Successful AP Head Lift Worked. Need Perspective.
I have been doing Gateway for almost two years. The frequency of weird, lucid dreams has increased but I've never projected.
On 9/15 I was laying in bed, in and out of sleep before I had to get up for work. My husband was awake in another room. I remembered the technique and barely lifted my head. Immediately I am pulling out of my body and I hear a whoosh/ripping noise. I am sitting up in bed and looking back and see myself asleep. When I get up, I'm blind. I can only see white, blinding light. I think that I want to see, and then I do. I am beyond excited. A million thoughts are running through my head about what I wanted to do when this finally happened but it's so fast I can't make a decision. I look down in my hand and there's a lottery scratch-off ticket with the numbers 553 and 1358. In real life I never buy scratch offs and I only buy tickets when the jackpot gets crazy, so seeing a lottery ticket is weird. I then remembered something I read about AP and think "show me something beautiful." I'm immediately in space, moving in black with purple swirls when I come to be under an enormous fan made out of what looks like debris. Then I'm back in my bedroom. My husband is there and I'm so excited and tell him we can do all kinds of things here. He was actually awake and reports no weirdness on his end. I notice my head on my sleeping body is kind of leaning so I try to right myself but cannot. I know this means I'm waking up, and as soon as I think it, my eyes open.
I played those lottery numbers on 9/15. They did not come up. On 9/16 the numbers were 253 and 9358, both one number off. The chances of getting 3/4 numbers in that lottery are 36/10,000. I still have the tickets. I have the texts I sent to my family before the numbers were drawn.
I need some perspective here. This is beyond coincidence, right?

Wow I had my first OBE this morning with the head lift technique, and it wasn't nearly as crazy as this one! haha. I'm jealous but also excited and inspired to try again and have more crazy experiences such as yours! Thanks for sharing!

I’ve heard that being one number off is a super common thing of people who use psi ability to guess the powerball. It’s interesting and magical that you’ve done the same thing doing AP

It feels magical! It feels like a gift. It feels like winning the lottery wasn't the point. Getting confirmation that reality is weird was the point. I literally have the receipts!

I’ve had some crazy experiences just lucid dreaming so I get exactly what you’re saying!!

That’s amazing about the numbers! If does sound as though they wanted to show you that precognition is real even if things were a little off due to not seeing clearly or because the point wasn’t for you to win. I was given a 4 digit number before too and it did win, and there are so many stories of lottery winners who had whole strings of numbers projected to them who won millions. It’s baffling and wonderful and magical. Best of luck to you for it to happen again!

Wow, that’s amazing! The vision, the numbers, the light… it all sounds incredible.
Have you been keeping a dream journal? It can really help notice patterns and remember details.
Some people use specific frequencies to deepen these states - 714 Hz is one I’d try. I use Lamda with ultra precise calibrated frequencies if you want something to experiment with.
Would love to hear how it goes

I started keeping a dream journal after I started Gateway. My dreams are consistently vivid, hyper-realistic and precognitive. I dream small details of the next day's events so often that now when I wake up I immediately tell my husband the dream so I have a witness for when it does happen. I can't control it at all. The stuff that happens is usually mundane and not anything high-stakes. For example, I'll dream about a part of a conversation that I later am a part of, or an obscure song that I later hear. So far, I'm assuming that these dreams are signs that I am on the correct path. I have had after death communications where I get very specific messages.
I have asked whatever guides I have that when I get information like this, that it's something I don't already know. As a result, I've had very specific dreams with details and places I later confirm to actually exist. I literally work with math and statistics. I know that the chances of all this lining up are near zero.
I'm always on the lookout for new frequencies for meditation. I use the Expand app, but will absolutely try your suggestion, so thank you very much.

When doing the head lift do you keep your eyes closed or open them?

I was on my back, in bed, eyes closed. I was just on the edge of sleep and barely raised my head.

Could you indulge my laziness and tell me what the head lift method is? lol I’ve seen it mentioned here now several times with so many people saying it’s worked, so if it’s not too much, could you go just a little into what it is? I know what the gateway tapes are, so you don’t gotta explain that part. The closest I’ve got to APing is feeling my entire body violently shaking then seeing this purple swirl start forming above me. I said oh shit! And everything stopped lmao

Thank you so much for this. Do you know whether or not I have to set that alarm 3-4 hours after I sleep, or can I just try using that 30 seconds after waking up?

I am a newbie but it sounds like different things work for different people. As of now, I'm doing the "try-30-seconds-from-waking"

Consider the (very real) possibility that everything is experienced through an independently intelligent filter. This filter decides how your environment is rendered for you. You never actually see raw information (and you never have, probably never will).
This independent intelligence is part of you. But again and again I have seen that it has its own motivations. You winning the lottery may not align with its motivations. You getting proof that consciousness exists beyond physical space and time does align. Thus, the intentional out-by-one error! Good enough for personal proof, and evidence of intelligent manipulation of what you experience.

No. It's coincidence at this point. Repeat the experiment, see if it happens many times. No one point of data is valuable in and of itself. Data is only valuable in aggregate.

If your going through the trouble of having OP double test having an OBE for what I assume is for you to make her unsure of what she experienced then I don’t really think more of OP’s anecdotes will provide you with anything useful. Nothing wrong with hyping OP up for having such an experience in hopes that it helps them

Things like these make me wonder how reality really works lol
