OBE

Don't know of this is the correct category for this, mods feel free to move it. I was in bed the other morning with my girlfriend, she was lying with her back to me. A couple of seconds before the alarm went off I was totally awake, this in itself is odd, I'm an extremely heavy sleeper, I've been working really long 100+ hour weeks and every night I crash out and can barely get-up in the morning. In the split second that I looked over at my girlfriend I clearly saw her jump in to bed where she was already lying, she then woke up as the alarm sounded.

I described this to my father, we're extremely close and I can talk about anything with him, he imediatley and calmly described it as an OBE and talked to me briefly about the astral body. He said that he has them all the time and has even sucessfully induced astral projection.

This is all a bit new to me, I knew my dad was quite spirtual and we'd spoken previously about spiritual healing and psychics. He believes very strongly that his mother 'had the gift', he also believes that my own mother represses the gift.

I often have dreams of flying and always seem to be very perceptive although I neither believe or dis-believe in the "paranormal". I think he'd quite like me to further examine my own abilities.

Just hoping to kick off a discussion.

I don't know if I could say I had the gift or not, but I’ve always had the knack for knowing what is really going on or what is going to happen. I’ve dreamt things in the past (quite often actually) that have told me what I needed to know or lead me to the right place (how to find out the truth).

I really wish I understood more about how to work with the ability, or at least understand it.

I want to learn how to read the Tarot, but from what I understand you need to be given them as a gift by someone who sea’s your ability in order for them to really work for you. Any of you guys read Tarot?

Nothing like that has happened to me, though friends have mentioned things kind of like this. The closest I get is I get Deja Vu all the freakin' time.

I was stoned one night amd thinking deep thoughts. When I opened my eyes I was looking down at myself sitting on the lounge. I was shocked at first, but ever since then I've been trying to do it again to no avail.

My mother reckons I've got the "second sight" just like my Granny had. I predict a lot of things and they happen.
When the boss employs new carpenters or plasterers he gets them to work with me for a few days because he says I've got a very accurate "bullshit meter". I'm guessing that "second sight" and "bullshit meter" are the same or similar things. I dunno.

i can remember having two obes, both when i was a kid. i also had another...experience... that was different but along the same lines i guess.

the first was when i was really little, maybe 5 years old? so hard to describe this but as i remember it, i walked into a bedroom and saw a little girl sleeping on a bed with her back to me, facing the wall. i remember thinking she had beautiful hair and not knowing who she was. next thing i know, i'm waking up and rolling over, looking at the doorway. (so initially, i was standing in the door and looking at some little girl. then i was the little girl (me) and looking at the doorway.) i can't describe the sensation very well. it was less about feeling i was outside my body, more that i felt i wasn't the person the body belonged to, i was just watching her.

second time was similar but i was older, around 12 or 13. this time, i was sitting on my bed crying (no need for details on why, but i was very emotional and upset). i don't remember "leaving" my body or anything like that, but i was standing in my closet and looking at a girl crying on the bed (i didn't identify with the girl as being me, or the room as belonging to me). and i thought, why is she crying? doesn't she know that everything will be ok?. next thing i know, i'm me again, sitting on my bed, no longer crying and staring at my closet doorway.

my other weird experience was several years later when i was 17. my favorite brother was moving to where my other brother lived. the one brother had come back to town to help my fav brother pack up and move. i was really upset about him leaving because we were really close and it meant i prolly wouldn't see him except maybe on holidays. they left kinda late and had a 24 hour drive ahead of them. that night, i had a dream that they'd been in a car accident. i wasn't with them, but i could see and hear it all happening, like watching a movie. i saw the car totalled and both of them standing outside it by the guard rail, unhurt and laughing about it. i could see inside the car and saw my brother's television with the screen smashed in. when i woke up the next morning, my bf came over and i told him about it. at the time, my parents were out of town and a family friend was staying with me. she came in a few minutes later and told me that the night before my brothers were in a car accident but neither of them were hurt. they'd lost control of their car and hit a guard rail.

the dream may have been a premonition...i was sleeping so i can't match up the time of their crash to the time of my dream. but if it were a premonition, it stands to reason i would have dreamed about them as they were having the accident and not them standing around in the aftermath of it. though i could have had my dream after their accident but before i had heard about it. but the feeling i had at the time, and still do, is that i was there watching them just after they had the accident. i recall feeling grateful in my dream that they were both ok and being a little irritated with them that they thought it was funny when they could have been killed. later, when i spoke to my brother he told me what had happened. before i told him about my dream, he said they started laughing when they got out of the car. i asked him what happened to his tv and he said the screen was busted in the accident.

for several weeks after that dream, i had horrible nightmares about terrible things happening to my loved ones (none of which came true). and when they finally stopped, i quit remembering dreaming all together--i knew i dreamed cause everyone does, but it felt like i didn't and remembered nothing. it was prolly 5 years or so before i started having dreams i could remember again.

I have had many OBE experiences. I won't go into them all but the first time I remember having them is when I was 3. I don't remember the details leading up to it, they were told to me later.

My brother and I were fighting over a pencil. He let go and the pencil wound up embedded in my left eye. My mother and father picked me up and carried me to the kitchen and laid me on an ironing board. I remember floating above them and watching them working on me. My mother was frantic as my father pulled the pencil out and my eye came with it. I felt no pain, but felt sorry for my mother because she was so upset and crying. I remember moving back and forth on the ceiling avoiding the globe lighting fixture as I watched them. I don't remember much else until later.

They told me they rushed me to the hospital and I was operated on for several hours as the doctor put my eye back together. For some reason after the operation they had both my eyes blindfolded and my hands were tied down so I could not mess with the bandages. They kept me blind this way for about a week and my mother stayed in the same room with me.

I remember leaving my body several times during that week and floating up and down the halls of the hospital. By the time they took the bandages off I knew what every nurse and doctor looked like already. I also already knew what the layout of my room and hospital floor was.

I guess because of the operation and all I didn't think being out of my body was a big deal and did not seem strange at all. It seemed normal to me at the time. I remember how much fun it was to float around and how clunky it felt to be back in my body. I have had other experiences later with OBE but those will wait for another time.

About three years ago I woke up in the middle of the night. I had a funny feeling, like I was too light. I looked around the room and though the lights were off I could see perfectly. I turned my head and realized that I couldn't feel my pillow under it. That when I realized that I wasn't in bed at all, but was above it about three feet. I turned to look down and first saw my wife sleeping. I remember thinking about how beautiful she is and how much I love her. Then I saw my body, I thought I had died. I wasn't scared or anything, it was all very peaceful. The thought that I didn't want to leave my wife alone came to mind and as soon as it did I was back in bed. My legs and arms felt cold at first but warmed up within a few minutes.
