Out of body experiences?
371308
Yes, and what a trip. There was this guy in my house. I sensed it. I flew up out of bed and this male silhouette is in my living room. Only he's just black like the absence of matter. But he was there. I yelled at him to GET OUT. He went through, literally, the door, without opening it. Then I looked down at my hands and they were that weird black. I flew back into my body and sat up. It just happened.\n\nAnother time I was meditating. I saw this incredibly white light. But it didn't hurt my eyes. And I felt totally safe,satisfied, contented and euphoric all at once. It lasted an instant and was gone. This I induced.

Ghost stories are Bull**it!!! I did watch someone die once. It was an extremely moving experience. The woman was dying of kidney failure (very painful)and was struggling quite a bit to stay alive.She was thrashing around and was in and out of consciousness for several hours. As the last moments approached I stared deeply into her eyes to see what was going on inside her mind (so to speak). What I saw really shook me quite a bit. In her eyes I saw a change taking place. As I looked I began to see other faces in her face. Not anything like a ghost, but more like a percieved image of all the people I have ever known. My parents, freinds and even my own face. I guess it was empathy or something, but I saw death and stared it in the face. I saw us all there. we are all of one "soul" I would say. All of lifes experiences will happen to us all ultimately. Enjoy it while you can. And keep in mind we are all the same. There are no seperations when it comes to "soul".

After about two days I start to hallucinate. REALLY spooky and it happens without warning. Not just images but sounds too.\n\nI quite liked the epxerience as a one-off but a little too strange for me to do on a regular basis.

I'm always getting deja vu, it's a really odd sensation. Sometimes I'm not sure if I have dreamt about a place before I visit it, it's a really surreal feeling!

I was in the Air Force driving 1000 miles to go home for a month leave. While I was driving in the high mountains around Reno, I fell asleep. I was traveling about 85 mph. My truck veered off the highway. As soon as I felt the truck leave the highway, I woke up and found I was heading downward on the gravel part of the side of the highway. My truck seemed to be driving itself I was in shock. The steering wheel was moving under my hands. I can't describe it any better than this. As the truck moved back up to the highway, I pulled over and tried to calm down. It was a really frightening moment. What was even more frightening was just 1/4 mile more and the side of the highway no longer had gravel. There were large boulders. I still get chills thinking about it.\n\nTill the day I die, I know I was not the one driving my truck at that moment.\n\nbtw - I have had several other experiences where the circumstances involved other than human interaction. I guess I am just one of the few to have been fortunate enough to experience it.

Marko F,\nYes. I have had at least one of those. It was before I became Christian, and I was above my body for a few seconds, I could see/sense my body a foot or two below my spiritual body. \n\nYou know, some people might come to some other conclusion, but what it did for me, after I found out what the f' it was, was that there was no longer any doubt for me that there was a spirit living in me, my spirit.\n\nSo without that major block (for some) out of the way, I could then attempt to find out what it all meant. If there was more to life than what we could normally see, how much more was out there, and was there a purpose to it all, or and order to it all?\n\nYears later I became convinced that IF the Bible was true, I could pray a prayer and recieve an acceptance from God, who would otherwise be against me. And so I tried it when I was alone, and that was a VERY eventful thing! I don't know if I was in my body or not, but I ended up in a place where things were different than the dark bedroom that I was in. And there were others there too. I think that it was heaven, and it was a large enough place, I couldn't see God, but the peace was perfect, and the others were doing whatever they set out to do (I think that it didn't have anything to do with me.) I was there to witness heaven, but I don't know why, though I certainly am thankful for it. Who wouldn't be? lol\n\nI had flying dreams too. They were more like the type of flying that is portrayed in Peter Pan. Where the trees below were at arms reach at times, and there were others with me, not that I knew them. I also don't know where we were going.\n\nBut I am so glad to have been a part of those experiences. \n\nI hope that helped you.

Yes and yes.  On more than one occasion I have either seen, heard, or felt the spirit of someone who had passed.  A little boy use to visit me at regular intervals.  He would stand next to my bed until I would sense him and open my eyes.  He would smile, then disappear.  I haven't seen him since my second son has been born.  We smell smoke every time my wife's grandfather is near.  In our old house, there were cold spots that moved around the house.  Our cats would move around the spots like they were trying to avoid running into someone.  I watched two surgeries being preformed on myself and was even able to give details and repeat parts of conversations and actions of the doctors and nurses.

A recent experience:  April 8, 2006, my nieces' birthday at a restaurant in New Jersey.  While eating a family dinner at the restaurant where my niece works, I felt a bump on my leg from under the table.  Thinking that it was one of her children, I asked him to stop.  I spoke loud enough for the whole table to hear and received many looks and retorts that he was sitting at the other end of the table.  I felt it again on my left leg and then on my right.  There was no one nor anything visible under the table, I asked my niece if the place was haunted, she said "Yes!"  I found out later that many people have had similar experiences.  I was thinking of asking "Ghost Hunters" to check it out, but I don't think the owner would go for it.\n\nIf you want to hear a lot more, and they are very weird, e-mail me.  I've been thru various and sundry spiritual quests.  They've taken me to the depths of "hell" and, gratefully, to a very deep and profond belief in God.

You should look into a book called "journeys out of the Body" by Robert Monroe. It sort of sounds similiar. Some people have the ability to leave thier body and have out of body experiences. This may or may not be it, but I've heard that if you don't know what it is, it can be scary. It is completly safe. But I would go get checked out by a doctor to make sure...I really think you're body is probably asleep and you're mind isn't and you're trying to go out of body...sounds silly to someone who doesn't know much about it, but believe me it is real. Check out the book. Also, try to relax during it and see what happens...let it take you...It can't hurt you...just sort of go with the feelings...trust me, you'll be fine.\n\nAlso, look into Panic attacks. BUt I really think it is the above...

