Another OBE

[Timandra]

Hi everyone,
I thought I'd share another obe which happened at January the 13th of this year. I have always thought that I was having obe-dreams but now I know they were real obe's all the time. They started when i was about 17 years old and the first ones I remember were that I would "wake up" and found myself floating against the ceiling of my bedroom and after that I just lost awareness and remembered them in the morning. I just thought that they were strange dreams.

Later on I also started to feel with my hands throught the walls and floors and it was very weird that I felt the texture while reaching through and sometimes I would feel nails. I never told anyone about these "dreams". And also I sometimes didn't have them for longer periods of time. They started again in 1997 but very rarely. In 2008 they became more frequent but I still could't believe they were real obe's. Not until I had an obe this year where I felt the seperating of my body and the return and then I knew how an obe felt.

OBE
I was in my bed and felt myself going down through the mattrass, I was having a projection. My spiritguide was with me, he said I shouldn't be afraid. I didn't see him but I felt his hand on my back. At first it was like we went through wormholes, really fast. After that it was like we went through all kinds of layers of spheres. There was a lot of light and movement and there were many colors, very beautiful. Suddenly it stopped and we were in a place and I was put on a chair. It looked like a small cosy church.

There was a man at the right of me looking at some sheets of paper, and a woman. They seemed to be preparing for something. Then I heard an announcement that there would be an interview with me and they called my full name and where I lived. I didn't like that at all. The man was some sort of radio person and was going to interview me. The church was the studio. I had absolutely no idea what he would interview me about. But I was upset and nervous and I got faint fits several times until I fell off the chair and blacked out... 
Thanks for reading.

Hi Timandra
That was an interesting read and thanx for posting it.
A couple quick comments. You mention having had OBEs when you were younger and thinking at that time that they were only dreams. That hits home to me because that is Exactly what I experienced.  Beginning at about the age of 7 or 8 (maybe even younger) and continuing until about age 14 or 15, I had many OBEs but never knew what they where. (Back then, in the late 1960s and early 1970s OBEs had hardly been heard of). Any idea as to how many projections you experienced back then? I'm kinda curious because I don't know how many OBEs I had back then, it might have been a few dozen, it could have 500 or more???

Secondly concerning your spirit guide. I've read a lot of OBE reports where a spirit guide takes a person somewhere out of body but doesn't explain to them a) why there are there or b) what they are supposed to do there or c) what 'lesson' they are supposed to learn? So I get a bit suspicious of the whole spirit guide thing. Why doesn't your spirit guide confide in you about where he/she is taking you?? Obviously you must trust your spirit guide but isn't a healthy dose of skepticism a good idea here?

I completely understand your point. I'm skeptical of everything that seems to come from outside of myself during an AP. The few times I've communicated to what I might be considered a guide they've told me: "you already know, look in yourself, you have the answer..." etc. For me, figuring things out on my own seems to be a part of the path.

Hi Grey,
Thanks for responding. I'm not sure how many obe's I have had but I estimate I had an average of 1 a month for several years. When I moved into my own house they were still there because I remember that I was puzzled that the ceilings I was floating against matched the "reality. The one in my present house is slanted. I think I must have had approx. 96 obe's before I moved and after that the frequency diminished, but I think I must have had at least 200 until today.
Sometimes I thought at the time that I was really doing things like feel through walls and floating around but after I woke up I thought:" No, it must have been a dream."

About the spirit guides, I have already wondered why in so many obe stories spirit guides were not mentioned. It is indeed weird that they would take me and not explain anything. On the other side, I never asked. I was a bit aware but not that much and let me take away like a gullible sheep... I have had one other obe where I was taken, but in that one I became aware in the middle of flight, and it was very short because the high speed woke me up. (The feeling in my stomach caused by the speed). But at that time I didn't have the (gut)feeling that it was a spirit guide but a sort of a companion/friend. But now, that I have much more awareness in my obe's I will certainly take other decisions and ask questions if the same thing would happen again. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

Thank you also Stookie, I agree with you.

Hi Timandra
Your estimation of the number of OBEs you had when younger approximates mine more or less. I probably had several dozen but now can only remember very few of them. One recurring OBE I had way back in the day was flying high over a city of HUGE buildings. It must have been in a Belief System Territory or a higher astral plane.

I have never had a spirit guide (SG) (and have never desired one). I don't believe that spirit guides are intentionally misleading per se. I just don't understand why so many people place great importance on having a SG. It seems like the whole idea is overemphasized. But by not having a SG I may just be missing out?? 
Anyway having a SG appears to be a benefit to you and that is the important point!
