546-OB: Police SUV

 

8:14 am

I took a Sleephoria before bedtime, got up to pass urine, and had difficulty going back to sleep.

I did the relax-eyes exercise and also the breathing method.

Lying on my left side, I felt like I was in a fuzzy, morning-type sleep state.

I thought, "Let's induce an out-of-body experience."

I tried to feel my left fingers rubbing, and I managed to feel them rubbing.

Then I woke up.

I gently brought my two hands together and rubbed them. Then I gently rubbed my face as well.

After that, I swung my legs over and stepped onto the floor of my bedroom. I also touched the left wall, the curtains, the right side of the bed, the bathroom area, and the mattress on the right.

I walked toward the cupboard in my bedroom and could feel my feet on the floor. As I walked, I continued touching the cupboard on the left, the bed on the right, and the floor with my hands.

When I reached the cupboard, the dream faded. I was now lying back in bed on my left side again, and I thought I would try to re-enter the dream.

For the second time, I managed to feel my left hand and fingers rubbing, as well as my right fingers rubbing. This time, I immediately stood up on the floor of my bedroom and started walking.

As I walked, I could still see nothing, but I could clearly feel my hands, and I rubbed my palms together. Even though I couldn't see anything, I continued to feel the rubbing sensation of my palms and my feet touching the floor.

The soles of both my feet could be felt clearly, and I continued to focus on the sensation of my palms rubbing together and the soles of my feet on the floor.

As I walked toward my bedroom door, I reached it, grabbed the handle, opened it, and walked out into the living room. However, I still could not see anything.

Then I tried to look at the palm of my right hand, and the world suddenly gained color and light. I could see beyond my palm, and there was light and color.

I was now outdoors, standing by the side of a road. There was a police jeep on the left. I touched the jeep, and there were other cars on the right as well.

I think there was a small grassy field in front of me.

As I continued walking, the dream faded.

545-OB: Breathtaking balcony

 

8:22 am

I took magnesium and B6 before bedtime, and I used the method of relaxing the eyeballs and breathing.

I got up past 6 o'clock, went back to bed, but couldn't sleep for a while. I continued doing the relaxed-eyeball and breathing technique.

Lying on my right side, I dreamt that I was walking in Sunnyville. It looked like a combination of N-Park and Sunnyville.

I was walking, and on my left was the building of Sunnyville or N-Park. On the right, there was a white dog. I walked past it and worried that the dog might chase me.

Then I imagined that I could teleport to my destination, towards the other end of the building. So I actually teleported and reached the other end of the building.

That was when I woke up because I realized it was a dream.

I was now in my bed, in my N-Park bedroom.

I then tried to induce an out-of-body experience. I managed to rub my hands and felt the familiar rubbery sensation.

Then I stepped onto the floor of my bedroom. I turned back to look at the bed and touched the blanket on the mattress. I imagined someone sleeping there and touched the blanket.

Then the dream faded.

But I didn't want to get up and record the dream yet, so I thought of re-entering it.

Then I was looking at some scenery, like the outside of some shops during the daytime. I touched my palms and imagined rubbing them. My hands then materialized in front of my face and started rubbing.

I was back in the out-of-body state again.

So I rubbed my hands. I rubbed my forearms and my face. I also rubbed my torso and the rest of my body and felt the familiar rubbery sensation.

Then, slowly, slowly, I put my feet on the floor of my bedroom and stood up. I could feel the floor very clearly.

I started walking and stamped my feet on the wooden floor. I could hear the sound clearly.

I proceeded to walk towards the door of my bedroom. It was the Raja Uda House bedroom.

As I walked, I told myself, "This is so real. It's a dream."

I could hear myself clearly, and I was smiling to myself because it was so realistic.

Eventually, I reached the door, but I was in no hurry to open it. I could feel the surface of the door and its solidity.

So I grabbed the handle slowly and opened it.

I walked out. It was dark.

On the left, I saw light coming out of one of the toilets, and I walked towards it. Then I turned left, and there was the staircase going downstairs. It was dark.

I put my left hand and my right hand on the banisters of the staircase and slid all the way down to the bottom.

As I slid down, I could feel the wood of the banister clearly in my hands.

When I reached the bottom, it was also very dark. I turned left and walked into the living room of the Raja Uda House downstairs.

It was dark. I couldn't see anything.

But when I looked to the right, in the distance, there was daylight. There was an opening leading outdoors, like a terrace, and beyond it was the blue sky and daylight.

So I walked towards the opening and came out onto a very large balcony.

There was a balcony railing made of marble. It was beautiful, with a traditional design.

Beyond it, I could see blue skies and clouds.

I looked down.

It was so beautiful.

I could see the sea beyond, and then the beach. Around the beach area, there were many trees, bushes, greenery, and buildings.

It was so realistic, so sharp, and crystal clear.

I was amazed by its beauty. It was breathtaking.

Then I picked up a rock, or something like a rock, and threw it down into the greenery below.

I could hear it landing.

I then turned left and walked along the balcony while scooping up earth, sand, and tiny little trees with both my palms.

I kept looking at my right and left palms repeatedly.

Then the dream faded.

544-LD: In Inti classroom

 

8:31 am

I took sleephoria before going to bed and then I got up pass urine and went back to bed.

