This afternoon, I decided that I wanted to try astral projection/have an OBE, so I went to lie down in bed. I’ve read that when one wants to attempt astral projection, one should not cover oneself with a blanket, but I covered myself from head to toe in my blanket anyway.
As I felt my body going into complete sleep mode, I knew it was time to tell my brain “I’m awake”, so that was what I did. Then I heard buzzing, and felt my bed vibrate after the buzzing went away. I’m still not sure if what happened next was a dream or something else.
I’ve read that sometimes if you’re going to sleep/in between consciousness and sleep and you feel your bed shaking, it’s actually your spirit trying to roll out of your body. I’ve felt that many times before but each time it happened, I’d wake up, freak out and tell myself to go to sleep but that was because I didn’t know what was actually going on. This time I knew.
I felt my spirit roll out of the right side of my body, then I crawled towards my desk (which is right in front of my bed), underneath the blanket. I guess the reason why you shouldn’t cover yourself in a blanket is because you’ll be confined in that little space, so lesson learnt. Anyway, it was a super slow crawl and the blanket felt really heavy on top of me. All I could see was the floral pattern on my blanket and I was crawling towards my desk so I could reach the door (right beside my desk) and get out of the room, but I couldn’t because of the blanket. I couldn’t get the blanket off me so I told myself to get back into my body so I could get the blanket off. I didn’t even manage to get to my desk; only the edge of my bed.
I “got back into my body”, opened my eyes, but I couldn’t move my arms, I couldn’t move at all. I opened and closed my eyes three times and tried to move but I couldn’t. All I saw was blanket. I wasn’t sure what was going on, so I just kept telling myself to wake up wake up wake up because if I were really awake, I’d be able to move. Then I woke up for real and got the blanket off me.
