Colart Experience 6/20/09
From Belgium
This is when, while
falling asleep, I told to myself, “If only I could do something for all
these dead people”… then I felt as if I was listened to, and I saw a very
light blue glow. Then I exited my body, as if somebody had taken my hand and
made me go out. I then followed this person, I only saw his hand. We entered
a tunnel and I said, “I feel well”. In this completely dark tunnel, as I
followed him, I saw wonderful purple butterflies which flew with us in the
tunnel. These butterflies journeyed like my guide and I. Then we arrived to
our goal. Never shall I be able to describe this place because it was so
beautiful, a truly wonderful landscape. There were unending big valleys,
vegetation everywhere, a very beautiful color for a green…blue sky with some
clouds. I felt great inner peace. Then I watched the hand that waved to me
while saying, “Look at the river”. I looked back and then saw a stream that
flowed so far away… it was so beautiful…it meandered, it was not straight
and represented life with its ups and downs… I then understood that life is
a wonderful journey and that you should always keep hoping.

Karen Experience 2/22/09
I decided to go over to
my mother's house to show her what I could do. she lives very close by. I
opened my door for pup to go outside. I went out the door in regular fashion,
shut the door as usual - it's winter. I floated to my
mother's house. no detour or accidentally floating somewhere else. her lights
were on like they should be. she looked out the door. puppy walked, she didn't
seemed concerned at all that I was floating.
OBE to mother's house.

Karen D Experience 2/22/09
I was running away from
someone in the casino. It was really fun. I wasn't flying but I was moving
really fast, "running", going right close to people. I was moving so fast, it
was sometimes blurry. I was right in with the crowd who were gambling, drinking
and socializing, mostly oblivious to me. All of a sudden, I woke
up and I was in the van unable to move. I just happened to wake up maybe about a
minute before P walked out to the van. I couldn't move. I laid there paralyzed
like. She said "why were you
running away from me in the casino?". I said "I wasn't. I was out here
sleeping." It took a lot of effort to say those few words. She
was really mad.
Bi-location or an OBE? Her friend saw her.
149. Synesthe Experience 2/22/09 I thought I should get back to my body, so I flew up my stairs, only to find instead of my body lying there, it was a mound of flesh. I still tried to get inside, and had to re-grow my bones and stretch out the flesh. It was excruciatingly painful. While I have had OBEs before in sleep, this was different. During my normal OBEs I just fly to wherever I want and control the "dream."
148. Andreas M Experience 2/6/09 Thought provoking meditation experience.
147.
Linda U Experience
12/20/08
Within
seconds it happened. I shot out of my body at an incredible speed enveloped
in a golden light. Suddenly I was in a void. The void was microscopic and
infinitely huge at the same time. It was the most soothing color of brown or
gray. I've never seen a color like it on earth. I felt completely at home
and comforted--both peaceful and ecstatic at the same time. Then I heard a
voice that was louder than anything I'd ever heard before. It was so loud it
should have hurt my ear drums. But it didn't. It was soothing. It said,
"EVERYTHING IS NOW." And with those words came a sudden understanding so
huge, so great, so infinite. I understood everything all at once.
Meditation experience.
146.
Rob Experience
12/15/08
From Canada
Then the energy began to pulsate again. This time, I was "sucked" into a
dimension where thoughts manifest as reality. Colors flow past in streams,
lights appear and flicker, then disappear. To show that I was in a timeless
place a clock with no hands appears and floats past, to show that I had
access to unlimited knowledge, the largest mathematical equation I've ever
seen appeared, hovering in front of me. Then a voice, more like a vibration
resonated through me that told me "you are what you are and it's okay"! So I
enquired "what am I then?" and was "sucked" to another dimension where
except for blackness was a being. It was of height, width and depth beyond
what I could view or comprehend. It was composed totally of light, not
really of a "brightness" perse, but luminous nonetheless. After a moment to
become aware of "it", I was pulled as a magnet draws metal into it. It's
essence is of all that is, love, or of being the source of the energy that
binds and animates all. To call it God I guess would suffice.
Very transcendent meditation experience at age 16.
145.
Fay A Experience
12/1/08
From U.K.
I'm so glad to have had such a beautiful experience because when I actually
went physically to my friend's house I saw all that I saw in my 'dream'.
All the changes in their house, their cooking and eating routines and also
the absence of their family pets made me realize it wasn't just a dream, I
think literally travelled there in spirit.
Several experiences. Dream with detailed and accurate observations of a
house in Italy while she was in Canada.
144.
Emad Experience
11/27/08
From
Palestine. Original in Arabic.
Wonderful life there
and its real, usually some body there waits for me talking to me but I could
not see him. Once I looked at my self and for my amazement it was made of
light. I could see my body laying on bed and I could hear my wife talking to
my baby but I couldn’t speak. Every experience I could go to any place
I wanted to, there time is not time and the places there are different from
places here. I can see things are going to be realty to me or to family or
friends in near future.
OBEs
and Sleep paralysis.
143.
Sara Experience
10/19/08
I could fly over London, or be in a Maxfield Parish painting. It was
as real as I am sitting here right now. Fun, amazing, and life
changing. One time ,one of my first times, I went to a place that my
friends were at to find out if this was real or just my imagination. I
was able to fly there, and they were there and I saw what my friend was
wearing and the next day I asked what she was wearing and it was true.
I absolutely was floored…
Multiple OBEs
142.
Ema Experience
10/18/08
From
Kuwait. Original in Arabic.
It was happened at 23:10 , Wednesday , 16/04/2008, for several
minutes, and I had it after two days again, it began as a dream my friend
shout wake up wake up, it was like a heart attack. I saw my body was laying
on the abdomen. My soul was between the bed and my body. I opened my soul
eyes, then I saw the bed which became wavelike limpid like a glass, I
scared, I was alertness I saw in the dark not cleared physiognomy of a girl.
I thought that she was my classmate, so I tried to call her but she didn't
respond. I was afraid that she could be a genii or strange being; I noticed
that somebody was beside her. At that moment my soul was gathering with my
body. But this time without pain or any noises it was easy and I was very
happy. I expected that the bed will be hard again, and then suddenly I
decided not to come back inside my body. I decided to go and visit a friend;
I took that risk in spite that may I will not be able to get back to my
body. I wanted to visit Hamod. I haven't see him for long time and I love
him so much. I couldn't do that because the soul refused to go. I was
forced to returned into my body. When I woke up I had a severe pain in my
eyes because I opened the eyes of my soul too much
She describes several
OBEs.

Ivan R Experience
10/12/08
From
Australia.
I was sitting on a balcony, second floor off the ground. I was looking out
into the distance and was 'letting my vision go'. I was playing with this
all day without really realizing what I was doing. I was deliberately
zooming up to trees that where great distances away as if I were right
beside them and was making them sway with me. I was zooming my vision right
in front of buildings on opposite streets and making them float and rotate.
I did not realize I was leaving my body until I was zooming in towards a
wall on the opposite side of the road. I thought at the time it was just my
'vision' that was situated on the road, then I turned sideways to see a
motor bike come towards me then hit me. I snapped back into my body with a
great shock, and I had a corked thigh the same side I saw the motor bike
ride into me. I was over 30 meters away from the road on a balcony and I was
some what conscious through the whole experience. I was zooming into
everything around me all day not really realizing what I was doing, I was
just 'letting my mind go'.
Induced OBE. Could zoom vision close to distant objects & “make them rotate…”.
140.
G ne Experience
10/3/08
I tried to
turn and I moved my arms and I could feel the ceiling but I was too weak to
turn my body. I said no, this must be a dream, I said a prayer ‘Besmele’ and
nothing happened. I sensed in my brain that I shall think to turn myself.
And I succeeded, while my face was looking to the ceiling, I turned to my
bed and I could not believe my eyes when I saw my body in my bed. The
magazine was in my lap. I tried to reach to my body but in vein, I went to
the balcony’s door. I saw at the military café my friends and family. You
can turn around and you can not speak at all, or make a noise. Suddenly I
saw Marmaris’s night streets, I was with phenomenal speed on my way to the
place my friends wanted me to meet, it took me only 1-2 seconds. I saw my
friends and they drank. One of them was on top of a car and was singing. It
felt nice. I could travel where I wanted, the wind did not overthrow me, but
I felt that the wind was carrying me to the place I want to be. In an
instance, I was back with the same speed and I remember to go in my room
back and I went in my body back and I jumped up from my bed.
OBE
from Teenage Muslim boy from Turkey

