OBERF is part of a triad of websites that is designed to collect information on all aspects of consciousness.  The main website is www.nderf.org which studies near-death experiences (NDE).  The next website is www.adcrf.org which studies after-death communication (ADC). OBERF studies all other aspects of consciousness that are not an NDE or ADC.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Soul to Soulmate comes at a time when the world desperately needs more love.  This book tells you how to find your soulmate or if you already have a mate, this book tells you how to transform the relationship into one of ultimate love and respect.  As with all relationships, nothing is simple.  There are three portions in the book to understand the basis of human consciousness and behavior, the psychology of relationships and love, and then how to find your soulmate.  The chapter that I was most excited about was the study of soulmates.  In the beginning, I didn’t put a lot of credence to the “love at first sight” and thought it was really “lust at first sight.”  Just as research on this generally accepted concept proved me wrong – there are many other discoveries waiting for you to learn in Soul to Soulmates!  I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Evidence of The Afterlife

NEWS ALERT: Evidence of the Afterlife became a New York Times bestseller eight days after its release!  There are only 16 books on the bestseller list.  This is the book that is already changing the world! 

Order your copy today!

Dr. Jeffrey Long, Jody Long, and Paul Perry have teamed up to write this blockbuster book that became an instant Amazon bestseller after Dr. Long's appearance on NBC's Today Show.  You can see Dr. Long's interview by clicking here.

"Evidence of the Afterlife" is by far the largest scientific study of NDE ever presented, and is based on researching over 1300 NDEs shared with NDERF. This book is scientific in content, yet easy and a delight to read.  The people whose stories are presented span all age groups, races, and religious affiliations and come from all over the world, yet the similarities in their experiences are as awe-inspiring as they are inexplicable.  Using this treasure trove of data, Dr. Long explains how medical evidence fails to explain these reports and why there is only one plausible explanation—that people have survived death and traveled to another dimension.

"Evidence of the Afterlife" is so compelling that it will either validate your existing knowledge or it will heartily challenge your current belief system with nine lines of irrefutable evidence of the afterlife.  There are no explanations, medical or otherwise, that one can reasonably conclude after reading this book except that there is an afterlife!

RESEARCH:

Spiritual Spectrum Overview, In order to fully understand what an out of body experience (OBE) is, it must be understood as one of many related spiritual spectrum phenomena.  An OBE can be defined as an experience in which a person seems to perceive the world from a location outside the physical body.[1] In this writing, I will look at the history of OBE and research findings on near death experiences (NDEs), the most extreme of OBEs.  An OBE is also compared and contrasted with dreams, lucid dreams, astral projection, and autoscopy. 4/21/02

Review of the Swiss Study on OBEs, by Jody 9/25/02 The study was published in the British journal Nature on 9/19/02.  Several media articles were published based upon this study.  This article takes a look at: 1) the study, 2) the media coverage, and 3) critical discussion of both, the study and the media. 

Healing and Paranormal Gifts: Survey Results Between NDErs and non-NDErs, by Jody 12/23/02  First of all I'd like to thank everyone who participated in this HUGE study.  We had 124 NDErs and 75 non-NDErs who participated in the survey. Without your help, we would never have such startling results to report on! The healing questions pertained to the meaning of healing, whether the participant had experienced any emotional or healing gifts and whether the timing of these gifts was before or after their NDE or other paranormal experience.  They were also asked if they had healed anyone, and if so to explain or give examples.  Past studies are reviewed.  Present tension between medicine and alternative healing is explored.  The main finding of this study is that healing and evidentiality of alternative healing depends on how a person views "healing."  Most of the time the way a person views healing is part of a larger belief system rather than a compartmentalized body of knowledge about the physical body.

Here are our newest experiences: 

Scott M Experience 5/19/12  I was in law school in San Diego about 22 years earlier. It was spring of 1977. I had been studying law cases, but I was also interested in world religions and had been studying about them also. As I was reading a law case I looked out the window to contemplate. As I was looking, a question I wondered about came back into my mind, and I asked, really wanting to know: "God, are you evolving too?  In an instant the whole of reality in front of me changed demeanor. I could still see the house below my window, the harbor, the airport in the distance and Point Loma, but all of a sudden it was all connected. Everything was one life. I just knew that I was part of it or really in some expanded part of me I was all of it! I knew that if I moved it would change reality and thus evolve it. In fact, I moved my little finger and it seemed like that small motion changed all reality. It was clear that everything we think or do affects everything.
STEs with remarkable insights.

Diana N Experience  5/14/12   As I was walking out of the kitchen to bring the lunch I made into the living room...my older son was walking up the hallway and we both stopped to not bump into one another. I then continued on to the living room to the younger two to give them their lunch. (which took all of 5 seconds) I turned back to go into the kitchen ..as I did I told my older son lunch was ready assuming he would still be in the kitchen. He wasn't there. At this point I thought it was odd he wasn't there since he had just walked in seconds before...but no big deal...he must have (very quickly) left the room. I walked down the hall into his room and he was in bed with his blanket covering his legs ..half laying down with his arms propped up on his pillows… I know from my son's reaction that it was not him who I nearly bumped into only minutes before.
Entity encounter with entity that appeared like her son.

Walter E Experience 5/14/12 As I stood where I was, I happen to look at the front of the church where the altar would be but instead of an alter was a bright light and out of the light I heard a very strong powerful voice tell me to come forward and go into the light. I became afraid and did not know why but I did not want to go into that light, but finally I did and once inside of the light, I felt that I know was part of the collective so to speak and was of one with the light as though it was a shower and then things were opened up to me to get my answers to my questions about religion and God.  I now knew why I was in that church and who those people in the room across from me was. They were the shells of lives that I have lived before and once I leave this life I would be standing behind the Nazi soldier to account for my deeds in each of those bodies for final judgment… After it I wondered if it was just my imagination I visited my mother until I called her the following day and she confirm everything I told her but did not know how it was possible I would know those things, since I was 3000 miles away at the time.
Meditation experience with encounter with past lives and joining a mystical light.  Also OBE to mother 3000 miles away, and later confirmed his OBE observations.

Kathleen S Shared Death Experience  5/15/12  In July 2009 her quality of life had deteriorated and we decided it was no longer fair to prolong her life. We called our vet and she came over to our house to put her down. I sat on the floor with Nelly and stroked her and let her know how much I loved her. The vet had given her a relaxing drug and when Nelly was relaxed enough our vet would give her the injection to stop her heart. When this injection was given to her, while sitting on the floor with Nelly, I heard a very loud whoosh noise and I could actually feel that Nelly was no longer in her body. I remember looking at her body and thinking that was all that was left. It changed my life forever and I know I will be with her again someday. We all are just shells for the soul within them.
Shared death experience with beloved pet dog.

