OBE - "A Friend? No, A Thought Elemental"

[Greytraveller]

Greetings all

Another OBE to report here. Nothing very dramatic about it yet this experience Does have some interesting points. Note my confusion about the friend/thought elemental. Also in many ways this was similar to an OBE that I had last month (both were preceded by a dream). Here it is, the title is


                                      "A Friend? No, A Thought Elemental"
                                            Friday, November 5, 2010 (OBE # 97)
   This OBE began with a dream.
   Dream. Harry and I were back in New Orleans living in a large 2 room apartment in a multi-story building. I was resting on a sofa in a meditative state. I heard a strange noise so Harry took a look around yet nobody else was there. A few moments later I felt very mild vibrations and so became aware of the possibility of going out of body.
   OBE # 97.  It took 2 or 3 attempts over several minutes to separate and achieve the OBE. I simply floated up off the sofa and went up the wall to the ceiling.
   I was still in the apartment and Harry was also there. It is (now) obvious to me that Harry was only a thought elemental / dream character and was not actually there. Yet the location is not as obvious. Perhaps the place was an unfamiliar physical location or it may have been a non-physical ethereal realm. Or possibly I was still in my own bedroom and dream imagery distorted my astral awareness.
   Wherever it was I floated around up near the ceiling and called out to Harry to witness and 'confirm' the OBE. Harry heard and saw me and expressed amazement. I was excited at the idea of having a friend validate the OBE without realizing, of course, that the friend was not really there. So I spent a few minutes explaining the basics of the OBE to the thought elemental Harry. This was a mistake because it wasted time and kept me too close to my physical body. As a result reintegration with the physical soon occured.
   Notes. Time was between 4:00 - 5:30 AM. Duration lasted about 7 - 10 minutes. I (probably) lay on my left side. The location was either an unfamiliar (physical) Locale I or else an ethereal BST. There was a familiar being - a thought elemental. Dream >>into>> OBE, Deliberate, Emotional, Confused, Floated, Vibrations, Pranayama (earlier), Meditation (earlier) and (maybe) teleportation.

Thanx for reading. Comments and questions are welcomed.

Very interesting Grey Traveler. I like how you analyze your experiences, and recognizing exactly what the other person actually is. It would have been nice to know while the experience was going on so you didn't sit around and explain things to "it", but very interesting none the less. Maybe next time you'll catch it earlier.

Yes, it is easy for me to be discerning and analytical AFTER the OBE is over but it is much harder to be that way during the experience. I expect most people are that way too. So I catch obvious mistakes and incongruities only later after they occur.
Hopefully by writing up and posting each OBE I will highlight the obvious errors and not be fooled a second time. My motto is to "pay for my mistakes but don't repeat those mistakes".
