My friends:
I had my first full-blown OBE just an hour ago and I'm really jazzed!
Some of you may recall my report of having a near OBE not long
ago...everything but my head pulled out and I did a slow "breakdance",
turning in circles slowly as I tried 3 times to get my head to
disconnect...it was wild! But THIS was the first "all body" OBE since
the early 80s and I owe it all to you guys here on the NG! I recall
vividly falling down below my bed before realizing what had happened.
Just as in my near OBE, I was very aware of the lack of any sound....I
attributed it the first time to the total deafness in my right ear a
couple of years ago (too many loud concerts and having the volume
turned
to 11 on a 10 scale took it's toll over time) and as I gained control
of
myself, I floated up above my reclined body, laughing with joy.
Visually, it was like an acid trip...everything was slightly out of
sych...that cool silver and purple glow along all the edges of items
in
my view..vibrating slightly. I decided to go outside and sure enough,
there I was flying around my neighborhood..it was SO cool. It was much
more intense and real than my regular flying dreams! Then, remembering
the discussion about powerlines, I headed for our local power grid. As
I
approached, I remember cartwheeling my arms to slow down then, upon
contact, I looked down and watched with fascination as the powerline
pushed into my body...much like a string being pulled through
jello...I
even felt it coming out my back, pulling my "astral skin" slightly
then
snapping all the way through. It was such a fascinating moment, I
turned
and did it two more time, laughing at the effect! I was really doing
well, everything in the Universe seemed so small, so insignificant.
There was no hesitation...none of the dreary, daily worries that make
up
the dull daytime activities...I was FREE!! Ha, I can't help but smile
even as I type this. Then, something from yesterday entered my mind. A
member of the lucid dream NG and I had been having a discussion about
the state of Science in our money-driven society and suddenly, it was
important for me to say something to her that I'd left out in my last
post. Instantly, I was flying very high over the land. I even looked
up,
hoping to catch some meteors coming in from the Leonid shower still
going on (I didn't see any..sad to say). Without warning, I lost
altitude REALLY fast...again, I very clearly remember cartwheeling my
arms as I approached the ground, a natural bodily action, for me at
least, in an attempt to keep myself "righted" as I came into a large
town from above. I approached the top of a building and instantly,
after
closing my eyes just before hitting the roof, and I was inside this
strange condominium/apartment. It was an "open ceiling" design above
the
livingroom with a "loft" structure overlooking it...you could look
down
from the loft into the livingroom below. Seated at a table that had a
PC
currently turned off, I saw a woman writing on a "legal" pad on a
pullout platform in the desk. I slowly floated towards her, hoping it
was this woman I mentioned and as I came even with the opening of the
loft, she appeared to look up with a curious "looking around"
countenence. I tried to talk to her, telling her who I was and why I
was
there but she didn't appear to hear or see me..well DUH! :) Anyway,
after a few moments, I heard the barking of a small dog, terrier, I
think, and she got up and walked around the corner, heading
downstairs.
Disappointed, I lost concentration and was immediately flying overhead
again, heading home. I slowly sank down through the roof of my house,
making a note of a bird's nest just under the eaves on the side of the
house (yes, I just checked and it IS there) and floated peacefully
down
to the sleeping form below and my OBE ended. It was SUCH a TRIP!! In
all
ways :)
Anyway, I wanted to write it all down while it was still vivid in my
mind. Thanks to all of you and this wonderful group; without whom I'm
sure this wouldn't have happened.