SS Yogi Experience
9/29/08
I felt the
whole Universe - Sun, Moon and other planets coming in my way
transcendentally and I also felt that I am being blessed by the heaven with
pouring colored powder on me through an Elephant nose shape thing and all
these were seen through transcendentally- while closing the eyes. This
phenomenon continued for many days. Semi Red colored light came from my
forehead eight times. Also I heard the great sound OHM during the period and
it is still continuing.
Remarkable meditation experience from India. He is Hindu.
138.
Kerry S Experience
9/27/08
1. Out of
body briefly in motorcycle accident, witnessed my body hit the car and the
ground and then reintegrated. Age 20. 2. Went through a tunnel into a
woman's eyes while we gazed at each other on a couch. Vision dimmed to a
light at a tunnel end, I went through the tunnel and expanded to fill the
room in a state of unity with her. Coming out all I could say was "I love
you". Age 20
Multiple varied OBEs.
137.
Paula N Experience
8/17/08
After a few sessions she told me that besides the traumatic experience with
my husband there was trauma in my childhood and I had matured beyond my
years in many aspects but that emotionally I had stopped growing at a young
age. She suggested that she help regress slowly to try to find the reason
for this and resolve it. We talked about things I remembered, we did role
playing, etc. One session we started as usual and the next thing I am aware
of is this woman on her knees, next to me asking if I was ok and if she
should call an ambulance. She told me that we were talking and all of a
sudden I curled up in a fetal position and went very white. The whole thing
lasted just a couple of minutes. From my perspective I remember seeing the
whole room from the vantage point of the opposite corner of the room by the
ceiling. I remember what the room, furniture looked like from a perspective
I could not have from the normal sitting/standing areas in the room.
OBE to ceiling during counseling session.
136. Marcos A Experience 7/29/08 From Portugal. English & Spanish. Original in Spanish, translated to English by Simon. If you want an idea of how I saw it, I would say that if you look at the surface of a road at a distance on a hot day, that sensation that there is something seeming to move (the optical illusion produced by the heat), that is more or less how it was. That is, not liquid, but definitely energy. I have no words to describe the sensations and emotions I felt in that place. The word "peace" is what most resembles what I felt, though I am still aware that this word falls short of the concept of what is felt there. It is a total plenitude, infinite happiness, peace impossible to feel here on earth. I remember that I smiled with all my being, I could not stop smiling, as never, even in glimpses, had I felt such an intensity of happiness. I remember looking down and seeing myself floating in that place.
135.
Christopher E Experience 7/20/08
From Nigeria
Well the more warning! the more the other force I can't explain is pulling
me toward other venture, at all this stage I clearly understand that I am
out of my body! cause I feel same way as I feel now writing all this down,
but the peculiar thing is that while standing in my village I can still see
my body sleeping in my friend's room far away in Germany. While trying
to put all this things together, my eyes opened more to my immediate
environment ! I started seeing all the dead elderly people of my kindred,
they where all happy in there various compound some cooking while some are
doing other domestic works, from the spot I was standing I could see every
compound and all the past dead elderly people of our kindred!
From individual living in Nigeria. Probable dream.
134.
Pam H Experience 7/20/08 Some
areas look like teaching areas and some look like here on earth. Some look
like a choreographic musical and everybody is singing and dancing. I have
also been able to be in the future looking at now. I know it doesn't make
sense, but it IS possible. It is very awesome. Time periods can be viewed
almost as "rooms". In many instances, "higher spiritual" beings have
observed me. Almost as if I was an "alien" to them. They want to know what I
can see and have only a few times, received warnings. They are not allowed
to give you a lot of information. You can ask for considerations of changes
in your current life and they can actually "pull up" your chart. However,
they are not allowed to look inside of it. They can only psychically guess
what has happened in the past and have you confirm it. It is impossible to
lie, because everyone has the ability to read your mind.
Multiple experiences that are remarkably spiritual in nature.
133.
Larry B Experience 7/6/08
There were 2
within about a 2 week period. Both occurred while I was driving singing
praise to God and basically feeling really good. The first occurred as I was
entering an off ramp from the turnpike it lifted me approximately 500 feet
above the truck judging from my view of both the truck and its surroundings.
It lasted approximately 30 seconds judging by how far the truck traveled as
I was viewing. Three things went thru my mind in this time . God who’s
driving the truck was first next was am I like out of here and third was
what’s my family going to do without me. All of which was pretty fine scary
at the time. I immediately found myself back behind the steering wheel
totally shocked but yet extremely peaceful and relaxed spent the rest of the
day doing my job and wondering if I had gone over the fine edge and should
have my self committed.
Two OBEs while driving a truck.
132.
Gregory HM Experience 3/11/08 I
remember the beginning of the dream. There emerged our of deep-sleep
darkness, luminous orange ovals against deep brown. The orange morphed
into moist peeled carrots on tilled earth. Sensing a presence, I look
up. A person sits before me, writing. Robed in black to elbow
and knee, facial profile obscured by glossy shoulder length hair, her
un-tanned forearms and legs are slender and long. She is beautiful and
I am glad she is here. I strain to see a page of the book in her lap.
Very detailed writing about an OBE. He has
advanced degree in religion.
131.
Anita G Experience 3/9/08
From Australia
I was wide
awake, I felt the breeze, looked at the clock, 2.00am saw the hallway night
lamp on, heard my young son toss and turn and turned to look at my husband
who seemed to be sitting up in bed. I thought this was unusual so I went to
put my hand on him, he was just looking forward and in a unusual daze, when
I went to touch him, my hand went straight through him, it scared me so I
jumped up and saw him sitting up but his body was lying down, it was really
weird and frightening. I first put my head in my pillow and screamed a
little, then I gathered my thoughts and looked and touched him again and the
same thing happened, I then felt his lie down body to feel if he was
breathing and I pushed him until he moved, then everything went back to
normal, his second body was gone.
Witnessed husband’s non-physical body sitting up in bed with his physical
body lying down.
130.
Alexander Experience 1/13/08
From Moscow, Original in Russian, translated to English by Sergey.
In such situations I don't
feel my body; my consciousness is somewhere near to my eyes. Naturally, I start
worrying; first thoughts like "Am I dead?" come to me and then I start
struggling, i.e. trying to use my will to make my body act. And after about
third or sixth try (usually) everything starts obeying my will, i.e. my body
"comes alive", if you can say that. It usually happens like this: from the head
(brain) a soft tingling energy wave (I'm trying to find a proper description)
goes down through my body
, like a spring breeze.
Beginning of OBEs and describes the precursor
of sleep paralysis.
129.
Lyn R Experiences 1/13/08
From Australia
I found
myself out in space, looking at the planet earth, and I was thinking "wow, I
am out" and I thought (I think I even spoke out loud) "Hi" as I was trying
to communicate to earth. I heard the word "hi" vibrate very loudly and I
could see a kind of string going from me to earth and I thought it was a
communication line of some sort. I could see a huge black cloud in front of
the planet which covered about 1/3 of the earth. The earth was extremely
beautiful and with bright colors (like on Google Earth). I got frightened
when I heard my voice resonate all the way to earth, and suddenly I was back
in my body, sitting upright and thinking "WOW".
Several OBEs described.
128.
Matt Experiences 12/16/07
Then words started
appearing. One word at a time. Slowly at first, then speeding up. The
first group of words I recall were, This is a joke about the center of the
universe. When these words went by in my "mind" (mind is the only word I
can think of to describe.) I felt a since of awe, denial, understanding,
and a thirst to know more. The words at this point speed up to the point
were it was hard to catch every word but I got the general idea of what was
being translated and said. The words were stating the basic laws and
rules of the universe. I at this point realized that I was having de javu,
to the very beginning of the universe. At that realization there was a
"snapback" and I was once again, matt, standing on the front porch of my
friends house. Although it felt like a good 3 to 4 hours had passed, I
looked at my watch and it had only been about 2 minutes.
Extensive number of very remarkable experiences.
127.
Karl R Experience 12/10/07
I was sitting in a chair facing another person, and saying a mantra
(meaningless set of words). I backed out of my body, the experience was like
looking at the other person through a set of long wrapping paper tubes. My
mouth felt different as I spoke. The first thought I had was, "Oh my God, I
am not a body!". I continued to speak, and it struck me that I was thinking
all these thoughts and still carrying on this mantra, and I thought "I
wonder if I could have another thought and still carry on this
conversation?" As soon as I had that thought, I had another thought process
