Last night before falling asleep I did about twenty minutes of meditation (which I try to do every night.) This helps a great deal in the quality and quantity of my vivid dreams, and increases my chances of spontaneous OBE. This morning I awoke around 5 am and decided to further meditate. After a good ten minutes and feeling my chakras well stimulated, I let myself fall asleep.
I entered a vivid dream where I saw two huge rafts (with a ton of people in each) on a rocky, almost moutainous seacoast battling gigantic waves. They almost looked like they were white water rafting but in a much more extreme form. I saw this from the vantage point of a helicopter looking down on it. It was almost like one of those "most dangerous moments caught on tape" type of shows. The "storyline" was that they were in a fatal situation and the waves were going to send them plunging to their watery deaths. I thought to myself something to the effect of, "I'm glad I'm not in their predicament." All of a sudden the weather calmed and a strong wind lifted the rafts in the air and floated them further out into the ocean where the people were safe from the damaging waves. I felt the "floating" sensation firsthand.
Suddenly I'm back in my body, on my stomach, and the vibrations begin. I'm able to focus enough to intensify the vibrations... suddenly I feel one leg float upward, and then the other. (This in itself is a huge revelation for me because I never believed you could enter a projection by "peeling" your astral body away from your physical. Prior to this I had always entered projection without feeling any specific body part pull away. It was my general awareness which had always left. I fluffed off beginners who used phrases like "My head was stuck" as having a faulty, "literal" perception of leaving one's body. Now I know I was wrong.) With me on my stomach and both astral legs floating in the air I did what you'd call a "push up" which successfully separated me from the physical.
Next thing I know I'm in a vast field dotted with trees surrounded by a thick forrest. It's a sunny day. I will myself forward a good twenty feet and notice a cemetary in the distance to my left. It sits on a piece of the field which is tucked in the forrest a bit. At this point I have a strong feeling that I've been here before, but in waking reality it's unfamiliar. In front of me I see a gravestone. I want to read what it says, so I get closer. In front of the gravestone are small purple flowers which I brush to the side to get a better view of the writing. The writing itself is aqua in color. I read the words but am unable to make sense of them, or at least translate them into thoughtforms I could later remember. I do remember vividly reading the year "2008." I brushed the purple flowers to the side several times, possibly to improve my view. Each time I did this the lettering would change, and at one point disappeared altogether. The OBE ended around here.
Another word that may have appeared on the gravestone is the word "contaminated." I say this because following the OBE I had a false awakening where I was explaining to someone what had just happened in my OBE. I told him I saw the aforementioned word, and he explained what it meant. I don't even have a single visual of this false awakening but I remember those few details. I'm not sure I can trust recollection in false awakenings following OBEs, which is why I can't be sure if this part was accurate.
Was this some sort of afterlife realm? I didn't see any people or animals but the setting had a peaceful vibe to it. Thoughts are appreciated, thanks.
That's a very interesting experience Astral316 - good details. I don't know what to make of it, but thanks for sharing!

It could well have been. Perhaps a Belief System Territory (BST) that you visited in a previous unremembered OBE. Or else it was a physical/Real Time Zone (RTZ) location that you had also visited in an unremembered OBE.
Sometimes it is nearly impossible to know where you are when OOB unless you can talk to a discarnate and have him/her tell you where you are (??!) :?
