I was asleep, being woken up by her visit. In my sleep I was aware she had just walked straight into my house, middle of the night, headed for the bedroom, sat on the foot of the bed, talking excitedly about her date. I started waking up tossing and turning while she was talking, and then when awake. Got up and looked everywhere for her, because I knew she was there and it was real.
Next morning, she really came over, and had a coffee at possibly 6-7 am. I said to her, that I'd had a dream she came over in the middle of the night, and she showed me where she sat on the bed and told me all about her date.
That was when the reality of obe's became very clear to me.edit on 5-11-2011 by Unity_99 because: (no reason given)
- Not Recognizing the Phase
Practitioners often enter the phase but then return
back to the body because they feel that what occurred
is not what they had expected. For example, when
observing images they are often pulled into the
scenery, or they are spontaneously thrown into another
world when rotating. Practitioners often think that they
have to experience the feeling of separation itself,
which is why they might return back to their bodies in
order to obtain it. The same applies to becoming
conscious while dreaming, as the practitioner is already
in the phase and it only remains to deepen and
implement his plan of action.

Well that's something I don't do. I don't wait on other people's experiences in such a case that the instructions are free and can be practiced pretty quickly.

If at all possible, I would love hear the accounts of both versions of that shared dream. I've been studying shared dreams for awhile, and it's very rare that I'll find both versions. As far as I'm concerned, shared dreams do happen. What's interesting is each dreamer experiences their own individual dream that may very well be different from the other dreamer's version, yet it's still a shared dream. These differences are archetypal in nature, and essentially describe the the same thing.
My problem with OBEs is that they are identical to dreams in every way. Treating them as something different only serves to confuse the matter, and then people end up with different sets of rules for each perceived situation when what is needed is a unified theory that works for both dreams and OBEs. OBEs tend to separate themselves from the core dreaming experience, yet referring as simply dreams tends to paint the whole thing as something mundane. An important past of dream control is how you conceptualize things. Not so much about thinking outside the box. but using the boxes to your advantage.
And I got to several places that I am already familiar with, as well as almost but not quite getting to the bridge of a spaceship.
