OBE experience other night.

[Clarky]

Not last night but the night before, I had a really strange OBE experience. I had a few projections where I'd just be heading for my bedroom door and going through it and then returning straight back to my body and then a bit later I found myself becoming lucid in one of these environments where it seems like your at a location rather than something your mind has simply created if you know what I mean. I was in this garden area with a few greenhouses scattered about talking to this man with short brown hair who I think was named Scott and I asked him if he knew what astral projection or out of body experiences were. He said 'of course I do' I said do you visit the website 'astral pulse' at all? He said 'yes I do'.. I said a few other things but cant quite remember what was said. Then I went to feel for my cord which is common place now and once again, there it was attached to the back of my head. When I went to feel for it, this man looked at me and I asked him 'Do you have one of these at all?' He went to feel for it and he didn't have one. I moved closer to him and felt for it myself and as I did this, I felt a big tug on the back of my head and a snapping noise and I looked at him and he was smiling.. I thought oh my god! and willed myself back hoping that I 'could' actually get back and I started panicking a little. Then on returning, I found myself completely paralysed and not able to move or speak for what seemed like a good minute and then I finally was able to get up out of bed. This is actually unusual too as the sleep paralysis is usually only short and lasts only 5 or so seconds if that.

This thing with the cord does make me wonder though and is my main focus when either out of body or lucid in a dream but I also wonder if its only there because I'm expecting it to be there..

Hi Clarky

If the discarnate "Scott' who you conversed with in your OBE did Not have a silver cord it May mean that he was permanently discarnate (= dead).
However, since few people report seeing or feeling their silver cord during an OBE then Scott might just as well be a living person who was also having an OBE.

Some of the older 'classic' books on OBE discuss the silver cord (Muldoon, Monroe). Yet actually few people report having a silver cord while out of body. In the online OBE survey that I did a couple years ago that percentage of people reporting a silver cord while OOB was less than 10 %.
Interestingly there have been many reports of the cord recently. I don't know if that current surge of silver cord reports is a statistical aberation of if it represents something fundamentally significant?? 

Thanx for posting your OBE
