Hi I get the same sort of thing cept its my eyelids twitching only then it forces my eyes open and i fail i can seem to solve this but before this happens i have a wierd feeling as if i am slightly above where my body is when i reach this stage the twitching comes. any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

that sounds like sleep paralysis. some one gave me this link to check out on the subject. maybe it will help you to understand more too.

For OBE, try it when the room is dark, and shut off al electromagnetic sources-tv,radio,lights...
Close your eyes and picture yourself somewhere or doing something, but see it in your minds eye like it is a memory. A fully realize it is easier said than done. Another thing is try to clear your mind of all other noice (thoughts)-it helps your concentration

thanks monsoon. and maya that isnt entirely what its like its more of my consciousness is like a wave inside me,it moves in the same motion.i can move if i want to but if i do the feeling goes away.sometimes when it happens my body feels kind of light.i thought maybe it was part of the OBE,or is it just sleep paralysis?

i am no expert, but i have read that the shaking or vibrations are natural. i too have tried OOBEs and have only every reached the vibrations. supposedly, after you reach this point, your next step is to leave your body. its easier said than done, because if you have the thought "im shaking," then you are interupting the process where you should be concentrating on nothing. visit www.psipog.org it is a great resource for OOBEs. they suggest to just keep practicing, but when the shaking happens, recognize it but dont think about it. continue to concentrate.

hope that helps.

Your just in the hypnagogic state. Nothing more, while you are in this state you shouldn't get exited or emotional in anyway, because it will always go again like you described. You should try the methods of coming out while you're in this stage.

One method is imagining yourself climbing up a ladder (using only your arms) in a very dark place seeing the ladder isn't necessary. Just feel how it feels pulling yourself up higher and higher (feel like you're actually doing a lot of effort to pull yourself up). Eventually you'll feel yourself tearing out of your physical body.

thanks for all your help guys.ill try it all tonight and see how it goes

note: last night when i did...something i dont know what and it felt like i was surging up,but then i panicked.i wont this time
