Was I looking at a way out of body?

[semisentient]

Last night as I was falling asleep, I was feeling very relaxed.

I started to notice that there was a tunnel in front of my face. A narrow tunnel that seemed to become more narrow towards the opposite end... it was almost like the tunnel was a proboscis (like a butterfly has), except I was looking through it.

The tunnel was dark and had purple-ish colors moving within it.

I felt as if was being gently pulled towards the tunnel, and being encouraged to go through.

But I felt like I was being pulled nose first... and I did not want to go nose first.

I imagined having to through this narrow passageway nose first and then having my eyes pulled back behind me.

I didn't think this would hurt... but it wasn't very appealing to me.

I wanted to go eyes or forehead first.

I remember resisting a little, maybe complaining, but I felt like I was being told to just do it...  I tried to go the way that I wanted to go, eyes first, but I couldn't change the arrangement...

I must have fallen asleep after that.

Has anyone had a tunnel experience to get out?  I didn't think the tunnel was very long... It just seemed to represent making that leap...

And has anyone ever felt something pulling them to get them out??

Yes and yes.  I've had a few tunnel experiences and I've been pulled out of my body.  I enjoyed #1, not so much the second one.  And yes, my tunnel experiences were 'with guide', but not forced.  My tunnels so far are colorful- like a whirpool of colored lights- noisy and whooshy until I get in.  Then there is a phase-shift and I can see various scenarios, and I was guided to one of them.  Other times on the end of the tunnel there were 'gateways' to fantastic places.  And there were always guides on these, in my experience.

Hmm... I wonder if thats typical then... tunnels and guides together?

I wish I had gone. Or maybe I did and I can't recall?

Where do these guides come from and how do they find us?

Thanks for telling me about your experiences!
