Sorry for the lack of posts - a lot of my time spent recently has been on the stock market, and on watching politics. I’m continuing to train in OBEs and play the lottery, but I haven’t had noteworthy results (a few small OBEs, but no video).
Either way, the other day I was reading Mad Hatter’s blog, Dreaming to Infinity. In it, he talked about a cool sounding shared dreaming project being set up call the Green Room, by DreamPort. The basic idea is to get some people next week, and try to meet up in a shared lucid dream. I thought the idea was cool, so I signed up for it. I’ve attempted shared dreaming in the past, but never had any luck. Perhaps this time we can get some cool results :-).
If you want to join the project, be sure to check out DreamPort, and see the registration thread here. The deadline is this Friday, February 8th - so hurry!
Other than that, nothing too crazy going on in my world at the moment. I’ll be sure to continue to document my progress in my blog. Maybe I can think of some more cool things to put online, like a psychic game or something. Have fun!

I registered for the forums, but I have trouble inducing lucid dreams. They usually happen when I’m waking up, but rarely…ish. I LD because I’ll awaken to a half-sleep stage, continue to think about my dream, then fall back into it again lucid. The problem is that when I wake up, I usually cannot afford to go back to sleep. I have to get up and go. Therefore, I signed up for the forums, but not the project.
Sounds awesome, though. I’d love to experience that (the meetup in the green room).

Hi ya.
I know this is off topic but since I do not own a webcam i’ll write to you all here instead, hope you don’t mind.
I just want to share an OOBE I had yesterday. I was lying in bed watching harry potter and the order of the phoenix on my puter around 2.00 pm and I fell asleep. I had a lucid dream but I din’t do anything cool, I just let the dream play on for fun. Anyway, I woke up and felt a tingeling feeling all over my body but especielly around my stomach. I almost laughed out loud beacause the feeling was so strong so I scratch my belly and moved around a little to make it go away. I opened my eyes slightly and watched the screen of my computer for just a little while and then I suddenly started to hear the familiar beeping/ringing noise. “Time to leave” I thouhgt and my vision changend, my room looked much brighter than before. I remained still for a couple of seconds then I slid out. I floated accross my room and past my computer, I almost went throuhg the wall. I felt that I had a relaxed attidue so that I this time would be able to have a longer trip then usual but unfortunatly I wanted to make my vison more clear by opening my eyes so I poped back.
I think it was a cool experince because I’ve never been able to get out so easy and I did it even though I laid awake in bed and because I could actully witness the chaning from awarness of my physical body to energy/astral body.

Sounds like an interesting experiment–I look forward to hearing the results!

Thats pretty sweet Charlie, I just have a quick question. I have no experience with OBE’s so I was wondering what you meant by the beeping/ringing noise?

Those damn lucids are way too evasive for me. =P