running in parallel to the other thought and to the conversation. I wondered
if I could do this again, and as soon as I had the thought, I had another
separate thought going in parallel to the other. I did this until I had 4
separate thoughts go simultaneously in addition is the mantra. (I thought
that was pretty special). I noticed how good I felt, it was like I was pure
joy and love wrapped together.
OBE during meditation experience.
126.
Chai C Experience 12/10/07
I turn back, I see my flesh body lying on the bed beside my mum and I
shocked and gathered all my strength and scream out loud. The scream woke
my mum up and I feel like flash. my soul is like attached to my body. Once
that thing release me, I feel my soul bounce back. I can t explain the
feeling of being soul… Then she ask her Buddhist master to help me. He went
into the room and come out after an hour. He said there is uncle hanging
himself there long ago and he tried to get me as his replacement. The
master said he had persuaded him to go and leave this room, leaving this
room alone. The uncle refuse him rudely. So we are asked not to occupy
this room anymore. Actually I was told, the master have the power to catch
him but he didn't do so. Because if he catch that ghost, he'll forever can't
get his reincarnation. He want to save the good deeds.
Several OBEs that sound like sleep paralysis. Interesting Buddhist
perspective on the experiences. Experience happened in Malaysia.
125.
Laura Experience 10/14/07 I
was very awake and felt I was in my body (but different in a way I cannot
explain). Anyway, went into the living room to see my husband. He was
sitting in the living room watching TV with a magazine on his lap. I think I
said something to him, but he didn't answer. He got up and went to the
bathroom, then went to the mirror and started picking on something on his
face. I don't remember saying anything to him at this point, but remember
standing behind him and (think) I was in the mirror too. Suddenly I was
jolted back to my body. I almost jumped up out of bed immediately, I was
feeling a mixture of fear, confusion, but intense excitement too! I knew
something amazing just happened, but didn't understand exactly what.
OBE associated with meditation.
124.
Rich W Experience 8/18/07
The physical plane
is the plane of pain. None of the other systems I have visited (in over 200
experiences) have pain as part of it's game plan. -There's way more
than the astral plane. Another way to say this is that there are some
worlds, planes, dimensions, reality systems, Universes, and Multi-verses
that exist in consciousness that to call them astral travels or out of body
experiences is (although convenient) not always accurate. -There's a
Greater Reality, it's vast and all kinds of Beings Human and non-human are
playing on many different planes of existence.
Fascinating and a MUST read!
Examples and summaries of large number of OBEs.
123.
Gordy R Experience 8/16/07
"Its
Timothy...Tim!" I was so surprised because he answered me before I had the
question posed... it happened again and again after as I tried to ask
subsequent questions. One question was, about some thing I was concerned
about and he had them answered again before I could even present them. One
was of my immediate future and he replied, "You haven't got a thing to worry
about, relax and keep doing your best, you will be ok, all your needs will
be supplied." Well that validated it for me, I was at my full senses,
totally alert and he knew exactly what the next question I was going to ask,
I really felt by him doing that, that it validated it for me...I now know my
spirit Guides name...I feel my future is secure and I am contented about
certain things. Now its up to me to continue my worldly tasks, carry the
message of hope to my fellow recovering alcoholics and be as compassionate
as I possibly can towards others.
Attempted to induce OBE. Possible dream. Met spirit guide who gave him
information.
122.
Adrian G Experience 7/7/07
At first it happened by accident I would feel myself on the ceiling then one
night I let myself out through the roof. sometimes I cant push out. When I
do get out I use anything linear to hold, I have gone up into the sky and
saw a galaxy, geese etc,, I do travel but I tend to lose myself and get
sucked back into my body. Once in awhile I can time travel one time I went
back to a birthday party when I was 6 years old. Last night for the first
time a hand grabbed me it felt like a hand I knew it was positive. I have
met people I think there people I even wrote down one woman's name. I have
tried to look in mirrors move pictures in the house make hand prints outside
in the mud. My main concern is bringing back a negative energy. When I do it
I really have to feel in the mood and I can't explain that mood I can do it
maybe three times a night. I would love to control it even more. as I do it
gets better and better. I do believe its like time all bundled tighter
Multiple interesting OBEs.
121. Emma Experience 7/5/07 I was floating in spirit and watching myself asleep and my boyfriend next to me. I became a little confused about it and then realized I wasn't in my body so I attempted to move my fingers, I watched and my fingers moved. Then I just watched myself sleep but became a little anxious and wanted to get back into my body. It didn't happen straight away and I was almost pleading with myself to get back in as I didn't know why I was out of it or if I was dead. I finally managed to get back in and as soon as I did I woke and screamed at my boyfriend to put the light on.
120.
Donald M Experience 6/23/07 From
Chile
He
can decide to go wherever he wants and decides to check on the kids first to
make sure they're all fine. To do this, he just thinks and travels through
the walls and in a fraction of a second he's in the children's room. He can
go outside but he is scared, so he decides to stay at home looking at
things. It doesn't mean that he has not gone outside but usually he prefers
to stay. One day, he went to see a friend with whom they were talking about
visiting at night, traveling in spirit only. He went and mentally asked him
to go with him. He got so scared that turned around and wrapped himself with
the covers yelling "leave me alone!." My husband didn't want to scare him,
so he left. The following day this friend told everybody that Donald was a
witch type of person and left town for good.
Large number of OBEs over life, shared by wife.
119.
Deana G Experience 4/10/07
From Italy.
Many times
I managed to consciously deliberately induce my OBEs. My early experiences
contained unsettling aspects due to my propensity to depression in those
years, but they have gradually become more positive, and the latest have
been definitely mystical.
Very large number of OBEs.
118.
Jared Experience 3/22/07
Above
modern day Earth 1973, I was floating.. I appeared out of the white void in
space.. A unseen force took me to the Earth, going faster and faster, I felt
the heat of the Earth's atmosphere.. I entered the atmosphere at blazing
speed I ended up in a building somewhere...
Remarkably transcendent OBE.
117.
Cassie Z Experience 1498 3/20/07
Standing inside the side of
the mountain with my mother and grandfather I was told "It wasn't your
fault, Baby. It wasn't you." My grandfather's words washed through me
lifting the weight of the pain and guilt of 18 years! I hugged him and held
on not wanting to ever let go. I heard the voice on the recording bringing
us back . . . I didn't want to go back. I SO didn't want to go back!! I
wanted more time with Grandpa and Mom . . . SO much more time, but I knew I
had to go back. My mother reminded me that now that the door was open,
there would be other times like this, other reunions. As I walked back
toward the door to return, I took one final look back at Mom and Grandpa,
and Grandpa told me "Now you're free to fly!"
OBE with ADC. Very
healing experience.
116.
Patent Attorney Experience
2/25/07
Anyway, I am certain that
there is much to be gained with OBEs, but I have really largely done
everything alone. I would like to learn from a master so to speak -- and
not one of the countless people that I expect have even less experience
and/or knowledge than me yet speak as though they know all and/or even what
the heck is really going on in that state...or those states...
Large number of OBEs over
years.
115.
Beverly M Experience
2/3/07
I was
anxious to prove to myself that this was a valid experience, so I looked for
objects they I could check on in the physical state. Once out the window, I
headed for a large tree at the side of the yard. I examined it closely in
every detail, but saw nothing unusual. I spotted some broken pieces of a
clay pot in the yard then glided back into my bedroom. I attempted to turn
on the light switch. Although I could move the switch to "on" and hear it,
the light failed to respond. I then felt a pull at the bottom of my spine
which I couldn't resist even though I wanted to stay out of my body. I went
back into my body head first and had no after effects. I later went into the
yard and the pieces of pot were there as seen in the OOB.
OBE
during meditation.
114.
Toni M Experience
1/21/07
Original in Spanish, translated to English by Estela.
I WENT TO THAT LIGHT AND PLUNGED INTO IT AND IT WAS THEN WHEN I FELT I WAS
IN A VERY BEAUTIFUL PLACE OF ROLLING HILLS, GREEN GRASS AND TREES
EVERYWHERE. DURING THAT MOMENT I FELT WELL, SUPERB, I STILL HAD A ROUND FORM
BUT COULD GLIDE AT MY WISH APPROX. ONE METER FROM THE GROUND. I APPEARED AT
THE TOP OF A HILL, I LOOKED AROUND AND SAW A TREE THAT WAS AT THE FOOT OF
THE SAME HILL. I GLIDED TO THE TREE AND WHEN I REACHED IT I SAW THAT THERE
WAS A SWING WITH A BROWN HAIRED, 5-YEAR OLD GIRL WHO WAS SWINGING SLOWLY.
THAT GIRL LOOKED AT ME AND SMILED BUT CONTINUED WITH HER GAME. THERE WAS
ANOTHER GIRL BESIDE HER AND SITTING ON A TRUNK – PROBABLY 3 YEARS OLD AND
BLOND. BOTH WERE IRRADIATING HAPPINESS. I COULD SEE THEIR FACES BUT IT
SEEMED THAT THERE WERE FEATURES MISSING TO COMPLETE THE IMAGE. THE SECOND
GIRL ALSO SMILED AND GAVE ME A LOT OF LOVE. BOTH GIRLS LOVED ME VERY MUCH.
Both the Spanish
and English versions are included.