I used the rest, relax the eyeball method and breathe to fall asleep.

And I dreamt that I was teaching in Inti College, the American Degree Program.

I was talking about assignments and I gave students two assignments to do and I was explaining the assignment.

And I explained.

And then,

suddenly realized that there was no notes of course structure given.

And I told them that I would go and check with Inti about the assignment course structure and all that.

I was outlining the details of the assignments.

As I was reading back what I told them from a sheet of paper that I wrote notes on,

I was standing in front of the class.

There were many students.

I suddenly realized that I was not wearing any pants.

And I took the sheet of paper to cover my groin.

And then I realized that I was dreaming and I became lucid.

I then walked towards the back of the classroom and I confidently say that,

Do you know that sometimes, that this is all a dream?

And then,the dream faded.

543-OB: Flying through meadow

 

8:02 am

Got up at 5 to pass urine, then couldn't get back to sleep.

So I just did the relax-eyes method again and again, patiently, for what I think was a long time.

And then I had two dreams, almost back to back.

The first one was when I felt the onset.
It could also have been like an out-of-body experience.
I felt the onset of a rising pitch of energy in the head.
And the pitch was rising, like a high-energy frequency.

And I thought, yes. I said, “Thank you, thank you.”
That was so good.

And then, since I felt this early-morning phase state, I wanted to feel the fingers rubbing, but then it fizzled out.

So I kept in the same position, not moving, and continued to relax the eyes and breathe.

And... I again felt the early-morning phase state.
And there were voices in my head talking — many, many voices — like people giving a talk or something.

And I was flying in the air.
And below me was a shaded garden area.
And I was flying through it.

And I just relaxed.
I kept telling myself, “Don’t get excited. Just be a passive observer.”

At one point, I had the urge to try to feel my hands and rub them.
But then I dismissed the idea and just enjoyed the ride.

And I was flying like this through the meadow, the garden area.
I heard voices talking all around me, and for some time it was a very pleasant experience.

And after a while, it fizzled out.

542-OB: Flying backwards

 

7:13 am

Last night, I took magnesium and B6.
I got up twice during the night, and I was still groggy and fuzzy.
Then I went back to bed. I manage to easily fall in and out of sleep using the relax eyes technique.

I had the intention of having an out-of-body experience during the wakeful state in the night. I went in and out of several light dreams, and then I found the hypnagogic state.

I managed to clap and rub my hands, and felt a familiar rubbery sensation. I also rubbed my forearms and my face as well.

I felt like, “Oh my God, let’s try to induce an out-of-body experience.”

Then I saw that everything was floating. I was flying in the air, and I could see the scenery moving very fast. I was flying backwards, and this continued for quite a while.

Only then did I realize that I was already in the dream state, so I didn’t try to induce an out-of-body experience anymore. Since I was already flying backwards, I said, “Okay, let’s continue flying backwards.” So I flew like this for quite a while.

Then I had the intention to touch the ground. Eventually, I managed to fly closer to the ground, and I landed at the junction of a road. I could touch the grass and feel the familiar grassy sensation. I also felt the surface of the road.

Then the dream faded.

541-OB: Floating above wife in bed

 

9:30 am

Whole day, I was doing the bare-awareness meditation. Throughout the day, every now and then, I would take 3 minutes of time-out meditation using the new timer. And throughout the night, I would also use it to fall asleep.

I also took the sleep supplement, Sleephoria. And Sleephoria worked. I slept very well throughout the night.

Towards morning, I woke up and had difficulty going back to sleep. I continued doing the bare-awareness meditation. I just kept doing that, and I kept going in and out of several micro-dreams.

It came to a stage where, while lying on my right side, I thought I could feel the early morning phase state slightly. Then I had the intention: let's try to induce an out-of-body experience.

I managed to feel my fingers rubbing and felt the familiar rubbery sensation. I felt both hands clapping and rubbing together. I brought them to my face and rubbed my face as well, and also rubbed my torso.

I tried to sit up and stand on the floor, but my dream body didn't obey. So I just let it deepen.

On my right, my wife was lying in bed, and I touched her. I was afraid she might wake up, so I stopped that.

I continued to hold the intention to sit up, and eventually I managed to stand on the bed and jump on it. It was early morning, and there was light coming into the bedroom. I was happy. I could jump on the bed.

I was slowly floating up into the air in the bedroom. Eventually, I allowed myself to float through the ceiling and out into the sky.

I was now floating and flying in the air. There were white clouds all around me. I could feel a slight, gentle breeze on my face.

I also spoke to myself. I said, “Wow, this is so real.” And I really heard my voice clearly. It also felt very real.

I was flying like that for a while. Then I tried to look at my palms, both palms of my hands, and peer closely at them. I saw the lines and the color of the skin.

Then I found myself back floating above my bed in my bedroom. Beyond my hands, I could see my wife in bed. She was lying down with both her legs raised in the air.

I grabbed one of her legs and tried to get nearer to her. It was a struggle at first, but I managed to get nearer and nearer. We became intimate.

And the dream faded.

540-OB: With my sons in front of lift

 

6:01 am

I've been alternating between Sleephoria and Magnesium/B6.
I have been practising bare awareness throughout the day and night to relax and fall asleep.
During the day, I do 2-minute timeout bare awareness sessions regularly using a timer.