Candy A Experience 5/14/12  At this time I realized I could allow myself to float up, and allowed myself to travel outside my house.  Once outside I was looking down on my house, the backyard and noted everything was in place, the play yard, trampoline, travel trailer and the dumb dog snoring.  Feeling content I allowed myself to explore, observing the city from above.  Visiting my friends houses, looking down from above, but not going inside.  Then I had the overwhelming feeling to lift myself higher and higher until I reached the clouds.  Still I wanted to go higher above the clouds, but I don't like losing sight of the area below and what's familiar to me.  I wanted to go higher, but I don't like not being able to see through the clouds into nothingness, as though I'm scared of getting lost if I lose visual sight of what I know.
OBE dream with travel far from home.  Also premonition of San Francisco earthquake.

Melody H Experience 4/22/12 At one point there were Spanish arches along the outward edge of the veranda and there was a beautiful brilliant, glowing light filling the space beyond.  The light had strips of white, silver, and pale yellow radiating outward from a center point.  I was drawn to the light and went toward it.  I was then standing on the curb of the veranda, the outermost edge, with the light flooding over and through me.  I knew that the light was God and heaven, and He let me stand there and experience the light and be filled with it.  I felt complete, unconditional love and acceptance, peace and wholeness.  The experience was overwhelming and euphoric, the extreme of spiritual bliss.  I don’t have the words to express the feeling or explain the intensity.  The light was so wonderful that impulsively I expressed the thought, “I’ll just go right now.”  In other words, I’ll save us both the trouble of life and death and go to heaven immediately.  I was even aware of making the first motion of stepping off the curb and directly into the light when I was told, “No, not now.”
STE in form of two dreams.

Richard M Experience 4/22/12 Suddenly, I realized in the dream what my attraction meant--that I really am gay after all.  I then felt so much shame because of this.....so much that my heart hurt--like it was breaking.  I then remember that I was laying in the tub with my back to the wall when, instantly, there was this bright white light shining on the wall in front of me in the shape of a cross--the wall I was sitting against had a hole in it above my head--this light was shining onto the wall in front of me, so I stood up to look into the hole that had opened up (in the shape of a cross).  I looked into this hole, and I stepped back thinking "This light should be hurting my eyes, but it was not doing so at all:  "I should be squinting my eyes."  I looked into the hole again, and I just went into it like one would just walk into another room, but I no longer felt my body.  Inside of this light there was a man standing in front of it--I did not see anyone else but this man, and with a deep, manly voice that I will never forget, He said "Everything will be alright, Rich."
STE as dream at age 14.

Carolina R Experience 4/22/12 From Mexico The next thing I remember is waking up in a corner in y room and staring at myself sleep. For a few moments it didn't seem strange, until I realized I was staring at my own body, still listening to music,  laying in bed still. This caused me to panic because I thought I had died. I looked at my hands, so I could pinch myself or touch my skin...anything, but I had no hands. Feet or any physical body. I was like a small sphere of light without any weight that was floating in a corner in my room. As a sphere, I could not move very well, as if I didn't control it fully, not because I couldn't but because I was not used to it. I panicked even more and then somehow I woke up in my real physical body.… I could see things in a 360 degree manner, I was not confined in that sense.
OBE dream from Mexico.

Olivia H Experience 4/15/12  I went to my Ma who was sitting at the kitchen table smoking a cigarette. I was above her watching her inhale and exhale. I tried to get her attention by calling out to her but she wouldn't respond. I even went directly in front of her face yelling at her, but she appeared to be staring not at me but right through me. I had to constantly push myself down from the ceiling with my hands. I just didn't like how everything looked from so high up. I eventually gave up with my Ma and right when I did it felt like I was moving but wasn't. It felt like I was going back to my room, but more... like I HAD to go back. I don't remember turning around and going back to my room, but the next thing I remember is just 'coming to' suddenly. When I came to I was sitting up in bed with the covers up;there was puke in my lap and my Ma was there cleaning me up. Neither me or my Ma know if I was sick with a cold at the time.
SOBE at age 2.

Trish Experience  4/15/12  All of a sudden we both heard very loud, as though it was just outside on the street, a Naval whistle that military Naval ships blow they call "piping onboard." It's the long 3 notes they sound during different times, as when dignitaries or such are coming on board the ship. My sister and I both looked up at each other and found out we both heard it as it was pretty loud. I ran to the door and looked outside and no one was there. I checked to make sure no TV's or radios were on and none were. It was just as quiet as before the whistle sounded. My dad that evening quietly passed away. We both believe that maybe my dad's buddies came to get him. I guess that sounds crazy but I have never heard any whistles or any such noises such as that before or after that day and I have lived here for 11 years. Plus, those men and that ship meant a lot to him.
Shared death experience witnessed by two sisters shortly before their father’s death.

Sam Experience 4/15/12  It was then that I realized I was outside of my body, but I had no idea of where I might be, as there was nothing my senses could relate to. It was an extremely unsettling experience and I felt that I was beyond any concepts of ‘time and space’ during the experience. I was in a formless place in which all was thought, without manifestation of forms. Then, I sensed two human-like 'beings', whom I felt were friendly and helpful, who arrived on both ‘sides’ next to me (although I had no form and neither did they) as if to guide me somewhere.  I remember asking them, telepathically just by thinking it, where we were going and they quickly answered me (without words being spoken) that we were going "Somewhere beautiful."
SOBE while walking down a street.

Linda S Experience 4/15/12 Back in the USA I was at my Mom's home glancing through a magazine. My Mom had just went upstairs when a strong force yanked me from my body. I was going faster  than the speed of light straight ahead. Then was going down. Came to a stop. Let out anger that I will not repeat for it serves no one. Once done I was again going down and the blackness was getting darker. At that point I cried out, "Lord Jesus have mercy on me! What came from my 'lips' did NOT come from my heart!"  Instantly I came back into my body and gently  too. My Mom had just come down and upon seeing me thought I was dying. Nope. Had already done that. Like a person who died from sudden death syndrome.
SOBE at time of emotional turmoil.

Cassidy B Experience 4/8/12  I was laying in bed asleep I think. it was strange the next thing I know, I am floating toward the ceiling, hovering over my body. it was unreal. I went to my body and I remember moving my arms and bending my legs. it was lifeless. and almost instantly I was standing in front of a house. I had never been there before. and I remember that it was around dusk and I remember the porch, the walkway, and across the road, which was small a two way, I remember the wooded area. the house was on a hill, and the next thing I remember was hearing loud music, I turned and looked at the car, it was a light brownish colored Cadillac. it was an older car but I guess pimped out. and the people in the car just started shooting. I remember getting hit in the chest falling back and then I just woke up… the turn we made was to a hill, vine street. that turn took me to the exact place that I was shot. before we got to the house (which was the same as in my "dream") I told my sister I had been here and she replied with a no I hadn't.
OBE with premonition of place she would visit later.