Dave W's OBE E111206
12/10/06 The first angel was
a child around 3-5yrs of age and the other angel was a adult woman around
mid 40’s. I saw their white wings, both wearing dresses of white, very
fancy, appeared in make-up with a glow resonating around them. The child
angel was brunette, light tan skin, and cute for her age. The adult angel’s
hair was black, short, straight, she was a medium size figure. I remember
asking the little girl angel if she was previously in a accident and if she
was a new angel. There was no reply from both angels, silent, still, and
patient.
This is the latest of a series of
angel encounters while in the OBE state.

Maurice F Experience 12/10/06
So, I'm out
of my body and have become like this ball of energy..or light..something
anyways..I go up through the roof and way up in the sky over Casper at an
incredible rate of speed. I'm trying to take all this in. I can see like
360%..above, below..in front..behind..all at once..i realize I'm being led
by these 2 other balls of energy as we go higher and higher, quickly
entering space. we kinda speak. telepathically?? I dunno..I am told I am
being shown this so I will know that there is more after life on earth..as
we start to really accelerate..past the moon and planets. I hear this
sound..quite beautiful unlike any other sound I have ever heard, I ask about
it and am told that every spirit in the universe has its own sound that
resonates throughout the universe and can be located in that way. we started
to come to what I believe was the edge of our solar system and started
slowing down fast. I knew/felt that I was coming back and didn't want to. I
told them as much but they insisted I had to come back. I had more to do
yet. I was in the middle of saying no when I was like slammed back into my
body.
Meditation experience.
Very NDE-like.

David W Experience 11/11/06
When
I started to come through with rational I thought to myself, I should go
over to my dad and tell him that "I love you and am very proud". As I did
just do that, I asked my dad who appeared to be younger and in his early
40's. I asked "are you my guardian Angel" and the Angel replied "Yes, I Am".
I asked the Angel "who are you" and she explained that she was a new
guardian angel who recently passed on from earth. As I started to closely
examine my dad, I could tell by looking at the Angel closely that it was
more feminine then male. Although, it had striking close resemblance of my
dad, it was female. I was caught up in my little own world, mission that I
didn't catch the full details of my dad but when looking closer it was
definite female taking on resemblance of my dad.

Stella L Experience 11/10/06
From Hong Kong
When I was
a child of age 8 and 9, I used to sleep alone in my bedroom. I experienced
many times (countless) of OBE. Most of the time happened just after I felt
asleep, still feeling a bit of conscious. I saw my whole body sitting up on
my bed, and when I turned my head looking back, I saw my body was still
lying on my bed. Looked like a separation of me, soul and body separate.
Once I was too scare and I felt a sudden lying back of my body and I felt I
was return to my body and awoke. A few times, I experienced that I stepped
out of my body and my body seems very light and in a floating conditions.
At that time, since I was very small, I tried to search for my mum in the
dark but couldn't. Even I walked/floated within the bedroom, I still saw my
"physical" body lying on my bed.
Many OBEs which may be related to dreams as child (8-9 years old).

Justice J's Experience
10/6/06
I then made an effort to
rotate my astral body horizontally with my hips being the axis. This allowed
me to break free of my body and I began to float toward the ceiling. I spun
around once I reached the sealing and saw myself lying their eyes open with
a blank stare on my face kind of like I was staring up at myself on the
ceiling. Turned back to the ceiling observing its texture and began to try
and move along it in an effort to travel to my wife’s room which I was able
to do. I hovered over her and my mother in law for a time just looking at
them and noting other objects in the room. I remember feeling a sense of
pride in overcoming my fear and wanting to tell her “hey look at me I am
flying” when I attempted to speak the sound of my voice instantly sucked me
back into my body.
Long history of
frightening night terrors, then found way to have a positive experience.
108.
Dave W's Experience
9/29/06 I was looking down a tunnel, like seeing into a water well tunnel. At the end of
the tunnel, was the light. I said to the Angel “I saw this light a few days ago
in an OBE; this is the most beautiful light that I have ever seen”. As we got
closer to the light, it opened up and engulfed me, almost blinding, a strong
purity of love and presence to this light was incredible and vibrant.
I asked the Angel “Do you watch me all the time?” and she replied “Yes, we watch
you all the time; we’re always there with you”. As we reached towards the end of
the tunnel, the Angel said to me “The scene is going to change and let me show
you about Gods love”. I replied back to the Angel “I am okay and ready”.
NDE-Like OBE.
107.
Susan V's Experience
9/7/06
It was the
light, not a light, the light and it was coming closer, or I was getting
closer to it. The moment I saw it all kinds of knowings broke open in side
me all at once. It was multiple understandings, but they all came at
once. That light was my home. I knew it completely and it was all I
wanted. It was where I had come from, and it was where I was always meant
to return to, and there was no doubt in my mind at all that it was my real
home. The feelings were of immense love, peace and joy. Love, peace and
joy such as humans do not experience in our material states. I knew that I
had known before I was born that my life would be extremely difficult, and
the reason I had to go through the things I had was that I had "lessons to
learn and debts to pay."
OBE
associated with hypnosis.

