subside. I then remember what I always tell myself: if I get
vibrations, then I'm already in the phase. So I try to roll out
of my body... There is resistance, but I am able to do it.
I stand up in my current apartment and it is completely
dark. As I am walking to the front door, I try to put my right
index finger through my left palm to make sure I am in the
phase. It works, and so I open the door to the hallway but it
looks nothing like my actual hall. It is still very dim and there
is another gentleman there. I point to different areas and say
the word “lights”, and sure enough, one-by-one they come
on. I keep touching things to engage the senses as I am
walking. I walk into a room with a young boy in it and he is
watching TV. I think about my plan of action and remember
that I wanted to try the teleportation technique in SOBT. I
had previously been teleporting by melting through the floor
but it was unreliable and I would end up in darkness
sometimes. I had read in Exploring the World of Lucid
Dreaming that closing your eyes in a dream can cause you to
wake up, but I figured that if Michael does it all the time then
this isn’t fact.
I ask the boy where should I go... to a football game? He
says yes, but then I figure that since I have never actually
been to a football game, I should go to a basketball game
instead. I close my eyes and concentrate on where I wanted
to go. I start to feel movement and even get the feeling you
get when going down a huge drop on a rollercoaster. When
the movement stops, I open my eyes. It has worked, and I
am standing in the middle of an arena while a basketball
game is going on. I take a step onto the court and
immediately the referee blows the whistle to stop the game
and get me off of the court. I go sit in the stands and began
talking to one of the prettier girls. I don't remember what we
were talking about, but after a short while she wants to exit
the main arena and go towards the concession stands and
bathrooms. You can guess where the rest of the experience
went.
