Poll: How Often do you have OBEs?

[inky_1]

Hi everyone, I'm new

I'd love to ask some questions!

1.) How often do you have OBEs?

2.) Do OBEs happen for you randomly, or do you put some form of effort into achieving them?

3.) Can you describe the typical experience you have when you have an OBE?

I'll answer my own poll Just really would love to learn more about others!

1.) How often do you have OBEs?

I have OBEs about twice a month. I have had them this frequently for most of my life. I also have sleep paralysis episodes sometimes. It's kind of hit or miss which I'll be having.

2.) Do OBEs happen for you randomly, or do you put some form of effort into achieving them?

They happen to me randomly, though some medications do make them happen more often. I never knew anyone else had them until recently, actually. I didn't even really know what they were until this year.

3.) Can you describe the typical experience you have when you have an OBE?

I get a very strong vibrating feeling, and then I feel myself drifting up from my body. I generally feel anxiety about it; I have a very strong feeling of needing to maintain a spiritual connection with my body. As if I won't be able to get back into my body if I drift too far away.

I've had lots of different experiences before realizing what was going on recently. Growing up, OBEs and sleep paralysis were all very upsetting to me. I tend to have extremely graphic hallucination/dreams during sleep paralysis. However, as I've learned more about what is going on, it's become more of an exciting experience. I'm able to identify that I've "left my body," and so I don't feel so much anxiety about the vibrations and feelings.

I still have a lot of trouble controlling "where I go" so to speak. I can control it a lot more now than I used to, but it's still difficult. I have, though, been able to have a sort of half OBE/half sleep paralysis experience while others were in the room...and they were able to confirm that what I saw during that experience was, in fact, what was actually happening in the room at the time. So, that was interesting!

Hello Inky_1... welcome to Astral Pulse.

1) not so much recently because I have just entered the grownups-only side of the swimming pool. They used to average 3 - 4 a week... for about 20+ years. A lot. lol

2) Both... Because I was so familiar with it, it would happen spontaneously... while I was passenger in a car or while watching TV etc.

3) There isn't a typical 'event'... no two OOBEs are the same, unless one visits another constrained reality more than once. They used to start in my bedroom when I was into RTZ projections... but more commonly I 'enter' the experience wherever my nonphysical-self is at the time. When I say 'is at' I don't mean an actual location in the sense that physical reality has a location.
