noticed myself right back in the same spot I had left! I walked
up to my neighbor’s door, rang the doorbell, and waited for
her to come. I then lost it again and tried spinning, but it did
not work.

I went to bed with the intention of entering the phase
while dreaming or upon awakening in the morning. I woke up
at about 6:30 am, and decided to try the method of
visualization, as phantom wiggling had not worked over the
past 2 days (M.R.: no separation). Vague images gradually
created a scene in front of me, which I then found myself
participating in. I felt myself separating from my body, and
rolled out of it. I opened my eyes. Some guy grabbed me by
the shoulder and said, "You've left your body, be cool." I told
him that I was ready. He turned me around, and I saw my
body...
My body was lying on its back with open eyes, even
though I had started visualizing while lying on my stomach.
Not assigning any particular significance to this, I decided to
deepen right away. I squatted down and began to quickly
palpate the floor and the walls with the palms of my hands. I
then looked at my index finger, and could discern the lines in
the skin. Figuring that this was all wonderful, I went to the
kitchen in order to fly (M.R.: no plan of action). However, I
remembered that it was best for novices not to attempt this. I
returned to my bedroom door and pictured there being a
sunny beach behind it. I opened the door and immediately
woke up lying on my back (M.R.: no maintaining and no reentering)...

I woke up (M.R.: no separation) and immediately applied
phantom wiggling on my left arm for five seconds, and my
arm began moving freely (M.R.: no separation). I could at this
point have had an OBE, but I wanted a lucid dream (M.R.:
wrong logic). After five seconds of phantom wiggling I
switched to five seconds of listening in (M.R.: wrong action).
