Tube/Tunnel Experiences of Any Type...

[Cezyl]

Hello all...

Please describe in detail any OBE experiences you have had involving moving through a tube or tunnel. Especially of interest are those experiences you've had before you heard of tubes/tunnels being experienced while OBE. Still ALL experiences are requested and accepted. How did the experience start? How did you come about being in the tube? How did the tunnel look and feel? What was experienced while in the tube, and afterwards?

I'm really fascinated with this and thus I am doing some research on it. I intend to write a comprehensive article on it in the future, organizing and sharing all I learn on tubes/tunnels and OBE. EVERY ENTRY is important. EVERY DETAIL is important. When I get good enough at OBE I'll explore these things myself and report on it.

Take care...

Thank you for bringing this topic up.

This is perhaps my most memorable experience, so please allow a brief context.

I had studied lucid dreams for a while, until I had some very powerful and very disturbing experiences that appeared to take over my abilities to have lucid control. I was reading about dreams during all of my free time, and noticed people talking about "astral projection," which sounded like something I might've done. In order to solve the problems I was having, I attempted to "slow down" the process of becoming lucid so that I could better study what was going on. I also thought that if I slowed it down, I would have enough time to make first contact with my spirit guide. I had meditated on contacting him/her beforehand, and had the feeling that "she" was calling me, but that I had to make a certain step before I could meet her.

During "slow lucidity," dream characters would gradually become suspicious of me taking control over "their" world - which was preposterous. It was my dream and they were my creation. They would either converge on me or attempt to muddle my clarity. I tried talking to them, but I could never remember what they said - it was babble.

In a dream, I was eating inside of a cafeteria along with perhaps 150 other people. The tables were long and close, so that you had to bother people in order to get to your seat. I was sitting in the center of a table, and I noticed I was dreaming. The background chatter died slowly, and everyone was looking at each other - and then at me. They began to crawl slowly over the tables in my direction. The ones closest to me grabbed my arms. I shook them loose, angrily shouting, "why are you doing this to me???"

I wanted to escape, but stay to fix the problem. Surprisingly, I was able to transport into another part of the building. Two people were talking near a door, supposedly about what happened in the cafeteria. They saw me materialize in the same room. They looked at each other, and immediately shifted their weight, sprinting directly towards me.

In front of me was a large projection screen. On a table to my right, was a Sega Dreamcast. I picked up the DC, held it my left hand, and energized it with my right. An energy wave exploded around me, and the two people were knocked back on their feet. I was shining with white and yellow light. The doorways began to fill with people from the rest of the building. They were only slightly taken aback, and  started to run towards me.

I looked at the screen, and focused on it, projecting the contents of the Dreamcast onto it - looking for something, anything, that would help me escape. Incredible images cycled on the screen, only some of them resembling video games. They were all so amazingly new and vibrantly pristine, and as pure as the dreams I might have had as young child. They were all dashing by so quick, and the people were gaining speed. Suddenly, on the screen was something like an anime, a girl flying through a blue tunnel. I latched onto her, grabbed her hand, and we flew into a vortex.

Then everything changed. It was no longer dreamlike. It was like everything was as real and solid as physical reality. I was on some distant world, with a purple, indigo, dark blue sky at sunset, revealing stars, moons, and other large celestial objects. It was a volcanic world, with lava flows. In front of me was a dark igneous rock face, and out of the rock was emerging a figure - like a statue coming to life. She was grey skinned with a tint of blue, and had stoney ash black bat's wings, also rimmed with blue. She looked like a demon/angel hybrid, a monolith of freedom and independence.

Some more happened after that, but I'm not sure if it's important. You said "EVERY DETAIL" is important. So I'll include a conversation I had in the Spirit Guides = Useless thread.

aryan, I have not read this whole thread, but I have similar views on spirit guides. I went through a great deal of trouble in order to meet mine, but what I saw was I guess a kind of demon-hybrid. She was like a finely crafted sculpture coming out the igenious rock wall of volcano, where she was hibernating for God knows how many years or millenia. She was smokey blue tinted grey, blue around the edges of her blackish wings. She was the embodiment of someone who had mastered the light and the dark, independence, and beauty. For a moment, I definitely thought I had seen something close to perfection.

