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.

(1)How did you learn to have lucid dreams?...Especially if you're going to practice more than just consous dreaming.


(2)If this is all you wish to do invoke a lucid dream and create a body sized mirror and see your relfection as the embodiment you wish to merge with... Just let your intent guide you.

Acid09 - (1)The part where I was confused about your statement was when you said "Follow your modle that taught you how to be clarivoyant then find where semi-lucidity is at." I took it to mean that you were suggesting that I map where my awareness is at in my non-physical body at the time of lucidity or obe. You did not mean this, however. I found the words confusing, so thank you for clarifying.

(2) No. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif). The mechanics are not what is giving me a headache. I know the steps needed to accomplish the operation. Your steps sound interesting, but I am not looking to make it more complex. That is not in my best interests, but will consider it in the future after I have overcome my current concern.

My troubles can be summed up easily. My mind (or whatever) is balking at getting the job done. Normally, I have no problem getting lucid or out. Since determining that I wanted to accomplish this, and demanding that it be done, I have been blocked. That is the only problem.
