410. OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE
I was 19 and in labor with my 1st daughter. the labor was unusally long and very intense. After the first 30 hours, I was giving demerol for the pain, and it knocked me out at first, between contractions. Then, I noticed the nurses talking about me to family next to me, as if i was asleep, but I watched and listened to everything.
They did not want me to know the cord was wrapped around the baby’s neck, and the nurses showed the monitor printouts and explained what it all meant. I guess I was out completely and barley woke up for the contractions. I believe it was around 40 hours in and the second dose of demerol was given to me, it wasnt as effective this time, but I was “out”, but I wasnt. I wanted my dad, my back hurt intensly and I was scared and alone. I kept trying to call out to my dad, but I couldnt make my mouth move. I became so hysterical in my mind, I was calling Daddy, daddy I need you!
Then I got up and went and looked over the curtain and looked down and saw my dad talking to my nurse about me and the baby, all the while I was screaming daddy, why cant you hear me!! Then I heard the monitor beeping faster, and the nurse said I would be waking up for this contraction and as she pullled the curtain aside, I turned to look behind me at the machine and WOOOSH I felt like I was sucked backwards, with my hands and legs in front of me, or pulled like a rubberband snapping back, and the next moment I was sitting up, opening my eues and screaming from the sudden shock of pain.
I never thought anything of this, until I was telling my dad about it and saying I was mad at him for not hearing me and coming to me when i called. He then told me that it was impossible for me to have seen him behind the curtain with the nurse, he had come into the room after i was ‘asleep’ and how could i have gone OVER the curtain? Thats when I realized it was an OBE and he told me about his experiance with an OBE when he was 5. He never had another one, and so far, I have not either.

355. OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE, PSYCHIC KIDS
I have vivid memories of being age 3 to 5 and getting in my parents bed at night ( they were still up in the other room). I would lie very still and soon my body would feel like it was floating in air …I was still very much awake. I felt the sensation of rotating …slowly turning over and over even head to toe … the sesation would persist as long as I was motionless … I loved how it felt and was always disappointed when some outside noise or movement would cause it to stop.

156. OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE
I was awaken by my son playing in his room in the middle of the night. I got up and went to his room to tell him to go to sleep. then walked out the front door and took off flying. I was apparently Astral Projecting or having a really crazy dream. Either way, when I asked my son the next day about me telling him to go to sleep, he said I did come to his room, I asked him what I looked like and he said “ghost daddy”.

117. OUT OF BODY EXPRERIENCE
I was 18 years old and I involuntarily had an out of body experience. While I was outside my body I was not consciencious of what was happening. I was curious to look around in my own room like if it was the first time I saw it and the things were inside, maybe because things appear to be behing a fog. I had to get very close to see small details like the wall paper of my room, and then I was surprised telling to myself !Is like the wall paper in my room!
For a moment I “jumped” to the third floor in my house (I was in the second floor) and I saw the light of the numbers of the clock in my brother’s room. It was 3:17 a.m., later I recalled the events. The last movement I did was to try and turn on the light, my fingers went through the switch. Then I felt there was no use to be there, I came back to one corner of the ceiling when everything started. I looked at my body down there in my bed,
I blinked my eyes and when I opened them I was in my body. I felt distressed to realize what happened, I was awake all that time, concient or reasoning; except when I was out side I did not know what was happening. I saw my cousin on the other bed, she was awake. She got scared when I called her. I asked her why she was awake, she said she could not sleep and she just felt somebody crossing her body in one direction to the right and then in the other direction to the left of her body.
It was the last movement I made when I was trying to turn on the light. I told her about my experience then we saw the time, it was 3:29 a.m. That time I knew she has a gift, we came to the conclusion that I was the one that crossed through her body in my last movement when I was outside my body.

101. OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE
My daughter had stayed with friends overnight. Early the next morning I was sitting with my son having breakfast and we both heard the frontdoor open. We both saw my daughter enter. She walked straight past us, then turned around and went back out without a word. I was worried because I thought she must be upset about something. I followed her out into the street, but she was nowhere to be seen.
I phoned her friends and demanded to know why my daughter was acting in this strange way. I nearly fell through the floor when they told me she was still sound asleep in bed.

71. OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE
I have experienced what I percieve to be very vivid dreams of floating, gliding, almost swimming through the air above my bed and through my house at night. I have been able to look down at my bed and the floor of my house and it seemed to be a waking experience instead of a dream. I have even felt the sensation of touching the ceiling and ‘flopping’ back.

51. OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE
I was being accidentally electricuted and I seemed to be mentally in slow motion and well aware of what was happening to the point that I was yelling out for help whilst my body was shaking with 240v across my chest from hand to hand. I was rescued by workmates passing by.

1286. OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE
First out of body experience I had I thought I was losing my mind. Happened by myself one night when extremely tired. Laid down and relaxed and instantly felt a lifting feeling, and looked down to find my body on the bed, and me floating towards the ceiling. I instantly panicked, and suddenly was laying on top of myself and could see and exact outline of myself. Wierd thing about these experiences is there is a feeling of still being in the physical body, but not being able to move it.

