 I have a question about an obe experience. A few years ago, when I lived in an apartment building, I decided I would try to roam the halls of my building - in spirit. I successfully left my body and got out of bed. I made my way to my door and as I started to go through it I had the most marvelous idea that I was going to break in to my neighbor's  ( a single guy) apartment and look through his stuff. I went through my door and ,to my horror, there was this large black gargoyle-like creature sitting next to his apartment door. It looked like a cross between a bear and a dog. I should mention that I wear glasses and during an obe I am just as near sighted as I am in my body, so I couldn't make out it's details. It was just sitting there and didn't move.

I was about to turn around when I thought, "Hey, I worked hard to have this obe and I am going to go into his apartment and go through his STUFF!" That's all I was going to do- I was just being nosey and that creature wasn't going to stop me.  I crossed the hall , went past the creature, and made my way into the guy's apartment. Just when I thought I had made it inside I felt something clamp on to my leg and BOING I was flung back into my body! Boy was I mad. What was that thing? Does anyone know? It didn't hurt me, but I was startled. Was he my neighbors guardian? Why did it stop me? It obviously didn't want me to astrally (is that a word?) break into my neighbor's apartment. Has anyone ever come across one of these creatures? For a long time I  entertained the thought of telling my neighbor about his guardian ( if that's what it was) but I thought better of it and decided not to tell him. I know this creature wasn't a manifestation of my subconscious because I was very determined to go where ever I wanted .
Over the years I have often thought about that strange encounter and wondered if there are rules we have to obey when we astral travel. And --if there are rules perhaps I was breaking one of them by trying to intrude on someone's private space. Any ideas on what that was and have any of you encountered similar entities? Thank you.

Hello to my fellow astral travelers. I am an older woman with very old New England roots. I am a fairly new transplant to the mysterious mountains of West Virginia. Leaving my body is hard work and I frequently come back with a headache. I do wear glasses and when I leave my body I find, to my chagrin, that I am still nearsighted! I have tried ,unsuccessfully ,bringing simple things back with me as proof of my OBE experience. Once when I was outside I pulled up some grass and when I slowly entered my body I felt it dissolve in my hand the moment I opened my eyes. I guess going in a bank and grabbing all the dough is out of the question. Nah- I wouldn't even if I could.  I have also experienced dimension  shifts. I have experienced the strange quick travel through a tunnel and ending up in another room in another place in time. This was very disconcerting since I could still hear my family speaking in the other room and when I called they didn't hear me. For awhile I unintentionally haunted the old home where my grandmother (long deceased) lived. This stopped the day I surprised a bunch of people who had gathered in the dining room. I have encountered a creature or two during my travel, but I will share that some other time. Do any of you plan astral get togethers or meetings?