Dani G Experience  4/8/12 From Italy. The crucial fact about the experience (it is difficult for me to recall the exact sequence) is that I ‘remembered’ how I felt before coming to this life and how much I dearly cared for all the people I was to meet in this life. At the time of the experience I felt I had somehow been ‘tricked’ into coming into this life, because nobody had clearly explained to me that all these wonderful feelings of love may be turned into fear, hate and anger in every-day physical life. I felt somehow upset with my parents for having given birth to me. It is difficult to explain the feeling of how I was ‘tricked’ into investing all this love in something which would turn it into such painful feelings.  I KNEW for sure at the time that the greater my feelings of love ‘before’ my birth, the greater my vulnerability in this world was bound to be. I had NO IDEA on the other side that this would happen.  I also saw some crucial life events that were meant to happen, ‘before’ coming to this world, such as my meeting with and marrying my husband: in the experience it was like a picture of us together was taken to mark this event beyond space and time, but, at the same time, we were surrounded by distorting mirrors, and I saw how these crucial life events can be distorted in physical life.
Several spiritual experiences including a remembrance of pre-earthly life feelings. 

Annie N Experience 4/8/12  My husband and I were sleeping.  He'd been released from the hospital 8 hours previous after having a stroke.  I woke to what I thought was his snoring and when I rolled him over. His face was frozen with eyes open and mouth in a grimace and he couldn't take in much air, which was what I'd thought was snoring.  I thought he was having another stroke and called 911.  Since he was having trouble breathing, I had to get him off the bed to perform CPR.  I could not budge him.  I simply did not have the strength to move him...not right left or off the end.  I tried with all my might.  I had moved to the end of the bed and was beseeching "Please, oh please, no, please, no" and I realized that I could look down to the left and see myself.  I was slightly above, about one to two feet and about one foot to the right of myself.  Everything was real time and real place.  It lasted moments and I moved back to the side of the bed and the sensation did not recur.
SOBE during a frightening time that husband was having a seizure.

Dolores C Experience  4/8/12 Starting at a cellular level, I was expanding and seeing/sensing spirals and orbits of energy that interacted with each other.  The expansion grew to body organs and systems, then planets and the solar system and then on out into the universe.  This was very cool and the knowing had me wonder if I was dying.  After that thought came a concern about my son who was maybe 7 or 8 at the time.  The scene shifted and I was moving along a tunnel (maybe on a hospital type gurney).  Below me were geometric shapes that flashed colorful changing patterns of light.  And on the sides of the tunnel which seemed to be made out of earth, there were unusual hanging plants. I did not see or hear beings but I was aware of some type of presence.
Probable hallucination vs other experience that occurred during illness.  Experiencer is a microbiologist.

Sue H Experience 4/8/12 From the UK.  I had gone to bed alone, and always stood and looked at a little church across the street before I closed the curtains. I always smiled because there was a lovely star shining above the church in the sky... I awoke at approx 1 am to the sight of a beautiful and fairly large area of light in the corner of my bedroom. It was so bright, and yet I was able to look into it without hurting or squinting my eyes, and I could see that the light was running into the shape of a tunnel. I wasn't afraid and immediately began to smile because I knew instinctively that this light was of goodness and it made me feel so lovely. I was unable to move, and then felt myself being picked up so gently and lovingly and carried into the light. I could see myself from above lying on the bed still wearing a lovely smile, and then I heard a voice. Even though I understood what it said, it was just to beautiful in its tone to be human. The voice said to me, "Your my child and I love you" and then I felt a little quick kiss which I knew was to my spirit, I knew that in the light I was of spirit, and immediately after this I was carried back to my body....
Beautiful SOBE with NDE-like characteristics.

Bridgett H Experience 4/8/12 With all of my stress coming to a head I broke, feel to my knees and started to cry, then I could not breath and wanted to throw up but could not. I was gasping for air. the harder I tried to calm down the worse and worse it got.  my chest was tight and almost positive my blood pressure was through the roof! The next thing I remember is floating by my ceiling fan looking at myself on my knees unable to breath. a figure like a shadow (God or angel not sure) came behind me, touched me. As soon at he touched me ( I literally felt him ) I was back inside my body and he told me everything's going to be ok. (hard it plan as day he was right behind me. I got up and right away I stopped and was able to breath I got in to bed and slept like a baby. The next mourning I woke up and had such a burden off my shoulders feeling.
SOBE at time of great anxiety including encountering another loving entity.

Victor C Experience 4/8/12 This experience has shown me something that I would like to attempt to describe in words; what I believe is that while we are in this body, we are equipped with the consciousness that comes with it. The difference between how I view what this consciousness is, in relation to my view of what awareness is, are two different things. Awareness for me is what is behind the consciousness that comes with the functioning of mind and body. The awareness behind it however is of a much broader, infinite nature. The thoughts that we all have in our consciousness appear to be a constant stream that is continuous and linear in nature. However, upon intense concentration on what is an iota of time between our thoughts, I believe that what I have experienced was a gateway leading out of consciousness and into the hidden spectrum of pure awareness that lies beyond… . It was kind of like this; I wasn't thinking but if I did think, I would become what I was thinking. Therefore, I dared not think about anything because that would have meant that I would have manifested out of total awareness and bliss. Being in this state was beyond bliss, you want to stay there and not do anything to disturb it.
Among the most remarkable and inspiring meditation experience that we have ever received.

Jessica E Experience 3/31/12  I continued to watch myself get further and further away from myself. It was a creepy feeling. I seen myself holding my son just like I was when he fell asleep and looking oblivious to anything. I, my body self, didn't move at all. I saw myself from above and as I watched I felt so strange. I felt like I was really floating and light as a feather. There was no pain or anything just a lightness. Finally, knowing I was getting close to the roof I got afraid and tried to float back to myself but couldn't. I was worried about the baby because if he wake up and I wasn't present in my body he might fall out of my arms or anything else. That's some of what I was thinking. Then I was suddenly in the sky. I was in the clouds and there were some kind of entities with me. They looked like angels because they had wings and were beautiful. They were talking to me, telling me not to worry and that I was safe and, without words I knew I was somewhere almost holy.  There was a light above but behind me that looked pure white. I knew I was not supposed to go to it. I was only supposed to see it and stay where I was. I got to "fly" around for a while then it was time to go back. I don't remember any of the trip there or back except to my ceiling. Because of that I only remember looking down again from there at my body and "merging" with it. Then I instantly sat up awake.
Dream.  OBE to ceiling, then OBE in unearthly realm.