1245. OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE
I was about 6 years old and sleeping in my bed. I was having a very vivid dream that I was out of my body and floating up near the ceiling. Around this age I was afraid of the dark and in my dream I was concentrating on the bedroom light to go on. I felt myself become very tiny like a pinpoint of light and I went up into the light and into the lightbulb. Suddenly the light came on and at the same time it did, I felt my astral body slam back into my physical body. I got out of bed and ran out of my bedroom to look for my mother, who was in the livingroom (only me and her lived there). I asked her if she turned my bedroom light on. She said she had not.

1198. OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE
I was 23 years old at the time and had a very promising career at the time i was a manager of a … making a generous amount of money and had a girl friend who worked with me. we to make along story short my girlfriend was cheating on me with my best friend.
So dressed in my street clothes i went to work late at night but i didnt go to do any work i went to kill myself. i went to the chemical closet with a glass and filled it with everything i could find then made annoucement over the P.A. have a good life everyone then drank the liquid. after it went down my throat i remember passing out and seeing myself on the floor in my own vomit there was no light nothing.
then …walked by my body and he put a towel over my head and said fucking bum and then walked away. feeling angry i started to shout at him but no voice would come out. the next thing i remember i woke up and struggled to get to my feet then crawled to the maintainance room crying and sobing
my friend … knew what i had tried to do. after recieving medical attention they let me know that my hearing was damaged and would not be able to hear fully in my left ear and my throat burned for weeks after. that experience has changed me forever. it taught me that suicide is never the answer and that you cannot hand over control to someone who does not deserve it.
it also taught me that we all need help and things happen for a reason. i am now married and am planning to have a family it took a lot of soul searching i guess my soul wouldnt move on unless it was happy enough too

1182. OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE
I had a shot of penicillin and went to anaphalectic shock and Doctor told me that my vitals were BP of 40/0 and no heart beat. I never felt more peaceful in my whole life before or since. At the time I could not find any explanation at all for what happened to me. At this time I also felt like I was outside and above my body. I felt the Doctors excitement when he listened to my heart start beating again through his stethoscope.
Later in life after being 35 years old, I did find some explanations and understanding about what happened while I was there in the Docs office on an examining table. Currently I am 66 and believe I have had other experiences that happened during operations and I have no conscious recollection of them however my conscious mind has changed since I underwent several operations in 1988 after an automobile accident.

I knew what I was missing when I was suppose to be asleep, and I dont know if this is significant or not , but my mother told me after I got older that I used to have my eyes still open even though she new I was asleep

1137. OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE
I’m a avid projectionist and been leaving the body for 19 years now and almost skilled enough to project when I want. I leave the body about 1-3 times per week on the average 15 experiences per month. I’ve had over thousands of OBE’s and my journals, data are available on my web site for review.

1133. OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE
I had a kind of mystical experience in a time of great stress, when I lived in an oppressive community. Suddenly the fear I felt all the time lifted and I experienced great calm and unity, and a clearity of thought and intuition that was, under the circumstances, amazing. There was an overwhelming conviction that I was part of a whole that was Good. It lasted, or ‘afterglowed’ for about a week, and when it suddenly disappeared I felt that I lost something precious. I never talked about it at that time, but people said I was ‘glowing’.

1107. OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE
One experience when I felt myself leave my body (Out-of-body-experience). I was in my bedroom and I noticed two people standing at my door. I felt scared though not because the people were “evil” but just because they were people or spirits that shouldn’t be standing at my bedroom door in the middle of the night. There was a man with silvery hair and a woman.
They were holding a clipboard in their hands and I got the feeling that they were going to show me what my “life work was going to be”. They acted very professional and acted like they wanted to enter my room. Then I got scared and put up my hand and said “no”. My reaction seemed to put an invisible shield up in front of my door and prevented them from entering.
They then sent in a mechanical fish that floated through the air and I could feel gentle brushes on my face as it harmlessly flew through my room. Later on in my life I joined a spiritual healing group and two people in this group seemed to look simular to these two spirits. Also I realized later that the fish may have represented the passing of Piscean Age and the beginning of the aquarian age? Who knows for sure.

1099. OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE
Died when I was 15 years old,went to a place in the center of the earth that was very dark and like a jail in a large cavern. The cavern was filled with spirits that talked to me. These spirits were color coded according to that which caused them to be there. I was the most scared I had ever been.I found out this place was referenced in the New Testement as a prison for spirits. I was sent there to witness this place. The spirits there were all neon like colors in total darkness. Their bodies were like a snake, a scorpion, spiders, but they all had human heads and spoke to me. I prayed and asked God to get me out of there and he did instantly and I came back to life when I reentered my body.