I made a sudden mistake. I looked at her face, peered deeply into her eyes, at first trying to commit the face to memory, but then to see the "real" her. From what I had read in astral forums, maybe this was a live person? Her face disappeared and instead I saw a blurry window of a pathetic fat lonely man in his 40s, roaring in selfishly spoiled anger. I was disturbed and frightened. Had I made contact with some gay freak from the hicks? Best not to think about it, I thought.

Since then I have not seen her, nor any other guide, and not for total lack of trying. I can only conclude that there are no guides for me, not at this time.

Perhaps I offended her by looking into her? Was that an unwitting psychic attack? Was her apparition of a fat man my punishment? Was it a curse? Was I looking into a mirror, at my eventual future?

I would feel dishonest to say I that I saw a real conscious being. The experience, however, was definitely real to me, and I will always remember that small moment where I saw how far independence could take a person.

Tayesin responded very thoughtfully with this:

Hi Telos,
You made no mistake in your actions. You were shown a probable future you. The being appeared to you in a way that suggested your current awareness and interests, as they can. As such it was a reflection for you, and it certainly got your attention, exactly as it was designed to do.

Try again. Let go of the image you hold in your mind of this being and allow them to appear in another helpful guise. Feel the energy of that being. You will recognize it, and find it resonating inside you. If it does not fill you with the warmth of love, then Intend to see clearly and look into them. You will soon see what they are and know the first important thing about journeying in the realms... Feel is the key to knowing who and what you are dealing with, and, Intent with focused attention is the key to direction and going where you want to go.

Lastly, have some fun with it.. it's not meant to be serious all the time.

After I had the experience, I was pretty much hooked to reading an discussing about AP, was disappointed that no one I knew - and no one I would come to know - had even remote interests in exploring their consciousness.

I'm somewhat disappointed over all the new age overtones like "energy work," and bad energy and good energy. It reminds me of how people used to think that malaria was caused by "bad air" (mal aria is Italian for bad air) and that ventilation would cure someone of it. That turned out to be a very coarse and inappropriate method of description.

It's been a couple years, and I'm still mulling over the experience. I tried to contact her again while in a lucid dream, but I never found anyone. But, then, I never tried to Dreamcast method again...

I am eager to hear experiences from others regarding tunnels! Remember, Cezyl said every detail is important.

You're welcome Telos.

And thank you for replying Telos. You found a tunnel in a dream object in a dream. To make sure I have it correctly, the DC you projected images from it onto the projection screen. Was this screen like a movie screen?? And amidst the images you were projecting onto the screen the anime character and the tunnel appeard, on the projection screen, into which you jumped, correct?

And MAN. I have experienced characters grabbing onto me and babbling nonsense. I became aware on the planes and was walking trying to awaken a friend I saw. He started speaking gibberish, went to grabbing me, and before I knew it a mob was jumping me, grabbing onto me. SHEESH. You're the first person I've met to have such an experience too...

Thanks for sharing. Cool experience.

ANYONE ELSE... TUNNEL...TUBE... MWahaahaaa!!

P.S.
And don't give up on your guide man. You may want to try visualizing-imagining yourself back to that 'lava' world, and checking around.

I can recall having one OBE that involved a tunnel. I believe it started out as a dream. In the dream, I suddenly saw a light. I felt compelled to touch this light, and as soon as I did, I felt myself leave my physical body. When I got out, my primary objective was to go to heaven. So I just called-out (to God I believe), "take me to heaven". Immediately, powerful waves of energy inundated me. The waves formed a tube or tunnel-like formation, and the whole force was light blue in color. I assume that I was not energetically ready to withstand such a force, and the experience ended soon after.

