My First OBE...when I was 11.

[JayPossam]

Hello everyone, I just registered here, although I've been reading through the forums for several weeks now. I just thought about sharing my first and only Out of Body Experience with you all and to introduce myself. First, I'd like to say that I'm impressed by how supportive and understanding a lot of people are on this website and thats not something you see very often.    I hope to contribute to this positive environment as well with my own insight and stories as well. I'd like to think that I know quite a bit (Booksmarts/research) mostly, but I have a keen gift for finding useful information and putting all the puzzle peices together with many different things. I hope some of you can help me on my INexperienced side of the equation...

I guess onto the story of my first OBE when I was 11. Well, I'd like to start out that ever since I was about 6-8 months old I've had HORRIFYING nightmares and my mother used to tell me she would find me crouched in the corner of my bedroom as a toddler screaming and terrified, POINTING at spirts/demons/entities/etc whatever you wish to call them...I prefer, interdimensional beings. Anyway, many times she had to throw cold water on me or poke me to wake up, for I was also a sleepwalker...and I sleepwalked with my eyes OPEN most times. 

Well, when I was around 9 or 10 I got into spirituality and all this stuff about spiritguides and other dimensions, etc. I guess it really got to me, because I would always have this re-occurring nightmare all throughout my life and it was inside a giant warehouse type place and there was a floating Orb-type thing that looked like a shapeshifting hand made of transparent clay or sand. it would get fat and then really skinny and would put me into a trance. I feel frightened by this point. then I get jolted into another huge room with grass and a poisoned river where I fall into it and its only about 8 inches deep, but then I hear screeching/growling noises and I think they are aliens. then I am lifted and I blackout for a second, and I'm glued to a conveyor-belt and there are stompers and slicers trying to cut me, but they never actually touch me, just to scare me. Then I come around the corner to the left and enter a small room with a dropoff cliff of blackness to my right and to my left is a small, probably 12 foot by 7 foot white house with a white picket fence and a single, beautiful tree in its grassy front yard. I feel as if things are looking up, only to realise I'm STILL on the conveyor and I get moved into this dark vertical tube, it stops, I look up and I see a glowing ring. then I hear the scratching of metal as I notice that I'm about to be SMASHED into a pancake by this tube thing coming down on me. It flys down and BAM! I feel a thump on my chest, and I'm back in the same room, facing the cliff side of the room witht eh small house behind me.    I then notice when I look in front of me across the 12 foot pitch-black gap to the slightly illuminated wall where there are 3 giant tubes. They look like metalic, ribbed, rusted Air-tubes for ventillation or something. Then I get sucked INTO the middle one, FLYING at what seems to be LIGHTSPEED!!  its terrifying, but then after a the shock goes away its sorta fun.....UNTIL. I see the tube getting smaller and tighter, until I realise my fate, I'm going to be ripped apart going this fast and be turned to jelly when this hole gets too small. 

THAT, is the dream/nightmare I had that night right BEFORE I had my OBE...

When I woke up, I was sitting indianstyle(crosslegged) in my bed. The room was spinning and jumping up and down and what I noticed was my alarm clock was bouching around making this really annoying screeching sound!!! I started hitting and punching it. haha I didnt know what else to do. I didnt know I was having an OBE, I didnt even know what an OBE was! So i freaked out, ditched my alarmclock after apparently it fell off my desk from bouncing around so much and me hitting it. when i jumped down onto the floor....or LACK, thereof. the floor was blackish gray and it looked cloudy and almost like walking on a giant waterbed while drunk. lol I didnt care to look back on my bed, because like I said I didnt know ANYTHING about OBE's at all, so I just thought I was having a stroke or something. lol

Well, after falling over a few times from lack of balence and not seeing where I was walking, I got to my bedroom door. it felt like it took 30 minutes to get that 10 feet across my small bedroom..ugh.  I went to reach for the doorknob and to my surprise, my whole hand went THROUGH the door!!  I was like OMG...then I tried another 2 times, but didnt work. I then paniced and suddenly I thought of doing what any kid would in a crisis...HIDE UNDER THE COVERS!!! haha....immediatelly it was like a rope was tied around my waist and it a milisecond I fly backward across the room and slammed onto my bed laying on my side and then blackness...

I woke up the next morning, with THIS memory I just told you and a bad headache. lol also, my alarmclock had NEVER moved an inch.

What are all your thoughts?


Thanks for reading, and sorry if it was a lot of reading, but I felt I had to explain it in detail for you all to get a good picture in your head of the experience.

No Replies....? i know that that my post has been viewed at least 30 times folks. Doesnt anyone have comments or anything similar happen to them? 

Where was this "warehouse" looking place I was at? what did the conveyorbelt I was 'glued' to have to do with OBE's? what was that scary roaring/screeching type sound I heard in the room with the poisoned river? and I assume the tunnel I went through at the end was the actual "seperating" from my body?

Come on folks, there are plenty of questions for some of you to comment on...

I'll bite. :]

Scary experiences are usually referred to as dwellers on the threshold. It's a terrifying scenario some people face before the OBE. Whether you had such an experience, I don't know. The craziness of your experience isn't unusual, though in my case I have such experiences during lucid dreams.

Congratulations on your WTF moment : p

Regarding physical positions, I've had one or two experiences wherein my physical body crosses its legs (not in a lotus fashion, which for clarification we shall say is horizontal) but vertically, straight down the bed with my arms folded over one another. This doesn't relate directly to your experience however as for me this is a physical occurrence.

The roaring/screeching sound could have been anything. I used to experience it a lot at first, the screeching happened a few times at the end of an OBE. Some people experience a roaring just before it begins. Had you been fully lucid, I suspect that you would have experienced the dramatic earth-shaking vibrations some of us will have felt at one point or another.

Thanks Zante...I'm glad at least someone replied to my post. I just got back from a vaction, that is why I havent been on here to reply back until now.

anyways, yeah Ive read about the weird noises people hear before/after leaving. I've guessing thats what it was....weird thing is, I've rarely experienced sleep paralysis, and only had vibrations once....my seperation experiences now, when I attempt, have the sudden falling/jolting sensation and I wake up.....all I need to do is let go. but lately my attempts havent even gotten me to jolt awake anymore. I just sort of try to relax and then my hands and feet get cold and tingle a little bit for a while....then I get tired after like an hour of trying and just sleep from exhaustion....

well thanks again.