Last night, I took Magnesium and B6 — the Magellan brand for the magnesium.
I got up to pass urine and then went back to bed.
WP also got up to get ready, as she was going to Alor Setar.

I was lying on my left side, and then I recognized the phase state.
But I heard voices in my head.
It was like a background hum or rising pitch, and it felt as though there were multiple people talking in my head.

I just let it be, and it deepened.
I practiced mindfulness — bare awareness — which is simply to watch and do nothing.

All night long, and throughout the day as well, I practiced this form of mindfulness.
Every hour, I would spend two minutes just watching.
Bare watching.
Doing nothing and observing Anicca — impermanence — and allowing everything to change by itself.
Just watching.

That also helped me sleep.

So now, as I was watching the voices in my head talking, it became very clear.
It reached a point where I could then try to induce an out-of-body experience.

I managed to rub my hands together and felt them clearly.
Then I felt the rubbery sensation.

I moved straight to the foot of my bed and stood up effortlessly on the floor of my bedroom.
I touched the mattress and also touched the side wall on the left.
Then I walked toward the bedroom door.

As I reached it, I touched the bathroom wall on the right as well.
I touched the door, opened it, and walked out into the living room.

Everything was dark.
I touched the left-side wall of the living room and continued all the way to the balcony.

I then opened the sliding balcony doors.
I could feel the latch with my fingers.
I pulled it open — left and right — and stepped out onto the balcony.

There was a glimpse of brightness outside.
It was early morning light, but not very clear.

I tried to look at my hands, and I also tried to enjoy the scenery, but I could not see much because everything was blurry.

I then turned back and walked into the living room again.
That was when I started peering at my hands and palms.

The light and color then illuminated the room, and I could suddenly see clearly — the objects in the room as well as beyond the palms of my hands.

I also peered at the lines and texture of my palms to make the light and colors become clearer.

I then walked toward the main door of the living room, opened it, and walked into the corridor leading to the metal grille gate.

I opened the metal grille, and this time it was daylight.

I then walked toward the lift, where two people were standing.
At first, everything was blurry.
I think they were children.

I reached out to touch one of them, and then I realized it was Adrian.
Beside Adrian, on his right, was little Darren.
They were both children at that time.

The lift arrived, so I walked in and invited them to come in as well.
Both Adrian and Darren entered the lift with me.

We wanted to go downstairs.
I wanted to take them downstairs.

And then the dream faded.

539-OB: Cannot remember names

 

8:26 am

I took magnesium and B6 the night before. I went to sleep, and throughout the night I had a good sleep. Throughout the morning, I also got up, pass urine and went back to bed, while maintaining focus on my nose and breathing. The focus kept me in a sleepy state. I maintained a little bit of focus there and tightened it slightly around the nose area and the eyes.

I dreamt that I was with my wife and the kids. I think we went to a hotel somewhere in the northern beach area of Penang to eat at a restaurant. While we were walking in, there was a group of ladies. One of them asked me, “By the way, are you Paul?” There were three of them.

I said, “Yes.” I just stared at them. Then they asked me, “Why do you look so blank and stare like that?” I said, “I feel embarrassed because I probably don’t remember my friends.”

Then I asked one of them on the right, “By the way, what is your name?” She walked closer to me, and then we started walking away. I asked her again, and she mentioned her name, but I can’t remember what it was.

As we were walking away, we were standing close to each other. I said, “So you must be Christina’s batch mate.” She said, “Yes, from Convent Butterworth.” I was afraid that my wife might hear it, but anyway, we walked away together.

Then we were standing close to each other on top of some kind of moving vehicle. We were moving very fast, and the wind was blowing. It felt very intimate, and that intimacy remained there for a while. Then the dream faded.

After that, I was back in bed, and I felt the morning phase state. I rubbed my fingers and hands, and immediately my dream body rotated to the left and landed. I fell onto the floor of my bedroom beside the left side of the bed.

I then touched the sides of the wall, the floor, and the mattress, and continued touching the sides of my bedroom walls. I reached the bathroom on the right and touched the wall there too.

Then I opened the bedroom door. I held the handle and pulled it open. I walked out into the living room, and as I was walking out, the dream faded.

538-LD: Five lucid dreams back to back

 

6:47 am

I took both magnesium and B6 together tonight and had five lucid dreams back-to-back—very clear. I only remember fragments of them. Night before, got up and 4:30 am and could not sleep back. So tonight could be REM-rebound.

In the first one, I found myself in a fenced-up area, standing, and suddenly became lucid. I wanted to test reality, so I pinched my nose and could still breathe. That’s when I knew I was lucid. But when I repeated the pinched-nose test, I couldn’t breathe. Somehow, expectation affected the result.

I tried to fly and think I floated a little above the ground.

In the second lucid dream, I was walking along a road. It was daytime. I asked people questions, and they talked to me. I also looked at the palms of my hands and could see them clearly.

In another lucid dream, I can’t remember much, but I was out there again, walking around. Everything was very clear, and I had no trouble maintaining the dream. It stayed intact without any effort. It all felt so effortless—and incredibly real. I remember walking around, amazed at how real everything felt.

When I spoke, my voice sounded like a young girl’s or a young boy’s voice.

