This is what happened to me, many years ago, after my very first successful deliberate wake induced OBE. I had been trying to project for several months at this time, and had made a projection attempt almost every night for the previous two weeks. Trying to balance everything, relaxation, trance, energy, technique, etc, for a conscious exit projection is very difficult and can take some time to master. At this time, I was sleeping in a strange house and bed as I was watching over a depressed (suicidal) friend who was asleep in another room at the time.

Peter was a dear friend of mine, from many years ago. We were best mates all through high school. I had not seen him for fifteen years when I bumped into him by accident, in a tavern near where I used to work several years ago. I was on afternoon shift and used to call in there occasionally, on a hot night, for a quick beer on my way home. We recognised each other immediately and sat together at the bar, getting reacquainted until closing time.
