I had a dream I had an OBE, this was awhile ago.. At least, I think it was a dream. Here, I'll copy and paste from my journal.
OBE Dream #1.
I feel the exit sensations, and am automatically transported to a different room. I can't see anything, the room is pitch black. "Clarity now!" I yell. Doesn't work, so I yell it again, and again it doesn't work. I'm stumbling around, scared, frantically asking "Why can't I see? Why can't I see? what's happening to me? Why is all this happening to me?"(By 'all this' I meant the bad things that have happened to me in my life lately - many people have died and things just generally going in a negative direction) Suddenly, I hear a deep voice say, "Just open your eyes, and you will see.".. It seems like this voice is echoing in my head as it speaks. And surely enough, I open my eyes and the world is bright and beautiful. I'm in a small, cream coloured room, with a wood end table in the far right corner of the room. There is a vase full of flowers on it. There is a window on the right wall, overlooking a beautiful garden full of life and colours.Then I blank out.
I see this as a metaphor: The bad things that have happened, happened for a reason. It is right infront of me, I just need to see what it is.
Thoughts? :-)
I can't help telling the difference if it's an OBE or dream since I'm still confused with my own experiences, lol :lol: , but dreams like that one that leaves you a message I call them "lesson dreams" and I think there are plenty things to learn from them, in my experiences I've had a few where I could see my "dark" side, didn't see it like that before, but it helped me realize those things to avoid in future situations.
So far through my life experience I've learned that all the bad comes for good (if that makes sense), I don't regreat the bad stuff that has happened to me, neither my mistakes because I've learned good things from them, to me your experience sounds like a spark of hope/light, that there are good and beautiful things to look at despite the bad things.

That's a good thing to do, some people have alot of trouble realizing the good that comes from the bad.. But it makes every experience a learning one :-) Another good thing to know is how to keep sadness, sadness.. alot of times people turn sadness into anger, because they don't know how to deal with sadness. This is alot of the time a very hard thing to do..
And thanks for your response, it felt more like a learning dream than anything, so that's what I'll keep it. :lol:

That's true, it may be because they focus only in the bad so they aren't able to see the good, also the more you focus in the bad, the more of that you're going to get.

I agree, we do have to learn how to deal with sadness by just being aware of it, accept it to then let it go.
I like those dreams because is not only another fantasy one, but you could use them to stop some mistakes you're making or prevent future mistakes :-)