Danielle T Experience 3/24/12  I was letting go and not thinking of anything else, just feeling peace and comfort when suddenly a shadow created by the pleasant blue lights showed me the face of a man and even though it was dark I could see his profile perfectly with a perfect nose, a bit protuberant chin, military haircut, strong neck and I knew, somehow that his eyes were light but  not blue or green. It wasn’t anyone I knew. I could not hear a sound but he seemed like he was screaming at me, mad, as if shouting “Open your eyes!”, “Don’t give up!”, “Come back!”… Important Note: 3 months later I met the man that I saw in my experience and we got married in July 2011.
Prophetic vision seeing her future husband and son.

Jeremy R Experience 3/24/12 I once saw into heaven and saw a young girl there with radiant long blond hair.  I couldn't make out her face but I remember she was talking with some other young kids there.  I knew this girl somehow but I didn't know why.  Then she said to these other kids that she has a brother on Earth who's a pastor and I immediately knew she was speaking about me.  I just had this amazing awareness that I knew this.  Later I discovered my mother had lost two children to miscarriage after my little sister and I were born.  We actually have family siblings there and I have seen one of them.
Christian pastor shares a number of dreams and other experiences.

Leslie C Experience 3/4/12  It was most definitely a divine being!  There was the MOST brilliant, calming, beautiful light that radiated out of its face and body.  I have never seen a light like this before.  It had no face - just light.  It didn't ""speak"" to me but it spoke to me.  I was ""told"" I had a choice to either stop smoking and live longer or not and die but that I was not going to be judged for either decision.  I was given an ""impression"" of my soon to be Granddaughter (my daughter was not pregnant and is not pregnant that we know of) The divine one and its light was very comforting.  I have never felt so accepted and cared for in my life!  The being then motioned with its hand along the length of my body (the hand had no fingers- just a thumb like extension and all light) and I knew I had to leave and go back.  I didn't want to but I did because it told me to.
STE in recovery room shortly after medical procedure.

MT Experience 3/24/12 I was 17 years old and having sex with my steady boyfriend.   I had no sex information/training or anything.  While we were having sex, my spirit (?) or something major shot out of my body and I was "just out there!" Out there, where?   I don't know.  Shortly I was back in my body.   I tried to explain it to my boyfriend and he laughed and told me I had experienced an orgasm.   Well, today I am 65 years old and have never had anything like that transpire during sex or an orgasm.  I was shot out of my body and I felt it and it scared me badly.  It was very real.  I can remember it as if were 5 minutes ago.
Multiple experiences including SOBEs, ADCs, and others.

Janie K Experience 3/24/12 I was sat on my sofa in  my new flat on my own doing some work when I felt like I was watching my self from above typing my pulse went rapid and I have a throbbing pain in center of my boobs (no joke) and I felt sick. I was watching my self and felt like I was sinking further into the chair but I'm not actually moving and I'm just above myself.
SOBE while typing.

Zina P Experience  3/18/12 As I stood there, a small man walked up to me. He had a cap like Irishmen wear on his head pulled down low and he looked like a jockey. I said to him, "What is it?" And he said, "It's the stairway to heaven." I laughed because of the rock song and then I told him how beautiful it was, and he said, "Do you want to go? You could go up it." And I looked at it and said, "No, no I can't go right now… This experience happened just prior to my experiencing a corpus luteal disc rupture. I did not know I was bleeding internally and lost half my blood volume into my abdomen before I got medical care. I would have bled to death if I had not taken myself to the hospital. I had taken aspirin for the cramps which of course sped up the internal bleed! When i arrived at the hospital I was conscious (I had driven myself!) but had no measurable blood pressure… I wonder if there are other examples of pre-NDEs in other words people being offered a choice to stay or go prior to a life-threatening event?
Dream with choice of living or not, then nearly died a few days later.

Caroline Experience 3/7/12 I was in bed and had been sleeping but during the experience I was definitely not asleep.  I became aware of being enveloped in a beautiful white/gold light. The feeling was of being wrapped in total and indescribable love. It was euphoric and magnificent and filled my total being. it is impossible to describe the total bliss of the experience I just knew that I didn't want to leave ....I just wanted to stay connected to whatever this was. I was pure energy and aware of myself although I didn't have a body. there was the most beautiful sound although it was music as such...every sense was at the most heightened that I can imagine. there was no sense of time and no sense of things or beings....just this overwhelming love that I was part of. Although I can remember the experience with total clarity I yearn to feel the immenseness of it again.
SOBE with exceptionally blissful experience.

Robin L Experience 3/7/12 So, I was lying in bed praying the night before I was to take the job when I became aware that someone in a white robe was standing at the foot of my bed. I was startled but not frightened. I instantly knew I was seeing my older brother who had died shortly after he was born. He appeared to be a handsome, slightly built young man. I think he was smiling. In an instant he had moved over NEXT to the bed and he leaned over and said into my ear in a soft voice, "Have fun!"  So u stopped worrying & I went to school the next day with my baritone ukulele and I was just my enthusiastic self. We sang a lot of the children's songs my mother had written years before...and etc. It was a great four months!... my brother who I never knew in mortality, yet I recognized him and seemed to know who he was instantly.
Remarkable ADC from brother who died shortly after birth, and who she never met.  Brother reassured her at a difficult time in her life.

Priyanka R Experience  3/7/12 From India  After a while I stopped reading and was staring at the ceiling. Suddenly my body felt heavy and couldn't move or talk. I tried to move myself desperately and tried to reach for my husband. I thought I was going through a Heart attack or something. But then i suddenly found myself climbing down the stairs reaching for the main door as someone was knocking on it. I also saw my living Mother-in-Law reaching for the same door to open it for the person outside. I asked to wait and I would open the door for her. But she reached to door before me and opened it. As soon as she opened it a bright light came from outside and I could see everything going on reverse action. My mother got back to her room and I came upstairs to my room and suddenly I could move my body. I immediately reached for the Upanayana wore by my husband and he looked towards me. I asked him to go downstairs immediately to check on my mother-in-law. We went downstairs and she was fine. I asked if she got out of bed. She said no.
From India.  Good example of sleep paralysis.

