Twin / Doubling Up Options

For the past few months, I have been trying to repeat certain things which have happened to me in obe. A few times, I have combined forms (accidentally) of myself and been surprised by the outcome. Although I try each night to accomplish this, I have had only one success. It was in lucid dreaming, however. The clarity was magnificent, but I was trying for it to be in obe. It's like ordering a fine wine and getting served grape juice. Sweet, but lacking in potency. I'm calling it a success, perhaps, because I don't want to feel like a complete arse.

Anyway, if anyone has tips or even casual advice, I would appreciate it. I should mention that this is taking up most of my resources and that my usual obe work and dreaming has fallen under. In fact, the last time I was even semi-lucid was a few days ago and that amounted to little more than watching a tall blonde man in a light green suit watching me from afar. This is very far from how good it can be and it worries me. My opinions are that I'm trying too hard, that it's time to just give up, that I need to step back and just let it come on its own, or that I'm afraid of it working.

Can yu please clarify what yu mean by this?

Yes, it would help if the readers were able to decipher what I was talking about.

A few times after I have left my body, a strange thing happens, my awareness is pulled forward into an extra body that seems to have been behind me the whole time. I am able to remember the coming forward through the current body and walking through it. At that moment, the initial body falls asleep. The exercise I'm attempting is to combine the two bodies into one. I've done it before, by accident, and this is what I am having trouble repeating.

The exercise should go like this, if I am properly remembering the previous sequences of events: 1) Leave body, 2) enjoy it for a time, 3) fall asleep using my current (2nd) body, 4) allow the 3rd body to come forward, 5) go back and enter the 2nd body with the 3rd body, thereby reawakening the 2nd and merging awareness.

Those are the actions that I am trying for.
