My first proper OBE

[Petal]

I just thought I would post my first real OBE.  I call this my first because I had realised that I was out of body before but panicked and went straight back to my body.

I had gone to sleep as usual and was then half waking up.  I half opened my eyes and looked round the room.  I then closed my eyes again and tried to go back to sleep, but then it suddenly hit me!  I wasn't in my bedroom now, I was in my bedroom that I grew up in when I was a teenager.

I tried not to panic and told myself that I should open my eyes slowly and if I was still in the bedroom then I was out of body.  I opened my eyes and I was still there.  I tried not to get too excited and thought that I should get out of bed, and as soon as I thought that I was stood beside my bed.  I wanted to fly but didn't quite know how and I started kind of hovering above the ground.  I found that if I kicked my legs I could move about the room hovering over the floor and could go higher if I kicked faster.  Kind of like swimming in the air.  I noticed the bedroom door open and went out on to the landing.  My cat was sat on the floor and looked at me in that kind of un-interested way that cats do, lol.

I heard a noise coming from the bedroom and hovered my way back in there, I realised that the noise was coming from outside the window.  I went over to the window and looked out and there were some people walking along the road (it was dark outside).  I wondered who they were and felt a flicker of fear.  And that flicker of fear was all it took to send me back to my body!  I heard a rush that sounded like a thundering waterfall and then I was opening my eyes back in bed in my regular bedroom.  The noise in my ears faded.

I felt so excited that I had managed it, I still haven't managed to consciously get out of body.  The one other timeit happened I sort of woke up out of body too.

Anyway, I just thought I would share that one with you all.

Hi Petal

Lovely experience - very typical of an OBE.

Cats are great, aren't they?!!

I've heard lots of reports that animals can be aware of your presence while OBE and often act just like your physical.

Often I find myself hovering just outside the old house where I grew up - it's about 1,000 miles away from where I live now. Generally I float inside the house, through all the familiar rooms, then float back outside the house, float up higher, and look over the old neighborhood. It is usually after dark during these experiences, and often the area is deserted - but not always. Sometimes there are people, dogs etc. moving around. Interesting.

Yeah, that's exactly what it sounds like, a rushing waterfall.  Anyway, brilliant story!
