First, i want to say i got to thinking about this from the 'how do you dream' thread so i'm gonna put it in here. Feel free to move it to another forum if you dont think it belongs here. Oh yeah, and my quote for the title was kind of random and just seemed to fit the best with what i could come up with. I mean no offence if anyone was going to take it that way.

Last night... i was dreaming somethign and all of a sudden it felt like what i've read to be the begining of an OOBE. It felt like my whole spirit was pounding inside my physical body... i sort of stopped paying attention to what was going on in the dream and tried to get out of my body but it felt like somethign was holding me in. At this point I half knew i was dreaming or at least asleep. I guess what i want to know is if anyone has any ideas on this?

I suppose i should also mention that until i talked to someone in the OF chat, it seemed that somethign was following me around and driving my senses crazy. But after i mentioned it, it seemed to stop other than a few timesit felt like something was holding me. Or at least trying to. Also, i recently found there was a barrior on me that i had no knowledge of really. I have yet to determine if this barrior is good or bad for me but i'm working on it.

Anyway, please resond if you have any coments. I wasnt completely sure what dirrection i wanted this to go in anyway.

Even though i didnt feel like i got out? Actually... come to think of it... what does it feel like after you get out?

what's an OOBE?
are yall talking about when you wake up and you can't move your body or open your eyes and you feel like if you go back to sleep, you'll die so you struggle to wake up-kind of jammies?

OOBE = Out Of Body Experience. See Astral Projection.

What does it feel like to get out? Depends on the person- maybe you semi-got out and then got stuck, which has happened to me a few times.

Barriers can appear for any number of reasons. If you're apprehensive about getting out, then your mind will block you from getting out. Emotional issues don't help either. Also, there's the possibility that it is an entity holding you back.

I'd go with an entity holding me back... but i cant be sure. Any idea what reasons there could be to hold me back? I'm not really apprehensive about getting out... i really wanted to at the time anyway. Cant think of any emotional issues either if ya wanna ask about some... anyway, thanks all for responding to me.

An OBE is a calm and gentle process, the pounding sensations, and forceful will of exiting your body was probably what kept you from popping out.

As far as what it feels like, it is hard to explain, but if you can imagine a state that you are so perfectly weighltess, and are able to see in all directions, that would be very close to the real thing.

The biggest thing, in my mind, is an OBE must be gentle and calm. If you feel any apprehension during the process you should stop. Don't worry, it shouldn't take long before an individual is ready.

Cool. Thanks Tune Bender. I'll try to keep that in mind. ^_^
