Hi all,

yesterday night I had a unique experience. I mean i had astral projection experiences before but never in space.
I started having the weird symptoms of astral projection, just last February. I had no idea what astral projection was at the time and I only knew of some stories of people experiencing OBEs while close to death. I really don't know for what reason all that started happening to me all of the sudden, I did nothing to cause it.
Anyway, since then i started searching of whats happening to me and after some time i ended up following the Gnostic movement.

So, to make the long story short, last night when i went to bed I prayed to my divine mother for conciousness while out of the body and asked of her to transfer me in space and really meant it from the heart.

Very soon after closing my eyes I started getting loud buzzes in my head (within few minutes) that seemed to come and go like waves. Soon i felt released and out of body but without any vision, when i finally started to see i could only see stars all around me. Suddenly i started to travel with what felt like light speed and i think i could see both infront and behind me at the same time. It looked kind of how the enterprise looks when it travels at warp speeds in star trek.

When i stopped i found myself in a very weird environment, i could see coloured formations that resembled bacterial shaped like life forms (the size of a small dog) only they were moving in space and they were not on some planet. That was weird !!!! Life in the vacuum of space?
After that I remember thinking how I'm going to find earth and return since it looked like i was in the middle of nowhere, just stars everywhere but I remembered that i shouln't worry about returning, it would happen anyway.

When i found myself in bed, i felt like crying, my eyes got watery from deep emotion.

Anyone had ever seen life floating in space just like that while traveling in astral space?

I begun having astral experiences 2 months ago, they started happening without me knowing anything about the phenomenon.
After i did research, i decided to investigate what was happening to me further so i joined a gnostic group in the city i live in. I have lessons about astral projection and meditation technics every Sunday, i also read a book that goes with the technics that are tought.

Yesterday night (around 1 am) i went to bed after doing some reading of this particular book. I started doing a practice having to do with visualizing the heart as an organ and feeling its beats. Before i know it and right out of the blue, the loud buzzing in my head begins and i feel my (astral) body moving, i try to get out entirely but have difficulty so i continue to visualize my heart. I have only some astral experiences so far but this was my first intended one that had success and it was SO easy. Most of the times i fell to sleep and my conciousness was waking up just before i exited my body (in the gnostic center someone told me that this may be "help" of some kind, i even felt a soft squeze on my arm once at he buzzing sound state).

Anyway, suddenly i find myself in a large room (very vividly and totally aware of what was happening to me), i could hear music (kind of familiar music). I can see many people around me and they're dressed in some kind of animal costumes, running around in what seemed to be some kind of dance. I felt very excited and very happy and i remember "running" after them, i also recall passing through a glass window that seperated this room with another one.
After a while of running around in this kind of dance, these people started to line up in queues and there was a person infront of them (facing them), he looked like he was ready to anounce something.
After that i begun loosing clarity fast, i thought about rubbing my hands together (a stay aware technic) but it happened very fast to do anything so i found myself in bed.
The whole thing lasted about 15 minutes (i looked at the clock just before going to bed and after i woke up). It was very vivid, after i woke up i felt so touched and happy that i almost bursted into tears. It was the most vivid astral experience i ever had.

Any ideas about where that could have taken place? I mean it was a bit surreal to have happened in the real time zone at 1 am. It could be on another part of the globe but... i don't know....
My other experiences were more like being in an unknown apartment staring at what's happening or flying towards the stars.

Any ideas?

Hello everyone,

i begun to read about OBEs and Astral projection 2-3 months ago. Some weird symptoms i experienced and didn't know what they were, made me look a bit more into this.
Sometimes i woke up totally paralyzed in bed, other times i remembered waking up in the middle of the night having a buzzing sensation into my head like loud ringing, and other times i felt very light and a levitating kind of sensation while having my eyes closed.

At the beginning it was happening without me knowing much or trying to do anything to induce it. Even after a lot of reading about the OBE subject, I would "wake" up having the buzzing into my head and take it from there but as soon as i felt like i was leaving my body, i lost concentration and there i was again in my body with a numb feeling all over.

Anyway i had two experiences that i'm not certain if they were actual OBEs or a dream that i could have had due to my recent pursuit of the subject and mostly because i recall my vision and memory to be a bit fuzzy.
In both these experiences i never left my room and both took place during my 2 hours 6pm sleep after work and none of them lasted long.

What makes me doubt that it was actually an OBE is...

1. I recall that my vision was more less like it would be in the physical. The room was dark, only the green digits from the alarm clock were luminating it, just enough for someone to see a bit, so i couldn't "see" clearly.
I've read that in other people's experiences, the room being dark didn't matter and they could see just fine while out of body. This wasn't the case for me.
I actually saw my body laying on the bed but like looking at it in mid dark.

2. Once, i "got up" and when i actually looked on the bed i saw me and another person laying next to me in bed that i didn't recognise, appearing to be sleeping.
A friend of mine's friend (girl) that had very intense experiences of this sort, was convinced to talk to me about it after telling her i had the symptoms of OBE (she totally freaked out when all these started to happen to her even during the day, and she didn't want to talk to anyone about it...).
I remember her saying that once she got out of body but when she looked at her bed, instead of seeing herself there, she actually saw a blond boy laying there sleeping.... this is similar to my case. Could something like this happen in an OBE or does this mean it was just a dream?


3. Another time i "rolled" out and i remember that it was like i was spinning and rolling everywhere in the room.

All these times, my memory is a bit fuzzy, from other people's experiences i've read that they have very clear memories and vision, no matter the luminance in the room.

Were these experiences dreams or OBEs?

Hello,
I'm Apollon and i was introduced to this OBE etc matters fairly recently, due to some "symptoms" i was having and didn't know what they were (often sleep paralysis, buzzing sounds in my head during half asleep, spinning like wirldpool sensation).
At first i didn't pay much attention until once i felt like i was light as a feather and had the impression i was levitating somehow.
That cought my attention and after reading on the internet about sleep paralysis initially, i was amazed to find out that the same symptoms i was having were described as the initial ones of an OBE.

At first i was very excited and determined to master OBE and astral projection but to be honest, some things i've read about seeing lower astral entities, scared the crap out of me. Specially when i read that lower entities are attracted to sad feeling people (i had depression from time to time), this discouraged me a bit and although i know i can make it (since i found out what my symptoms were, i gain lucidity within sleep paralysis almost every second day the past week) i'm very scared of facing something that would terrify me. I live alone and only the thought of "seeing" something in my room petrifies me.

Anyway, i'm glad to be here and i'm sure i'll find some answers by more experienced people on these matters like you.
