...For me
I'll start from the beginning...
Around 3-4 I was chatting with LucidOne... we were mostly just talking about dreams, and duality, intent, etc...
I experienced a line of synchronicites that were to obvious to miss...
I said farewell to LucidOne and told him that I needed to get something done...
So then I proceeded to go straight to my room and lie down.
My ego remained in the drivers seat for awhile... then I found myself in a few strange dreams, which I can't recall right now...
I woke back up a few times, but without opening my eyes... and I could still see the room... and I knew instinctivly that it was a good time to start experiementing...
So i tried to imagine seeing the whole house and yard... I got a few flashes of outside perspectives.
I fell back asleep
Soon enough I found myself across the river at eagle point park... and I had the feeling I was supposed to meet someone... but no one was there except a car that was parked, oddly enough, next to an off-limits path going into the woods and down to the river...
I start going down the path... then faster, and faster AND FASTER and then... I became more lucid than I have ever been before
I was back in my bed with my eyes closed... I could still see my room but there was a mirror that was on the wall but beginning to creep onto the ceiling above my bed.. that's not really there but I didn't think of that. I thought "A mirror... that is how I can get out of here" or something like that.
I felt an incredible flow of energy... similar to my other lucid experiences... but this was beyond that... this was about to be my first REAL out of body experience without the use of drugs.

And what do you know... my legs start to float up off the bed...
Just my legs... and then my torso... and at this point my legs were pointing directly up... but my shoulders and arms and my head stayed planted firmy to the bed...
There was a bit of a struggle... I was so in awe that my bottom was floating and I couldn't even think about my top at this point...
My eyes snapped open... I recapped the experience to make sure I wasn't tricking myself... I wasn't.. it happened.
I closed my eyes and tried to picture the mirror and the room and my legs floating off the bed... didn't get anywhere for a few minutes.
I decided I probably wasn't going to be able to do it again right now and I got up.

So that's it.... I'm frickin ecstatic though... that was the closest I've ever come to an OBE on intent alone.

Does anyone else have these mirrors? or does anyone else begin by picturing going down a path faster and faster or flying?

How do I get the rest of my body to float when my legs start floating and it seems impossible to get my head off the pillow?

Should I be happier than I've been in months that I finally almost did astral projection?
ANd wait, I need clarification........ IS THERE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN OBE AND ASTRAL PROJECTION?
