I answered these accoring to my experience in Remote Presence other answers may apply when talking about OBEs.

1- When you breathe your chest naturally moves up and down, the only way to stop that is to stop breathing. Don't stop breathing!

2- Sometimes when RPing to a new location, or a place with shields I do get the random twitch or tick. If you are twitching a lot, stop practicing for a bit and resume when you've stopped compeletely.

3- I have never had random thoughts enter my head when calmly RPing, so that may apply more to the OBE skill.

3- If random things enter your head every two minutes, just try to gently bring it back to your original state. If you catch yourself thinking about something strange, when you were trying to think of nothing, just being your attention back to nothing. It takes practice... and it can be hard and annoying... but we all do it.

1) Not really... Sleep Paralysis sometimes helps. Lucid dreaming helps some people too. Just have to be able to be good at falling asleep . It takes practice.

2) Yes, that is true. Me personally, I knew I was out of body because it was just like walking around with my eyes closed. I could feel the walls of my room around me, and I would walk blindly out my door based on my memory of the room, and what walls I felt. Other times, I would "open" my eyes, only to realize that I opened my physical eyes. So my entire body would feel like it was in the middle of the room, while my vision stayed in my physical body. Talk about weird experiences .

3) I don't know... it's hard to gauge your process from a small description like that. The attitude you have to take is: no matter how long it takes, you will have an OBE. Make it a part of your life... like showering or doing homework. Just something you do every day or so without question. You'll get it. Read up more on it too, to get your head thinking about it during the day. RobertPeterson.org has an online book that is really cool.

As far as OBEs and RP goes... your body stays in one spot. It's your consciousness that seems to move. So, your body sits there, with all your clothes on, etc... while your consciousness moves around outside.

As for phasing, I don't know. If it's not mentioned in the articles, maybe Rainsong will reply to this...

Yes. Watch them telekinetically move something.

I heard rumors about it being bad for you to OBE while laying on your stomach... I have done it multiple times without any problems. I don't know where these myths come from, or why they pick on the position you body is in. The state of your mind is more important about where your limbs are resting.

Keep a written record of every dream you remember, each morning, in a notebook, with the date of each (standard method is to use the date of the night you went to bed, rather than the morning you woke up, but any consistent dating system ought to be fine). Then, when one "happens", go back and compare the reality to the dream.

In general, it makes no difference. Some people have a preference, one way or the other, and find that their workings are more accurate with one way than the other. The only way you'll know if you are one of these, is to keep records through several hundred pendling attempts, and see which one (if any) works better.

It's a gateway to your subconscious. Good for dealing with fears too - Lucid dream something you're afraid of, and gradually overcome it. You can hone skills too while in a dream. Maybe you want to be a better skateboarder? Well, create a halfpipe, and let it rip. You won't break any bones and it's cheap .

In my experience, if the dream walk is successful, the target will remember the dream that you entered.

For my dreamwalks to work, both me and the target have to be sleeping, so I'd say its more like a dream.

Try not to focus on it, but sure it's ok. It's better than your saliva building up a ton . If you're thinking about your saliva, you're not thinking about nothing. Calmly swallow the saliva and go back to thinking of nothing.
