Welcome to our new site
September 18th, 2006Hello people - we made it back after a short spell offline.
If you have visited us before I’m sure you have noticed the site has changed, 100%.
The goals of this website is to present information on what exactly an Out of body experience is, provide real evidence which may exists on the subject and to present the various methods available to achieve an OBE. We also aim to give detailed accounts of actual Out of body experiences (OBEs) and what may have been learned so far.
I’d love to hear from people who can provide details on OBE’s (proof, stories of adventures and methods to achieve them)

hello i sure would like someone to explain this one to me,I came home from a long day at work and laid down ,i started to fall asleep and i knew i was going to fall fast being i was so tierd,it seemed like right before i was ready to fall into my sleep i felt somthing overwhelm me and tried to open my eyes and move my body and it wasnt easy for me to do ,i was lying on my stomach i felt somthing directly behind me and forced myself to look behind me and what i saw totaly amased me and still to this day cannot explain what i saw and felt.The feeling i had was like no other,im finding it dificult to put into words,it felt like a part of me was leaving and i knew i could’nt live without this being that was huvering over me,and the heartach i was felling was overwheling.Know from what i understand about this is that usually the person is in the air floating obove there own body well my experience is the opposite corect me if im wrong,becuase after the initial feeling i realized that this being was me when i looked up i saw the most beuatiful what looked to me like an angel floating above me the whole room was glowing i was staring with amazment trying to figure out what this was i finally focused on the center and saw the figure it had long flowy hair and finally i could see the face and at amasement i saw my face,if anyone outthere can explain this to me i would apreciate it.

I am just another person, no one special. I had one of only one with no training involved. But/this is how it happened? Back in 1993 I bought 3 pills of ectacy, I went home 45min drive and ate a half of pill waited 1hr nothing. So I eat the other half wait 30min eat another half. and 30 min later the rest of the pills absolutely nothing I go back to kick the guys ass! He says to sit down he is going out if they don’t kick in before we go he will give me my money back. I sit there piiiissssed! all of a sudden from a seated position I slowly come out of myself now sitting in my lap, looking at the back of my head. I stayed very calm because this was absolutely real . I began to go back and forth looking at my self from both bodies and then it stopped. I have done alot of drugs in my life 16 to 25yrs old seen things I knew without a doubt were not real or could not really focus on knowing if I really looked at some hollucination I was seeing it would go away. This was absolutely differant

when I was 27 I had just had an emotional episode with a girlfriend and tho it was early in the evening, decided to lay down and think things thru. I wasn’t asleep, was making some real soul searching insights when my feeling of self felt like I’d moved,opened it’s eyes and looked down from the ceiling at my body on the bed, it scared me and I returned. Over the next 2 years I played with going higher into the air til I felt I was so high into space the earth was the diameter of a beach ball– at which point the fear of not being able to get back stopped me from doing it again.

On many occasions , I have experienced OBEs and I have classic signs that I am going into one , such as body vibrations , the most notible ones are once when I flew above the house to see roadworks being errected outside my house and woke to find that roadworks had actualy been errected outside my house and another time , I was flying around the inside of my house with my little yorkshire terrier , Kevin , who had died 12 months earlier , it was real , belive me to the point that we went down to the kitchen and I felt I had to do something to remind myself that this had happened so I took a bin liner from the cupboard and put it on top of the kitchen cupboard and sure enough , it was there in the morning .
Also I have accurately described to people at work what they were doing at unearthly times such as three am in the morning
One guy at work has cats that wake him up all night , I happened to wake at around 2 am and after doing the usual toilet , drink go back to bed I laid in bed and I saw his house and he was letting the cats out at 3.25 am , he was wearing some shorts and a t shirt and I saw his house and the next day I acurately described his house , his garden and exactly what he was wearing at the time without fault…
I have been looking into this subject for years and have an almost 100% method of achieving OBEs using some simple ideas , if you would like to know how and just have an email chat about Obes then mail me at jeff@theoldbridgehouse.wanadoo.co.uk ,dont worry , Im not a commercial site or anything , I just know a way that works almost everytime…
Oh and one final one , a few weeks ago , whilst in bed I was flying around where I work and I knew I was there so I drew 2 lines in some dust , 4 days later I remembered this and checked and sure enough there were 2 faint lines exactly where I had drawn them , this took alot of energy to do but I did it…..

