Can I ap when I am snoring?

Hi all, can I ap when I am snoring? My mouth is closed and I can hear myself snoring. I am wondering if I can ap. Of course I can try but I am a bit amazed when I hear myself snoring that I get myself out of feeling relaxed.

The belief is that we all go out of body during deep sleep , but dont remember , or remember as a dream .

Hi desert rat, I believe that, we all go out of our body when we are in a deep sleep. When I hear myself snore I am aware that I am in my body.

I have been thinking about this more and more. I think I can ap but I just have to persevere when it happens. I tend to give up. I am not sure how I will ap but I will work it out when it happens.

Just repeeting what a number of others have stated . After 20 + years I have not got too far my self , but I have had a number of dreams that I was sure were from being out of body .

Last night I heard myself snore again. My mouth was closed. I was lying down for a while and it was getting late. I stopped because I needed to go to bed and get some sleep. I will keep trying. Hopefully I will succeed.

I can state unequivocally that one may hear oneself snore during meditation, when the mind is awake but the body has fallen asleep. I have projected during this state, though not while snoring, but I cannot see why snoring would impede the process.

I don't see why you shouldn't be able to ap even though you hear your body snoring, astralsuzy. At least that shows you were aware while sleeping. That's a good sign. If you had been sleeping deeply you wouldn't even have been conscious of snoring sounds.
That's just the body -doing its own thing. I think you can more or less ignore that, for ap purposes.

Next time you hear it, try thinking, "Oh that's my body snoring. That means I am sleeping but conscious and awake." And see where that takes you.....

Thanks Donna and Tobi. I found out I can ap when I am snoring. One time I did succeed. Other times I did not persevere with it. I gave up when I heard my husband going to bed. I am going to try to still keep trying when he is going to bed. He does not mind me doing what I am doing. I do not know myself very well. I did not know that I snore. I suppose it is a good thing as it is an indication that I am close to ap. When I hear myself snore, my mouth is always closed. I am aware of that. I will do what you suggest Tobi. I will let you know how it goes.

Snoring is only a hindrance if one chooses to allow it to be one so if you don't want it to stop you just choose that.
