Not much.
Shortly before I moved, I had an experience as I was laying awake quietly. I began to enter a state of having just a floating, and rolling or tumbling (side-to-side), sensation. It is very common for me to go into this state. At that point, being drowsy enough, I decided to attempt AP. I remembered that some of my experiences of the type sometimes attributed to AP began with a feeling of fear. So I tried my best to, well, quite literally scare myself. When that succeeded, I could feel a sort of expanding electrified sensation (common in reports of alleged AP) and there was a little bit of a pulsating blueness behind my eyelids (a common element throughout most of my alleged AP experiences). But I did not see anything in the sense of actually perceiving my surroundings. It didn’t seem like I was actually floating, just on the verge of doing so. Something seemed to be holding me back, and I noticed my heart rate was through the roof. I could have pressed further, but decided not to exhaust that much effort. So I did not attempt to go to England at that time.
During the move, I spent a night in a motel room. Sometime during the late night/early morning hours, in between periods of deep sleep, I found myself in a position to experience the “slipped out” sensation and did so. It felt like I was floating, face down, and there was nothing to see except blackness. At this time, even though I did not see anything, I decided to try to go to England. According to Dr. Monroe, trying to move oneself has no effect - motion must be willed via thoughts. I told myself repeatedly to go to glee’s house. To my surprise, I found I could outright talk, feeling my mouth move and my vocal cords glide effortlessly and silently, yet hearing nothing. I still saw nothing as well. So I cannot say that I didn’t make it over there, but I do not believe I made it and certainly did not see the desk or any of the objects on it.
At this point I would concede that based on these two events, there probably is no AP or else it isn’t what I’ve been experiencing, and the article SDStaff Doug wrote a ways back might be correct in its reverse-somnambulism explanation. Probably. As much as I would like to give it one more try and see it through to a faraway destination, I’m gonna be honest here it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen. Too much stuff going on and my circadian rhythm is all out of whack. But rest assured if another easy opportunity (such as the two above) does arise, I will attempt it unhesitatingly.
One thing I want to throw out in all fairness is something which might bias the results. Over the months I have gradually… shall I say accumulated… an impression of what one of the objects might be like. Granted it is only a hunch and is NOT the result of AP. My impression is that one of the objects is bright yellow, made of soft plastic or rubber, translucent, kind of an odd shape - don’t know if it’s an animal or some kind of alien or what - and it weighs about an ounce or less. Some kind of a toy, almost certainly. This is only a hunch.
Hey IWLN how you been?
