i had an out of body experience, or an ethreal projection. have you ever done that thing when you breath really fast, then hold your breath and it makes you faint?
well this was a few years ago, and me and all my mates were doing it, but i did it and then i was above us all looking at us passed out on the floor..... it was really scary. it put me off the fainting thing.
but as to OBEs being due purely to chemicals, i disagree, there is evidence for the possibility of astral projection, as well as things like remote viewing, where your in your own house, but are seein what is happenning somewhere else.
and its possible to learn to astral project ( i have friends who project regularly) so how canyou learn to make a random chemical reaction take place in your body?

Okay peoples! here's what I know:You know how you're lying in bed and your almost asleep but suddenly it feels like your bed has been pulled out from under you and then your falling back but down? it is said that this is the beggining of an out of body experience, and the reason why you snap awake is because you are not use to falling and you become frightened. If you stay calm then the experience may take place, you can wonder around as a spirit.
How nice, I've had some out of body experiences, it usually happens when I'm very tired, I lie in my bed and somethimes my tiredness is so heavy on my body that my mind just jumps from it and I see the room I'm in and can move from place to place with the ease of my thoughts (infact, when this happens I immidiatly feel super awake, ie. very light and relaxed, not tired at all, very clear). I'm always very aware that I'm awake when this happens and I think to myself, if I open my eyes now I'll see that I am indeed lying in my bed and haven't moved at all.
I also believe that we are programed more than we think.
I have had a very strange reoccuring dream where its just me alone, and I am inside of something incredibly huge, that evokes such a fear that when I was a kid I would always wake up crying.
As far as I can remember I had it 2 or 3 times when I was 9-13, and I had it for the last time when I was 23.
Id wake up crying when I was a kid, but the last time I had it I woke up shaking uncontrollably and I knew that this fear was from something much bigger and greater than I.
Its by far the most amazing thing thats happened to me and changed my life forever.

[b]Too slow Z-man....Although I have studied this phenomenon, as I have never been close to death I cannot speak about the phenomenon itself other than to say what is reported.
They say that anyone close to death can rise out of their body spiritually and either look down at themselves and others around the operating table or deathbed.
It is even said that some people who have had an out of body experience like this may have started a journey towards a welcoming light at the end of a tunnel only to be drawn back into their body when the risk of death is removed my the doctors or surgeons.
Either you have to simply believe what these people say - because THEY believe it - or you must try to find scientific reasons behind the phenomenon so as to debunk the suggestions.
I want to say more about this situation but I will shut up now and give others the chance to speak ! [/B]
sounds...odd 😖 I dont think people close to death can rise up otta their bodies, cause some people just dont beleive in that stuff while others do, and thats not a reason that it cant happen but some people are going to disagree
ive been in a near death situation, and i dont remember anything hapening ❌ everything was just black...cause i shut my eyes
Nazgul: Sounds similar, but in my case I'm not dreaming, I'm awake but unable to move, even to open my eyes is too much of a strain, so I've adopted a technique of lunging my head and upper torso forward to wake up from the 'horrible'* trance.
* A sense of horror always comes with this experience, everything is pitch black and I am unable to move. Quite scary.
I don't know, probably a common experience?
I have no idea what is happening, but if I try to apply some science maybe this can be an explanation: when we are in REM sleep, we are supposed to be unable to move and should be dreaming. But sometimes when you wake in this state, you're still unable to move. The shock of being awake, yet submerged and immobilized in a pitch black void, with (almost) no control over your body does scare most people.
But this could be all wrong.. I dunno.
