General Chat / Out of body experiences

Today I was walking to my biology class. All of a sudden I felt like I was home and lying on the couch. Then a couple seconds later my head felt weird and I was at my class. It was fucking weird....

Anyone had this before?

Out of body experiences usually happen in cases of extreme pain or truamatizing times. But That does sound odd. It could also happen when someone is Very tired.

I use to read up on such topics at the library and watch the discovery channel. It seems interesting of you to bring a topic such as this up.

thats happen to me a few times...once when i walked into the wrong classroom at college, once in a fight, and today watching that hurricanes game

OMG 22-20 but a wins a win

Ive experienced 4 of these. The 1st one kinda freaked me out. I havnt had one in 2 years though.

Never had one. Too shallow.

havn't had one.

Erm. I wouldn't exactly describe it as an 'out of body' experience, but this is the weirdest thing I can remember:

In the car on the way to suffolk, we stopped for picnic in this field. Ate it, got back in car, I went to sleep. Had the most vivid dream EVER of driving for about an hour, then my dad realising we'd left something back at the picnic place, so we drove back. Then I woke up, exactly as the car stopped. I thought we were back at the picnic place and said to my sister (i was lying down so didn't look outside) "gah, it's gonna take ages to get to the house now!" and it turned out we were there! none of the forgetting/going back had actually happened, but my dream was so real and 'in time' that i got completely confused.

an O.B.E is when you sleep and your spirit leaves your body. Often the person experiencing the O.B.E will not realise whats happening until they see themselves below them. If the person in question gets a fright they can wake up, which is quite dangerous, as the body isn't connected to its spirit.


blah, i'm not sure i believe all that mumbo jumbo, but somthing on discovery did spook me...

nobody is suggestion that depth has anything to do with it...

Sometimes on long car rides when I was around 10 years old or so I would just stare out the window for a very long time and then for a few seconds I would get the distinct impression that time no longer existed. It was like I could see 1/2 second into the future only there was nothing there. There was no future because it hadn't happened yet. It's like life is this movie where you are the main character and you see everything through your own eyes and you make decisions naturally as they come to you but for a second there I was free of my limited point of view and I could see the world outside of myself. And the scary thing was, it was absolutely nothing. There was no meaning at all because I hadn't created it yet. The feeling only lasted for a couple seconds at a time and I've never been able to recapture that feeling and I can't even explain it very well. I don't know if that counts as an out of body experience, I didn't see myself or anything, but it was something like that. I think it was some klind of existential revelation. I also experience intense deja-vu with frightening regularity. Usually when I get that feeling something happens and for some reason it triggers this memory of having seen the exact same situation before somewhere like in a dream. Like I could swear I dreamt what was going to happen a few days earlier and it came true. Perhaps I invented that memory of the dream when the event occurs, I don't know. Weird shit.

Yeah I have dreams about stuff and then the following day they happen exactly. At least I remember dreaming them, maybe my head just makes it up.

On roughly the same subject, how about lucid dreams?

I do have the occasional lucid dream. Which are fun, because you can, like, rape hot girls, and shit.

Do hallucinogens count?*

* don't do drugs. stay in school.

I was up at night and went to bed around 11:30, i immediately started having a dream that i was still awake and brushing my teeth bopping around my house talking to people on the computer etc. and that i didnt go to bed til around 6 in the morning. And when I woke up it was 6 in the morning and for the next few hours i believed I had actually stayed up until 6 in the morning.

weird feeling

and these "out of body" experiences happen to me during swim practice alot, lots of repetitive movement combined with fatigue almost hypnotizes me and puts me in a trance where i keep swimming and dont' stop without feeling, and I drift into a daze and sometimes, during the very long sets, start dreaming.

It's a very creepy feeling to know you "sleep-swim"

It's also not uncommon among other swimmers, it's not a rare occasion to someone to keep swimming even after the set is over and the coach has to yell at them to realize they are supposed to stop.

Creepy

the steps

1.)Initial enrgy--When I first start swimming and I can sprint laps and feel great, lasts about five minutes

2.)Initial fatigue--The sprints take their price, and an overwhelming fatigue stes in, but it's a test, you can handle it

3.)Prolonged Fatigue--Your less exhausted, but your tired, and you want to stop swimming, you don't think you can start again if you stop

4.)The Zone--You lose feeling, you lose the connection between mind and body and you don't feel tired anymore, you pace is very very steady and you are thinking independently from whatever you are doing, this is where I think the clearest and with the most insight/

5.)Out of Body--Only happens if you've been "In the Zone" for more than a half hour or so, say a set spanning thousands of yards of swimming (getting up near or beyond 100 laps consecutively), you lose not only the feeling like being "in the zone" but you lose cognative thought as well, you whole extra mental energy is beyond pulled to continue powering you body forward. When your done you may not remember swimming for so long.

from there you either become delusional (dreams etc.) or simply pass out, if you get to this point you've worked plenty hard and your dangering yourself, take a break.
