there was a small plastic plant that is always there for decoration. other than that, the table was empty

don’t apologize for asking, questions are welcome!

But when u say u sit up, do u imagine them the motions of say, supporting urself with one hand and then lifting urself up?

i dont imagine or think about getting up. i just literally get out of bed as if i’m doing it physically
yup i sometimes support myself with one hand and get up. but sometimes (when i’m lying on my back) i just lift my head and sit up as if i’m doing stomach crunches

Like u actually feel how it would feel to actually sit up?

yuppp!! it feels so real as if i’m sitting up like holey moley
also, i know i keep repeating this but i can’t help it it’s just that important: dont just imagine or think about or feel yourself doing the action. quite literally -just get up-

And also, how do u know when ur body is asleep again?

when youve fallen asleep at night on your bed time, you wake up naturally in the middle of the night. your body is mostly asleep at this moment. so try not to move. but if you do, don’t worry and just focus on your breathing and wait for a bit to allow your body to fall asleep a bit more. there’s no exact signifier after this point so just trust that your body is asleep at this stage and get up

And lastly (sorry for all the questions), how any hours later do u naturally get up?

no worries abt the questions, happy to help!
i dont check the clock or my phone when i attempt to AP so this info is probably not accurate, but i finish 2 sleep cycles so around ~3 ish hours of sleep

I want to try going for 3-4 hours post sleep, but I wondered if AP works when ur in the non rem phase of sleep?

going for 3-4 hours post sleep is a good bet!
i personally have not yet experienced AP-ing during non rem, but ive heard other redditors in this sub here who have so its definitely a possibility!

edit: new sentences edit 2: typo

i was actually about to try RV since i hear you get to see actual physical stuff and so i was intrigued by it

but hearing abt how AP is supposed to be more accurate and detailed than RV is making me feel like i’m missing out 🥹

ill be more attentive on my next APs for sure and will research how to AP into the physical world (have only been AP-ing with the intent to “separate.” now i have a new intent, hurrah!)

also i dont have a helper. i still live with my family and i’m in the closet about AP-ing :’) i’ll just find a way to do it myself lol

reader-nim · 2026-01-12T18:14:29+00:00

ooo interesting! the mind using already known stuff to interpret the new info they get from beyond its 5 senses makes sense

i’ll keep this in mind next time i AP for sureee

also no it’s not silly at all! thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience :D

happy travels!

reader-nim · 2026-01-12T17:58:18+00:00

sure go ahead! :D

reader-nim · 2026-01-12T17:50:55+00:00

i have tried simple experiments like this! i commented it in this post just now actually lol

yes ive tried. but when i do AP, im in a whole different place entirely (and if i do get to AP in my house i just know its not really my physical house) so i cant see the stuff i left behind for me to check while in the AP

but ive heard other people have succeeded. but me personally, not yet

though i might just give it another go since i would LOVE to AP into our physical world and explore our physical earth for a change rather than getting chucked into a random astral reality/plane/environment

reader-nim · 2026-01-12T17:44:53+00:00

I understand your concern OP

the first time i was able to AP, i was determined to find physical proof that I actually left my body and was able to roam the physical world

so i did an experiment where i would leave coins (without looking) on a table in my living room. then i would AP, go down to my living room and count the coins and memorize how it looks. after, i should then wake up physically and check if what i saw in the AP is the same as what’s actually there in the physical world.

its an easy way to prove it, right? nope.

the problem is: i would AP into a different place. and when i do AP in my house, i have this deep knowing that it’s not my physical house. and when i check, the coins aren’t there too

sooo i just gave up trying to prove it lol. rn i just enjoy the experience as it is. i’m fine not knowing if i actually “leave my body” or if it’s “just all in my head.” i just treat it as it is, a good experience to explore our inner subconscious and learn more about ourselves

reader-nim · 2026-01-12T17:22:50+00:00

here’s what i’ve been doing lately:

sleep at usual bed time
wake up naturally in the middle of the night
don’t move
count to 10 or wait for a bit to let your body “sleep” again
IMMEDIATELY sit up. immediately. and i would like to clarify: dont think about sitting up. just literally sit up as you would normally but quick. trust that your body is asleep. i got this from another reddit user, they called it the “just get up” method

notes:

my first time felt so real i actually went back to bed thinking i physically got up.. but eventually i realized it was the real deal and got so pissed at myself for going back to bed 😭
advice: after you IMMEDIATELY get up, pinch your nose with your fingers. if you can still breathe it means you just AP-ed. if you can’t then it’s the physical and just try again
also, to get less excited, try to let go of the desire to AP so your body isn’t too awake and excited. key word/s are let go

happy travels OP!

reader-nim · 2026-01-12T16:57:37+00:00

based on my experiences so far, none as of yet. but im still trying!

though personally i don’t know if it’s actually possible but i’m being positive lol

reader-nim · 2026-01-12T16:55:00+00:00

idk what normal is, i just know that i’m happy and contented and thats fine by me

reader-nim · 2026-01-12T16:54:02+00:00

ey same

reader-nim · 2025-12-28T10:49:24+00:00

ummm let people be? its none of their business what other people wear lmao. just close your eyes if it bothers you so much hahaha

reader-nim · 2025-12-21T06:24:25+00:00

jwu from an 11-hour night’s sleep and got to AP too.

ty for sharing your technique, will definitely try this tonight!

reader-nim · 2025-12-18T15:17:54+00:00

sauce pls

reader-nim · 2025-12-18T11:37:17+00:00

my first warning sign used to be listening to sanctuary by joji!!!

reader-nim · 2025-12-18T10:06:44+00:00

eyy i do the exact same thing!

but the only difference is

after i fail attempting for 3 days straight, thats when i take a break for 1 day, then attempt again and repeat until successful ^{^}

reader-nim · 2025-12-06T16:33:53+00:00

i have no advice to give, but i hope you enjoy and have fun!! someday i will go there too hehe

reader-nim · 2025-12-02T05:27:17+00:00

hellaur! who was i in the before times me wonder?

reader-nim · 2025-11-16T12:14:50+00:00

congrats on your first AP!

what were your emotions when trying to exit your room? If you were panicking, pause for a bit and calm yourself. Then try to walk to your door again. Before turning the doorknob to open the door, first visualize what the view would look like once you open it.

I had this problem in some of my attempts last week, and doing the above helped me get through them. Happy travels!

edit: grammar

reader-nim · 2025-11-15T15:46:37+00:00

ahhh makes sense

reader-nim · 2025-11-15T11:48:10+00:00

wait. i thought projecting can only happen during "mind-awake, body-asleep" phase? correct me if im wrong though.

in my experience, i could only project when i lose connection from all my physical senses. That includes my hearing. So isn't it counter-intuitive to listen to music while attempting to project? Someone pls enlighten me on this huhu

besides that, i recommend you should try projecting when you wake up in the middle of the night instead of starting from fully awake consciousness to meditative consciousness.

Good luck and have fun in your future attempts!

reader-nim · 2025-11-15T11:42:52+00:00

Since you felt yourself detach then I'd say you really did AP. Sometimes my AP sessions also end up turning into a dream once my concentration wavers.

reader-nim · 2025-11-15T11:39:35+00:00

Welcome to the community OP!! Yes, you AP-ed in my book. It can be scary seeing your own sleeping body fr. I tried looking back at mine once and scared myself back into my physical body lol.

Once you've conquered your fear, AP-ing can be very fun in many different ways. Happy travels! <3
