Lucid Dreaming and OBE Discussion Board

By way of background, I began my phase activities in April of this year, after stumbling across the SOBT guidebook.  I then watched the introductory video and eventually read Ultimate Yoga.

I had good success in the beginning.  In the first couple of weeks, I had several phase experiences, including one or two “hyper-realisticâ€

I think you've done a lot after this period of time. It means you're on the rigth way. Just keep trying it further and you'll overcome most of your problems. The new SOBT will help a lot too. It'll be ready soon

WOW! Great experimenting on your part!! 

I discovered that the easiest way for me to enter the phase was right after I had exited a dream.

Me also and like you I have the exiting part sorted.
I can exit on cue but can't seem to deepen 

Can't wait to hear more of your experiences in your blog!

Really good summary, Cleareye (and kudos on the literary skill).

While there are some unique elements there I think several of us see many similarities in our growth and learning since reading the SOBT ebook.

There are so many different techniques and I want to learn and understand them all. The way you described turning back to your side and going back into your last dream sounds familiar. I had good success with going back on my side and doing the Forced Falling Asleep attempts and then rolling out. I haven't done that in a while -- I'll have to give it another try soon.

I think your idea of relaxing through the dry spells really is the right idea. I just got very focused and more involved in my waking life for a while and stopped trying so intensely every day. New waves of success come back out of the blue with just a few attempts per week. One day I hope to understand better how this works but for now I'll simply work with it as best I can.