1043. OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE
I laid in bed in the middle of the aftrnoon. I felt my soul release from my body and rise above the eatrh. I could not only see my body laying on the bed, but I also ascended to a higher plane above the clouds.
It was so satisfying to see and feel the tops of the trees along with the clouds floating by and through me. I remember seeing a large pool of water surrounded by vegetation. After a long moment I returned back to my room, before descending back into my body. As I dropped back into my body I was covered with goose bumps all over until I came to my earhtly senses.
The thought behind this was that I was embarking upon a new beginning in my life, which later became true.

39. OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE
I was performing with a chorus in an International contest. Shortly after the first of 4 songs began I was viewing the contest from the perspective of above and behind the choral risers on which we were standing. I felt as though I was connected to a limitless spring of energy from below, each of the other chorus members and our director through boday and mind – as if we were a single being, and to every person observing the 12 minute performance. Leaving the stage I was energized and although I could remember even the most minute of details, it seemed I had only dreamt it. To make the long story short, we won and by one of the largest margins to date.

47. OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE
It was my first Astral Projection experience. I was able to, while in bed at night with my wife, experience my soul or Superconciousness leave my body for a least a few minutes and fly out the roof of the house and down the street. It was evening, but I was awake, and definItely not sleeping. I was able to see all of the houses on the street in the dark; I flew over all of them and I streaked upwards into the sky as to what would have been over 100 feet up; afterward, I snapped back down into my body again. This was quite a spontaneous action: I have had such a couple of times since but not such as that one experience was. I was in my late 20′s of age at that time.

178. OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE, PSYCHOKINESIS
I had been swimming in a public pool when there was a freak chlorine release of the gas as the valve had failed. I had continued swimming lengths and took in chlorine gas. I was bedridden for three weeks due to depressed immune responce. I was lifted out of my bed and surrounded with white light. My immune system improved within a week…a miracle..the doctor said. A month later, I was scanning peoples bodies like an x-ray and realized I could had the ability to be a medcial intuitive. I have continued to use these skills..discreetly but when given permission.

182. OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE, PSYCHIC KIDS
Mostly between the age of 6 and 18, and then occassionally up to the age of around 25 or so, i would have out of body experiences while sleeping. It happens in a very deep sleep, I usually don’t go far away when it happens (I get too scared to get to far away), I am flying but again, I am too scared to go to high. I usually stay above houses only. The feeling is so wonderful, I can’t describe it. Pure bliss! When I awake I am very tired though, very drained even though it was a very deep sleep. I can’t do it anymore, but I can remember the sensation very well.

186. OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE, PAST LIFE, PREMONITION
In 1996, I began to practice “How to Have an OBE” by reading the online journal story by Robert Peterson. At that time, I had been practicing TM meditation for a number of years. I combined Mr Peterson’s OBE practices with TM, and began having experiences within 2 weeks. The experiences began with a loud pop in my left ear.
A few days later, I saw a transparent figure hovering over my bed, with orbs of light and a “web-like” protrusion going from the solarplexus area to myself lying in bed. The OBE happened several more days to several weeks later (hard to recall). I was meditating, with my 3 year old daughter sleeping next to me. I felt and heard a whooshing sound and pulled up out of my body. Remembering Robert Peterson’s instructions, I immediately looked at my hands. Both hands were transparent with a multitude of different points of light (in the rainbow spectrum) around the transparency. I shouted, “yes, I’m out.”
My voice sounded in the base range and I heard it. I then tried to pull myself completely out, but came back into my body. When I opened my eyes, I looked to the corner of my room, toward the ceiling – I saw a dark grey filmy shadow slowly fade out of view. I had other experiences of flying and meeting people (of the spiritual realm).
I had two past life experiences (or, what I thought may have been past life, or looking through the eyes of another). Most of these experiences stopped in 1998. I told my husband I felt the rug had been pulled out from under me. Two weeks before most of my experiences stopped, I dreamed of seeing my husband saying goodbye to me. One week after that I saw him on a white pillar-like slab, and he was dead. I woke up to make certain he was still breathing. One week after this experience, my husband was diagnosed with … cancer (…). He died from this in the year 2000. I have had sporadic paranormal events since then, but not the OBE’s.

228. OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE
I was lying in bed, at night time, and suddenly felt as if I was standing in front of the mirror on the other side of my bedroom. Looking in the mirror, I could see myself lying in bed. This lasted for maybe a few seconds.

232. OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE
I was awake, I was showering when suddenly I was in an other worldly place. It was luminous, beautiful beyond description and peopled. It was the equivelant of a near death experience without being near death.

529. OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE
I’ve had too many experiences to describe them all. Most amazing was a long night of visions OOB, flying into a city of golden light where I entered a ‘conference room’. At the table sat a group of figures in monk’s robes, hooded, no faces I could see but I could feel their thoughts. They gave me quite a lecture about what I was supposed to do with my life, and wasn’t. Then they showed me the Unmanifest and Manifest, and how everything was made and why. They also showed me the future–this was about ten years ago–many of the events have occurred, although I thought they were so strange at the time, I didn’t believe. Who could have believed the things that have occurred these last five years?
Many things I saw have not yet come to pass–and I hope do not. At that time, no one had heard much about terrorism, so I was puzzled as to who was doing this.
