hi all. :)

Hi all my names Jason and I thought id introduce myself. I'm a 36yo male from Australia that recently survived a pretty bad car accident. I ended up with a fractured spine l1-l2. I had a stay in hospital for about a week. So I have to ware a full body brace to support my back.
The first day after getting out of hospital I stayed at my girlfriends house and went to bed as usual.
I remember lying there falling asleep as usual when all of a sudden I heard a loud buzzing sound inside my head and I began to feel real jittery I tryed to shrug it off when all of a sudden I felt a pull from the end of the bed I literally excrement myself lol and woke up.
My girlfriend said I was making moaning sounds for a second before I awoke. I fell asleep afterwards as normal.
This recurred several nights in a row fighting it and waking up as soon as id feel myself getting pulled of the bed. We had put it down to a reoccurring nightmare.
The next time it happened I was consciously aware as id already experienced it several times so I decided to not be afraid and juz go with it,so I was lying there my head started to buzz and the bed started to vibrate I felt a pull next thing I know I'm at the end of the bed on the floor it was so weird I got up and looked around when I noticed two bodys in the bed one of them was mine I thought at the time I must be dreaming!!
I also noticed that everything was glittering like it was covered in glitter. So I decided to keep going with it so I remember floating down the passage way to the front door I still thought this must be a dream but it was so vivid. Ive had dreams when I could fly before so I thought id go out side. I went straight through the front door and looked up at a starry sky then before I knew it I was back on the bed and my girlfriend was rollng over which I'm guessing disturbed me.
I wanted to know what was going on so I started researching  the symptoms I was experiencing and astral/obe's kept coming up.
After researching a bit more ive tryed the techniques and ive had another two travels since in the last fortnight which ill describe in another post as my phone batt is about to die. Any info on my story from an more experienced traveler would be appreciated as I'm only new to this. Thanks..

Hi Jason

I'm definitely not an expert but what you describe certainly seems to be the classic vibrational state that precedes an AP (astral projection). I highly recommend you read Don J. DeGracia's book on Astral Projection which is available free online as a PDF document, just google it, in order to educate yourself more completely on the topic. Glad to hear that you'll be all right eventually, spinal injuries are usually the worst and most dangerous injuries a person can suffer.

Hang in there!!!

Welcome Jason!     Your story is very much the typical way OBEs happen.  The fact that you felt a pull is a little more rare although it certainly does happen.  Often the pull happens after a person actually asks to be helped out of body.  Some people have spontaneous OBEs like you do and many more have to work long and hard to obtain them and would love to be in your shoes!

Are you by chance sleeping on your back because of your back brace?  I just ask because OBEs tend to happen more readily when one sleeps on their back.

Thanks for the reply. No I usaly sleep on my side with a pillow between my knees and every time its happened ive been in the same position.
Its happened 3 times now the second time was the same as the first feeling a pull and sliding straight to the floor to the end of the bed but I didn't leave the house I floated down the hallway again and just tried to take more attention to detail it was weird because the furniture looked different in different positions and there was an old tv in the corner I found my self back in my body awake think from a noise outside ive noticed only slight disturbances seem to bring me back even if I'm not ready cause at the time I've really been enjoying the experience.

The last one was though was the longest I was at my place and it happened differently It was a cold night and I decided to set the mattress up in the lounge in front of the tv and the fire. I decided to try to do it myself on purpose this time.
So I put some Oliver shanti music on quietly and got myself comfortable on my right side with a pillow between my legs l lyed there for ages I could feel my body starting to go to sleep but think mabey I wasn't focusing properly then the cd ended all I could hear was the clock ticking and the occasional crack from the fire that's when it happened I felt the buzzing and before I new it I was which felt like on my knees at the end of the mattress I didn't feel a pull it was like I was lying down one second and on my knees the next?

I was trying to look around but it was hard to focus everything was a grayish/blue color it felt like I was trying to look through closed eye lids so I started to try to open my eyes properly then bang just like that my eyes must have come open cause everything came into colour and focus.

I remember wanting to fly to my girlfriends place I can remember getting stuck at the back door then getting out side this is where it got fun.
I can remember looking up and flying straight up very fast a couple of hundred feet looking down at the roof of my house it was dark but I could see the outline of it. I live just out of a small country town and my girlfriend lives about 7 miles out the other side. I can remember looking across in that direction seeing the street lights in the distance so I thought here we go and flew to town next thing I new I was stuck on the roof of the post office I can remember looking at one of the old chimneys as its an old building I saw what appeared to be bats flying around them.
Next thing I know  I felt a very hard pull from the roof towards a building on the other side of the street I braced myself thinking I was going to hit it but went straight through it I can remember seeing the rooms as I went through I ended up in the back yard then in a flash back in my lounge room. It was weird then because I was looking at my tv stereo etc and it all looked sideways like I felt I was the right way up and it was all on its side then I came to and opened my eyes everything was as normal except I felt hot but wasn't clammy or anything it was like an energy flowing through me it felt strange and my teeth felt a bit jittery.
Ive tryed again since to no avail but I'm hoping I can again because its an experience ill never forget so ill keep researching and see what happens.

Sounds like you're doing great!  It also sounds like you have an invisible helper or two that have decided that it is 'your time.'

Misplaced furniture is very typical. 

Sometimes after you have a few, in your excitement to have more you may try to 'force it' which never works.  Make sure to stay calm and allow whatever is going to happen to happen.  It doesn't always happen when you want it to, but with practice, patience and faith in the process that has begun, you will be having many more.