I think there were a few more dreams in between, but I can’t remember them. Each time I exited a dream, I easily slipped into the next one—repeatedly, back-to-back.

In the last one, I experienced immediately re-entering a lucid dream after exiting the previous one. I was walking around a room and said, “Oh, here’s another one—another lucid dream.” I was so happy, talking to myself.

Then I walked into the USM library. It was dark, with a bit of light. I said, “Wow, another lucid dream—and it’s USM. Wow, I like USM. I mean, it’s a perfect library. It’s so nice.”

I think there were some people there. I was talking a lot and walking inside—and then the dream faded.

537-OB: Lying in bed with tm mantra

8:41 am

I did the TM mantra and the work throughout the day, and I found myself in an early-morning phase state. I tried to deepen it using the TM mantra, and it worked. I managed to feel my right-hand fingers rubbing with a familiar rubbery sensation. Then I used the TM mantra again to deepen the phase state, and it became deeper. I then felt my left fingers rubbing as well. After that, I imagined both my palms rubbing, and sure enough, my dream hands materialized in front of me and started rubbing. I felt the familiar rubbery sensation.

Then the dream body shifted in bed to face upwards. I imagined that my legs were beginning to move, getting ready to stand up on the floor of my bedroom, and it worked. I also imagined my face near the curtain, and I stood up on the floor of my bedroom. I then rubbed the curtain on my left and walked towards the bookshelf in my bedroom. I wanted to walk towards the door, but the dream faded.

Then I found myself back in bed in the same position, lying on my right. I used the TM mantra to deepen it again and still managed to feel the dream hands—my right hand with that rubbery sensation. I used the TM mantra once more to deepen the state, and an image of a book appeared. I found myself rubbing the book with my dream hands. I remembered that in previous dreams I could induce an OBE by rubbing objects with my hands, and it became real—I was rubbing the book.

Then I did the same thing: I swung my feet over and stood up on the floor of my bedroom. I continued walking quickly towards the door of my bedroom. I reached the door, opened it, and walked out into the living room. I tried to feel all the objects with my hands to bring more light and color. I did it hastily—left and right, left and right—looking at my palms. I managed to faintly see some texture on my palms, and then the dream faded.

 

536-LD: Seated in a bus

 

7:37 am

I sat in a bus, and on my left there was a girl. I put both my knees up on the front seat and leaned back. It was comfortable. In front, there were others as well, and they all looked very weird—white-ish kind of people. The bus stopped, and they all got off, but the girl and I stayed seated together.

After a while, I said, “Let’s go down. I want to pass urine.”
She replied, “Okay, I also want to pass urine.”

As we were about to get down, at the staircase of the bus, it suddenly moved. She said, “The bus is moving—wait, wait.” She put her hands on my shoulder and stood behind me. We waited like that as the bus moved.

Eventually, I said, “Let’s go and sit down first.”
She said, “Okay,” so we went back to sit down. The bus moved further and further away, and there were others as well who did not get off.

After a while, the bus went some distance, and then I found myself going into a building. I wanted to look for the boss who managed the place, and I was hoping to find the same girl who had sat beside me on the bus.

The place was brightly lit, but it looked very cramped and small. The walls were very bright.

I walked straight to a door and opened it. There was a guy inside, facing a mirror, adjusting his appearance. I said, “Sorry,” and closed the door. I turned right and opened another door, and there was another guy there, also facing a mirror and adjusting his appearance. I closed that door as well.

I looked for another way to go, and suddenly, on the right, the room became bigger. I realized that this was a dream, because I remembered that in dreams, things change—the second time you look at something, it looks different.

Then I became lucid.

I touched the objects around me. There was a sink—a toilet sink—and I touched it and said, “This is so real, like I’m really here.” I kept exploring the place like that. I went down to the ground, rubbing it and feeling its texture, and it became even more real.

Then everything started to darken. The room became darker and darker, and I knew the dream was fading. So I stared at the palms of my hands, trying to bring back the color and the light. I could still see the palms of my hands, which were brown, but eventually, the dream faded.

535-LD: High above misty tree tops

 

7:30 am

I couldn't sleep for a long time, and then I dreamed that I couldn't sleep for a long time, lying down in a room.

Then I took off my sleeping mask, got out of the house, and walked across to my real, actual home. I saw my mother; she was in the kitchen cleaning. I thought that I needed to find my sleeping mask because I would try to sleep in this house to attempt an out-of-body experience. I also asked her where are my sleeping masks.

The house was almost empty. It was nine o'clock in the morning, and I needed to sleep to induce an out-of-body experience. So I went around looking for a sleeping mask. I found a few small ones—funny-looking ones, some even plastic and transparent—but they were not good enough.

Then I opened a door and walked into a room. When I went in, it was empty, and I suspected that something was strange. I walked straight ahead, opened a second door, and entered another room—it was also empty. Then I walked into a third room, opened the door, and it was empty as well.

So I said, “This must be a dream.” I realized that it was a dream. I rubbed my fingers and my hands, and I could feel a rubbery sensation. I said, “Okay, let's try to fly.”

I flew out of the house, through the roof, and up into the sky. When I looked down, I could see greenery; it was misty, the color of the treetops. Then I tried to fly down and touch the top leaves of the trees. After that, I flew up again into the sky, looked down again, and flew down once more.

