I have not experienced exactly what you are talking about, of 'something' flapping on my face, but on rare occasion  I do get painful sensations, particularly in the face, while laying down.

If it is overwhelming enough, like you say, I shift my focus on gathering Reiki energy in my hands, and Reiki the affected area with my hands.  This has always taken the sensation away in a few seconds.

Remaining calm is the hardest part, which it sounds like you do very well!

Hi Kiauma,
Thanks for your reply, I'm not really familiar with Reiki but it is something that I will look into further after reading your reply.

Thanks again

One time I was spontaneously projecting in the morning after I had woke up to get a drink of water and went back to sleep, I missed the cues because I was trying to sleep, infact on my side.  I then felt and heard something like rodents on my bed skittering around behind me, and at the same time felt vibrations and spinning.  

I remember saying "no dude, i'm trying to sleep."  It took some effort to pull back and go to sleep but then I finally woke up, shifted myself then went to sleep.

Now that I think of it I let my gerbils crawl on my bed sometimes to get them out of the cage.  Maybe they were asleep and thats what they were doing in thier dreams.

I only post this just to add my experience of feeling something there, even though it's not quite the same.

Hi to everyone,
It's my first time on this forum and I would just like to share some strange experiences regarding what I think might be oobe's, I would much appreciate any feedback from anyone who has had similar experiences or who might know what these experiences might be.

I would just start by saying that I have always been interested in the paranormal, and have had one or two psychic experiences as a child, but it is only recently that I have been reading more books about oobe's and astral projection etc.

About one month ago I was woken early in the morning by a loud cracking noise, something similar to electrical static but really quite loud, I wondered what it was but being only half awake I dropped back off to sleep.

About  three weeks later I was awoken by the same noise only this time it was accompanied by a bright flash of white light, I also had the strangest feeling of what I can only describe as something being pushed against and into my face, that something felt warm and had the texture of what I would imagine a jellyfish has.

Looking back at the second experience I cannot recall which order the event's happened in, but I'm absolutely certain that this was no dream.

This morning I awoke at about six O'clock and I consciously desired to attempt something akin to an obe.

As I drifted back to a deep relaxation and after how much time I can't be certain, I suddenly became aware that there was something walking, crawling or flapping over my face, although I didn't have any fear it was quite startling and I thought  that my cat had gotten into the bedroom and was walking on my head (as this was what the experience felt like).

As soon as I mentally realised that I had locked the bedroom door and he wasn't in there with me I snapped out of it.
I had felt like that I had left my body ever so slightly and on return to my body I found that I couldn't move, I remained fearless and this paralysed sensation disappeared soon after.

I tried to go back into the state again but by this time I was becoming more alert and my mind was starting to fill up with the usual day to day things.

I shall continue trying to fully leave my body more often as I feel that I am getting quite close to achieving it, but as I said I would be very interested to see what others have to say regarding my above experiences.

Many thanks and excuse the length of my post!
