[When conditions are right, the trace is replayed and/or received much like a movie or audio clip]

thanks for answering all with your thoughts..

when you all mentioned telepathic visions and discarnate entities. I decided to look further into all this especially since I had not heard of the term discarnate entities till now. ( wow , a lot more stuff that seems to come along with all of this..seems much deeper than I expected)  anyhow, what I found was this and it scares me now
an excerpt:
""Trace/telepathic" hypotheses have also been proposed to explain the ghost experience. According to these hypotheses, images are somehow "imprinted" on a location—perhaps by a traumatic death or emotionally-loaded experience an individual had while still living. When conditions are right, the trace is replayed and/or received much like a movie or audio clip. Those sensitive to the lingering "telepathic charge" (as H.H. Price hypothesized) can receive and interpret the charge as a ghostly encounter."

after reading that, there is something I did not mention in my original post after I got back to my body and it gave me goosebumps just thinking of it. When I was rushed back to my body..I did feel my eyes to be open and myself to be aware of my surroundings..while looking in front of me in the dark.  What I saw was bizarre and did not want to mention here for fear people may think I was on some kind of drugs or something. What I saw while laying back in my body was what looked like to me as if someone was projecting to me as a movie like the excerpt I posted .first it was a large dinosaur running towards me, then a train rushing towards me, then something else that was big and just as fierceful, but cannot remember because I closed my eyes after that..but it seemed as if something or someone wanted me to exit my body again and was trying to project something upon me to do so.

I'm thinking the same thing too...sleep paralysis. I always feel very scared when it happens and the sleep paralysis has been happening to me for about 10 yrs now. (Though now remembering to my past I do believe I may have experienced it when I was a child but just shook them off as bad dreams).. anyhow I  never was able to have an obe or astral project till just recently, because quite frankly up till now I've been to scared to let anything further happen .

When I first experienced it, it was during an afternoon nap. I felt vibrations and a very loud humming noise like there was an air conditioner near my head. I then saw a small dark figure running past the bed out of the corner of my eye. Then it felt like who ever was there was pulling the blanket off of me.  I can never move, talk or scream when these episodes happens, but every time I do have sleep paralysis it always feels like there is a presence near me and most times It does feel like I see some shadowy figure nearby .

all the best.

I am new here but  I would like to tell of an experience I had... usually I have only had many experiences of what seems to be sleep paralysis over the last 10 yrs. I get the vibrations in my head as if I am laying next to a real noisy air conditioner. My body then seems to be in a paralyzed state for a few minutes and then all I can do is move my eyes. I cant scream or yell. Not sure if this really has anything to do with OBE but I finally decided to let myself go and allow to have what would ever happen

Now, I think I finally had an OBE a few weeks ago and this is what I can remember:

I was sleeping on my couch on my left side with my back towards the back side of the couch. I couldnt seem to fall asleep and I finally looked at the clock and the last time I remember seeing was 2am.. after the following experience I looked at the clock again and it said 3 am.. So this whole experience seemed to last about an hr.

I started to feel the vibrations like I have felt them in the past then all of a sudden it felt like I was either thrown from my body or shoved really harshly out of my body across the room right through the back of the couch. I landed on my butt with my back against the wall on the other side of the room. I didnt feel hurt or anything when I landed. It actually felt like I landed very softly which was odd because it was such a forceful exit out of my body.. It was dark and I couldnt really see anything, but I knew I was sitting on the floor.

It took me a moment to realize where I was and I could not see my actual physical body because it was on the other side of the couch ..after all these yrs. , this was the first time it actually felt like I left my body... so I was really in fear and decided I needed to get back to my body, only I could not see it. I kept saying in my mind and telling myself to  " Get back "  because I could not seem to speak the words only think them. It is the same technique I use to get myself out of that sleep paralysis state. Then all of a sudden I felt my body zooming very fast through what seemed like a long and very tight dark tunnel, I could see a very bright light at the end, but that is all I could see. then Boom I was suddenly back in my body.

So then I am laying there back in my body and I remember feeling happy and also that I was breathing very heavily as if I had just ran a mile and it feels like I am so exhausted..mindfully as well as physically.

is this what it is supposed to feel like>?
Why did it feel as if I was pushed or shoved out of my body?
Was there someone there that helped me out?

thanks all,
Sara

Hi Everyone,
I have been lurking the boards for the past few months here and finally decided to sign up. I am new here, but probably not so new to astral projection/obe. I have been somewhat confused as to if obe/astral projection is the same thing..is it.?

in any case..What finally made me decide to sign up is the last few obe's/ astral projections I have had, after feeling the vibrations on many occasions and finally letting myself go... it felt as if I finally left my body the last couple of times. Where as for about the last 10 yrs have only felt vibrations, sleep paralysis  and felt to scared to go any further and learned how to stop it. 

One experience I had recently was a very forceful exit from my body ..I have also had about 2 other experiences and look forward to sharing them soon.

thanks all
Sara