Yes, I have. He is an Indian shaman. He told me that his name should only be known to me and not to share it with others. I was involved in a serious vehicle accident while serving in the Army. The accident occurred north of El Paso, TX on a small military range in New Mexico. I was thrown from the vehicle as it flipped over. For the next 5 days, I was awake and talking in the hospital trauma ward. But, I have no memory of those 5 days. That is except for one thing. I had a re-occurring dream, or at least I thought it was a dream. I was standing out in the middle of the desert watching a burial take place. Next to me stood me spirit guide. We watched without saying a word as two men brought the body of a deceased man to a place in front of us. The mans body was carried on a man made stretcher made of wood & animal skins. The stretcher was placed on top of four - 6' long poles, one pole at each corner. Then the men moved away. The shaman and I would turn and look at each other now & then. Still no words were spoken. Then, another man walked over to the body with a torch in his hand. He set the body ablaze. We watched as the body was consumed by fire. It was then that I realised. The body on the stretcher...was me. This whole dream repeated itself time & time again until I finally awkoe from fog that my mnd was in due to the accident. The whole dream sequence was shown to me as a way to tell me that my life was beginning again and I would be going down a new path. I now refer to that time in my life as my "phoenix phase". Thank you to my guide for helping me through a difficult transition.

It was a very relaxing experience. I went through a session of hypnotherapy in an attempt to quit smoking. The doctor had me under for about 30 minutes. I was concious during the whole session, but was aware I had been hypnotyzed; he mentioned my hands and arms were so relaxed and light that they began to float, and I could tell they were in the air. I felt rested and relaxed afterwards and had no recolection of smoking for almost a week. Unfortunately, I did not repeat the treatment, but later decided to quit cold-turkey and haven't smoked in almost a year.

An out-of-body experience is when you project your mind into your soul/astral body and you leave your physical body behind and you can travel to the end of the earth. You can control the astral traveling by meditating more or by practicing alot more. There is a cord like string that connects you to the physical body, this keeps you alive while you are out. But dont worry the cord doesnt break until it is your time to leave the earth. When you are out of the body everything that you think of comes to life; so lets say you are thinking of some creature or something like that, it will project out of the mind and seem like it is really there. If you are astral traveling naked(thouht that it is easier to leave the body if you are nude)you can think of haveing close on and youll have them one. You can do many things like travel back and forward in time, go into the universe, space, talk with the dead, and even go to other realms. Have Fun!!

Honest to God!  On the night of 4-21 (just two nights ago) I went to a local cemetary to record EVP and take some pictures.  Towards the end of the investigation I asked for someone to show themselves.  Either as a mist or super charged orb or to touch me on the arm, back or hair.  Just a moment later I felt someone messing with my ponytail.  It was the coolest thing!  I gasped because I didn't really expect anything to happen but I wasn't at all frightened.  I can't wait to go back.  I also have a bunch of ghostly voices recorded from previous investigations in cemetaries.  So far, I haven't experienced any evil entities.  Let's hope it stays that way.  Also, my house has several spirits in it.  I've witnessed some interesting things.  Pretty soon I'll have the chance to investigate the haunted house of my boyfriend's aunt.

Astral projection is not necessarily a form of lucid dreaming, but you can awake consciously while your physical body is asleep into a lucid state while having an astral projection.  I know because it's happened to me on more than a couple of occasions.  Astral projection (O.B.E./Out-of-Body Experience) is where a person's immortal spirt or consciousness exits the physical body - usually while the physical body is sleeping but sometimes due to consciously-induced effort while physically awake on the part of a person who is spiritually advanced.  Spontaneous O.B.E.s also can occur if a person is meditating or deeply relaxed and not thinking too much.  Furthermore,  accidental and spontaneous astral projection can occur during serious physical illness or trauma.  Astral projection often begins with partial or full "sleep paralysis."  This results when the spirit is slightly out of synchronicity with the physical body and the mind becomes conscious to some degree.  Astral projectors also may hear or feel beautiful, weird, or very loud and disconcerting sounds - perhaps a rushing sound or bells, feel vibrations or even think their beds are moving or the earth is quaking.  This results when the spirit begins to disconnect from the body because it's beginning to vibrate at a higher frequency.  Don't worry, you always can bring your spirit back into synch with your body by thinking and focusing on the body or some body part; and your astral cable (silver cord, etc.), a two-way communications link and umbilical cord made of unique energy that can stretch perhaps to eternity and never breaks until your physical body is ready to die always will keep you connected to your physical body at all times.  You may or may not see or be aware of this cable/cord while astrally projecting.  Fear, however, will bring you back to your body quicker than anything else.  When you begin to fear, you will start to move back into synchronization with your physical body.  Sometimes this can occur very quickly and you may feel like you've slammed or dropped hard back into your body.  During an astral projection or O.B.E., a person can be unconscious (not aware at all), partially conscious (partially aware for short periods), or fully conscious (able to think lucidly and move about at will).  Lucid dreaming is simply where you seem to wake into consciousness and simultaneously know you're dreaming or simply find yourself conscious during sleep and can think and act according to your free will and not simply be a puppet of the dream, etc.  Lucid dreams sometimes are connected to clairvoyance (seeing the future) - I have experienced this on various occasions, precognition (knowing the future), and other psychic (spiritual) experiences, etc.  For more info on O.B.Es and lucid dreaming, read: "Astral Dynamics," by Robert Bruce; "Soul Traveler," by Albert Taylor; "The Projection of the Astral Body," by Sylvan Muldoon and Hereward Carrington; and "The Lucid Dreamer," by Malcolm Godwin.  I hope this has helped.  P.S.  I also would like to say hello and give a loving hug to photogeek who also answered this question.
