Sensing physical reality while out of body

[BoscosFriend]

Hello I dont have much experience with obe's, but I have had two spontaneously. In both occasions I was able to hear everything in my physical surroundings. One of the times was at my friends house. I had dozed off on his couch and had an obe. It was like I just stood up and started floating away, but I way completely aware. I could still here everything, eventually I heard my friend trying to talk to me. I couldn't answer him, because I couldn't move my body it was really hard it was like I had to get back in before I could get up and talk. Anyway the whole point of this is that I'm wondering was I hearing with my actual ears? If not then it seems it would be possible to listen ti things far away without physically being there or using the other sensing like maybe see things without actually being there.

You leave a part of yourself in your body when you 'leave' it. I believe you were hearing with your physical ears. It probably is possible to hear things at a distance though.
Even more confusing is when you can see from both astral and physical bodies at once...
