OBE or sleep paralysis
- Im laying in bed one night asleep when all of a sudden I feel a tingling sensation come over my body starts at my head and moves thought my whole body then a loud ringing in my head starts. I then panic and try to roll over, move, or scream and I get nothing. Then I feel as though I am Falling off my bed but I can't catch myself. I then suddenly awake. But I awake like nothing has happened and I feel completely fine. This has happened to me a few times. I'm not sure if I'm trying to have an OBE or if it's just sleep paralysis.

Cannot Control or Stop OBE
- I just woke up from yet another OBE. I'm so shaken. My nerves are a mess, and my body feels so tense. I'm scared. I usually realize I am dreaming, or am in a dream 1 out of 10 times. My OBE I have been having since I was 17. I am 21 now turning 22 and I still cannot control or stop these. It doesn't seem like there are many answers for what is happening, and I personally don't think its anything a scientist can tell me. This is something spiritual. I wish I knew what I am supposed to do with this gift. My sister said when I wake up in dreams, don't be in panic like usual. She told me to be calm, and try to wake up. It hasn't worked yet, because I start off calm, then begin to panic when I can't wake up. After about what seems like an hour (only really like 2 mins) I jolt awake, and very off balance. Anyway, next time I think I'll try asking to "return" to my body, not just "wake up." I don't know if anyone even cares about what I just wrote, but thanks for everyone else's stories. I guess I'm not alone.

Dying
- The other night I was sleeping fine, having a dream. In my dream it was dark out, very dark. I was walking and I walked into a McDonalds near my house. As I walked in everyone was staring at me so I turned to look behind me and i saw a huge mist cloud coming towards the store. Everyone was wondering what it was so I opened the door and a little gas came in. I smelled it then I turned around and said it was gas and then I collapsed dead. In real life i felt my spirit lifting above my body then i woke up completely. I couldn't move for about 2 minutes and then I felt like needles were stabbing me all over my body. I died in my sleep and in life.

meeting a spirit in another realm
- All my life, I've had those awakenings in the night, feeling I had fallen into my bed. I never thought much of it. I also had sleep paralysis a few times. That was scarey, I hope it never happens again. My most profound experience was after my fiancee Steve passed away. During my sleep, I found myself in another place. This was NOT just a dream. It was vivid. I was completely aware. My soul was with Steve's soul in another place. We floated in a red ambiance, there was no direction or gravity. We spoke mentally and embraced each other. We knew it would be out last time until my own life was over. There was sadness and joy. We held and loved each other. He and I were both completely aware that MY BODY was asleep and that it would soon awaken and my soul would have to return to my body. I was so thankful for the gift of being able to feel and see him. It was bittersweet. I awoke and cried knowing he was okay, but sad that our time was over. I have no doubt this was real! My soul was there.

astral travel
- I had my first obe a few nights a go, it totally freaked me out but was also very exciting. All I recall I was falling asleep having the most vivid dream or obe I was standing next to myself watching my partner and myself sleep. I started to panic but couldn't wake, so I walked over to the other side of the room, looked in the mirror and went back over to myself and pulled the blankets back. Then I woke up, very promptly as if I had re-entered my body. It was so surreal, hope I may do it again as I don't think i would panic if it happened again.

Recent and past
- Recently I had an OBE, I was in bed and my hand felt as if it was paralysed, I tried to move but slowly my entire body was motionless and I could not speak, but the next moment I was able to move, I sat up in bed and felt very at peace but suddenly I was back and my head was on the pillow, it wasn't my real body that had sat up. This freaked me out a little. I told my mother, who told me that when I was A child I used to talk about when I walked down the stairs in the mornings it felt as if I was floating down the stairs and no walking was involved. I can faintly remember this as it happened a lot. Mum told me that she and my uncle used to have the same visions, is that an OBE too?

