Attacked during OBE

[Hela]

This is a bit of a long one but if anyone could give some analysis of an experience I had last night, it would be very much appreciated.

I should say that I am a natural OBEr and have had many experiences, including conversing with different types of entities.

Last night I found myself walking around my apartment. It was dark and I had a strange feeling of another presence so I went to turn the lights on - 2 switches and a lamp but they didn't work. A thought went through my mind that the electricity must have gone out but then I started to suspect that I was having an OBE - this is strange for me as I am usually completely aware I am in one. I went into the bathroom and thought to myself that if I fell, and I was having an OBE, it wouldn't hurt. So I fell and found myself surrendering to the usual OBE feeling I get - as though I'm being lived and the experience lives me rather than me trying to consciously make something happen. But as this happened I thought, Cool, I will go visit my boyfriend, as I had never successfully visited anyone before during an OBE. So I then felt myself moving through the wall but then it became quite confusing - quite a nice spaced out whirling feeling but I didn't really know where I was. Suddenly, I was called back to my body in the bathroom as I heard a noise and felt a strong presence nearby. Someone was moving through the hallway past the bathroom door and had opened and closed the front door. Very scary. I prepared myself to defend myself although I knew I wouldn't be able to use my voice - it felt paralyzed (which I sometimes experience during an OBE).
I got up and went to the door to check on it. It was closed and the safety chain was on but I could see the light from the outside under the door. (I vaguely remember the door having a window and curtain over it which it doesn't have in real life which confused me). I was quite convinced there had been an intruder in my place.

I went back to my bedroom thinking if I was having an OBE, I would be able to see my body in my bed. I went over to my bed but it wasn't there! Only empty bedclothes. So I became quite confused.

Suddenly, as I was standing next to my bed, some hands came out from underneath and grabbed hold of my foot. I tried to break free and pulled its hair. It had small hands and I bit one of its fingers. I tried to talk to it to find out what it wanted but the words struggled to get out of my mouth.

I started to panic because it wasn't going to let go and I was feeling quite weak. So in desperation I said something like " I call upon the power of the universe to help me", and I suddenly woke up in bed.

Does anyone know why I wouldn't see my physical body in the bed? Also throughout this OBE I felt a general weakness and experienced voice paralysis - is this a different type of OBE? I have felt this type of weakness before during experiences but I'm usually still in bed, not walking around. Also, I don't know if the fact that I have the flu at the moment has anything to do with the feeling of weakness.

This entity was annoying. I have come across these types of annoying things before. They don't bother me too much because I always seem to be able to wake myself up but I wouldn't mind learning how to deal with them in the moment.

Cheers.

No idea, I looked back once and couldn't see my body.  It's got something to do with the Real Time Zone (RTZ) theory, there's an informative post on it in the new FAQ section, take a look!  Regarding the entity, never come across one myself but being a natural like you (or so I've been told), I probably will when I venture beyond my room (only done it 3 times and only once did I actually decide to move).  All three were spontaneous, one caught me off guard and I tried to 'swim' back in the air to me (I was above me) then the other two times happened each one after the other and I fell through my bed into the RTZ, once I couldn't move and came back, and the second time, I crawled out from under my bed and made a B-line for the mirror before proceeding to try and 'fly' to prove to myself I was APing and not dreaming.  I ended up landing after a brief delay on my bed and woke myself up.  Great story to share around when drunk but I'm working on it with the Focus states but you seem a lot more experienced than I, and probably older too.

I had some distortion and the like but will try again.

Good luck by the way but it seems to me, you encountered an unplesent entity, duh , can't win em all!

Thanks for your comments. Nice to hear about your experience. In regards to my age, I'm mid 30s. I remember  having a lot of flying dreams when I was a kid and I also had an experience when I was 6 where I was in the playground and could see myself from outside so maybe that was a projection. When I was around 8 or 9 I had these intense experiences in bed at night where it felt as though a huge god-like presence was bearing down on me. It really freaked me. I would get out of bed and be pinned against the wall. But nothing else really happened until my early 20s when I got involved in a spiritual practice. I had my first OBE when I was around 24 where I floated to the top of my bedroom ceiling and went to go through the door. Since then I've had numerous spontaneous projections. It just seems to be getting stronger and I can move easily through walls etc and have been outside.  I have even had the dropping down through the bed experience where I then hovered over a hell type world. I have never had a desire to make them happen more though - sometimes I feel that staying in the physical world is enough challenge - but I've decided that it's about time I became more conscious of what's going on. In the last year or so I have started to come across entities, including beings made of light, so I reckon I had better sit up and take notice.

about the negative beings,
is it possible that kids can more easily have an OBE without knowing the difference? that may explain little kids seeing "monsters", besides an overactive imagination. i remember something grabbed my foot when i was lying in my bed in grade 3 about 8 years ago or so.
also, one night  when i was 5 i went to sleep, and woke up on the floor (i was sleeping at the top of a bunk bed, so falling would hurt) 3 times in about an hour! i had no pains or anything. and no, i dont have brothers.
