I had an OBE I have never forgotten in 1972 but still don't understand why. I floated above my body and looked down at myself on the bed and tapped my boyfriend's shoulder and said "I love you." We did NOT stay together and I was not in any physica pain. I astral projected a lot as a child and then that happened out of the blue. I saw my extra long hair in my astral body and my filmy white gown and the sparkling silver cord. I was not scared at all and want to project again to solve problems and fulfill my destiny and contribute to the universe. Thanks for any replies, spirit
