sun), probably helped me a lot and calmed me down, as I
finally managed to sense my real body and found myself in
reality. Nevertheless, after I got up, I immediately started to
verify for about half a minute that I was no longer in the
phase by touching objects, making sure that they were hard,
and feeling all of my bodily sensations.

All my entries into the phase were spontaneous via lucid
dreaming or in a state of very dim consciousness. This was
my first fully conscious separation. Because of this, it felt like
REAL FUN.
I returned from a business trip and went to bed with an
eye-mask on at 3 PM. I attempted to enter the phase by direct
methods, but fell asleep. I woke up in about 3 hours without
movement, but with a feeling that I had woken up completely
(M.R.: no separation). Nevertheless, something told me to try
to move my arm - in case it was my phantom arm. The arm
started to rise together with the duvet. I had a feeling that
the duvet was covering my head as well (which was not true),
and therefore decided to raise the arm higher to test whether
it was my phantom arm or not, as at some point there would
be light from the window if it indeed was my real arm. No,
there was no light and I realized it was my phantom arm. I
tried to roll out with the arm. At first, separation was partial. I
tried again and rolled out from the bed and ended up on all
fours on the floor. Vision appeared almost immediately. I
started palpating the floor, walls, and window shades, feeling
the texture. Then I rose and started clapping my hands.
There was sound. Then I went to explore the rooms (M.R.: no
plan of action). I passed by a mirror. I looked at myself and
saw myself there with dark glasses and a wide smile,
although I was not smiling at the time. I went into a room
and saw a beautiful partition wall made into an aquarium. I
saw people behind the partition and went there – and then, a
foul! (M.R.: no maintaining)An attempt to separate again did
not work.
My main mistake in the phase was in not taking the
clues that the deepening was not sufficient. The clues were:
