Starting Conscious Exits

This morning I experienced a conscious exit, out of body experience.


I was woken at 5.30 by the neighbour and feeling rather awake decided to get up have a drink etc. But no food. I returned to bed to try and get a couple more hours. As I drifted eventually into sleep that heavy sensation often felt with sleep paralysis overcame me, a result I believe of sleeping when then body has really had sufficient sleep already. I was dreaming and stopped what I was doing in my dream. I then began to get a fuzzy floaty feeling all over. I wasn’t dreaming anymore but was aware of being in bed and deduced by my sensations that I was free of my body. I rolled over from my right side and got out of bed. I was out! I turned to look at my body but felt a strange sensation so to avoid getting any unwanted feedback I kept my eyes closed. I remembered that putting a good distance between you and your body eliminated the likely hood of feedback so still with my eyes closed I headed for the garden via the window. I was cautiously climbing through the window my stomach sliding over the window sill although I couldn’t feel the glass. Half through the window I felt for the ground outside and my hand found the concrete surface.

At this point I decided to open my eyes to see what I was doing so I could move a little quicker. I opened my eyes and saw the view from my physical body, I had opened my physical eyes and could simultaneously feel the concrete on the palm of my right hand and the pillows it was sandwiched between. I felt that heavy sensation in my body again and tried to move to see if I was in paralysis. A strange thing happened as I moved my legs out from under the duvet and onto the sheet within my view I could feel the movement but couldn’t see my legs. As I moved my legs I noticed the depressions and ruffles in the sheet from the movement but no legs. Then after blinking at this realisation a ghostly transparent image of my legs faded into view. I was now thinking If I was at the window an second ago and I can see a pair of legs here I must be split into three right now. I closed my eyes for a second and when I re-opened them I was normal self awake in my physical body looking at the exact same piece of bed that I was a moment ago when I saw my ghostly legs.

I should have immediately tried to sleep again but had experienced such a degree of disbelief at finally having a conscious exit during the exit and was quite excited at having experienced it so lay there mulling it in my mind and the drowsiness wore off quickly.
