166.  Howell W Experiences.  7/19/10 At one point I observed this 'me' being caught and taken to what must have been a keep or some form of dungeon. I remember being adamant in stating "I did not do it!" then immediately thinking "(this time)". Found guilty by my accusers, and rightly so, I was sentenced to death by way of public execution. On the day of the execution I was lead to a platform. While enroute I experienced sweating, gnawing anxiety in my stomach, racing panic, and an ultimate fear. Upon arrival at the platform I was urged to voluntarily place my head upon a stump of wood, as I resisted with denials of my guilt I was assured that the executioner did not care about my plight as his job was my death. After placing my head on the block I was soon decapitated and watched as my eyes tumbled down away from my body.
Meditation experience at age 14 with strong suggestion of viewing a prior life.

165.  Kim B Experiences.  6/20/10 It always happens when I'm falling asleep.  Always!  As I'm dozing off, I feel a little warm and my body starts to vibrate very fast.  I can almost hear it.  It is in every nerve of my body.  All of the sudden, I cannot move a muscle.  It is like a vice has clamped down on my entire body.  I cannot open my eyes or move a finger.  Before I know it, the vice and the vibrations are gone and I'm hovering over my sleeping body.  I am clothed in the exact same thing I am wearing at the time.  I know, because I have experimented during the daytime, when the fear of darkness does not take over.  Sometimes I just hover for a few minutes and in an instant, I'm back in my body, wide awake.  I always wake up when I reenter my body.  Sometimes I engage in a type of flying.  Sometimes I just swoosh around a foot or so off the ground.
Near life-long experience with OBEs

164.  Tom H Experiences.  4/15/10  Anyway, all of a sudden my skin felt as though it turned into crinkly, brittle dried brown rice paper, as though if you hit it with a stick it would disintegrate. And it was hollow inside. A shell. It felt absolutely real. Scary. Then I somehow went inside that hollow shell of dried paper and inside was the entire universe. All the stars and planets and galaxies -- everything.  I looked around and could see the earth. Later, judging from the size of the earth I figured I was about 40,000 miles away from it. I wasn't really scared at this point but just astounded. It all felt absolutely real. I was there. I was in a completely different location, far far away from my bed.  As I floated in space inside my body looking at the earth, all of sudden I knew something. And that was "Nothing we do is wrong. It is simply impossible to do anything wrong." 
OBE that started as a meditation experience.

163.  David A Experiences.  4/6/10   I had a prophetic dream that made no sense to me at the time.  In the dream, I turned the corner of a building and saw a gigantic, blue-colored block of something I couldn't identify.  The following week, a family friend took my brother and I cross-country skiing.  On the way to our hotel room, I turned the corner of the balcony that lead to our room and stopped dead in my tracks, my mouth agape.  My brother said my face had turned white.  It was a gigantic block of ice that had been pushed up vertically onto the shore of Lake Superior.  It was identical to what I'd seen in the dream.  It was my first experience with the unexplainable.
Several prophetic dreams, an STE, an OBE.

162. CM Experience 2/25/10    This voice "spoke" to me, and told me "We are from XYZ."  I do know what name he used, but I do not feel like sharing it here.  At the time, it was a completely new name to me - I'd never heard it before.  However, I instantly knew how it was spelled and could picture the word in my mind (and the spelling is a bit odd).  It wasn't a planet or anything that simple.  Later I found out that it has about 5 different meanings, means something in Arabic and Hebrew, was mentioned in the Bible, can be used as a person's name, etc.  But at the time, it was the first time in my life I'd heard it.  And when the voice said that to me, I thought, "Well, um, okay?"  The speaker seemed to be male, but I couldn't really tell.
Remarkable meditation experience.

161. Tia P Experience 12/19/09  That night I remember going to sleep and suddenly it felt like I was flying by my neighborhood above and watching a scenario happen. In OBE there was a boy I went to middle school with, I remember seeing him walk through this parkway towards the mall I lived generously close to. And it felt like I was following him above and sometimes along side. It kind of felt like I was there watching from above floating kind of. Than all of a sudden I saw a blue ford-like pickup truck driving through the park also, than I saw a blurred glimpse of a white male with a baseball cap, he pulled a rifle out of the window and shot the boy in the back. it was so detailed.
Remarkable OBEs, including witnessing a murder that was later confirmed.

160. Hannah K Experience 12/6/09  A being appeared in front of me. It was the most loving being I have ever encountered. It had blue almond shaped eyes which were electric blue, lightning flashing pure energy particles. I felt the most intense love EVER. I still question if this is my soulmate. This being was holding a red rose. The rose was intense fiery-love, ever-blooming. I came closer to the rose and I saw inside, that I could travel into the center of it. The center became orange and I went into it. In it, the being showed me that the rose represents Christ and his blood which was shed. (I was not a Christian at the time.) I traveled into the bottom of the rose and through the green stem, where the thorns were shown to represent the crown of thorns. I traveled downward and then was a woman with a shawl standing at the base of the cross. The woman was standing to the left of me and we were both crying.
Multiple, often very vivid, OBEs.

159. Roger R Experience 11/15/09 I actually begin to walk around and see people in the middle of their conversations and they do not see me but I see them I have actually remembered every word to a conversation and spoke about it the next day to the people and they asked how I knew what they were talking about. but walking in OBE is strangely slow almost as your hunched over trying just move using a walker or something. but these incidents are reoccurring I will probably deal with them my entire life.
Several OBEs described.

