OOB from LD duringmy Gateway

[oilfieldpilot]

I enjoyed Knightlight's experience! thanks for sharing it!

This actually reminded me of a funny experience I just had too. Although this did happen while attending Gateway, it was NOT during any session.
On the 3rd day, I skipped lunch and went for a refreshing run in the mountains. We are given a looong break after lunch, so I showered and felt a catnap was in order.  I closed myself up in my CHEC unit and decided to try relaxing and climb the ROPE. This was only causing me to work, and not relax, so I said the heck with it and curled up on my side to doze off (and try to stay conscious that way; and see if I don't click out).

Just prior, I had the fleeting thought of "OK, if I DO have an OOB here in my CHEC unit, How the heck will I get out?"  I thought this because during all my latest ap/oob's at home or at work, when I would 'test' if I could walk thru walls, door frames, I couldn't...I'd just clunk into them, but it didn't hurt (although some collisions should have!)
Anyway, off to snooze I drifted.

Within and instant, I was in an LD. I was back at my university lab (geologist) and typing on the computer...ok BORING! I told myself. Just then I noticed "Hey, it is Realllllly Dark in here!"  I didn't turn my head just yet to confirm this, but the thought "...Now I don't Do RED EYES and SHARP TEETH!" flew into my head. Then I did turn away from the computer and yes indeed...that darkness was a deeeeeeep scary Pitch black!  
Just then, I literally Scared myself out of my body!    My astral self flew out of my head and shoulders so fast just like a fight or flight response!
Then I was just floating around my Chec unit. I was now laughing so hard, I just drifted back into the physical...

OK, This was NOT my big Gateway experience; I didn't pay big bucks (well worth while) to have a childhood fear from scary movies force my OOB!  But I wanted to share it anyway...it was funny!
I felt so stupid afterwards

Hehe, well in the astral thought = action so if you THINK about things like that, they will happen. as for you not being able to get out of your sleeping bag...you would have done it anyway when you started a dream!(Remember, you arent actually leaving your body, just changing your focus to the astral)

GL!