Kim R Experience
7/29/06
I
felt my conscious self starting to come out firstly from my feet then
through the top of my head I was floating in the air above myself I can see
all around me it was great, I was floating everywhere in my home I was
drifting through the walls, doors, I actually saw my cat, I felt I could go
into the next door neighbors home if I wanted to, I would then drift out of
the window into and find myself in the street, I literally saw everything
houses, street lights, it was dark because it was night, I felt I could go
anywhere on the earth plane, I did not go to any other sphere or anywhere
weird, or I didn't see any other spirits like myself, I was just on earth
level, I would suddenly want to go back to my body, I would suddenly feel my
self drift back into my body, but feel a bit confused on first waking up,
but then feel like a renewed sense of myself. more spiritually aware and
more aware of things around me, it made me feel more alive and spiritual.
Multiple OBEs.
105.
Sunny Experience
7/29/06 Somehow
I was in both worlds, she was scared and kept asking me if I was okay. I
tried to answer and I couldn't. I griped the fence and forced my self to
hang on. while this was happing to me the woman was screaming. I knew where
I was in the other earth, I knew everything at once. I don't know that
experience now. then I was free and happy, at total peace. the woman somehow
helped me back to my house and I laid down and dreamed. then this experience
was explained to me. I was asked if I wanted to leave then or stay. I was
shown what would happen to my son of nine years. I answered I wanted to
leave badly but I wanted my son safe and cared for more. I was told then
that my job here was done and to enjoy my life and to remember my reward
later. I have to remember I here by choice now, I had planned to see if I
could just pop out when my son is grown. I won't because I have other people
to share time with here now, so I stay. I feel I could go back to the earth
in the heavens anytime it's up to me now.
104.
Maurizio S's Experience
6/6/06 From Italy, Original in Italian
translated to English by Werner.
all of a sudden I was wrapped
up in bright light, I didn’t pass through the tunnel it was as if I was
instantaneously enveloped in the light; though at the beginning there was a
small dark edge as if I had crossed the tunnel at ultrasonic speed.
NDE-Like OBE.
103.
Henry W's Experience
5/13/06 I
was monitoring one family member while they were in a college cafeteria and
noted the time on the clock above her head. I willed my relative to call at
that very moment. The telephone ringing brought me back to my body, I willed
myself up and answered the phone. I asked if there was a clock directly
behind her above her head, she said yes, I told her what she was wearing and
the title of the book she was currently reading. She thought I was in the
cafeteria. I was actually 400 miles away and had not seen her in over a
month.
Multiple OBEs described.
Highly developed ability to induce OBE.
102.
Brad K's Experience
2/05/06 Walking
the woods, suddenly finding myself observing myself from above & behind,
again timelessness, then "back". Moments later a different ethnic group of
unknowns appeared, blocking my path, cursing & threatening. Normal reaction:
anger, fear, possibly fatal given the circumstances, yet my "being" knew
only compassion & tranquility ... somehow seeing deeply & beyond. A presence
... a voice that wasn't, conveyed "all rightness", protection ... the
shouting grew silent, then stares .. In times of weariness &
discouragement, I've tried to discount such experiences & others for the
small comfort of giving up, honestly I can't. I'd always wondered what was
meant by "Heaven's at hand & within" ... no longer.
OBE with a great deal of
spiritual wisdom.
101. Neil
S's Experience 1/1/06
Something happened to me then
that had never happened before; I 'saw' words in the air before me, as if
they were superimposed on my normal vision. The words simply said:
"Tuesday the 23rd"... It was night. We were above a town, in some dry,
mountainous part of the world. There were trees, I remember - we were
hovering together somewhere just above the tops of the tall pines. On the
ground there were lights - the lights of vehicles on a road which ran below
us. The lights illuminated the rubble of a ruined building, which was
strewn across the road, blocking the vehicles. I remember the road signs,
bent and twisted...the flashing of the emergency vehicles...it soon became
apparent that this was a scene of devastation.
Induced OBE with
premonition of earthquake that occurred as he was shown.
100. Marianne
D's Experience 10/8/05
During this
six weeks of quarantine, being alone got very boring. I took up Yoga again,
as I started it when I was around 14. One night I was relaxing doing the
"dead man's poise." A very deep relaxation, meditation. I'd done many times
before I was ill. It seemed like time was in suspension, during separation
from my body. All of a sudden I was up in the corner of the room I'd been
laying in, bodiless! Just sight, was there. What I saw was me, laying on
the floor doing my, "dead man's poise." I was in disbelief, I wanted to
make sure it was really happening, so I watched me for a while, then I was
frightened! I didn't want to leave my body, I wanted to go back, I did. All
of a sudden I was back, back in my body...Maybe I should have enjoyed being
where I was for awhile longer. I've never forgot the experience in over 31
years.
OBE
associated with yoga meditation during hospitalization.
99. Mandy
D's Experience 9/3/05
I started with my toes, tensing them up and then relaxing them. I did this
from my toes all the way up to my head. As soon as I was completely relaxed
I got little "twitches" in different parts of my muscles. Then I felt really
light, like I was floating. I saw the red numbers on my alarm clock, but I
did not see myself, I was too scared to look. I floated through the wall and
to the backyard where I could hear my mother's wind chimes cling-clanging in
the breeze as if I were standing right next to them. I started drifting
upward and got a little nervous, so I tried to will my physical eyes open.
98. Melvin
F's Experience 8/13/05 I
felt free, and I mean free like it can never exist here on earth. The mere
act of breathing is a chain in the prison compared to the pure freedom I
felt. There were no restrictions, no laws of physics or simply no laws, for
laws are restrictions. I was not restricted to the normal senses, so to
describe something with words like hearing, feeling, seeing etc are in
themselves restrictive and unable to transmit or communicate the experience.
I am sorry to say that I have only this means to communicate to you what I
experienced. Words are totally unsuited, but my only means. The words "I
heard music", as an example is a very inadequate phrase to describe the
sensation of swimming in pure Love. The "air" was exactly that "pure Love".
Remarkable experience
during meditation, with profound spiritual insights.
97. Katelyn
B's Experience 8/13/05
A couple times I've spoken to
ghosts of dead relatives who have given me visions of future events. In
1996 my deceased father appeared to me through a wall in a ball of blue
light and told me "I'm sorry I can't be with you at this most important time
in your life. I'd like to give you a hug. It was time for me to go". And
then he was gone back through the wall in the light. Then, in the same
vision, I saw me in a hospital bed and I was looking at the floor next to
the bed and I saw my son and a man I did not know sitting on the floor
looking up as if in awe because they too, saw the ball of blue light. This
indeed began a VERY important time in my life.
A variety of
OBEs and visions over decades.
96. Penny
J's Experience 7/10/05
i traveled to someone's
house. while there i saw my boyfriend and a woman on the stairs. later i
found out that at that time my boyfriend was secretly seeing his
ex-girlfriend at the same time as this out of body.
Multiple OBE episodes
described.