158. Bonnie T Experience 9/24/09 This has happened to me about ten times all together throughout my life. It first happened when I was a kid - probably around 9 or 10 years old. I would be laying in bed trying to go to sleep and at some point (unsure of whether I had already started to fall asleep) my physical body literally paralyzes and I begin to float. Each time it happened in the same room in my grandmother's house and I seemed to float towards the window. My state of consciousness felt completely normal, I knew that my body was still in the bed and I was leaving it.
OBEs throughout her life.

157. Chad  A Experience 9/24/09 I had a ton of OBE’s just prior.  I was in Sloan’s bed.  Rolling out of my body probably a dozen times.  I got sick of roaming around the house… I was in the in-between state.  Fully awake, yet sleeping.  It was the fullest attainment of this state I have ever been in.  I felt my self separated, felt two bodies, one physical and heavy… asleep.  And one light and ethereal… fully awake.  I rolled with the light body out bed, out of my physical body. 
Lots of OBEs.

156. Lorena F Experience 9/12/09 I started to feel a tingling sensation on the top of my head.  Then suddenly it was like I was hovering near the ceiling of our apartment.  I could see my roommate and myself sitting on the floor and I could see everything in the apartment.  The part that is hard to describe is the feeling I had.  I felt as though I was really weightless but really big.  Like maybe I was part of something else.  I'm really not very good at describing the feeling because it was unlike anything else I had ever experienced.  Then suddenly I was back in my body and my roommate was looking at me funny...
OBE while meditating.

155. Terral S Experience 9/12/09 I got up off my bed with no magnetic pull and realized I was out of body.  I'd like to emphasize that all this while I knew I was not dreaming and that I was fully aware. At this point I became excited. A little knowledgeable about Astral Projection and such due to my research, I knew I was experiencing something of the sort. I then decided to go explore.
Learning to OBE.

154. Erich A Experience 9/7/09 I laid back and went into my usual mode of meditation and allowed the feeling of floating out away to overcome me.  I found myself walking across the mall on the University of Arizona campus (a few blocks away and where I was enrolled).  I heard the noise of a straining jet engine getting louder and I looked up to the sky.  There, coming from the North West was a commercial jet airliner crashing towards the ground.  I knew it would crash and that there would be great loss of life.  I knew this because I - this is hard to explain - "saw" the people on board as "lights" and then they blew around a blackened scene of wreckage as "dead autumn leaves".  Also, as this was occurring, my mother was providing a kind of voice over. The content is very personal and I can't share the details.  It was her voice and she was telling me some important things, among which was that she had to go away (as in die) very soon.
Experience during Taoist meditation.

153. Cindy Q Experience 8/30/09 Anyway, as I started to go to sleep I prayed for a vision of what it's like to die from my ex, I asked him to show me. Next thing I know, I feel strange, the breath left me, I had no movement, no motion came from my body. I briefly thought 'well, this must be it' and I floated up about 3 feet from my body and looked down. I was white as a sheet and looked 'dead' in my mind, I was definitely not alive at that moment. The realization that I was dead spread over me, I thought about my kids and the fact that they just lost their dad and what a tragedy it would be to now lose their mother.

152. 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.

151. 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.

150.  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.

141. 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

139. 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.

113. 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.

112. 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.

111. 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.
David's 2nd set of OBEs about his Angel Encounters!

110. 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).

109.  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.

106. 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.

95.  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.

71.  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.

70. Deb 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.

69. Cord 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 . . .

68. Jamie R's Experience 5/9/04  I opened my eyes and I was no longer in my bed but floating towards darkness, upwards and higher than earth it seemed to me. I could see no lights but one and I kept flying upwards toward it as it seemed to be calling out to me. It was only seconds when I reached him. He was dressed in what appeared to be a long gown with flowing sleeves. His hair was dark and midway down his back and shoulders. His arms were outstretched as if he wished me to go into his embrace. For a moment I hesitated when he spoke without speaking out loud "it's ok, come to me and let me hold you child." I floated into his arms and he wrapped them around me and held me gently. I held him back, wrapping my arms tightly around his waist. I wanted to cry it felt so good. He never said another word, he just held me there as if he were trying to comfort me. I had never felt such pure energy or happiness or love like this in my entire life.
OBE where she met another being

67. Nassir's Experiences 5/9/04 FROM IRAQ  i could not get the chance to see my body because when i was there i could see nothing but the forests ,oceans the green. i could not feel the ear but i could fly the speed i want i could be slow as much i want but unable to stop completely. I was afraid because i was alone and i knew it was not a dream because the time it happened i thought im having a real brain damage.  it started  with a big and i mean big noises coming from the inside of my brain it was different noises but the were all unbearable. Then there was this tunnel.
Multiple dream OBEs and one is a transcendent experience.

66. Letty's Experience 4/15/04 The dreams I have are very vivid and real.  When falling asleep I can feel myself drifting away.  I get up from my bed and walk to my kids rooms.  Everything is the same, their rooms, my dresser and everything I have on it.  I walk back to my room and I can see myself sleeping. The feeling is very uncomfortable for me.  I feel afraid and scared of leaving my children behind.  I take a look at how the me in bed is positioned and place myself back into my body.  This is not the first time I've had dreams like this one, there have been times I find myself floating through my hallways and pull myself back by placing my hands on the ceiling and pulling.  It's a little to weird for me.