Annie Experience  3/4/12  Here is the conversation I had with the man:  "Hello. My name is The Buddha. I am here for your assistance and am amble to help with whatever questions or concerns you may have."  "Thank you so much for communicating with me today. It is a pleasure to meet you."  This was not the voice of the spirit guide I had been contacting recently. He was different and had a different vibrational presence. It was interesting how he referred to Himself as The Buddha. I think he did this to show that he was an enlightened being. His voice sounded like a white man.  I thought what I may what to ask or learn about. I paused and was unable to say something right away.  "Go ahead, sat it, don't be afraid", He chuckled.  "I'm gay."  It was the first thing that came to mind. Being a somewhat closeted lesbian, I often wonder what the other side has to say about homosexuality.  The voice laughed excitedly." Of Course you're gay!" He laughed. "If God had created all people to be alike then you wouldn't be gay. Everyone would be completely straight."
Communication with a being that identified themselves as The Buddha at age 17.

Ladonna R Experience 3/4/12  Only one time did I have an out of body experience, and was surprised by it. I left my body, floating directly above, maybe 15 feet up, and could see the massage therapist and my body. as soon as I realized that I was where I was, I became immediately back in my body. I told the massage therapist about my experience and she stated that she had had other clients tell her the same thing. at another time in my life, I was hit by a car while walking. as my body neared the ground my life flashed in front of my eyes, with what seemed like everything that had ever occurred in my life. I could not see the ground until I hit. for some time after this I could remember many of the events.
SOBE during a massage and life review experience after being hit by a car prior to hitting ground.

Beheshti Experience 3/4/12 From Iran.  These kind of experiences are so ordinary in our religious beliefs, even we Muslim believe that human being has this ability to deliberately export his spirit out of his physical body and so other abilities.  But these all are facilities and the main aim is some thing else!... I was in Imam REZA Haram in Mashhad and I was speaking with him in my mind (He was not physically alive at the moment) .during speaking and praying I heard  my heart that beat slow and slower...it stop beating.  But i was alive and conscious… I had just gotten feed back from my lord.  It was not me any more.  It was him who had my soul.
Prayer experience from Iran involving prayer to an Imam.

Flora A Experience 2/27/12  From Argentina  Translated to English by Simon.  It was while I was waking that I had the experience, which could have been an NDE, I don't know if my life was at risk or not, I was alone, nobody questioned anything, so I don't know what really happened nor did I ask for explanations afterwards, I just paid for my stay and went off quite happy for the beautiful experience, happy and in peace. The tunnel was formed by luminous bucket-shaped forms, linked into each other and at the other end a powerful light could be seen, but which did not dazzle. I moved toward the light and next to me were my deceased parents accompanying me with their presence, I could just feel that they were with me. On one side of the tunnel I saw my brother and his wife, who are still alive, and I said to them, "It's beautiful here, papa and mama are with me. On reaching the end of the passageway Jesus was waiting for me, dressed in shining white, and with infinite tenderness he stretched out his hand for me to cross to the other side, but I said to him "I can't. My daughter needs me, she is still very small and she only has me to care for her."
NDE-like experience from hitting his funny bone.

Mark F Experience  2/19/12  My son overdosed. I was being pushed by my doctor to give up, just days from the accident. Neurosurgeons told me he was brain dead and there was no hope. It was because his situation was so bad, they had no hope… I was shown all of the prayer for Kevin coming from earth, it was a vision from the east coast looking west across the country and the prayers were spotlights shining individually but joining together with some reaching higher than others and looking like a 3D bar graph of sorts. I had prayer groups praying for Kevin all the way to Texas. I sent emails every night telling everyone of Kevin’s status… Kevin blazed through recovery amazing everyone. The story is long and filled with love, family and miracles. Kevin is about to get his G.E.D.
Son overdosed and was considered brain dead.  Mystical experience happened followed by inexplicable healing.

Rebecca P Experience 2/11/12 I refused the blindfold...saying I wanted to look my murderers in the eye.  I remember looking at each one...then the shots rang out and my head slumped forward.  I left the top of my head and drifted upward.  As I drifted I felt the most penetrating and overwhelming feeling of love and knowing.  I remember thinking Shakespeare is right...life is a stage and we are all just players in it.  I felt complete forgiveness for the firing squad for everyone...forgiveness isn't even the right word there was nothing to forgive...a deep understanding came over me.
OBE dream with interesting NDE-like content.

Monica B Experience 2/11/12 Then I put my head through a part that had a closet on the other side, and I saw the things inside it. I then walked towards the door and I wondered if it was possible to touch the door and open it. I think now that I had to focus then on that idea and doing so, it worked... I opened it. Then I walk towards my parent's room and I saw them sleeping, but suddenly I saw my mom sit up and she told me that I should not be doing that. In that moment I went immediately back to my body, opened my eyes and noticed my heart was beating like crazy.
OBE Dream from Columbia at age 14.

Kevin P Experience 2/11/12 From Wales, UK   As I saw these specks, I heard indistinct noises all around me similar to that of a rushing sound: like the whoosh of a high-speed train in the open air. I was propelled to this light by sound, sounding like an engine or turbine of shorts. Once passed the noise, I felt as if I had gone missing. This experience was entirely unexpected. Once 'there', I felt undeserving in all manner, style and expression. This is where matters took a turn for the emotional-side, I kept on crying, crying for acceptance-- It would be better for me to be deprived of a limb than to not gain the approval of this light... all in all, this being my first OBE experience was marked by seriousness, love and affection.
OBE dream with unexpected content.

Debra H Experience 2/11/12 I was taken to the OR for the delivery of my still born. The contractions were very difficult to handle. Suddenly whenever a contraction started I found myself floating in the corner of the ceiling watching a my body leave my body. It was as though there were 3 of me. The farther the body moved away from my body the pain decreased. I would relax and then the whole process started over. I have never heard of anybody having a third body.
Rare description of being OBE and then observing “my body leave my body” during delivery.

Rhonda D Experience 2/11/12 I glowed as brilliant as the sun, but soft because it didn't hurt my eyes. Inside my hand, because it was transparent, were millions of glitter or sparkles. And with that realization I became elated. It was the most wonderful feeling I have ever felt in my life. I kept thinking to myself, ‘I am so beautiful. Oh my, how beautiful I am.’ And then, this warm feeling of joy and ecstasy just consumed me… as I was admiring myself and bathing in the joy I thought or maybe someone said in my head or whatever it was that I had, and it was not said in a mean way it was said in a humorous way as if this person or myself was so pleased with my joy but yet had to remind me why I was there - ‘All right, stop admiring yourself. You have a job to do.’ And with that I began moving.
STE dream with remarkable detail shared about an exceptional experience.

