Dreaming Message Board

For awhile now, ive been attempting to do either three of theese things, i try for awhile and then get disheartened and forget about it then someday out of nowhere i feel i want to do it again, im ready to try again. Lately, ive been trying to perform OBE's, Lucid Dreams, and Astral Projection. I know all of the techniques, Mild's Wild's Dild's, floating techniques, water techniques, rubbing techniques, planned out movement techniques, dream signs, etc etc etc (it goes on and on =P ) Ive attempted many many many things, all in failure, recently ive gone through a few exercises and end up laying in bed for hours trying, to no avail mind you. Last night i lie in bed dead tired when i got then and layed there for 2 hours fro 9-11. But, sometimes i feel that i could of done it but open my eyes for some reason and wonder what happened to the time and what i was thinking during the time. Well, i really want this to happen, hoping it could change me in someway but im unsuccessful, are some people not meant to experience this, or am i doing it wrong??? Well, input needed and welcomed!
Thanks

I don't know of any techniques, or anything at all about the techniques you mentioned. I always lucid dream naturally, and have only had one OBE that I remember, and that was unwanted. I can't imagine how you could train yourself to do this type of stuff, but I guess some people have, so maybe someone else could help.

On second thought, maybe the idea is that the more you think about it, the more difficult it makes it. Maybe the idea is to forget about lucid dreaming, astral projection, etc. and just go to sleep normally and allow it to happen.

i tried sooo hard to do that too....but it wouldnt happen. once i stopped trying so hard...took a week off..it happened. im talking about lucid dreaming, i havent tried the other things. as long as u remeber to do the dream signs through the day every once and a while....ur brain will make a habit. it helps to do them when something weird happens while your awake. i have never actually induced one though. good luck!
