Have you ever had an OBE?

I think I began to have one twice. I was in my bed (both times - years apart) and as I was drifting in and out of sleep I started to feel paralyzed. I was lying there with my eyes open but I couldn't move the rest of my body. I could think but I was foggy and I was in a complete panic. I wasn't able to yell out. I tried to lift my arm up and I strained but couldn't. I tried the same thing with my legs and I couldn't move them either, but I could look around my room, see outside of my window and look down at my bed sheets. Finally I would snap out of it, terrorized and sit up in bed, wide awake. Then as I fell back asleep it would always happen for a second time and I'd have to go through all of that again. When I woke up for the second time I would just lie there scared of going back to sleep and I would be up for an hour trying to keep myself awake. If I did fall asleep I would jolt myself wide awake out of fear but I always was able to go back to sleep for good. I've had many life-like dreams before but in these two instances I honestly can't tell you if I was 100% asleep or if I was in and out. In fact I haven't had one of those dreams in like 6 years. Oh and I remember trying to sit up and get out of bed - like straining without trying. Strange huh?! And ironically I had a Time Life book about OBEs when I was young and I tried to do them myself with no luck. I don't know why I was so scared - it was uncontrollable fear.

nopes, never heard of it.

I have never had a complete OBE, but I was very very close. The meditation before you start is amazing!!! :)

I have not ever had an out of body experience but have read about them. I think there are logical explainations such as early childhood experiences. For example, coming to the bright light is basically the birth experience as you travel through darkenss to the light. Flying could be from having a parent toss you into the air as a baby. We retain ALL of our life experiences someplace in the recesses of our minds.

I've got close. The vibrations you feel during the onset of an OBE sometimes scare you or make you lose focus. You must concentrate and learn to accept and welcome them. I can't say that I've gone much further than that.

I have, but apparently it was due to aneshetic. My sister has had OBE and is terrified when it happens.
