561-OB: Hugging my son

 

7:51 am

I have been doing mindfulness of abdominal breathing and savouring the moment.

Lying on my right, I suddenly realized that I'm in a phase state.

And I didn't have to rub my hands or fingers straight away. I just moved my hands, and the phantom fingers, the phantom arms, were moving quite fast in front of me—easily, effortlessly. I just allowed them, effortlessly. I took my time and rested in it.

And I think I clapped them—clapped my hands together—and I was very glad.

I immediately pivoted around and turned to face my pillow. I slapped my hands down on the pillow and was surprised at how easy it was.

I then immediately stood up on the floor of my bedroom. Everything happened just by intention—purely mind-driven.

And I walked towards the door. It was dark. I turned the door handle, opened the door, and walked out into the living room.

It was already bright, and there was color. It was a festive mood.

Little Darren was standing in the kitchen. He turned and looked at me. He was very young at the time, maybe seven or eight years old, and he looked plump.

He ran towards me, happy to see me.

And there was a lot of furniture in the living room. On the left, little Adrian, also little at the time, turned to look at me.

And I think I touched Adrian. I was surprised that I could feel the solidity of his physical form.

Darren ran to me and hugged me, and I could feel his physical form as well.

And as I turned to continue walking, I felt that the dream transitioned into imagination only, and I was already out of the dream.

560-OB: Invisible to wife

 

7:42 am

I woke up in the early morning, felt the phase state, and then I yielded to the out-of-body experience.

And earlier, all the while I was practicing, I was savoring the moment and also doing abdominal breathing, based on Peter Doobinin's The Skill of Pleasure book—doing vitakka and vicara.

I knew that it was a phase state, and I took my time confidently, slowly, not hurrying.

I just used the power of intention to move my hands, my extra limbs—hands—here and there, and I enjoyed it.

And then I imagined that I had stood up upright, and my body rotated into mid-air and righted itself.

I was in a room, my bedroom, and my wife was still sleeping in bed. It was dark.

And then I became upright, and then I stood on the floor of my bedroom.

I then peered at my palms, my left and right palms, to bring in light and color. And after a few seconds, the light and color came into the room, and I could see everything clearly.

It was so real.

And on my left, there was a tissue box on the table, and I touched it. And I was amazed at how real it was. It was like I was actually there. That was what I thought to myself.

I was quite happy about this and quite glad.

I then walked on the floor of the bedroom towards the door of my bedroom. And then, when I was near there, I turned on the switch on the right side of the door and turned on the light.

And then my wife got up from bed and started to walk around. And to her, I was still sleeping in bed.

And then she walked past me and could not see me.

I touched her shoulder, and I was amazed that I could actually feel it. I could feel her shoulder.

I was expecting my hand to go through her physical form, but I was surprised that it didn't. It actually touched her physical form, and I could feel it clearly.

And she was walking around like that.

And then I crouched down low on the floor so that I wouldn't bump into her again. And then, as she walked past, I touched her leg, her left knee, and I think she felt it.

And she was very surprised. She couldn't see me, but she could feel me touching her left knee. So I think she was trying to look around for me.

I was just beneath her, crouching down on the floor, but she couldn't see me. I was invisible.

And slowly, I crawled away from her towards her left to avoid her bumping into me. And she was still looking around for me.

And then the dream faded.

This is one of the most realistic out-of-body experiences that I've ever experienced.

559-OB: Jumping through window

 

9:01 am

I also did the savour-the-moment technique.

And then I found myself in the early morning phase state. I tried to rub my fingers and palms. But before that, I tried to induce the out-of-body experience and found that my right hand was flapping up and down.

And I took advantage of that. While it was flapping up and down, I rubbed the fingers of my right hand into the movement. I then rubbed the other fingers of the left hand. And then I rubbed my palms together. And then I rubbed my forearms, forearms.

And then, well, I also rubbed the bed, the mattress. And then I imagined that I was going to stand up on the floor of my bedroom. And eventually, my whole body lifted and stood up on the floor of my bedroom.

I then turned to the left, facing the curtain of my bedroom.

And I imagined opening the curtain. And there was the outdoor view. I jumped through the window.