This time, I wanted to feel the tree trunks. So I put my hands together and flew all the way down, holding onto them. When I landed on the ground, I moved onto the road. I saw the road and touched it. I looked closely at its texture and could feel the roughness of the surface. That helped increase the lucidity. I rubbed along the road surface, over and over, examining its texture.

Then I looked at my hands—the palms of my hands—trying to bring in some light and color. At that moment, I was already in another room, an unknown room, but it was dark. I wanted light, so I looked at my palms, from the left to the right and back again, repeatedly. I focused on the texture of my skin and requested light.

Gradually, the light came, and the room began to brighten. I could see beyond my hands into the room.

And then the dream suddenly faded.

534-OB: False awakening in hostel room

 

8:43 am

I did Byron Katie’s The Work to release and let go, and fell asleep with the intention of having an OBE (out-of-body experience).

Then I found myself lying in bed on the right. I woke up from sleep, though it could have been a false awakening.

I then started trying to induce the phase state directly by imagining left and right, left and right in my mind, to create some kind of internal vestibular movement.

As I continued, I began to feel myself sinking left and right, left and right. Then suddenly, there was a loud humming sound that increased in frequency, and I saw things spinning in a circle.

At that point, I knew it was the right time to induce the out-of-body state.

I imagined rubbing my fingers together and managed to do so. Then I imagined rubbing my hands together, and my hands appeared. I rubbed them and felt a familiar rubbery sensation.

Next, I rubbed my face, my forearms, my torso, and even the bed mattress.

I then imagined slowly getting up—sitting up on the bed on the right and placing my legs on the ground—and it happened automatically. My body moved, sat upright on the bed, and then placed my feet on the floor.

I found myself in a shared bedroom, like a hostel. There was another person sleeping beside me, although I had the impression that he had already woken up earlier. He seemed like a student.

It was daytime—morning—and light was coming through the window on the right.

I stood up and started walking toward the main door of this large bedroom, touching the wall on the right as I moved.

As I walked, I didn’t want to bump into the other person. But I felt him guiding me—placing his hand on my back right shoulder to help me avoid obstacles.

I wondered how he could see me. He shouldn’t have been able to unless my physical body was moving. But I was not aware that this might be a false awakening.

Anyway, I opened the door of the bedroom and walked out. I felt that he might have been concerned I could fall, so I didn’t go too far. I held the banister on the left with my left hand and stood there for a while.

After some time, I turned around and walked back into the bedroom.

At that point, I thought I had woken up from the dream—realizing it had been a false awakening.

As I walked in, I saw a large bed—a huge bed. There was a window on the left.

I thought I was supposed to sleep in the center of the bed. I noticed that he had completely closed the curtains, perhaps to block out the light.

I then realized that my spot was actually toward the edge of the room, near the curtain.

So I walked there and lay down.

Only then did I truly wake up and realize that the previous awakening had been false—and that now, I was awake for real.

533-OB: Parting the curtains

 

7:07 am

I did The Work by Byron Katie, and it was early morning. I felt the early morning phase state.

I asked myself, “Let’s try to induce an out-of-body experience.”

I gently tried to feel my fingers rubbing, and slowly I felt the fingers of my left hand rubbing. I tried to do the same with my right hand, and then I felt them too.

Then I tried to bring my palms together to rub, and I saw the faint outline of both my hands materialize. I started to rub, and sure enough, I felt the familiar rubbery sensation.

I continued rubbing my hands and began to rub my face slowly, then my forearms, and down to my torso. I then rubbed the surface of the mattress, and my body started to rotate on its own—to the left.

It kept rotating to the left. It was preparing to stand up.

Automatically, my body moved, and my feet landed on the floor of my bedroom. My right hand was still touching the mattress on the right.

I stood up while continuing to rub the mattress with my right hand, and my left hand touched the curtains on the left. I then rubbed the curtains on the left while my right hand was still rubbing the mattress.

I walked toward the bedroom door. I also looked and peered at the palms of my hands to make the light and color appear.

I used my knuckles and tapped on the bedroom door.

“Tuk, tuk, tuk.”

I heard the sound. I grabbed the handle, turned it, opened the door, and walked out into the living room of my N-Park house.

To make sure I could hear the sound, I closed the door behind me, and I heard it slam gently. I tapped on the door again to hear the sound, and I could feel my knuckles tapping against it.

To my left, I could see my living room. It was partially lit by the morning light. I saw the TV on the wall to my left. I touched it and then walked toward the balcony area.

Now I was walking toward the curtains in the balcony area of my living room. I found that I actually was floating quite high up in the air, near the top part of the curtain.

I was floating in mid-air.

I used my hands to pull the curtain apart to let the light in. It was daylight outside. I pulled left and right to open the curtains. It took a bit of effort, but I managed to open them.

And while I was doing that, the dream faded.

532-OB: Walking down staircase

 

5:35 am

I had at least two OBEs back to back. This is the first.

I had been doing Byron Katie’s The Work and was lying on my right. I saw the ceiling, and there was a bunch of what looked like pubic hair stuck at the top center of the ceiling. I realized that I must be in the phase state.

I then rubbed my fingers left and right, rubbed my palms together, and tried to induce an out-of-body experience. I rubbed my face, and I think I also rubbed the bed.

