Out-of-Body Exploring: A Beginner's Approach

by Preston Dennett

If you have wanted to have an out-of-body experience, but were intimidated by books on the subject, Out-of-Body Exploring is for you! This is an entry-level-to-expert book--everything from what OBEs are, to how you can have your own anytime you want. Preston Dennett began his explorations beyond the physical body nearly twenty years ago in an attempt to contact his deceased mother. Thousands of OBEs later (OBEs lasting anywhere from a few seconds to several hours) he turns his attention from mastering the art to helping others. Out-of-Body Exploring includes Dennett's initial forays into expanded consciousness, sharing the techniques he experimented with, and discussing the people and sights--both strange and familiar--that he encountered along the way. Plus, he offers tips on how to go reliably out-of-body, and how to control and maintain this enhanced level of awareness for extended periods. This is a guidebook to a whole new world. Why wait any longer to explore it?

This was a good short book on lucid dreaming, astral and/or OBE. I've read other books on the subject, but this would be a good one to begin with. The practical advice is concise and to the point. I've started practicing again recently and decided to read something to help me with the practice. I had similar experiences as the author, it was quite interesting to read.

The Basics:
Go to bed. Don't move until fully relaxed, at which point you'll go into a dream. At that point you need to basically keep consciousness on. To help transition into lucid dream state you can "roll out" of you physical body or imagine yourself falling or something else like that. When I imagine myself falling, I usually start by flying in a dream, which feels good.
