childhood experiences

[Jeff_Mash]

From my experience, people often experience OBE related phenomenon when they are sick or not feeling well, mainly because their mind is somewhat disassociating itself from the sick physical body.  

Also, when you are sick, it's usually harder to sleep.  Your body is usually relaxed but your mind is all over the place, which is miserable!  This usually increases the chances of your mind becoming aware while your body is asleep, and therefore, increasing the chance of having either an OBE or perhaps sleep paralysis.

As a child I had regular experiences/perceptions as I was going to sleep and more intense ones when I had a fever. These are identical to what I experience now when I go into a deep trance, noises amplify themselves in my head until they become almost excruciating. And perceptions of space distort eg. my body seems to be shrinking exponentially while my surroundings become rapidly larger. This scared the shite out of me when I was a kid and they are still by no means pleasant.
Is this normal? or am I doing something wrong?