I fell down all the way to the bottom, and I crashed into the playground area grass. I put my hands and dugged into the ground, and I could feel the sands clearly.

I tried to stand up and walk around. It was not clear, and the dream faded.

558-OB: Balcony of condo

 

8:58 am

I have been practicing savoring the moment.

And then I was having light dreams. And I dreamt that there was a boy, one of my young sons. He was looking at the floor very closely, like as though he was doing peering. And he was in a room.

And then I realized that peering is a technique. And then I became lucid. And I was, like, half awake, half asleep. And I felt the early morning phase state.

And I tried to induce the out-of-body experience. So I felt my—imagined my palms, my fingers rubbing—and I felt them. And I again managed to feel my palms rubbing as well. And I savored the moment as well.

And then that one thing led to another. And I was rubbing the mattress of my bed, slowly taking my time, savoring the moment, and then standing up in my bedroom of N-Park.

I then touched the curtain on my left and walked all the way to my bedroom door while savoring the moment. And then, touching the left wall, then touching the table on the right, touching the door of my bathroom and looking at it, touching my bedroom door and looking at it, feeling the solidity.

I held the door handle of my bedroom door, opened the door, and walked out into the living room. I looked at my palms, peering, trying to get the light color to come in.

Then I turned left and walked towards the balcony. I pulled open the curtains, and light came into the hall side. And I could see clearly my balcony railing, which is quite high up. And beyond, there were the mountains.

It was a clear morning, blue skies, so beautiful, very bright and clear. And I could see houses below.

And then I turned to touch my balcony sliding door. And as I touched it, I could feel it clearly and hear myself talking: “It’s so real.”

And then I looked on the floor, and I looked at every object. I stood there, still for that moment, and talked to myself. And it’s like, “I’m really here.”

And I was like that for a while. And eventually, the dream faded.

557-LD: Fly above road junction

 

7:16 am

I have been practising joy on demand.

I was flying high above the road below, towards the junction of Sunny Point, and I could see the grass below. I then knew that I was lucid. I was having a lucid dream.

I then flew down and landed on the grass, and I could hear the sound of the grass and feel it on the soles of my feet as I walked.

As I walked on the grass like this, I saw that on the right there was a house. So I touched the wall of the house with my right hand, and I walked along it.

I wanted to go to the junction of the traffic lights, but the house extended itself. But I knew that it was fine because, in dreams, things always change whenever you look at them.

I walked like this for a while, and then I came across a group of ladies in USM. I interacted with one of them, and then the dream faded.

556-OB: Bedroom ceiling

 

6:45 am

I felt the early morning phase state, as I couldn’t sleep earlier.

Then I attempted to rub my fingers and managed to do it. I also rubbed my palms together and allowed myself to float towards the ceiling.

I imagined myself touching the ceiling. After a while, I actually felt the ceiling, really as though I were floating near the ceiling of my bedroom. I could also clearly see the rough texture of the ceiling.

With my left hand, I touched the curtain on the left and felt it clearly. I then began to drift slowly downwards, with both my palms touching objects on the wall.

As I floated down towards the ground, the dream faded.

I then wanted to record this, so I reached out for my Sony recorder and turned on the switch, but I didn’t hear anything. I wanted to test whether it was on, so I pulled down my sleeping mask and saw that there was no light on the recorder.

I wondered why and tried to turn it on again, but there was still no light. Then I saw my wife in bed, with her laptop beside her, and spoke to her.

Then I woke up for real.

It seems that it was a false awakening.

555-OB: Gurney Drive pavement

 

8:00 am

I felt the early morning phase state, and then managed to rub my fingers, rub my palms together, and then rub my forearms and face. I then rubbed the mattress and used my mind to stand on the floor of my bedroom. I managed to do it.

I then rubbed the curtain and window on the left, and made my way all the way to the bedroom door. I opened the bedroom door and looked into my living room. I walked out, and then everything was white. I could not see my living room.

I then transported myself by imagining that I was in Gurney Drive during the earlier days, many years ago. I was walking along the pavement. I used my fingers to rub the road, the pavement, and also the retaining wall on the left. After a while, the dream faded.