Proof? Maybe it’s like someone leaving the US and going to China and our asking them to prove the trip by bringing back specialized information about the US. They can’t.
Maybe it’s like someone going from a two dimensional world into a three dimensional one and bringing back a cube to prove the trip. They can’t.
For the person who felt something was leaving the body, that doesn’t fit my experience. “We” are the something that seems to leave — that which is aware (or aware of being aware) is what moves. If we are looking at something else, that’s by definition not us.
My best proof? (a) the subjective sense of the experience; (b) experiences where I seem to have been able to induce a waking experience in persons with whom I was in rapport; and (c) a simultaneous experience where I and a close friend simultaneously saw each other in the OOB state and concurred on the experience and the appearance (what we looked like) of one another.
Is it real? That’s a different question than whether a “soul” or “self” leaves the physical body. I’d say yes, it is absolutely real. If you are thinking you may have had an OOBE I doubt you have had one yet. When you have had one, it’s as real as knowing you are awake and reading this right now. It does (for me and I’m sure others) call into question the nature of reality itself). I subscribe to the view that all our realities are a mental construct (cf. constructivism) and that we manage to keep fairly our “construct” fairly well aligned to the “constructs” of others in daily life — but never exactly so. If we get out of synch, we have disputes and fights. More out of synch and we are seen as odd. Really out of synch and we are seen as nuts.
Other anectodal evidence for or against:
1. I’ve seen beings at the point of moving into what might have been an “astral realm.” I identified them as hooded watchers. Turns out a number of cultures and traditions have stories of these watchers. Even the Judeo-Christian tradition has the “cherubim” who guard the entrance back into the garden once the humans are kicked out.
2. While it’s possible that some, many, or all experiences are some trick of the mind, I havent’ been able to figure out why my trick of the mind should influence another person’s self-perception and that we should both agree on the experience.
3. I find some medical explanations to be illogical. Take the one that the tunnel leading to the light is the birth canal experience being replicated. How many babies are born with the eyes pointed up and coming out first? (The crown of the head normally comes out first.)
4. The experiments being done are interesting. However, it would be good to have some subjects who have experienced an OOBE compare the “virtual second body” experience and see how and if they are similar or different.
5. Experiences like 360 degree vision raise questions. How can we actually create the apparent reality of that sort of vision, a sort that we have never actually experienced?
6. The vibrations that many people experience on re-entry (or failed attempts to re-enter) the normal waking state are interesting. They can be extremely pronounced and some of you will have experienced this. Why should a trick of the mind create vibrations — such motion usually comes from one or more moving things hitting a cyclic series of releases and contstraints relative to something else. What is trying to move or quit moving?
Those are my thoughts at the moment. My intuition is that the explanations will come from some confluence of “proof” where science lands in a ground barely distinguishable from magic (at least from our current view). One of my favorite physicists said it well: the universe is not only stranger than we imagine, it is stranger than we _can_ imagine. In the meantime, I think the challenge is to remain appropriately skeptical, seek scientific answers, and be open to the possibility that the experience is not just subjectively real (which it definitely is) but may be real in some other sensse — or may point toward “cracks” in our understanding of reality in general.

