perhaps it was the fact that I was dreaming of falling asleep that prevented me from moving when I woke, but I made a conscious decision not to move for the sole purpose of attempting an OBE.

I recall laying in my real bed thinking mostly about staying perfectly still and then 5 seconds later the vibrations hit and I found myself in sleep paralysis. Almost instantly I was back in my dream, however I was now lucid and I knew what was going on. Strangely enough, at the same time I was seeing my current bedroom too. I was not flipping back an forth between dream state and waking consciousness, It seems that I was actually thinking in duality between my dreaming consciousness and my expanded ethereal consciousness.

A few seconds later I noticed in my dream state that the bed sheets where not completely coving my back which caused me to feel unprotected and fear set in. My consciousness then shifted to my dream state and I remember being in paralysis trying to break free by swinging my arms back and forth over my chest. My consciousness suddenly shifted back to my ethereal body and my dream body at the same time and I could see my dream arms sitting still while another set of arms were moving back and forth across my chest passing through my dream arms. I think that the moving arms were perhaps my real time double’s arms.

I never woke up but instead the vibrations stopped and I went straight back into the dream and lost real time consciousness. The fear of not being covered up in the dream caused an abrupt end to the experience. It seems to me that I was conscious on 3 different levels during the experience. I was seeing my dream, my real room and my real time arms moving pretty much all at the same time. I think that if I could have continued the experience and kept the fear at bay, my real time body, including the arms that were moving, would have exited and I may or may not have remembered the OBE. Perhaps the strong fear emotion was the reason I remembered any of it. This also suggest that when I woke up, any projected doubles must have been reeled in at that moment.

You can read more about dual consciousness “mind split” by reading Astral Dynamics by Robert Bruce.