I sat upright, moved nearer to the edge of the bed, put my feet on the bedroom floor, and stood up. I was in the bedroom of my Raja Uda house.

I then turned left and walked towards the door. I tried to peer at my palms to make color and light appear in the world. It worked a little bit, but I was still walking in darkness.

I reached the bedroom door, grabbed the handle, and tried to pull it open. It was very heavy, but in the end I managed to open it. I saw that it was dark outside.

I held onto the banister on the left and walked towards the staircase going downstairs. The rooms on my right and left, including the bathroom, were all in darkness.

I then walked down the staircase, holding onto the left banister. As I reached the bottom of the staircase, the area on the right, towards the kitchen, was dark.

I turned left into the living room and walked in. It was also dark. I again tried to peer at my hands—the skin and palms—trying to make more light and color appear.

Anyway, I ignored that and walked straight to the main door, opened the metal grille, and walked out. The moment I stepped outside, everything became bright and colored.

It was daytime.

I saw furniture all around. I touched a tabletop—a fairly high table, like a prayer table—on the right. I spoke out loud, “It’s like I’m really here,” and tapped on it.

I turned left and saw other furniture as well. I walked around, touching things, and kept telling myself, “It’s like I’m really here.”

I was amazed at how real it felt.

There was furniture on both the right and left. Then I turned and tried to walk out through another door. It was also a metal grille. When I tried to pass through it, the dream faded.

---

6:35 am

This is the second OBE.

I did Byron Katie’s The Work to let go of everything. I was sleeping, and then I found myself in the correct phase state.

I imagined rubbing my fingers and managed to do so. Then I rubbed my hands together and felt a familiar, brief sensation. I managed to float out into the open, but it faded.

I tried to re-enter the state again and imagined rubbing my palms together this time. It would come and go—come and go.

Finally, I managed to feel my hands materialize and rub together. I felt a familiar, rubbery sensation and tried to take it further, but it faded again.

I think this happened one or two more times.

It seemed quite effortless. All I needed to do was have the intention—to have an out-of-body experience—and to think about it just before falling asleep.

Then it would happen.

I would find myself in the proper state of mind—the fuzzy, hazy type of feeling.

531-OB: Walking to lift

 

7:12 am

I had two OBs back-to-back.

I was in and out of, I think, some dreams. And before that, I made the intention to have an OB tonight.

In one of the dreams, I woke up and was in a hazy state of mind. I said, “Okay, let’s try to do an OB.”

I managed to rub my fingers and my hands together. I was on the bed, and then I rubbed my face. I continued to rub my face and hands, and as I was rubbing, I rubbed my torso as well.

Then… I wanted to roll over and stand up on the floor, and I managed to do that.

I stood up on the floor of my bedroom. I think I touched the curtains on the left and also the bed on the right.

I was stomping on the floor just to make it feel more real. I also spoke out loud so that I could hear myself, and I did—I managed to hear myself talking.

I walked to the door of my bedroom. As I walked, I touched objects on the left and right. On the left, I touched the wall. When I reached near the bathroom, I also touched the wall on the right.

Then I touched the door of my bedroom, grabbed the handle, opened it, and walked out into the living room.

I was looking around, and I remembered to continue rubbing my hands together to maintain the lucidity. I forgot to look at the palms of my hands. I also forgot to do peering to make more light and color appear.

So I was looking around the living room, looking at objects, and then the dream faded.

Then I tried to re-enter the dream by imagining touching objects, and I managed to re-enter it again.

This time, I was also on the bed. I rubbed my hands together, swung my feet over, and stood up on the floor.

I ran to the door of my bedroom, opened it, and walked out into the living room. Then I went straight to the door of the living room, opened it, and walked out into the corridor.

I touched the sides of the walls and quickly walked to the metal grill. I opened the metal grill gate and walked out, touching the wall as I moved toward the lift.

As I was walking to the lift, I remembered to peer at my palms this time. So I looked at the palms of my hands to try to make the world appear—and it did appear beyond my palms.

All this while, I remembered to keep rubbing my palms together.

After a while, the dream faded.

530-OB Getting up from bed

 

7:50 am

I was in and out of dreams, and then I think I came out of one, and I am lying on my right.

So I thought let's to try to induce the early morning state, and I managed to feel my fingers rubbing the familiar rubbery sensations, and also starting on my left and right fingers rubbing.

Then I brought the palms together and rubbed them as well.

Then I rubbed my face.

Then I rubbed the mattress and then I tried to swing over, and I stand up, but the state fizzled out.

529-OB: Raja Uda veranda

7:34 am

I did the Sedona Method to rest and easily fall asleep.

I got up to pass urine and drink water, then got back to bed and had the intention to do the out-of-body experience techniques.

I found myself using the Sedona Method to fall asleep easily as well.

After using the Sedona Method to relax, I intentionally willed myself to feel the early-morning, lack-of-sleep kind of familiar fuzzy feeling.

I managed to feel it, and that caused me to be able to perform the exit technique—rubbing my fingers and so on.

Then I found myself in the correct state of mind, a bit hazy and fuzzy.

I managed to rub my fingers, then rub my hands together.

Then I rubbed my face, my torso, and also the bed.

I used my mind to intend to swing my feet over the bed and place them on the floor of my bedroom.

