EDIT: NEW VERSION AVAILABLE HERE - http://youtu.be/4utZp_PgV7k

I am gonna be honest here... I don't get much out of what I read which is why I prefer watching practical demonstrations and videos. As you all know I log my phase journey at my blog in "text" format. What about: VIDEO FORMAT!!!!

Just imagine being able to watch rather than read about a phase experience! THAT'S WHAT YOU WILL SOON BE ABLE TO DO!

Ok, Here we go... My second phase experience occurred on day 35. Basically I awoke and a weird noise triggered lucidity allowing me to realise I was experiencing a false awakening. Here is an actual quote:

"Unexpectedly I felt myself jolt into my body again. Instantly I realised that I had just dreamt about my mum coming into my room. While remaining motionless I briefly glanced around and noticed that it was completely dark in my room. This confused me as the last time I checked some light was starting to come in. Wearily, I began sitting up in my bed to look out my window and investigate.

Millions of voices from a variety of different people talking all at once blasted into my ears. It lasted about two seconds before it faded out in a creepy, ghostly echo type way. This terrifying event was a lucidity trigger which allowed me to realise I was experiencing a false awakening. I excitedly performed a reality check which confirmed I had finally consciously made it to the phase.

I looked at my bedroom door and attempted walking to it. It was a strange feeling since it felt more like a semi-hover than an ordinary walk. I was just about to slide it open before I decided to try something different. "Can my hand go through it?" I thought. Eagerly, I attempted putting my hand through the closed door. Success! It was an amazing unforgettable yet hard to explain feeling. It felt like I was putting my hand through floating water without the â€œwetâ€

Creative? Well technically it's not me that created it... Well I was the actor and filmed/edited it but the storyline... I didn't come up with it, I experienced it but if it happened in my head then does that mean I came up with it? Better not go down that path of confusion again

I would love to join the obe4u.com team

. Maybe micheal could post my phase experience videos on the front page of his site. Not this one though because I really wanna finish it first!

Ah thanks so much for showing me that because that kind of video (I'm in the phase here's a tutorial on how to manage the state) was what I was gunna originally do. Instead however I won't do that because it's already been done. I don't know anyone who video logs their phase experiences without "enhancing its storyline" however so I will continue to do what I do since it's unique

Ok good news and bad news...

GOOD = new version with title sequence, extra scene "hand through bedroom door" and slightly improved voice over near beginning. Updated in first post and video available at this link: http://youtu.be/4utZp_PgV7k

BAD = I am about to start a very busy time in my life (1 month work experience) so I may not be able to work on this for a while...

Btw does anyway think the completed version of this video (within next 2 months) should be put on the front page of this site to promote the phase?

It's a good thing you like that music... I really have no idea what music is good so I picked something random (and free of copyright) that I hoped would fit

Also that effect of my hand going through the door was "average" but if it was a movie done by professionals could you imagine how good it would look!

I am not an actor nor am I a trained movie editor... Glad I did a good job of this without being a professional

Yea that was the preview version, go to the first post in my blog and you can see the full versions of my video experiences under my books. Remember when you commented on how you would like to see the moon on my bedside table...

Suddenly I saw the moon yet it was miniaturized on my bedside table. It was giving off a slight white glow and was so close to me that I could see its craters.
oh my gosh, how magical! I would love to see something like that.

You can now! it's in the day 35 / Experience 2 video

Very insightful videos. I love the first experience where there is no refection in the mirror. Well done, buddy!

Ah thanks for that

yea that scene was quite hard because I had to put the camera in a perfect angle so I could do that effect. It was balancing of the handle of a door...

These videos are always a challenge to make because I hate following tutorials on how to do special effects. Instead I think it through and do it myself and that's why I have never watched a tutorial before. I learn through hands on experience... Not tutorials

Pretty cool. great job.

If someone was watching it for the first time not knowing what the phase was, they would defs think you were mad palpating the floor like that lol!