Andras Experience 2/11/12  However in this particular 'dream' I found myself in a very bright, white place, with nothing material I can remember of. There were no borders, no real dimensions, I can't recall anything familiar. I can only remember some very strong emotions, very pure happiness, joy, excitement, some kind of wholeness, with no pain or fear at all. (I'd always been a very nervous child in real life with heightened - both positive and negative - feelings.) I wasn't even afraid of being away from my home, let alone my parents, being at a distant, unknown and very curious place. There was someone, some sort of friend I believe, who "guided me" through the place. We knew very well, the time had been coming for us to see God's face. I didn't know what that meant, but I knew instantly that this was the only thing I ever needed, the purpose of my life. I felt like a chosen member of a community, like undergoing some kind of initiation process, but this didn't include any negative feelings such as arrogance or pride.
SOBE dream at age 7 or 8 in Hungary.

Kathy C Experience 2/11/12  After much insane behavior the men lined the remaining three of us up on the ground execution style. I had not prayed for years, I knew it was over. I made a promise if I were spared I would do anything to make changes in my out of control life. I was living a fast, selfish, vane, partying existence. At the moment I made the promise time stood still, as if by some force outside of the scene one of the men did a complete 180 and talked the other men out of killing us… A third generation Comanche medicine man who ran the Indian Medicine program at a local hospital called me. How he found me God only knows. He said they, the Native American ancestors told him to come and help me.
Nearly killed by criminals, then life-changing OBE.  Remarkable spiritual transformation.

Jacqui G Experience 2/11/12  From Scotland. The biggest surprise to me about my OBE was that I could still see and think. I remember thinking that!!  I got such a shock when I saw my body...I thought I must've died.  I just kind of floated there not knowing what to do, I was scared. I could see the top of my wardrobe and wondered why my face was very near the ceiling. I noticed that a plant which I had on top of the wardrobe had dropped 3 leaves which had turned brown and were lying on the top of the wardrobe. I also felt 'physical' but not. ..very hard to explain. I felt like I had arms because I remember moving my right arm slowly down to feel underneath me starting to realize that there was nothing beneath me and that I was floating. This movement of moving the right arm down spun me right over! (Like as if I was doing an Eskimo-roll in a kayak). It was then I saw myself lying below.

Linda L Experience 1/29/12 I was unable to sleep, so listened to my favorite relaxation tapes. Still unable to sleep I got out of bed to look out of the bedroom window, when I turned back to return to bed I was aware of looking at myself asleep on the bed.  I instantly felt a love for my familiar shape as I lay on one side, eyes firmly shut, my arm stretched upwards on the pillow.  I thought WOW, this is what it is like to be outside of your body.  I felt I was in the corner of the bedroom, looking down on the sleeping forms of myself and that of my husband. I enjoyed watching myself, my sleeping husband and looking around the room for a few moments, then thought how do I return to my body.  As you think, your thought processes bring you immediately to where you want to be, which was the light switch.  I tried to switch on the lights, but nothing happened.
SOBE in bedroom.

Betty C Experience 1/22/12  My husband and I pulled in to the roadside rest instantly I saw a flash of brilliant white light. I was in a cloudy mist. I saw Jesus I was following him His arm and hand was behind him I think I was holding his hand. It was a peaceful feeling loving atmosphere until I turned around I got scared. I realized I was up in the sky with Jesus and I looked down and saw my body in the car. Suddenly I saw a brilliant light then I returned to my body, I could not move then gradually I was able to move. This was an experience I shall never forget.
SOBE with encounter with Jesus.

Tim J Experience 1/22/12  I called the people at the house that I went to. I described the ones in the house, what they were wearing, and the old trunk in the middle of the floor. She accused me of looking in her window. She explained the trunk had just been brought inside the house a few minutes before that call.... called my friend, who was at the house I visited. She was 750 miles from me and calling me a liar. I had her to return my phone call to prove that I was where I said I was at. She about fainted when she heard my voice on the phone.
OBE dream with verified OBE observations 750 miles away.

Justin M Experience  1/22/12   Meanwhile, I sat up in bed completely stunned that somehow the 'energy' from these 2 short male beings was able to so strongly impact the physical world that it caused a moderately heavy mattress (which was leaned against the closed door at an angle that took some strength to place it that way and couldn't move backwards due to the basic laws of gravity!) to fall backwards and hit the carpet with a thud.
Entity Encounter with physical evidence corroborating.

Sue V Experience 1/22/12  I had been going through a period that I was enveloped with the fear of death and dying. Questioning what happens to you when you die. A big nothingness, a forgotten existance. I didn't want to die! I was raised without religion and my best friend went to a Catholic school and was conflicted with the question of is there a Savior, a God? I would go to bed many nights thinking of death and crying myself to sleep. I began to pray that I needed to know, please help me, give me a sign, relieve my saddened heart… I think because the experience frightened me ... like was I just dead? And just as quickly as that emotion came over me, a realization struck me. The knowledge that my prayer had been answered, my experience was a gift from God. I was part of something larger than the physical world, there was "life" beyond this Earth. I did not need to live in fear anymore.
OBE dream with important message around age 12.

JoAnn T Experience  1/21/12 My M.D. came to me after the cath. and told me I was fine and could go home.  I said how could I be, I saw the tests just a couple of days ago and saw the blockages.  And then I said, well I'll go on a diet and loose weight and jog  ad eat better.  He said " don't change a thing, your heart is not only fine, its' perfect, keep on doing what you are doing. We don't understand what happened, but your heart turned literally upside down in your chest and you no longer have the blockages or the valve problem.  I went home then, knowing that I had passed onto the next lifetime without dying.
Other experiences including healing, OBEs, and more.

Steve Experience 1/18/12  I felt a great curiosity about how this person -- the physical me -- looked. I was closely examining the face of the body when, with a great gasp, I woke up -- back in the body -- looking up at where my spirit face had just been peering into my physical face. I quickly got up and looked outside and the same kids were playing on the sidewalk just like they had been when I, as a spirit, had been looking outside a moment earlier. I don't think the other experiences are worth mentioning. This one though, was absolutely real and showed me that we are conscious beings connected in a tenuous manner to the physical body that we put on at birth.
OBE dream with OBE observations verified after experience.

EP Experience  1/8/12  I have had the following experience/memory all my life. When I say ‘all my life’ I literally mean just that – not only is it the first or earliest thing I remember but I *know* that it happened before the rest of my life, so to speak. I have always had this memory. Always. I have thought about it from age 0 – if that’s possible. I clearly remember thinking about it when I was at least 3, and intrinsically know that it ‘happened’ way before that age… I am drifting up a tunnel. It is vast, and white. To my right and above, near me, is another being/person, whom I recall as possibly being female, and somehow ‘with’ me. We are drifting up. There are others drifting up too, although further away. When I reach near the top, I’m looking up, and all around the edge of the circular tunnel are faces looking down at me, dozens/hundreds. All are angelic, beautiful, off the scale. This is in fact a rather large understatement. The sense of love is not describable. I have a strong (that would be the biggest understatement in the universe) urge to be with them.
Probable pre-birth remembrance.  Very NDE-like.

