what am I experiencing?

[mieka]

hi

my first lanuage not english - so I hope what I write here will make sense

My grandmother passed away 12 years ago, and the night before she died was the first time I experienced terrible humming buzzing sound all through the night and I was hanging on the ceiling watching myself slept in my bed. I thought at that stage i was just having nightmares, and very bad dreasms. The next morning at about 5am, the hospital contaced me to tell me she passed away during the night. So my first question is - was that an OBE and then is there any relevance to her passing away, and me having an OBE or was it coincedence?

After that night it happend more frequently. I'd say sometimes weekly and then for months nothing, and then again sometimes 2 days in a row. I always thought it was just bad nightmares until I did some research and found out about OBE's.

Now my next question:

Lately what happens about every second week, sometimes more, that just when I'm almost asleep, I hear the humming and buzzing sound which can get annoying, but I also feel like i am getting sucked out of my body to a very dark place. Although the dark place "feels" like it could be - to the stars, and being dark because its night. I normally think wow here I'm going again. But it is if I have no control over it, or my body or astrall body. I have never experience like you guys, that I can climb out of my body. It is ALWAYS as if somethng like a massive vacuum cleaner sucks me out of my body towards the stars. I try to control it in my mind and will keep on telling myself that I want to go certain places, but then normally it is as if I return to my body in bed.

Just for more information - I cannot recall that I see my body on my bed when this happens. It feels like my eyes could be closed. I was just wondering about the sucking - and I must say it is with quite a speed.

I sometimes also experience spinning  through my house and through walls. But I never have control over this. The spinning is quite scary - and I normally try to wake myself up.

Please explain to me what this all means

Some of my early experiences OOB were like that.  It really was not my idea to do this from the beginning.  I had rather insistent "help'" from something or someone "out" there.  A few of these were as you describe- like I was taken without my will , usually out in what I thought of as space.  Usually in these, I felt strongly that I was not alone.  But, by this time in my experiences, I trusted myself, or other beings I may encounter- that nothing bad would happen to me, however it felt at the time.  I rode the experience out. They were quite interesting at the time. 

But, thinking back- my experiences and how I started having them is not the same as some who post here.  I did not choose to do this.  It chose me.  I fought it at first, and only gradually accepted that I had no choice but to learn to live with it happening.   

My story of how I did this is in my blog if you care to look.  The experiences in 'deep space' are there too.

The first time that I projected or at least that I can remember, I must have only been about 5 or 6 years old. I would wake up to a very high pitched almost deafening noise and I would be floating near the ceiling, I used to panic and then used to snap back into my physical body. I also used to think that it was a nightmare, but it kept happening. The other wierd thing is that I used to know before I went to sleep when it was going to happen. On the nights that it was going to happen, I used to (not intentionally) go into some kind of mind state where everything in the room felt relaxing and... perfect, it's really hard to explain. It wasnt connected with anyone dying in my family, I just started happening along with a load of other wierd things.

The majority of the time, I get out of my body by just sitting up, but you can be helped out and taken to places by a spirit guide (most of the time you can't even see them) and this is probably what is happening to you. A lot of people have said that they get sucked through a tunnel like you say, but that has never happened to me so i can't really comment.

thanks very much for the replies. And yes it is exactly what it feels like - being sucked trhough a tunnel into space.

So I guess I just wanted to know - is this also OBE or is it something else I experienced. But now I know... and I must admit, when the sucking takes place, I can physically feel how I am being pulled from my body.

Amazing stuff this. All very new to me - i will sure have a look at your blog

Thanks

I have felt it a variety of ways.  SOmetimes, I am just floating and there I am out of body like I just floated out.  Other times, it felt as if I peeled myself out.  Other times, it felt like the body was holding my back in a sorta sticky rubber band like feeling like it was trying to pull me back in somehow.  Often, I wake up out and don't remember the exit.  A few times, maybe I had a lot of energy cuz I felt almost like I was ejected out or burst out of body, like no way could I stay in even if I wanted too.  I admit that was a bit disconcerting!  I wanted to be out but I guess I liked the feeling I usually have that it was my choice, not a sort of hurling of myself out of the body.   Nevertheless, I will take the hurling out over a boring night any time.  You might be able to rest in the knowledge that many are probably jealous of your ability to get out without even apparently trying! 

As for why you would starting having OBEs at the same time as a death in the family, I couldn't really tell you.  Maybe it marked a beginning of a new journey of learning for you, more of an interest in what happens beyond the physical or somesuch.  It's really hard to say.  Or maybe the changes in your mind and attitude about life opened up that possibility, unlocked something, or made you more ready to experience something different.  I think you will have to look inside yourself for such answers. 

As for darkness, I often see the out of body lands and dark and shadowy, maybe because I am not percieving with my real eyes or maybe because that is my predisposition to think of it that way.  When out of body, you will find that sublte assumptions or expectations will strongly affect how your perceive things.  But remember it is YOU that is in ultimate control, even if it doens't always feel like that every second.

thanks!

I also wanted to add, that like Nighlight said, I also know before the time when it is going to happen.... which made it more scary to me before i realised it was OBE's.

I remember telling other people, years ago, that I always know before the time when I am going to have a bad dream/nightmare, and nobody ever believed me or understand what I was getting at.

now things obviously makes more sense to me!

This is true for me also.  I know just before the vibrations start that OOBE may be possible. Ad I get that same weird sensation just before some of my most scary regular dreams.
