Experience description:

Right after I drift off (I think), I awoke and felt strange because of complete silence. Looking out through the window and the door to balcony I saw that it was almost time to go to school for the MBA's semester exam. All the sudden I realized that I was floating right under the ceiling and looked down I saw my body lying on side facing the wall (Meaning my back was facing the window and the door to balcony that is adjacent). It was strange that I did not feel afraid at all (By the way I many times vividly saw strange people during my sleep but never felt afraid at all, some times even kind of exciting). 

I do not remember why now but after that I flew out through the door, passing the balcony and was completely out in the air (So the edge of the balcony was about 1 or 2 m to my left). At that time I fell toward the ground at high speed and I felt shouting in mind "Stop, stop". To my surprise the fall stopped and I was floating about 30 cm above the grass. Because the university is on the other side of the condo where I stayed I flew (By thinking) up again, over the top floor of the condo (During that time I saw a lot of things on the top floor such as water tank or antenna, ... that few days later I found they are real and correct when I went up the top floor for the first time since living at that condo) toward the university. From the air I saw the university's main square almost filled up with chairs and a stage was being constructed. At that time the sun ray was directly on my eyes and I was instantly awake in my body feeling so worry. Looking at the clock I found that it was 10 to 9.00 so I hurried to change and run to my exam. When I passed the main square in order to reach the Q building where my exam would be held I saw exactly what I saw from the air when I was floating. 

I have to stress that I did not know that the university was preparing an welcome night for new term's students as well as did not know what was on the condo's top floor before that experience. Even until now I still feel very mysterious about that. It was as real as it could be to me. 

PS: I did experience 2 other similar cases about a year later. The most similar was in shorter time and with less events / evidence but the second was equally strange and real although the circumstance was a lot different. That second case was not OBE but the girl I saw, opened the door for and talked to during it was not only so real to me but she was actually a real person who was my room mate's (Staying in the bathroom during my experience) deceased girlfriend. 

In short, every experience was mysterious and wonderful to me and I wish I could do so at will.