Victor H Experience 1/8/12  I was in the hosp. in Kansas Univ. Med. Ctr. I had a chronically infected gland surgically removed from my under my chin earlier that day. I'm allergic to penicillin so I was given nafcillin. All during the day I was having severe chest pains. The med staff told me I was young and it was nothing. Around 10:40 pm I was in bed watching Nightline with Ted Koppel. I had a severe very deep chest pain. I was immediately out of my body. I was over my body looking down on myself. I could see the blue rays from the TV on my body and Ted Koppel still talking. I was afraid and asked "what's going on?" I said "God please help me!" When I said that I was back in my body and started pushing the Nurse call button.
SOBE following surgery.

Shirley J Experience 1/8/12   Although she was only 4 months old when she died, but somehow I felt she was able to communicate with me at that level and she comforted me and told me she was doing well and happy. I had tears of joy and sadness at the same time that I knew she must stay there. I put her back on the shelf and the door opened. it was my grandmother again. I stepped outside and she told me without speaking to me that I needed to go back.
Remarkable STE encountering deceased relatives and her own child who died of SIDS at four months old.

Susan B Experience 1/8/12  I remember that physical objects around me, walls, furniture, everything,  was not solid. All physical objects were almost transparent, sort of fuzzy.   So, I put my hand out and it went through the wall. I then decided to experiment further so I flew around my neighborhood at about 4 feet or so off the ground. I flew through many of my neighbors homes, looking with interest at objects they had in their house. Occasionally I came across people but they did not notice me.
Interesting OBE and ADCs.

Marc S Experience 1/8/12 From Chile.   Original in Spanish, translated to English by Simon.   My body shuddered in every fiber, I rose through a stream of light, and arrived at a place which was white, illuminated, fulfilling, peace, love like a vital energy... I was with someone who showed me my failures of love and with a Superior being who gave me Forgiveness, Peace and Love. I understood "brother son, sister moon". I saw that He is one and three. I can say no more... I came back to my body, when I could not move, nor open my eyes.
Transcendent dream or OBE after meditation.

Marilou S Experience  12/31/11  We were looking down on me, in a hospital bed. I recall conversing for quite awhile, but I don't remember anything we spoke about until the question, "Do you want to stay or come with us?".  I remember thinking that it would be okay to go, but I wanted to stay with my twin.  At the moment I thought this, I woke up.  At first I didn't remember what day it was.  Then I touched my throat.  No lump.  I ran to my mother in the kitchen and told her she didn't have to worry about me anymore, because the lump in my throat was gone.  Naturally, she thought I was just scared, and didn't want to go to the hospital, but when she looked at my throat, she immediately called the Dr. and took me to the hospital.  After the Dr. examined me, he confirmed that the lump was gone, but he had no idea how it could have disappeared.
Mystical disappearance of a throat lump at age 5, the night before surgery, after an angel appeared to her in a dream.

Brad N Experience 12/30/11  From Australia.  As the angel took me up out of my room and up towards the upper atmosphere it was talking to me the hole time and telling me things about the reasons as to why we live and learn on Earth to help us to evolve our spirit. The Angel told me that it was "all a learning experience".  WE moved on from there into heaven where I was taken to a Beautiful building that had a clear ceiling that you could see out to the heavens. I was introduced to family ancestors and people that I had met that had passed over. I was filled with love and joy that I can not describe when I was in there presence, It was like we could feel each others love and joy as though it was one energy. The angel gave me time with the past family and friends and then we moved into another part of the building to a room where I met two Very wise male figures who spoke to me about my life. I absolutely loved being in their Presence.
Exceptional STE dream which was very NDE-like.  Remarkable spiritual wisdom.

Kobe M Experience 12/30/11  I was laying in bed unable to sleep and I prayed for help. the next thing I knew was that I was a amalgamation of iridescent light just floating in space among maybe another 2 dozen groups of light. somehow I knew that the other groups of light were other souls. but what I felt was incredible, total acceptance, total sense of being cherished, total love, at least a thousand times greater than any love I have felt here on earth. the feeling of total joy and happiness felt like a singing that was going on between all of us, a sort of harmonizing. I knew I could not stay there so I asked to stay a little longer and the others said sure. I stayed approximately 40 minutes and I read their souls and they were saying stuff like 'look at the new kid and there was lots of laughter in fun. the feeling of total rapture was part of all of us and all of the space we were in, the universe I guess, we were all one. for some odd reason, I knew I was in the dimension that you go to when you die.
OBE dream from Buddhist.  Interesting visit to unearthly realm.

Glenda G Experience 12/30/11 But there were three steps that led up to a platform of sorts, and there was a door across from the steps.  I instinctively knew that every person and every animal I have ever loved in my life was alive and well beyond that door.  They were all waiting for me.  Now I understood everything. This was my “mansion” that Jesus speaks about in John 14: 1-3 which also happens to be my favorite verse in the Gospel.  It assured me that there would be a place for me in “heaven”.  I was here.  This place was mine. It was being built and personalized just for me.  I can’t even describe the overwhelming joy I felt, or the atmosphere of love and acceptance I was surrounded by. I wanted to stay; and they were telling me that I could. I was loved. I was a part of this amazing place.
OBE vs. NDE.  Was physically compromised several days after surgery.  Quite NDE-like experience.

Brad N Experience  12/21/11 Roughly 5km up the Highway on a bend I noticed some cars on the side of the road, but didn't think much of it.  As we got a little further around I got a thought which was "turn your head", I looked back past the (B) Pillar to my right  down a deep embankment to see a car crashed into a a large tree and a lot of People around  the incident, I told the wife that I have to turn around while the wife was arguing with me that there was nothing there. I got out of the car and  went to the edge of the cliff, were I saw the accident.
Interesting intuitive experience.

Matthew G Experience  12/16/11 I believe that my daughter was dreaming of playing in her walker, which at the time, was her favorite toy, and some how had an OBE. and was actually playing out side of her body, I heard "giggling" and the sound of the walker rolling, after I picked up the walker and put it where we keep it, for the second time that day, I went to see if they were awake yet. They were sound asleep.
Interesting experience where daughter’s toy appeared in doorway.  Possibly due to daughter’s OBE at the time.