When I was seventeen I had a spell of out of body experience some mainly sleep paralyses where I was stuck in my body often I was total aware of the room around me I could move my eyes around behind my eyelid looking out of the closed slits at the room but was unable to wake up, others more vivid with heavy vibrations and sense of being detached from my body. All of them I had to struggle inside my head to wake myself up and left me scared, at the time I put this down to experimenting with drugs, flash backs etc, but the memories never left me. A year ago (I’m 35 now) I Started having them again this time more vivid , sleep paralyses, lucid dreams, but now, I wanted to find out more. I had other unexplained experience that had left me with a open mind. I’m a normal guy runs a successful business, but was finding it difficult not to believe this was real. I started to read a books on Astral Dynamics (robert bruce), it started to make sense, I started remembering things when I was a child up in my room slightly daydreaming have really good hearing being able to hear what was being said downstairs clearly, reoccuring dreams, the vibrations, this bloke had experienced the same things as me. I set about teaching myself to have this experiences by choice, using the tools I had read; Asking myself in the day if I was dreaming or was it real whenever I did something normal, like going to the toilet or drinking. This eventual made me do this in my dreams allowing me to become conscious in my dreams, I was desperate to have a out of body experience I really believed it was possible, even told my closes friends! I did what the book said feeling energy moving up and do your body. Sometimes the vibration would come they would be so strong I would become scared and back out. One night I was lying in my bed trying to experience a full out of body and it just happen, the vibrations came and I was out. I moved around the bed my misses was asleep. I could see where she was, everything felt so real but different, my kids for one where sitting at the end of the bed talking unaware I was there, I was also conscious of my real body on the bed, but could freely move around. I did things I’d read like looking in the mirror looking at my reflection and dissolved, just like the book said. I now was convencied that it was possible to seperate your soul/mind from your body, and all my normal beliefs where thrown up in the air. You may wonder why I explaining this, you probably just think it was a nightmare or bad dream, but next think that happened nearly made me have a nervous breakdown, I looked into my Children’s room the light was on this was obviously only in the OBE as I new I turned it off. And something was filling me with upmost fear inside about this room, I forced myself to go in, when I did it was empty apart from coat hangers floating around and the fear that something terrible had happened inside my stomach. I quickly returned to my body, I was petrified. It just seemed so real I thought I had a premonition that something dreadful would happen. I started reading physic book s and everything, told the misses told me to stop being so stupid! But when I went away on holiday with my family 2 months later my fear, I thought was about to become reality. I had to return early leaving them there, I came back to the house as normal, feeling fine, I went upstairs to put some bits away went to the kids cupboard inside there was mainly empty hangers, I went to mine, the same the airing cupboard also was full of empty hangers! I paniced, the experience just came flooding back, but now I thought I new what it meant, I had created the end game, my family was not coming back! The next week I went through living hell, everyone probably thought I was going mad, I was so convinced I had a premonision that I opened up to everyone close about it I was unable sleep, spoke to a psychic, and even told my misses not to get on the plane as I though they where going to die. On the day of her return I was in such a state that I nearly had a breakdown and was drove to the airport, something that if you met me you would realise that it is very out of character. Obviously they where fine they even landed, 30 minutes early! I almost cried when I saw them, my pride was hurt, how did I a normal person with scientific beliefs become so mixed up. I now put it down to reading the wrong literature on the subject. But the truth is when this happens it feels so real. I’ve since moved on I don’t deliberately try to bring these experiences on, but I keep coming back to it as I find it so interesting. I throughly enjoyed reading the responses on your site giving views from both sides of theories without dismissing either. I still have sleep paralysis a lot but try not to think outside the box, when it happens! I now gone back to the skeptical view, that my hectic life make me prone to bad sleeping patterns, which contributes to these and the mind is a powerful thing that we do not fully understand fully. But I hope you now understand how it’s so easy to to see it as from a more spiritual perspective, (which I never use to be!). If any you ever get involved in scientific tests or anything where you need people to take part, I’d love to be part of it, I don’t want to go to my grave without more understanding of something that has niggled me all my life!

People want Proof? I have never had an OBE but I have always been intensely interested and do not need any PROOF that its possible. What is quite evident after reading thousands of accounts of having the experience, is it all depends on what your believe system is as to what you experience during these OBEs. If you believe in ghosts you might see them..those that are very religious usually will encounter deities that their religion represents. I genuinely think its possible for your consciousness to leave the body since I think the body is merely a shell for this energy we call the soul, or spirit. I do not think we are in our natural state at all. I have done astrology for thrity years and its quite evident to me that the chances of having a natural OBE is elevated when you are born with the potential to do so thru the influence of the planets at the time of birth. Someone who has frequent lucid dreams is a great candidate for OBEs. Also, I disagree with the comparison of all OBEs come from a conscious suggestion to have one. Why then would very young children be able to relate apparent OBEs and not even aware of what they were. I think its a facinating area to explore, I envy those who are able to attain them regularly and thankgoodness our enemies are not anymore skilled than we are in attaining them….or are they?

Hi…Its intresting to know that you feel the same way as I do. Whenever I tried to explore the websites for information on OBE, I used to get the folloing points on every website;
1- everyone can obtain OBE
2- it involves vibrations and humming sounds
3- there are different techinques of having an OBE
4- you can acctually see your body lying there
and other similar info….
well I did have an OBE just once if this above mentioned info is true…but i do not believe that you can acctually have an OBE because if it could happen, every person in the world knew how to do it and could interude and spy on others very easily. We would not need any intelligence agencies or satellites then. Because its the the ultimate thing…if you can go anywhere and see what other person is up to, whats left? isnt it the ultimate?
Being a Muslim, I believe in words of Holy Quran that mean that when we sleep our soul leave sthe body and do things which we don not know but only God knows….
I believe that the soul leaves the body but there is another world which is the perfection of this world….as Greeks said that this world is the imitation of another world and that is in its perfection. My religious beliefs do contradict with my own opinion. But it can be true as Holy Quran says that there is not just one world, there are several worlds…so may be there is another world which is perfection of this world and when we sleep, we go there instead of this world, thats why in our dreams, everything looks perfect abd beautiful and serene and thats why sometimes we do not want to wake up…!!!!
My dreams are sort of gothic in nature. I usually see beautiful architecture with every possible detail and water and flowers and all kind of natural beauty….mountains most of the time….greenry….
anyway….this is what i wanted to say….its not like im very religious or something but I believe, liek a true muslim, whats written in our Holy book is true. Being Muslim, I also believe in Torah, Bible and other books that were descended on other Prophets(Peace be Upon Them) before Holy Prophet (Peace be Upon Him).
