Prophet mentioning Border line state.

[bewarevileye]

I recently read a hadith and I read
"One of the many critical events in the life of the Prophet Muhammad is the "Night Journey," when, while in a state of consciousness between wakefulness and sleep, he was taken from the Ka'ba (link fixed, Sept. 3, 2000) in Mecca to what the Qur'an (17:1) refers to as "Furthest Mosque" --in Jerusalem-- where the Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa Mosque stand today. From there he was transported through the heavens and then back to this world during what is called his mi'raj (ascension). "

This is amazing because when I attempt to project or experience sleep paralysis it is in the state between wakefullness and asleep the border line state.  Even Robert Monroe said that he hangs to a string of consciousness while he remains still in the mind and the body.

Salam out of body dude.... First of allah, All I can tell you is not to make clear assumptions:P In ISlam when a matter is left in the hands of God we say allahu a3lam. I don't know, you dont lnow, only god almighty knows. It is possibly but probably not likely. An angel decended with a horse creature to take him to jerusalem and then to the 7 heavens. Now, what is more profound is what the Quran has to offer about the souls departure of the body during sleep. this clearly tells us that in fact the "other realm" or the spiritual world is in fact within our own minds proving astral projection. Thre are alot of refrences to this, where during dreaming and sleep it is a "taste of death." Inshallah I hope I helped answer your question.