Katherine B Experience 12/11/11 I went all over the place sometimes walking and sometimes floating.  In buildings and by streams and outdoor things. I went to a place with a tree and there were two dogs there.  One ran up to me and it was BB the dog I used to have here that died violently by a neighbor boy shooting him multiple times with his .22 rifle.  This was about five years ago that he died. I petted him and his fur was smooth.  I thought to myself, boy I had forgotten how smooth and soft BB's fur was.  He seemed fit and happy to see me and was playful.  Then I went indoors in a room and floated up toward the ceiling.  I stopped at the ceiling.
OBE dream including encounter with deceased pet dog.

Bob S Experience 12/11/11  I went over to the man in charge and was having a conversation about my life on earth. "Why was it so hard" was the main focal point.  The man told me that he tried to warn me but I wouldn't listen.  I was confused, and in a split second a memory was given to me, not shown but experienced. I remembered going to earth to be born, I was very happy and exited and couldn't wait to go live in a physical body on earth. The man in charge was pleading with me to wait, "it's too soon, it's not time yet" the man kept telling me as I was darting very happily to earth. (I was born two months early, and barely weighed 4 lbs.) That moment I knew why I was premature birth.
SOBE dream with remarkable unearthly experience and awareness of his pre-mortal existence.

Martin H Experience 12/11/11 From the UK I wanted to know if I could go up higher? I said to myself go up? At amazing speed I was travelling higher and higher in seconds I was above the Earth, again I wanted to see how far I could go. I once again looked deep into space and passed Saturn and then other planets. I kept saying faster faster faster. I remember leaving the galaxy and saw amazing sights throughout the universe… I moved forward I don't know how but moved forward, I saw a female who I thought I knew but could not recognize? Very attractive and reclining on a beautiful chaise lounge. The walls to her place were three sided and kept changing color (very iridescent) I asked her can any body have this, she replied that all you have to do is think it and whatever you think you can have. You can even think parts of your time that you enjoyed.
NDE-like  Remarkable unworldly journey.

Sandra C Experience  12/11/11 From Canada.  Almost drowned found self in a situation where I was about to die - next thing you know I have - a 'loud' slap of electricity in my head and I feel like a hand picked me up from my dangerous place and was 'thrown' on the beach - by what felt like a giant hand… my inner tube was stuck around a dead head tree rapids behind me right before the event I understood I had no other choice than to follow the voice in my head that said on the count of three push the inner tube down and you will be okay pushed and bang the 'shock' upside my head and bang dropped on the shore not very gently no viewers of the event the event has stayed in my mind for years as ODD.
Was at risk of drowning in inner-tube accident.  Heard voice say to push down on inner-tube.  Felt she was transported to shore without her remembering it.

Sonya Experience 11/27/11  Then I saw my 6 year old daughter was on her way to our room. I remember thinking that I needed to get back to me before she got there. Then, feeling a little humorous, I reached down to slap me on the butt. But I got scared when my body got up and stood next to the bed and I was still out of me. I closed my eyes and said get back where you belong and when I opened my eyes I was standing next to the bed back in myself. I don’t know if I was sleep-walking or not. I don’t have a history of it. So, I tend to think it was real.
SOBE involving seeing herself stand up out of bed while OBE.

Audriana Experience 11/27/11  When this was happening, I felt a lot of fear because I was definitely out of my comfort zone because I was not in control at all. I couldn't look away from her eyes, like I was in a trance or something, and she wouldn't break the eye contact either, I really don't know how long it was because when I was out of my body with her it was as if time didn't exist. Our spirits were just... There. Her eyes felt like black holes, almost as if she was sucking my spirit out of my body, but not intentionally or in an evil way at all. It just sort of happened.
SOBE with friend.

Christian M Experience 11/21/11  From Italy.   Original in Italian, translated to English by Joan.   It was 7 in the morning on November 4, 2011, and I was sleeping.  All of a sudden I saw myself coming down from above towards my head, and I managed to see the door in front of me opened.  Immediately after, I woke up, but I was stomach down and it was impossible that I could have seen the door.   
OBEs that started as a dream.

Stephen I Experiences  11/19/11  I came into work the next morning and noticed he wasn't in his bed. I was informed that he was in the ICU (intensive care unit). They had had a heart attack. They coded him 3 times (coded is when the heart stops and they have to shock them to bring them back). His family didn't want to let him go so they would not sign a "do not resuscitate" order. They made 3 attempts to bring him back and he and I did 3 "pulls" in our tug of war in my dream! He survived.  Two remarkable shared death experience dreams from a nurse with his patient.  One day, a couple of weeks before she passed, she was chatting away with this unseen child. I asked her to ask him what his name was. She turned her head away from me and said in the direction of the little boy, “What’s your name?” I asked her if he answered her and she said, “He said his name is Lolo.” I broke out in a sweat…Entity encounters at age 4 and later.  Deathbed vision of mother who described being she saw as same name contributor used for entity as a child.

Mark R Experience 10/29/11  I fell into the very deep sleep, which by now was familiar. During the night--I have no idea how long I had been asleep--I "fell" instantly awake, only to find I was paralyzed. I COULD NOT MOVE! However, I COULD FEEL. I began to feel the sensation of my "Life Force" leaving my appendages (fingertips, fingers, toes); then that Life Force leaving my extremities (head, hands, arms, feet, legs). My Life Force was gathering in my solar plexus. The amount of time required for the Life Force to flee my bodily parts and gather in my solar plexus was perhaps one minute. Then my Life Force made to exit my body, through my chest. A baseball-size mass ATTACHED TO A METALLIC, SILVER WIRE, was VERY FORCEFULLY making its way out of my breast, eventually fully emerging, but yet tethered to my body via the silver wire.
SOBE at age 13.  Shared 50 years later.

Sally Experience 11/5/11  From the UK  When I got closer to the bright white light, I remember seeing rows and rows of hands, all held open as if to greet me and welcome me.  There were no bodies attached, no faces and no-one spoke.  All communication was done with thought transmission.  These were beings of light.  I felt tremendous love all around me, it was so intense, I was completely engulfed by it and I felt such enormous relief – all my sadness had completely vanished.  I felt so relaxed and peaceful and totally loved.
OBE dream that is remarkably NDE-like.

Wally Experience 11/5/11  I remember saying "I'm Here, I'm Here. This lasted for about 10 amazing seconds then I pulled back and was looking into the light. "Come or Go" was said. I thought about my wife next to me and my 4 children so young. I wanted to go back to what I just experience but didn't want to leave my family. I started fighting back into my body and the pain in my neck came back. I started making a weird noise, my wife rolled over and I came back. I darted up out of my laid down position with a massive pain in my chest as if a bee had just stung me and my neck throbbing. Within 10 minutes the pain was gone. I looked at what happened as a gift from Jesus and didn't seek medical attention. Since then I started eating extremely healthy and lost 50 pounds.
STE with NDE-like content.
