Here's my journal entry as mentioned previously----- start of journal entry -----
Thursday, June 27, 2002
I woke up around 6:00am, fairly awake. I listened to "Belief Builder" track 3 (Lucid Dreaming CD) & then laid on my left side in fetal position, to go to sleep. Since my mind was much awake, I lay still until my body was almost "numb" & my limbs were indistinguishable from my torso. I finally fell asleep.
I was awoke, or more correctly, became "aware" from a buzzing vibration on the back of my neck (base of skull down to shoulders). I also was hearing a loud mechanical buzzing/clanking noise in my ears. At this point, I felt a hand, holding my left hand, pulling me "around" (I physically felt movement).
Now for the interesting part, my visual awareness is that of childhood bedroom @ my parents house, not that of the hotel room in Aruba (that's confusing). Anyhow, this invisible hand starts to pull my left arm through the East wall of my bedroom, up to the shoulder. I don't really want to go through the wall,so it instead pulls me "out of body", up above the bed and around the perimeter of the bedroom in a semi-circle. As I am over the bed, I notice that it is empty (no body) with sheets pulled back, as if slept in. So I am logically questioning, "Where's my body?" since I expected to see it below me (it's in Aruba ... I'm in Oxford, MI USA ... still perplexed about this?)
The invisible hand is still pulling/leading me around and I am now focused on finding out who/what is pulling, so I think, "Wait" or "Stop" and "Who is pulling me?" There appears an arm (right arm) up to the shoulder, holding my hand. The arm is caucasian & about twice as large as mine ... and somewhat resembles the shape of my arm musculature (the hand has now let go). No more of this body appears, only the arm.
I now begin to slowly float up through the ceiling & visually experience the passing by of the drywall, rafters and insulation. I see Amy's (my sister) old kiddie hutch/fridge/stove in the attic over my room (questionable in reality ... later confirmed "part" of them are there) and begin to float through th roof of the house. As I do so, I look down, notice I am naked, and am feeling the vibrations of the roof, as I pass through it. OBE ends.
I think that I do remember the buzzing/vibrations & loud ear sounds through out the entire event ... making me wonder about this being a Lucid Dream instead of an OBE? (Was I OBE, but not out of body?!?) More testing to confirm this.