Mike M's Experience.
5/29/2005
The thing that I feel
separates me from the rest, For the last two years or so, it happens almost
every night. At first, I had no control. My "spirit" would travel on its
own. I could not control direction or any of my body parts. I realize there
are no body parts to the spirit, but somehow it still helps guide me when I
do these things... Most do not understand. A few wish they could experience
the same. I tell them to be VERY careful what you wish for.
Multiple OBEs over the
past several years.
94. John J's Experience. 4/17/2005 So, OOBE, my experience. Always, first phase accompanied by sounds, vibrations, voices, pressure, the usual. Followed by, second phase, simply being out of body. Here, I have met deceased friends and relatives, spiritual guides, traveled to physical places, astral places, and explored past and
future lives. I have also, watched astral movies, been to educational classes, done soul rescue and counseling.
Lifelong history of ability to have OBEs. Comments on what he has learned from his multiple experiences.
93. Tami C's Experience. 4/16/2005 I was
floating above a scene in my life but from the future. About 10 feet high or so, and would follow my self in a future day for whatever distance the experience lasted. My future self would talk, laugh, play whatever and my other-self would watch, but "I" was the floating one, even though I was no less the one walking also.
Lifelong ability to have OBE's and see future events, usually within three months of the experience.
92. Sylvia M's Experience. 3/12/05 The next thing I knew was I was looking down on the Alps and I was doing somersaults in the air. It was a beautiful feeling of serenity and freedom. I then felt myself descend and I was then stood in a garden, on old wooden cottage with some people in the garden looking at me. They seemed to know me but the dress was really old so I knew I had gone back in time. I looked up at the house and I
ran upstairs. I was furious and panicking at the same time. As I burst into one of the bedrooms there was a young girl in there and an older man. I started shouting at him in French. I don't speak French but it was natural to be speaking it there. The girls ran out and the man was apologizing and agreeing with me. One of the feelings was that I said she is too young!
Dream- OBE, saw Greek city she was in Then went back in time and knew she was speaking French, which she could not speak.
91. Laura G's Experience. 3/12/05 I was quite amused and figuratively shaking my head at myself as I got up off the floor. But as I stood up, I noticed someone laying in my bed on her back. In three instances, this is what went through my mind. "Someone is in my bed!" "Diane is in my bed!?!" (Diane is my identical twin, who lived in New Orleans at the time.) And, "No, that's not Diane -- that's ME!!"
In meditation, OBE to side of bed. Looked at self, lay next to self, and returned into body.
90. Marisa S's Experience.
2/18/05 From Mozambique Everything was just normal and I felt a kind of big relief thinking “oh, finally I am out of bed, for real”… But when I start walking to the table near the bed (to take a cigar) I felt almost petrified when I saw myself sleeping in the bed. I felt so sacred that I didn’t know what to think about… Then, I went closer to the bed to see and prove myself that I was really seeing my body in the bed. I tried to touch the body but it was like my hands had no consistence, I couldn’t touch it, I had no hands, I looked to my legs and I had no legs… then I
realized that I had no body, the body was there in the bed.
Great descriptions of lucid dreaming and trying to wake up, only to fall into another dream.
89. Julie's Experience.
2/18/05 While I was having a dream about him (totally unrelated to what he experienced), he felt a hand on his shoulder. It was a strong grip, he could not move his hand. I then began making smooching (kissing) sounds. I often do that (while awake), from across the room over the phone, giving him kisses even though I can not reach him. I hope this makes sense to you. After a few seconds he finally smooched back, I let go and began to leave. He rolled over to see me disappearing out of the room. I don't
remember doing this at all. I woke up from my dream, having to go to the bathroom.
Snoring causes these events - and her husband is aware she is doing it!
88. Karen's Experience
2/18/05 One night when I was crying I became aware that I was no longer in my body and I floated up to the ceiling where I was very amused that I could touch it. This felt totally natural and I was very calm and serene and fascinated by the whole thing. I could see myself on the bed and my sister in her bed. I floated round the room and by the lampshade and then I looked at my body and drifted down back into it. This was a very pleasant experience and I wanted to repeat it. I found that if I concentrated hard enough I could leave my body at will. I only ventured as far as the doorway of the room because I wanted to keep sight of my body in case I couldn't find it again.
Child's OBEs after her parents divorced.
87. Ginger S's Experience
2/18/05 I went to bed that night before my husband got home and had thought about trying to have an OBE to see if he had kept his word to me and not discussed our problems. Well I had one heck of an OBE, I obe'd, I walked (outside myself) to the bar that I thought they might be at and found them there. I took a seat at their table and listened in on the conversation. I was horrified to hear my husband describing in detail all of our marital difficulties and doubly horrified to hear what "our supposed friend" said in response to them.
Evidential OBE.
86. Todd B's Experience
2/18/05 The next thing I remember, I "see" this hole in our ceiling, just to the left of our bed. I instinctively floated towards - and up - through the hole. I remember vividly seeing pieces of wood structure you would expect in the attic, then all of a sudden I am sitting on the top of our roof. We lived in a town home at the time, so the homes were connected. I remember thinking how cool it looked up here. All the pointed rooftops. I looked up and the stars were AMAZING. One cluster in particular seemed alive somehow. It's hard to explain really, but it seemed like it had consciousness. I remember thinking I wish I had a camera. I could also see a very bright star in the Southwest.
OBE using the "Roll Out" Technique.
85. Sharon K's Experience
2/18/05 All of sudden I heard the loud vibratory sound in my head and whilst visualizing my body six feet above my body, my hands involuntarily stretched towards the direction of the ceiling (one wrist over the other), then swung from side to side in a violent motion. The next instance I am rising gently out of my body to the right side of my bed. My landing was so gentle. I turned around and looked at my body. I walked over to it and looked at myself. Everything was lit up in my room and colors were extraordinarily vivid.
84. Cindy G's Experience
2/18/05 One evening, at my parents house, my mother and I were laying on sofas watching T.V. together when I suddenly found myself going into this state. After fighting for my life to stop it, I jumped up and freaked out, like I always did, and my actions caught the attention of my mother. I explained to my mother what I had just experienced. I was surprised when she accepted my strange experience without question, and simply referred me to speak with my father about this, because he had experienced this in the past.
She provides some strong evidence that the ability to have OBEs may be hereditary.
83. Paul W's Experience
2/18/05 So, already reclining on a sofa I entered into a state of comfortable low-key thought and visualized being with my son that I was very close to. In seconds I found myself in his automobile driving through a part of town where a river exists and we were driving toward a bridge that spanned that river. Driving over the bridge the windshield of his automobile became suddenly covered with water splashing wildly over the whole windshield? I immediately sat up and ended the journey, fearing that the automobile had gone off the bridge and into the river! I was upset and decided I would not ever fool with OBE again.
Interesting because his son
was getting the car washed at the time.
82. Rose M's Experience
12/12/04 I found myself ending up in my back garden and i felt much more physical and out of control than ever but i managed to rise up and look over my trees and i saw my whole neighborhood as some sort of massive factory with reddish smoke coming out of the funnels which scared me but when i came back into my body i forgot about what had happened. Some months later my friend who has had similar obe's had told me that he saw these factories as well which until then i didn't mention a word about my experience to him. (I think that is very strange).
Frequent flyer with a variety of experiences.
81. Edward B's Experience
11/27/04 I might mention that our appearances were not bodies or ghosts. They were simply an image of a brain without a body and the silver cords seemed to be the equivalent of a super flexible spinal cord. They could stretch to infinity! I decided to move on and found myself viewing a funeral procession, then some small dome shaped buildings made of rocks painted white. The road leading to them was divided and on the mound at the split, there were more rocks painted white.
Interesting OBE induced by hypnosis, but allowing for time travel - both forwards and backwards.
80. Avadhesh's Experience
10/24/04 From India. Then I suddenly felt as if my head was drifting toward right and my feet were drifting towards left. So my body started spinning, with navel as the center, counter clock wise slowly. I felt this drifting till I felt that I was lying at right angle to my physical body. I was also conscious that the drifting body must have been internal astral body and not the physical body. Then it again drifted back and aligned with physical body. During this phase, I heard as if some one was calling me by my name from the gate of my flat.
Good description of a series of experiences
from meditation as he tries to induce an OBE.
79. Lauren R's Experience
10/24/04 I saw myself, up against the mirror. But then, I saw a blurred version of me again trying to climb out of my body, pulling away from the mirror. My insides felt as if they were being wrenched from my body and I felt like I had no..essence, really. This blurred version of me then stood behind my body, just watching. It was breathing heavily, just like I was, slumped in the same position as I but not leaning against anything. It was then that I swayed backwards and fell on the floor and I stared up at the ceiling for what seemed like an eternity.
This is another type of OBE that on one level might be autoscopy or if
it is related to consciousness, it might fall under a bilocation category.
78. Mixalis' Experience
10/24/04 From Greece In December 2003 i succeed to have an OBE. It was very clear and i had a very clear mind. It lasts for just some seconds but i remember i was on my room, without moving. My only fear was not to lose a "bond" that i felt in my heels with my body. I behold a table that i have in my bedroom. It was empty. After some seconds i believe, i woke up. I saw the table and it was full of books and cafe glasses. It was strange. My emotion was very clearly not a dream. I told it to a friend of mine who does reiki yoga etc. He told me that i may have seen my room in another time.
Repeated attempts to have
an OBE finally succeeded.
78. Charles C' Experience
10/24/04 i had a friend to write a letter and draw a shape on a blank peace of paper and tape the paper to the refrigerator and then i had an obe and i told her that she drew a triangle with the letter f inside it and i was right
Remote viewing.
77. J.D.
A's Experience
9/12/04 I just kept
concentrating on going down the hall to go to my baby daughter's room to
check on her. I made it that far and tried to go back to my room, figuring
that I had made my first "baby steps" and that was good enough for now.
Well, as I tried to get into my body I kept floating upwards towards the
ceiling. I remembered thinking, "oh my God, I'm going through the ceiling."
We lived in an apartment at the time, so I went through the ceiling into the
bedroom of the apartment directly above us.
First OBE
after a year of trying.
76.
Ronda's Experiences
9/12/04
I was planning a work related party and suddenly felt the same thing. I
was talking with groups of people, and felt that I was watching myself from
the right. It felt like I was channeling through my own body and that I
had no connection at all. It lasted for three days. I went to a doctor,
who prescribed Xanax for me telling me it was a panic attack.
This OBE sounds more
like autoscopy than regular OBEs.
75. Cezyl's Experiences
9/10/04
I thought to make sure I was out by
jumping and floating like Mysticweb suggests, and I floated, though I could
not really control my flight. I thought to go through the door. I jumped and
floated as if reclining on a three-section lawn chair, legs out, and arms
folded behind my head. I floated through the door feet first, proud that I
am ‘out’ and passing through things. I felt myself going through the door
and to outside, which drastically differs from actual physical reality here.
This is the beginning of a
chronology of experiments in the OBE state. Many helpful hints for
those who are trying to have an OBE.
74. CS's Experiences
8/12/04
After a minute, he said that
in our heads, we should dance right up through the top of our heads. At
that point, I felt that I was a small, bright light dancing in the air over
my head. I felt freer than I had ever felt and continued to dance outside
of my head. I was ecstatic. Finally he called us back to our bodies. I
continued to feel light and very happy and free for about an hour after the
experience.
Two very
interesting experiences.
73.
Theodor G's Experience
5/29/04
from Iceland
When I rise up it is often very
hard, as If I am struggling, and sometime it is better for me to roll over
onto the floor (still lying in bed). Sometimes though, I simply float up and
drift away from the bed.
Sometimes it feels as if I am taken and thrown into the air by an outside
force. A feeling of outside forces is very common and often very scary. It
often feels as If I am attacked by outside forces. Sometimes I even see
faces. This is often very dreamlike, and I drift between dreams and
awareness. Therefore I am quite certain that faces and such is induced by
dreaming.
Another set of experiences
initiated by sleep paralysis. This is interesting in that you can see
the spectrum between dreams, lucid dreams, and OBEs.
72. Adriaan's Experience
5/29/04
A little bit
after 4 o'clock at night I couldn't move any more, but was still completely
awake. Then it felt as if I was drifting towards the ceiling, hovering above
my body for a couple of seconds. It felt completely peaceful. When I realized
that I wasn't staying in my body, I thought I was going to die. In a split of
a second I was back in my body, screaming on top of my lungs in the way a baby
after birth would do. I was fighting for every breath and felt glad for every
beat my heart made.
Two experiences, A SOBE
and an OBE experience.

