Although I never did OOBE I had similar experience you describe, in my situation it was over-excitement which spoiled the moment. Next time I tried it was fine.

Since I am on holidays, I have some time to do it and for last 4 nights I've been trying to do it without any luck. I think I know where the problem is, after first wake up with alarm clock (although I usually wake up before it) I didn't stay awake long enough. I just seem to missed all the REM wake...

I am curious, do you also hear a buz...

Greetings everyone! I have just found this website yesterday and read the short and part of the long OBE method. I liked it because of it's simplicity. I went to bed with intention to try it but I didn't set myself an alarm clock as I was too tired after work so I thought if I wake up I will do as i...
