My first two out of body experiences.

[KilltheInfected]

Hello everybody, this is my first post so I thought I'd open up with two of my own personal experiences.  Feel free to share your thoughts, or suggestions on this and please by all means share your experiences, as well!

    My first O.B.E. finally happened on a night where everything seemed perfect for the occasion.  I had recently programmed my body to wake up after 4 or so hours, this night I had woken up and I just felt it in the atmosphere that this was going to happen.  I laid back down, my mind saturated with this idea.  It was nearly an hour before I felt my body pulling in a strange way, rapidly moving.  Suddenly I was standing in front of my door, however I never opened my eyes and I didn't get up and walk there so I knew this was a not everyday waking life.  My first thoughts were of my eyes, I blinked a few times...  Black... I was confused about whether using these eyes would wake me, because they were certainly not my physical eyes.  Once I was comfortable seeing my bedroom with these new eyes, I had the idea to flood the room with water to confirm my suspicions because at this point there was no difference between my real life room and this room.  
    The room turned blue, bubbles appeared, pressure became extreme.  Water was everywhere and as I did this I vibrated brilliantly inside, the same way I do after intense breathing and meditation.  I love this feeling.  With a thought the water was gone, I wanted to learn how to levitate.  So I bobbled up uncontrollably, and lowered down, almost too far into the ground... Up, up, up I thought.... Eventually I learned to control this levitation decently enough to decide to go out into the living room.  Well before I went out the door, I was almost paralyzed with fear.  At the time, everything seemed so real, and I had not gone unconscious prior to entering this experience I thought that if the other occupants saw me flying they would freak out and not know what to think of it... Trust me, if you were flying, you'd understand my thought process at the time.  After understanding that if I could fly they probably couldn't see me, I flew straight through the door.  I was met with a little resistance, but nothing too bad.  I floated down the hall way into my room mates bedroom where he laid sleeping on the couch.  He spouted in his sleep, "Hey dude I think I lost your car, sorry bro".   At this point, I was just hovering around up and down, left and right looking at things and I guess I became too inactive so I found myself in pitch blackness... I had "woken up".

   My second O.B.E. was similar to the first, although my "exit" came much quicker and easier.  I laid on my stomach this time, tried to keep my mind quiet, and relaxed as much as possible.  I found this sweet spot of mental resting that found me rapidly moving towards sleep.  When I felt enough activity, that my whole body felt like it could slip away, I just pulled my body backwards with the same mind thought actions I use to levitate with...  It's a little hard to explain.  I found myself, once my vision showed up, outside my room in the hallway.  It was my plan to fly up through the apartment and out into the sky to explore.  So I levitated up to the ceiling, I put my hand on it, and tried to push through...  It was tough to get through at first but seemed once one part was through I could get my body through decently well.  My head went through and I saw the space between my ceiling and the neighbors floor upstairs... All painted white, series of two by fours or they seemed white, it was dark.  I got my head up through the floor and was looking into the apartment above mine.  I saw an older man sitting at a computer desk with an old lady leaning over his shoulder.  I kind of got stuck at that point because I stayed in between the floor and ceiling for too long.  At that time again I didn't want anybody to see me so I popped up slowly and ninja like as to not be detected.  Irrational, I know.  Anyways that about ended that experience as I guess I was too inactive.  But those are my first two, and my third... well... wasn't so pleasant.  I met a shadowy thing that grabbed me with force and was pulling me toward it... the only escape was to wake up.  Kind of my fault though.

Please share your thoughts and experiences!!

Greetings KilltheInfected
Your first OBE was similar to my first OBE in many ways. Those thought processes when out of body (OOB) for the first time Are very peculiar indeed and are hard to describe in words! It is as if one part of you Must accept the experience as real because it is happening at that time and you Must trust your own senses. Yet nothing you can read about or hear about truly prepares you for the completely foreign sensations of being OOB for the first time.
I think that you handled that first OBE quite well btw. You remained calm and that was important because extreme emotions, especially fear, usually prematurely end an OBE.
Also, levitation indoors and flight outdoors are actually two very different experiences. Levitation indoors is interesting and pleasurable. Flying outdoors is Much better and can be truly amazing. So I recommend trying to get outside and test your flight skills next time OOB and see what I mean.

Lordy well done you. I used to have a condition called TLE temporal lobe epilepsy that came with free gifts Dejavu's out of bodie experiences and some very odd hallucinations. Now this is also known as the psychic llness It was always triggered by a guitar riff so my favourite Led Zep songs were totally out of bounds.. can you imagine the high street with  songs blaring out? totallly awful for me. Well I had an op at a major london hospital turns aout I had scarring on the right side of the brain. No offence but I do not envy anyone an OBE had too many unwanted and intrusive ones.