One time, I do remember, I had a very particular vision. As I was waking-up, still with my eyes closed, it was like I was able to see through a circular window. All I can remember seeing was blue (like a sky), but for some reason it felt like I was looking at something/somewhere vastly vastly far away, and the feeling of energy and power that I sensed from this place was truly awe-inspiring.

That's all correct.

He started speaking gibberish, went to grabbing me, and before I knew it a mob was jumping me, grabbing onto me. SHEESH. You're the first person I've met to have such an experience too...

That's interesting! I've never heard anyone else having those kinds of experiences either. I wonder if it happens at a focus state in between what refer to as classic lucid dreams and projections.

Thanks for sharing. Cool experience.

You're welcome! And thank you.

What about your experiences?

I'm going to try the Dreamcast/projection screen combination again the first time I get a chance.

Really, it's the perfect metaphor. It's a device that "casts dreams" by "projection." I don't know why I've been ignoring it so long. (Maybe I thought I didn't need it?)

Hey Nostic...

THANK YOU. Very cool. Sweet and simple. Blue seems to be a prominent color in the higher dimensionals. I often run into experiences with the color blue in it. I've had experiences with blue in it- I flew up one time and was caught in a void of blueness. I think someone mentioned Nirvana as being blue- the book Remote Perceptions by Angela Thompson-Smith. This form page is blue. Hmmm...

Yo Telos:

I'm sure I was projected when my experience happened. I even experienced the shift back after the projection. The beings grabbed me and I fought them off as best I could and started running. They followed. My friend, an old schoolmate, was the most persistent. I touched him with the intent to freeze him/turn him to stone and it worked for a while. He broke out of it, but it was tres cool.

I went to create a wall of energy to block them, and it worked! Energy spewed out of my hand and fingers like 5 or 6 very thick spiderwebs, like 5 or 6 spokes to a wheel. I was so amazed at what I was doing I stopped focusing on making the wall and they came through the openings. I aborted projection and fell back through a black dimension, and a white dimension, into my nonphysical body, and then I thudded downward and to the left back into my physical body.

What about your experiences?

I was trying to be the 'objective researcher' and not taint the evidence with suggestion, but it shoudn't hurt since it's not the first post. ALL PEOPLE, POST YOUR EXPERIENCE BEFORE READING OTHERS'. MWahaahaaa!!! *clears throat*

Well, my first tube experience happened as a kid. I was in a city about to be jumped by a mob. Go figure. I ran onto a bridge, and looking over the bridge I saw my body underneath the surface of the water. I was able to see the chakras glowing, like pools of colored water. The crowd was fast approaching so I jumped into the water, going through the water's surface. As I broke the water's surface I broke the ceiling of my room, landing into my body.

Freshly in my body, but not all the way connected, I was able to see the tunnel hole in the ceiling of my room, and awareness of it faded as I reintegrated with the physical. I have that experience posted in full here:

POST FIRST! Mwahaahaaa!

*clears throat*

The next time I was meditating at work on my lunch break- something I just adore now. I hit a deep trance and suddenly was flying forward, whizzing at high speed. I don't know if this was really a tunnel, but there were streaks of light, like purple, green, and blue, that FORMED a tunnel shape, like whizzing through stars, how that makes a streaked star tunnel. It freaked me out the speed, so I sinked back into the physical. I would 'let go' and streak again, doing this several times before calling it quits. It was interesting.

Here you go Telos. I'll have many more experiences to share. I'll spend this month getting data, and next month I'll explore, explore, and by April I'll write an article on it- provided I'm good enough to explore that deeply by March. Either way, this article is on the way, and I'll share every experience I have and have had in full in the Report. The bridge one is already posted- but will be added to the Report with the others. I have the other one with the light streaks in my journals I know.

Please share all you can, so you can help build this wad of information that will help everyone[/u]!

Peace.