Accidental or unintended OBE
- I was meditaing two nights ago and don't recall ever being so deep. One moment just chilling in my chair, listening to binaurals. Suddenly I just slammed into the seat in which I was seated. I was stunned,the only other time this ever occured once when I was a boy, but I was asleep then and it wasn't quite so violent. Could It be that I felt pursued, or was I just in a hurry to get back to my body. Perhaps I am yet to experience this in a more timely fastion or slowed down enough for me to comprehend. At any rate I have since not been able to achieve said. I am not trying to force it, at least i don't think so. :)

OBE experience or Dream not sure
- I was laying in bed and left that the blanket that was covering was being pulled off of me in an upward motion. I thought my husband was doing this put I could not speak to say why. Then I quickly realized that he was not in the room and I started feeling my energy going up it was a strange sensation like I was floating upward but not as a whole I was floating upward in particles. I realized that I was leaving and I said to myself several times I am leaving, wow, I am leaving. I began to think about all of the people that I know still feeling the sensation part of me scared part of me feeling like it was a beautiful experience then I thought of my mom and said to myself wait I cannot leave, now this will kill her. The sensation stopped and I woke up although I did not feel like I was sleeping. I had a procedure done that afternoon where I did receive Novocaine and I have been fighting a kidney infection as well. I meditated that afternoon also.

Does anyone know how to stop it
- I keep having these OBE's ... sometimes when I take a nap in the afternoons, after I am sort of asleep, something starts pulling me out, it's a like a war. i get weird dreams too. Once I am totally back, my energy feels completely drained out. To do anything after I wake up is difficult. My blood pressure drops, although I had good healthy meals before I went to bed. its scary. Even if I force myself, I can't wake up during this state. I do meditations. and I have spoken to a few mystics, they all say, this is not anything to be worried about. After these incidents, iI have acne breakouts all over my face, especially forehead. Also pain in the eyes and headache. I spoke to one doctor, she says probably these incidents are triggering hormonal imbalance. No one is sure about how to stop it. I am tired of it. its no fun at all. Will appreciate if anyone can give me some clue over it.

Flying
- I think I may have had an OBE a couple of nights ago, in the real world I had waved my daughter off on the Ferry to Shetland for her Uni Placement, then that night when in bed and not yet sleeping, I had a weird sensation that I (my body, not in a plane or such), was flying over the sea along the coast, heard a strange noise like when you sign out of Skype and suddenly soared upwards really quickly, then felt really freaked by it all and sat up in my bed, thinking what on earth has just happened to me! It felt so real and I remember it clearly.

Agnostic believes in life after death
- I was @35 yeo, I had severe spinal problems, Herniated discs, My doctor told me not to go on the hunting trip. FU Doc, I'm outtahere! Long srory short. I was laying on my back watching TV. (No booze or drugs) When I just flipped over and was looking at myself about 3 feet off the ground. My body looked like the high school science class illustration of the nervos system see thru page. I knew I was in trouble, but being me I said wtf, and started to roam around the cabin. I was flying at an altitude of four feet off the ground, looking at things I was familiar with to justify that I'm not dreaming. It was really cool flying around like it was natural. THEN !! It dawned on me that I'm either dead, or going to be if I don't get back into my body. So I figured It was time to find out if I was dead or not. So I flew back to my body and SLAMMED myself into it. Well I'm still here. I am still an agnostic, but I believe in life after death.

OBE EXPERIENCE, I DIED
- Last night I had my first OBE. I fell asleep and had the strangest dream. I dreamt it was raining and I was trying to get on the highway. As I look up I see two little lights and just clouds. I assume the lights was a truck coming. There was nothing else on the highway.I couldn't see clearly from read windshield. I estimate the distance between me and lights was safe to go. As I got on the highway the lights came and hit my car in the back. I felt my body go limp and my head rested on the seat. I felt so peaceful. Then when I look up I saw my spirit leaving my body and I thought how good this felt. Then in a couple of seconds my spirit turned around, looked at me, then re-entered my body. Then I jumped up out of my sleep. I was so scared. I thought I died in my sleep, but it was not time for me to go yet.

Many times
- I am sleeping, and all of the sudden I am pulled out of my body through black nothing, but last night I remember sparkles in the darkness, and when I am at the point where I know I can't come back I am dropped like a punch back into my body, and I am yelling, and fighting to return then I am shook up, and try to calm down. Many times I have been near this death like state. I think I stop breathing during the night or my heart stops on its own, and restarts. Just my thoughts on what is happening.

One Night
- I was @ school one day W/ my friend and he had told me he had a OBE. So that night I had tryed it. I was in my bed then all of a sudden I was out of my body. While I was in it my OBE turned in to a nightmare. I was scared b/c a demon was coming @ me. So I started to run then I just woke up.
