Lucid Dreaming and OBE Discussion Board

I just recently discovered your very well organized book on entering phase.
Last night was my second night trying the indirect approach, which looks nice and simple.
The challenge I encountered this morning, was that my normal sleeping pattern involves physically moving from on my back, to sleeping on my left side, to sleeping on my right side.
So I found myself wondering this morning, as I would wake up and realize that I want to change my physical position, should I move physically FIRST then try the four cycles, or resist moving and do the four cycles first.  My urge is to be on my back when I cycle, but I relize there is benefit in getting the cycle started quickly.
I am really looking forward to going places with this.

You shouldn't move. Try 4 cycles and resist the urge to move.

Day 3 - it worked, thanks!
Last night I really wasn't planning to phase because I have an early flight, but when I woke up to roll over, I caught myself pausing and tried a cycle. Just as I was about to go back to sleep, I noticed a distant light on in the room, which was odd. Even odder when I closed my eyes tighter it got BRIGHTER!
I think what I then experienced was more in the lucid dream category than the OBE, because I found I could control what I was seeing.
It was like looking out the front window of a car from the back seat at night.  Things were pretty fuzzy, but I could make out a city skyline at dusk, with the yellow sunlight just starting to light it.

Unfortunately when I heard my wife snoring it faded away.
After sleeping a bit, I had another opportunity.  This time I was seeing the stars of outer space, almost as if I was looking down a long dark corridor with them at the end.  I noticed a triangular shaped blue light, that was moving in a spiral pattern, so I tried to follow it.  As I started to get closer I heard the dog snoring and came back.

Anyway your advice paid off for me.  Thanks.

I'm glad you almost made it. Now all that is left is to read everything about "Seperation" in the book. It will help you out a lot
