Greetings all. I have a few questions if you would indulge me please.
You see ever since I was around 6 years old, I've been having a very strange experience/sensation while I sleep on a regular basis. Usually when I'm in my 3rd-5th hour of sleep, I will get a very intense ringing in my ears, and my body is overcome with a kind of tingling feeling. Then I get a feeling as though my body is raising very fast, or like I'm being "sucked" out of my body. Next I see, or possibly imagine a kind of bright light eminating from behind something very dark, almost the same effect as a solar eclipse in a photograph, only it's very real to me. During one of these recent experiences, I think I actually saw myself raising out of my body.
All that seems to happen fairly fast, and I struggle to wake up, but I can't move. Finally after struggling and trying to call for help, I will wake up abruptly. Sometimes I will drift right back to sleep and the whole experience will start again, but most of the time I will stay up the remainder of the night and next day to avoid it.
This has been going on at least four time a week, for the last 23 years that I can remember, since I was 6 years old. It's a very horrorifying thing to me, and I end up loosing a lot of sleep over it. Sometimes I'll stay up for days on end to avoid it.
My question is: Is this the beginning on an OBE that I'm experiencing? And if so, how can I make it stop?
Any help or advice you all could offer would be great. I'll check back for answers, or please email me with any other questions or comments at Slikster@telocity.com
Thank you.
