Truly, the most interesting things almost always happen
unexpectedly.
After a sufficiently long break in my attempts to go to
the other world, tonight I decided to try it again. I threw in
the towel after yet another unsuccessful attempt, rolled to my
other side, and decided to simply get a good night’s sleep. I
do not know exactly how much time passed while I lay down
and thought about what I was still doing wrong while
observing interesting images that my imagination was
drawing. But at one fine moment, I suddenly felt the
phenomenon that is commonly referred to as vibrations. I
started to intensify them (I should add that the feeling is
indescribable), but I could not levitate, though I really wanted
to take a look at myself from the outside. I decided to simply
stand up, and that’s when it all became most interesting! The
entire process of transitioning from a horizontal position to a
vertical one was accompanied by increasingly palpable
vibrations and a louder and louder roaring sound in my head.
The sensation was the same as that experienced after going
to bed after not having slept for 24 hours and then being
suddenly roused by somebody: my head spun, everything
started crackling inside of it, and I was about to lose
consciousness. Then, a flickering picture started to appear. It
stabilized after one or two seconds, the roaring in my head
died down, and I realized that I was sitting on my bed.
I was in my apartment, thought it was noticeably
altered. My room seemed more or less the same, though the
interior was indeed different upon detailed examination (M.R.:
no deepening). For example, my mobile phone, which is
always within a reach, was somehow an older and different
model. It turned out to be the first object that I tested, as I
suddenly wanted very much to find out what time it was and
check which day of the month it was (M.R.: no plan of
action). I distinctly felt the phone in my hand, but upon
attempting to concentrate on and look at the display, I was
thrown back into the reality.
I immediately climbed back out of my body and decided
to simply pace around the apartment while trying to
remember what I could experiment on. I tried to conjure an
object, but that didn’t work and resulted in some mental
