has anybody ever had an out of body experience ? is it true ?...and whats the astral plane ? (61)

oops forgot to say, the second time i had one i had fainted and apparently had a fit or something and again there was loads of people and noise and flashing lights in the room and i was looking at my boyfriend at the time shouting at me and shaking me to wake me up.

both these times i've been in a crowded space with loads of lights and noise, bit strange!

ok there wasn't literally people and noise and lights in the room, but its what i experienced when i was unconcious

argh stop explaining sarah!

no need to explin sarah ..keep telling us about your expereinces girl !..why do think these things happen to you / and what do your family and freinds think about it all ? did you see anything that changed your way of thibking ?

i don't know what to believe porsha ? i was at an interesting barbecue garden party last night ( first time in a long while and somebody there was talking about his expereinces ( oops spell that wrong but who cares )! but the whole thing made me think again love !

im not sure what my family and friends think about it tbh! never asked them! it didn't really change the way i think about anything, i suppose what happened can be explained scientifically and also paranormally - if that makes sense?

anyway, i am unsure if i actually stopped breathing or was in any danger of dying since the first time i was on my own and the second time by dopey boyfriend was shaking me too much to notice anything! but i don't remember feeling afraid or anything like that, just confused by all the noise and lights, but not in a freaking out kinda way, more a calm quiet confusion.

hi trish i would love to know more about your out of body experience by the way does anybody know why out of body experiences occur

Out of body experiences can occur both voluntarily and involuntarily. During times of excess stress on the physical body, it is believed, the soul can go 'walk about' and prematurely leave the body. Some drugs can also induce this state. Deep meditation and sometimes during very deep sleep can also cause the soul to leave the body in 'spiritual form' and seek comfort or knowledge in the Astral Plane (which is believed to be the place souls cross to after their mortal life has ended) or simply linger or move freely seperately from the mortal body on the mortal plane - My son did this years ago at Christmas when he was about 7 and if it wasn't for the incident we would have had a very bad house fire. I was asleep and woke up to him standing by my door telling me to go downstairs and turn the plug off to a battery charger because it was going to set alight. As I got out of bed he walked out of my room and his shoulder sort of went through the door like a ghost. I turned round and he was gone so I went into his room to ask him what he meant but he was fast asleep and snuggled up in his loft bed. He was definately too warm to have got out of bed. I went downstairs and found the battery charger which had been left on as it was supposed to charge for 12 hours was now smoking. I unplugged it and threw it outside then went back to bed. The next day I asked my son about it but he didn't know what I was talking about although he had a very stiff shoulder without any bruising. A friend (who is a medium) told me about the incident months later, long after I'd forgotten about it, and explained about out-of-body experiences.

wow that was very interesting to read:) i belive theres somthing when you die, but like someone once said, its been proven that energy cant be destroyed, so our energy must live on:)

that could have been the pethidine. i have massive doses of that daily, and it doesnt have any effect on me, but some people it really conks them out.
