Out of Body Experiences

[Warped]

Have you ever had an out of body experience and never could explain why or how it happened? This could be natural or with the use of drugs or alcohol but you definitely felt different.

When I was about 8 or 9 years old I was trying to fall asleep but I remember getting sleep paralysis which felt a lot like someone was sitting on my chest and it sounded like someone was screaming in my ears from right next to me. there was no one in the room but it felt like it. I've heard of people having alien abductions and they felt very similar feelings and sensations.

Also i tried watching my door and it looked like the handle kept spinning and it was really creepy. I got enough strength to leave the room and told my parents but they didn't believe what I said. Then I tried sleeping with my lights on and same thing, the handle kept spinning and the heavy chest sensation and screaming continued. I was also sweating profusely trying to get the imaginary person off my body. Also mine would be considered the opposite of out of body experiences but I've had a few of those as well.

I would not wish sleep paralysis on anyone, its a horrible experience and hopefully it can be explained one day

Penn & Teller Bullshit! aired an interesting episode on this.

EDIT: Oh wait, theirs was on near death experiences. sorry.

Night terrors after a night of rolling on ecstacy. Horrible experience, it felt like I was being held down and someone was watching me from the closet. Also salvia. It will blow your ****in mind man.

[Raziaar]

Those would be some crushed up pills!

 

[MJ12]

You saying Mchammer is fat?

He's saying Mchammer sleeps in a mortar.

I remember we had a long thread about this about a year ago, maybe more. It was extensive, I myself would like to feel this experience, but its something that isn't easy to obtain. I read a lot about it, and there's so much to learn about it.

I remember once I was in bed and couldn't move, maybe I was half asleep or something, couldn't move, and there was the notion of some guys face right in mine just staring down at me, really creepy, but oddly not really scary or made me panic, really I was just like "wtf is this?...hmmm odd..." and then I was able to move.

 

[G(ordon)-man]

Yeah, had it. I woke and saw a freaking UFO staring at me from the darkness. I was struggling to run away but it came closer and started to stare me really creepily. Then i woke up. Some people reported strange lights across P?lva that day. Coincidence?

 

[Bad^Hat]

Nope.

Ya, I've had a couple OOBEs in the past. It was pretty trippy actually. The first experience was laying on a couch after learning the proper technique in getting an OOBE. I felt as though I was floating in the air and as soon as it ended I heard a loud bang.

Confused and even more interested, I attempted it again a few days later, this time in my bed. After hitting the point of necessary relaxation my entire body began to feel as though it were being shocked (normal for the start of an OOBE) and when I opened my eyes everything was crystal clear and my vision was zoomed in a little. It's hard to describe but from the 30 seconds or so that it lasted it was one of the most surreal moments in my life.

I should try it again.

You must realise this is the only viable method to prepare the stuff for nasal consumption.

I've had sleep paralysis which was rather unnerving, but never an out of body experience.

 

[Atomic_Piggy]

Also salvia. It will blow your ****in mind man.

This. Freaky shit.

 

[Holy Toaster]

I remember once when I was about 11 I had a weird sensation of floating when I was asleep, I woke up and my body crashed onto the matress like I had fallen on it.

 

[Cornerstone]

I've had a few OOB experiences with LSD and shrooms. I've also had a few experiences with sleep paralysis. Interesting experiences so say the least. In fact I did.

And getting a nasty chemical burn. I'd never snort that shit.

 

[MJ12]

Would you do it for Klondike Bar?

My whole life I've experienced very odd experiences with OOBEs, they're often related to episodes of panic or sleep stages. It's not uncommon for me to experience sleep paralysis and night terrors and the occasional (slightly easier to handle) lucid dream, where control can be exerted. There's one particular incident where I recall very specifically being out of body, and that was my first recognizable panic attack -- for some reason in my pacing I began to see myself from the third person -- it was horrifying, yet looking back very intriguing and almost beautiful. I was in a hotel hallway rapidly pacing back and forth, concerning myself with random hypochondriacal anxieties when I began to simply stop being one with myself. I can't put into words the sensation because I wasn't within my own body at the time (or so it seemed).

It's hard for me to talk about in any kind of tangible, workable way because I don't fully understand the incidents myself, they remain an enigma and the more I think about them the more complex my ideas about how or why they occur become. I've written some of them down in random places and notebooks which are scattered throughout my room. I remember at one point I had an entire wall of post-its which contained images and ideas that came from altered dreamlike states like night terror, this ultimately helped me cope with future episodes because they've become such an inevitability in my life.

Could a mod change the thread title to "McHammer, isn't he great?"

McHammer gets smokered a lot.
