Introduction

You are reading a relatively comprehensive lesson on how to achieve astral

projections/OOBEs. The file you are reading (DO_OBE.PDF) is the version of this book being

released in cyberspace in Adobe Acrobate 4.0 format. A text file (unformated) version of do_obe

(DO_OBE.TXT) is available, and information for obtaining the unformated version can be

obtained by going to the web link:

http://www.geocities.com/ddegraci/index.html

This file was written as notes for an on-line class I gave in the New Age forum on

CompuServe during May and June of 1994. I am releasing these notes to the Public Domain

essentially as a free book on how to lucid dream/astral project/OBE. Please note however that all

of the material is copyrighted.

I hope you will find this material useful and enjoyable. I have stressed a practical

approach to inducing astral projections/OOBEs while at the same time trying to provide a

reasonable balance between differing views of this phenomena.

About the author

Since 1987, I’ve had numerous lucid dreams/projections, OBEs or whatever you want to

call it. I’m an avid student of occultism, science, history, social science, philosophy and Marvel

comic books. My whole orientation towards the OOBE involves a point of view that seeks to

synthesize scientific and occult knowledge. I have a Bachelors of Science degree in chemistry,
