Induced OBE Opinions

[ka0s]

I induced an OBE this morning, as I can usually do by laying on my back after waking up several times. This morning however was a bit peculiar. I had no problems separating from my physical body this morning to wander my house. The house was set up differently this time however. For example, our living room was in our current bedroom and our kitchen was in our living room. The walls were painted different colors so I am assuming my experience had many dream elements. Everything was in vivid colors and it felt like our house was at an "older" time. There was no TV's etc and the lamps were completely different.

The really odd thing, which i'd like some opinions on, is that when I awoke I was breathing pretty heavily. I (believe) a hypnogogic hallucination occurred because when I was  breathing out I could see these small black particles exiting my physical body and going towards my ceiling. Eventually it stopped, but they dispersed towards my ceiling each time i would exhale. I've had strange things happen when I had problems awaking from my OBE but nothing like this. I would also like to note that I stayed out-of-body a lot longer than I usually do. It reminded me of the movie "Green Mile" where the one guy sucks the sins/injuries out of people and it appears like black dots.

Does anyone have any opinions on this? I am only reporting what I had experienced and am hoping I can get some open minded opinions without thinking I am crazy. Thank you.

Hi ka0s,

I've never experienced black particles before, but I can relate another strange experience.  The good thing about this experience is that I had it before I ever read anything about it.  A month ago or so, I had an OBE after my usual vibrations after a lucid dream.  While experiencing the vibes, I saw what looked like heirogliphics scrolling in front of my line of vision, like the frames of film at the end of an old movie.  I thought it was quite strange and recorded it in my journal that morning, but then thought no more about it.  A week or so ago I read a post on the AstralDynamics forum by Tempestinateapot where she said:

With hypnagogia, I often get what looks like parchment scrolls with hieroglyphics moving across my vision. I once asked Robert what this was, and he says he also gets it, but has no idea what it means.

You might try searching on the forums to see if you hear of anything similar.

Cheers,
Atraveler

I have had hieroglyphics appear on my astral "cord" before. They appeared in patterns of two letters/symbols together and looked awfully strange. Thats about all i can relate to what you said. Thanks for the tip though.