I managed to do that.

I then stood up on the floor of my bedroom.

I used my hands—my knuckles—to tap on the floor. I could hear the tapping sound, and I also felt the floor clearly.

I then rubbed the side of the bed frame and the left curtain.

This time, I chose to walk straight to the door in front of my Raja Uda house.

I opened the door, walked out, went to the staircase, touched the bannister, and walked all the way down to the lower floor.

I turned left into the living room.

I saw my father and mother, hugged them, and wished them well.

Then I walked toward the main door of the living room.

I opened it and walked out.

I then felt that the familiar surroundings helped maintain lucidity easily.

So I interacted with objects on the veranda. I spent some time touching objects here and there.

I also examined, I think, some wood grain textures and other objects to increase the light and colour.

After a while, because the environment was familiar—and I was very familiar with my childhood home—it was quite easy to maintain lucidity.

Eventually, the dream faded.

Then I found myself staring at a white wooden post, and I was in the room.

I immediately took the opportunity to re-enter the dream by rubbing the wooden post with my hands.

So this is a new technique: whenever you are in a dream, and you are looking at an object in a hypnagogic state, you rub it—the object— feel the tactile sensation -- and you can re-enter the dream.

So I rubbed the white wooden post, and the world appeared.

This time, I looked at my hands—at the palms of my hands, left and right—clearly.

Each time I did that, beyond the palms of my hands, the world appeared.

It was a room, and I think there were some people—ladies, I think.

I tried to interact with them and talk to them.

Eventually, the dream faded.

 

528-OB: Metta in outdoor market

6:48 am

I did the Sedona Method to relax and fall asleep.

Then I got up to drink water and pass urine.

After that, I couldn’t sleep for a long time, but it didn’t bother me.

I did releasing via the Sedona Method.

Then, towards the morning, I also had the intention to do an out-of-body experience.

At one moment, I felt it was the correct time. I had that familiar early-morning, not-enough-sleep kind of feeling. I said, “Let’s try this.”

Then I managed to enter a hazy state and felt my fingers rubbing.

I rubbed my hands together and felt the familiar rubbery sensation. I rubbed my face and torso. Then I think I rubbed the bed and my clothes.

I swung my feet over, put them on the floor of my bedroom, stood up, and walked away from the bed while rubbing the left curtain and the right mattress.

I walked towards the bedroom door. Everything was still dark.

I opened the bedroom door and could feel it clearly. I walked out into the dark living room and kept peering at my hands to try to bring in some light and color.

I walked around the living room like that. It was dark—I couldn’t see anything.

I said, “Clarity now,” several times, and heard my voice in the distant part of the living room.

As I continued peering at my palm, I began to see color—skin tone, brown texture. Then, beyond my hands, the world appeared.

I didn’t stare too long at my palm but alternated between both palms.

After the world appeared, the first thing I saw was that I was walking outdoors in the daytime, on a road.

There was a palm tree. I put my hands on the tree trunk and rubbed it up and down.

Then I went to a second palm tree and did the same thing.

This became a long journey walking around a town area. I met many people.

At one point, I remembered to do some chanting: “Namo tassa bhagavato arahato…”

It felt like being in a temple. There was a monk on the right-hand side, and he was about to close the temple. So I walked away back into the street.

There were many people—like an outdoor market area. I walked around, looking left and right.

At one point, I almost lost the dream state, but I tried to regain it, and the scene changed.

I found myself in a boarded-up area with many primary school boys—Malays, I think. They were wearing primary school uniforms: black shorts and white shirts.

Many of them were lying around lazily on the ground beside me and tried to touch me. I tried to avoid them.

I managed to climb over a wooden fence and onto the road.

The road looked grey and a bit watery, but it was solid.

I walked across to the other side. It was daytime. It was a big white road, like in a town area.

I wondered whether I was a Malay boy or another race.

I saw a reflective surface on a nearby wall, like a mirror, so I walked towards it and looked at my reflection.

I saw that I was a handsome young Chinese male wearing white shorts and a white shirt.

I stood there, then turned left. There was a Caucasian male walking on the right.

I continued walking straight towards another outdoor shopping area. There were stalls on both sides, with people selling things.

I felt there was some food particle in my mouth and wanted to push it out with my lips.

Then I remembered not to do that, because it might cause my physical body to wake up. I could feel my physical body in bed and reminded myself not to use physical movements—everything should be done mentally.

So I ignored it and continued walking.

I turned right and saw many people selling things.

I also did loving-kindness practice there. I remembered:

“May all beings be happy.
May all beings be free from suffering.”

As I did that, I put my palms together and looked at the people passing by.

There was a sick person on a stretcher being carried past. I put my palms together and looked at the person, thinking:

“May you be free from suffering.”

I continued walking and came across a girl sitting down, sewing. Beside her was her mother, who was larger in size.

I said, “This must be the mother.”

Both the mother and daughter looked up. I spoke to them.

The daughter said, “Yes, I am preparing to make money for school—for my education.”

Then I continued walking past them.

As I walked, I interacted with other people.

Then the dream faded.

 

527-LD: Floating in city

 

5:12 am:

I spontaneously became lucid in a dream and then continued to wrap my hands and try to keep the lucidity going.

I was flying around or floating around in the city area and flying above the road.

