The STRONG vibrations are terrifying.  For me, they have become a higher
frequency and milder (more like buzzing in the ears) with time. But, when
they sometimes come on _STRONG_, they shock me straight awake.
 
: A question: Has anyone ever encountered any other entities while OOB?  Spe-
: cifically, ones that are neutral or hostile or "animal"? 

The answer is yes. Recently, while trying to remain conciously inactive,
I felt medium vibrations no sooner than I hit the pillows.  I thought:
Oh, well. I've been reading about healing, LET'S TRY IT! (I had a sore
throat at the time.) I started to roll. Just then a hand(?) pressed me on 
my back and an I heard/felt a voice shout "BACK!".  I went back.

Another time, I was worried about the "Nibbling Critters". (They HURT, by
the way. But they seem rather mindless.) Instantly, I was transported to a 
location where two "people" had several, apparently for training (me, not 
them) purposes. One (I thought it was a dog-type animal, but it did not
resemble a dog) bit my right index finger and sucked hard. OUCH! I got
my hand free, substituting its paw(?) in the process. It continued for
what seemed like a long moment, until it hurt itself. Then it left
slowly.  
One of the "people" "said" 'you must learn to avoid them, or 
make them avoid you'.. I attempted to demonstrate "mental power"
on a similar animal nearby. The "person" said 'That is not the way'.
I cannot relate what transpired after that, but it seems the proper
method was explained to me, and that it works unconciously. (And so
far it does work!) If I ever learn to relate it I will tell.

....Wow.  Yes, Keith, I've had this happen to me several times, and usually
the "result that was avoided" is serious injury -- it never seems to happen
for minor accidents.  I also experience deja vu fairly frequently, and it's
almost always because what I'm seeing or doing is something I dreamed about
earlier (anywhere up to two months beforehand).

I've never associated this with oobe travel; in fact, I've never been able
to "astrally project" at all.  However, I'd love to discuss this further,
and any other "time unbound" experiences you've had.  One of mine that comes
to mind immediately is hearing my parents drop a glass pan upstairs in the
kitchen (this was years ago, in their house).  I didn't think anything of it
until I heard it the same thing _again_ -- the same thud-and-shatter sound.
I rushed upstairs, and found that my mother had just dropped the pan _then_.
Not earlier.  What I heard the first time didn't happen until the _second_
time I heard it.

{Well my friends in network land, here's a post on what I believe the 
vibbs which takes place between sleep and awakening.

I've been experiencing projections for 4yrs now and the side 
effects seem to show pleasure or pain. What I mean is, for those 
who'
ve experienced the vibrations before falling asleep can say
it's not the greatist feeling in the world and wish not to 
have anything to do with it!...


recently i
i've been doing some experiments with live video & audio camera
footage of myself falling asleep and producing a consciouness
projection while recording the physical body activity. I've not
been to succesfull but came close a few times.. once i deffinitly capture
the event then I'll be satisfied... I don't expect to see much but hope to 
understand how my physical body acts. so far i've knowticed during
sleep i'll raise my hands to my face and just hold my hand in front of my 
nose,mouth and eyes <yippie>, but i have a feeling that i'll see some
body movements, maybe rapid twiching etc..

about 5yrs ago, I was over a friends house taking a snooze on his bed
when I drifted into sleep I encountered the vibbs real bad.. anyways, 

my friend laying next to me said that I was making a little grumbling 
noise and nothing else.., but going thru the vibbs I was facing 
hell inside.. shaking like a tree, feeling a little scaredd etcc...
((sound familar?))........................

that was the whole event when this occured.

well, i'm tired.. just spent my whole day traveling 1600 miles from
mexico to detroit in which I'm about to pass out.....

if anyone wishes to respond..please do so....

They do not think about the root of the problem.  If a civilisation

own laws whether moral or not, you will probably see even worse
examples if you have time to see.
