- It sounds like you were too worried about what was happening to just let
- it happen. I've yet to separate my dreams from my OOBEs. Though I know
- that I am OOBEing, my mind still portrays dream images to me. Meaning
- that I OOBE and I'm in the familiar surroundings of wherever I'm at, but
- small discrepancies tell me that I'm caught in part dream part OOBE.
-
- That tingling you feel, as I know it, is the energy that flows through
- everything--if you follow. Your astral body is pure energy, or as close to
- pure energy as we've come thus far. You can control that energy just by
- thinking it through your body, it's kind of fun actually. When you're
- comfortable with the energy, it will grow stronger and when you OOBE it's
- really strong and feels good. Don't fear it, it's helpful. I've not
- experienced the muscle and exploding things, but that may be worry too,
- I'm not certain.