And I was flying up and down, up and down like that.

So I went round and round like that.

Eventually, the dream finished.

526-OB: Bright light in mirror

 

6.00 am

Earlier, I did the Buddho mindfulness breathing to try to fall asleep.
When I felt that the mind was too restless and agitated, I switched to mindfulness of mind states. I said, “This is a restless mind, an agitated mind,” and just remained mindful of the state of the mind.

I was in and out of several sleep cycles, and I had the intention of doing the exit technique. In one of the sleep cycles that I had just woken up from, I felt that I wanted to give it a try.

So I willed myself to enter the phase state and just relaxed without pushing too hard. I managed to have the experience of the early-morning type phase state.

I then tried to rub my fingers, and it worked. I rubbed my hands and felt a familiar rubbery sensation.

Then I swung my feet over the bed, put them on the floor of my bedroom, and stood up.

I then walked quickly to the main door of my bedroom, opened it, and felt the door clearly. Everything was still dark.

I then quickly walked into the living room of my N-Park condominium and opened the main door.

Then I felt something, and when I looked again, I was back in my bedroom, I think. I peered at my hands. Both palms of my hands became visible. I looked at the texture, and then light and color appeared. Then the world appeared. The light appeared.

I was in my bedroom, and in front of me there was a mirror. I could see my reflection in the mirror.

I was standing there and kept peering at my hands. The more I looked at my hands, the more the color and the light on the world appeared.

Eventually the light became clear.

I then did a bit of loving-kindness meditation and radiated it to the world. Then the dream faded.

525-OB: Hugging Darren in living room

 

6.43 am

I did the meditation: I am just the awareness that is observing everything, and everything that I feel, experience, or think of does not matter.

It helped me to fall asleep several times, and I had a good sleep.

Before going to sleep, I also had the intention that I would have an out-of-body experience.

Then, coming out of one of the sleeps, I had the idea that maybe I should try something. I remembered that I used to imagine starting a motor to induce an out-of-body experience because of the vibration of the motor.

So I imagined that I kept kick-starting the motor. When the motor started, there was the vibration of the engine. That caused me to enter the dream state.

The vibration.

I could feel the vibration in the body, and I entered the dream state.

I think I rubbed my hands and felt a familiar feeling, and also a loud vibration. The sensation deepened by itself while I was rubbing my hands, and it continued to deepen.

I was in the house, and I could hear Adrian and Darren in the other room in front.

I did Buddhist recitations. Then I did the radiation of loving-kindness to the surroundings, and to Darren.

I hugged Darren and wished him well with loving-kindness. I also wished loving-kindness to all beings.

While doing this, I walked around the room instead of keeping still. I walked towards the back, and at one point I thought of going to the other side of the wall, where there was a bright outdoor area.

But then I turned around, I thought that I should remain in the same room, because familiarity would strengthen and maintain the lucidity.

So I just walked around the room like that, looking at the walls.

After finishing the earlier recitations, I then did the Buddhist mantra:
Om Mani Padme Hum, Om Mani Padme Hum.

I walked around while chanting it.

As I was chanting Om Mani Padme Hum and walking around the room, the dream faded.

I initially wanted to re-enter the dream because I could still feel the vibration — the vibration in my hands and in the body.

524-OB: Floating verandah covered grass

9.31 am

I have been practicing Ajahn Lee's mindfulness of breathing all night long to fall asleep and to relax. The method involves being very, very gentle—trying to make the breathing pleasurable so that the mind naturally wants to feel the breath. And it really works every time.

Then I've been having so many dreams, in and out and in and out—so many dreams. Before going back into sleep, I set the intention that I want to have an out-of-body experience—that I will come out of the dream slowly and then try the exit technique.

And true enough, after having many dreams, I found myself in a proper hazy state of mind and tried to feel my fingers rubbing. I managed to rub my fingers and rub my palms together, then rub the mattress of the bed, swing my feet over, and stand up on the floor of my bedroom.

I then peered at my hands and walked forward, and the world appeared. I was outdoors in a shaded area. I touched every object that continued to appear with my hands and rubbed them. I also touched the ground and could feel it. At one point it became grass, and I touched the grass and pulled on it. I was also floating around. I touched the objects around me as much as I could.

There was a fence. I went near the fence while floating around. Then the dream faded.

But just before it faded, I remembered I was holding something—an object. A brick. A triangular brick. I could still faintly feel the brick in my hands. Then I focused on the feeling of the brick, and I re-entered the dream again—holding the brick—and I was walking around once more. I could feel my feet on the ground, stamping on the floor as I walked.

I spoke to myself: “This is a dream. I am dreaming. This is a dream.” And I could hear my voice.

I was looking through the fence, outdoors, toward the beyond. Again, I reached a pole—a metal pole. And again, the dream faded. But I could still faintly feel the metal pole in my hands—the coolness and the solidity.

Based on that sensation, I managed to re-enter the dream again. The trick is not to rush out and record, but instead to try to prolong and re-enter. And it works.

So I re-entered the dream again. I could feel the pole. I rubbed my hands and arms down, and it became real. The whole world appeared again. I kept telling myself, “This is a dream. I am lucid. This is a dream. I am lucid.”

Eventually, the dream faded again. And this time, I let it go.
