Title: A vaguely random question. Post by: Alex on January 12, 2019, 06:51:51 PM Has anyone out there ever had an out of body experience? Not something I can ever say I've had myself, but I'd be interested in hearing from people who have.

Title: Re: A vaguely random question. Post by: Rev. Powell on January 12, 2019, 10:22:47 PM Sort of. Around 17-18 years of age I started having these semi-regularly when I was drifting off to sleep (probably happened between 3-10 times). They were accompanied by a pretty unpleasant tingling/buzzing feeling, and some very vivid dreams where I felt myself floating and even sometimes looked down on my body.
Once, however, while I felt that I was outside my body, I looked around my room and saw a Jim Morrison poster on the wall. Of course, I did not have a Jim Morrison poster, so I realized that it was a dream, despite the fact that it was otherwise very realistic. I stopped having them by the time I was in my 20s. I wonder if they were seizures of some sort. Title: Re: A vaguely random question. Post by: claws on January 13, 2019, 02:25:32 AM Once I think, when I was 20. I was floating above my sleeping self, slowly drifting towards my sleeping self. Didn't feel like a dream. My floating self was then laying on my sleeping self and at the very moment I woke up because I felt pressure, staring into my "floating version" eyes and vice versa. This was the only time I ever jumped out of bed.
I still think about this sometimes because it felt so real. Title: Re: A vaguely random question. Post by: RCMerchant on January 13, 2019, 05:54:07 PM I had just the opposite. Something called 'Sleep paralysis."
When I was about 13, I would wake up, but I couldn't move. 2 shadow people were leaning over me. I could hear a buzzing. Happened 3 times. I heard loud thumps too. It happened again when I was 24. I thought it was ghosts! :buggedout: Title: Re: A vaguely random question. Post by: ER on January 13, 2019, 06:28:21 PM I had just the opposite. Something called 'Sleep paralysis."

I remember in here Alan Hopewell said he believed it to be a demonic manifestation, and I swear, I am not going to tell him he's wrong. Makes my night terrors seem like the kiddie pool.