Thomas M's Experience
5/10/04
Seeing my
sister, I asked if our grandfather had stopped over and she said, 'I told you
the last time you came up that he didn't!' I asked her what she meant and she
informed me that 10-15 minutes earlier I had come upstairs wandered around
every room of the house and asked the same question before returning
downstairs to my bedroom. She mentioned I looked pale and didn't really act
like my normal self. However, I did not leave the bed in my room.
This might be bi-location
or possibly a variant of OBE.

T's Experience
5/9/04
I was again napping, on my
stomach, and felt something grab me by the ankles. It was not like hands on
my skin, there was no sense of flesh touching flesh, but rather the energy was
concentrated on my ankles. This thing YANKED me off the end of the bed. At
that time we had the box springs and mattress on the floor, no bed frame. As
I was pulled off the bed I felt the blankets bunch up under my body, my
t-shirt roll up as I moved. There was a wall about 4 feet away from the end
of the bed and I felt myself thrown against this wall and ended up crumpled in
a pile on the floor. I felt huge fear and a very palpable PRESENCE. This was
a malevolent being who was showing me its dominance and even anger. I
struggled to return to my body and wake up.
Learned to
overcome her frightening OBEs by calling on Jesus Christ.

M's Experience
5/9/04
That same night as I was waking
up from a dream I felt the sleep paralysis begin to take hold. At that moment
I thought about the connection I had made earlier that day and completely gave
into the paralysis. I then experienced my first conscious OBE. I essentially
sat up astrally, both half in and half out of my body. I remember looking
around my room in this state while realizing that I had just succeeded in
overcoming my fear of flight!!! I remained conscious for just a few moments
more before blacking out and waking up again in my body.
For years had a
problem with sleep paralysis and fear. Then one day he gave in . . .

SR's Experiences

First
Experience:
When I got through I saw my mother cooking at the stove. She turned and looked
up at the ceiling, me. She ran from the kitchen to my bedroom as I seemed
pulled back through the wall. She again looked up at the ceiling and down
toward me as I reentered my body. She looked worried and told me not to do
that again.
Second Experience:
As
I got more and more relaxed, I noticed or felt there was a light on in the
hallway and some talking. I disregarded it thinking it was just someone going
into the bathroom or something minor. Then, I heard the father say something,
like "I'm not afraid of him. I am going to tell him to go home. I felt a
whoosh of a yellow light into my head. A few seconds later, the father
pretended he was looking for his boots and grabbed my head. I said that was
me. He said to go home. I said I can't because of the snow. He said to stay
out here. I said I would be right here.
Great OBEs; one
was verified by a whole family.

Yvonne D's Experience

Recently I have worked out that I
can will myself in a direction but even this doesn't always work to plan. When I
first leave I feel very conscious of what I am doing but it doesn't take long
until I get distracted by things such as looking at doorways or furniture like I
have never seen them before. Once I spent the entire time checking out the
bottom trimmings on my wardrobe. I couldn't touch them no matter how hard I
tried and I just seemed fascinated. It was like I had never seen them before.
Another time I fell through the wall of the bedroom to the driveway and was
fascinated by a sense of space.
She experiments

Dominick V's Experience

My first OBE
was when I was 19. My grandfather died. That evening I had an OBE where I met my
Grandfather in a park. We were face to face & he was telling me that I shouldn't
worry because he still existed & I could visit him anytime I wanted. He told me
that he would wait for my Grandmother until he went to his final destination. I
would meet him twice a week for 9 years.
This seems to be a
cross between OBEs and ADCs, almost traveling to a place between this world and
the next.

Neil W's Experience
3/22/04
My experiences start with buzzing
in my head, which is like a moderate electric shock. At first this is
intermittent then becomes constant at which point I leave my body. I usually
hover around a while. The first experiences took me by surprise and shocked me
back into my body. I then began to feel intense peace when they happened and
began to control my movements. I can make a conscious decision to go through
walls or floors or down the street. Outside seems darker and very quiet and
peaceful as is the whole experience. Something stops me from visiting friends or
relatives houses. When I return to my body I follow the same route in reverse. I
sometimes get annoyed and frustrated if its a short experience and I always want
more.
Frequent flyer

my best
friend died in 1993. i was devastated. i willed him desperately to let me know if
he was really gone. three months later i began to experience vibrations through
my body. paralyzation. sitting up. feeling. traveling through blackness until i
ended up somewhere else. i was terrified at first. i discovered i could shut it off
by sitting up when the rushes started but in the end because this problem
wouldn't go away and persisted every time i closed my eyes. i had no choice but to
research this bedtime nightmare. i know a lot about astral travel now. at
first i didn't know what was happening to me. i have seen my dead friend a few
times since i lost my fear and he told
me he switched me on.
Involuntary frequent flyer
that has learned a lot over time.
60. Astral T's Experience 3/22/04 From Poland. It was an OBE, I was standing in my room and looking at the my sleeping body. Short and to the point.

Kerry's Experience
3/22/04
On any
given night, I will be fast asleep dreaming or not dreaming, and then be aware,
and "look" around the room through (?) my eyelids. rather than try to stop it or
get up and look at my body (as, evidently everyone and their mother does!) I
will scan. I scan the room I am sleeping in. What I see there upsets me in the
moment.
A bit on the
irreverent side, but there is some good information.

Coney A's Experience
2/20/04 Lying in bed at
night. Felt strange feeling of wanting to float which scared the hell out of
me. Then I said, as a researcher, lets see what happens if I let it go. I
floated to the ceiling, saw my wife sleeping and my body. I left the house,
floated above all the cities till I got to a woman friend's house. No feeling of
cold, noise and definitely not a dream. Stood at the door and thought of
opening it when it dawned on me that I could walk right through the door which I
did. In the living room was the mother and father and the woman all
watching TV. No sound just sight. She was drinking a beer and
laughing with family. I turned and left, floating the 50 some miles back
home in a matter of seconds.
Verified as accurate later
and then he tried again and found her in the shower!

Chevy N's Experience
2/20/04 When
I exit my body during the dream state, I am fully aware of the fact that I am in
some type of dream state. I am outside my body. I can walk into the living
room, create a door and exit outside. I can create images or they just appear
before me. All of my senses seem real. I can feel the dampness of grass at my
feet when I am walking on my lawn. I can feel the soft fur of my cat that I am
petting. I can feel the mist of water on my body from a waterfall, I can hear
beautiful music playing. I can increase the volume or lower it by
concentration. It is really awesome.
Many wonderful
experiences!
56. Admir
S's Experience
1/13/04
I became lucid in a huge meeting hall
were hundreds of people were meeting, many walking in an out, a stairway
connected the outside with the inside of the area. No sooner I had entered the
place and girl took my hand and led me flying outside, and I found myself flying
over people entering the from. The girl left me floating under the most
gorgious, blue, sparsely cloudy sky which partially hid the sun, "What a
marvelous thing, people!” I shouted.
Here's a frequent flyer from Brazil.
It is interesting because these experiences show the cross-overs between lucid
dreaming and OBEs and add a cross-cultural flavor to the narratives.
55. Jeff
C's Experience
1/3/04
Suddenly, I
heard loud buzzing and crackling sounds, and they started getting louder. At
the same time, I could see a bright light coming from out of the distance (I had
my eyes closed). Once the light and sounds reached a climax, I heard a loud
bang like something being ripped apart. I guess the best comparison would be a
sonic boom. Immediately after that, I could see everything around me in the
car, and I began to float above my body and out of the roof of the car. I
hovered about 3 feet above the car for a few second, long enough to see my
brother walking out of the house, carrying his CD's in a carrying case.
Remote viewing experience.

THE FIRST TIME THAT I SAW
SOMETHING BESIDE ME: I WAS YOUNG 15YRS JUST COME HOME FROM FOOT BALL. WENT UP TO
THE BED ROOM TO SLEEP BECAUSE I WAS REALLY TIRED. I FOUND MYSELF LATER LOOKING
AT MY SISTERS LAYING ON THE COUCH WATCHING TV. MY SISTER WAS VISITING WITH HER
HUBBY WHEN I HEARD MY MOM SAY COULD SOMEONE GO AND LOOK UP STAIRS FOR WHAT THAT
BIG THUD WAS.

PHYSICAL- STATIC ELECTRICAL FLOW
FROM THE HEAD THROUGH THE BODY. THIS IS ALMOST LIKE TV OR RADIO STATIC. THIS
CAUSES A DEEP VIBRATION WHICH LIFT YOU OUT. AT TIMES, THE ELECTRICAL FLOW CAN BE
DESCRIBED AS UNCOMFORTABLE. WHY ITS IS STRONGER AT CERTAIN TIMES THAN OTHERS, I
DO NOT KNOW. LEAVING THE BODY HAS OCCURRED THROUGH THE HEAD. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I
HEAR A LOUD TAP OR THUD BEFORE. AT OTHER TIMES, THE VIBRATION JUST PULLS ME
LOOSE, BUT IT IS MOSTLY THROUGH THE HEAD THAT I LEAVE. SUNLIGHT OR FOCUSING ON A
BEAM OF ENERGY WILL IN MANY CASES LEAD TO THESE EXPERIENCES. MOST OF THEM
HOWEVER ARE AT NIGHT.
Here is a description of physical, astral, and
spiritual planes from a frequent flyer.

OBE are helpful and informative at
this second level as I call it, and they are not self generated, I have had to
many to know that for certain, I can bring about the conditions where they can
occur, but that also depends if those who have our welfare at heart have
anything they need to tell us. OBE at the first level are fun because you can go
and do what you want, with out any restrictions of climate cost or interference
from people that should just keep their noses out of my business, big brother.
This has some good
descriptions of the phenomena if you can wade through the condescending
language.

Bruce D's Experience
11/14/03
I was traveling above a brilliantly glittering expanse of ocean. A white dove was flying directly below me and then turned into a stone and fell into the ocean and disappeared beneath it's surface. A voice said, "Transformation, change is what keeps the bird aloft, and if this process should cease, the bird would be petrified into stone and disappear into an abyss." I was then at the edge of a
tropical swamp at twilight. There were the sounds and calls of a myriad of unknown creatures filling my ears. As I stood there, an unusual amphibious creature just below the brackish water could be seen approaching the shore.
This is a transcendent experience well worth the read as the "co-creators" were discussing what to do with earth because it was throwing the universe out of balance.

Asya K's Experience
11/14/03
FROM ARGENTINA
In another time during that night, when I got out of my body, I concentrated on getting myself to the house of a certain person I have feelings for, as I once read in a website that it is possible to project myself... Suddenly I found myself in his bedroom. I do not remember many images... except for the image of his wife lying in bed, and his hand
encircling her naked lower stomach. It only lasted seconds and then I returned to my body.
After a couple of tries, she succeeded in projecting her consciousness outside her body and directed it to a friend's house.

The rhythmic 'whump' sound was the
sound of horse hooves against hard dirt. I was crouched as close to the horse
as I could get and I knew we had to go faster. I felt something fly by my right
cheek and heard a whistle sound as it passed. I realized it was an arrow and
that I was being chased, which explains the feel of panic I had, yet I was
calm. It was like I was entering someone else's body and mind. The wind was
cold and stung the sides of my face that weren't buried into the mane, my arms
held tight to the reigns as I urged the horse to go faster.
Fascinating
concept! She went to another time and
