Thread: Fake OBEs

Yeah... but you have to start some where.

I was talking to someone yesterday online. They were telling me how a friend who had taken the recommended dosage of St. Johns Wort found themselves floating out of body near the ceiling and desperately trying to get back in for like Two Hours! (I forget if he said two hours or "hours" as in more than that, but for at least two hours.)
Before we all run out to the nearest Walmart or Health Store to get some "Wort" though, we should remember that St Johns Wort is taken for depression, which itself may have played a big part in the event. People who are stressed or depressed tend to have the sleep paralysis and resulting experiences, Like ol' Edgar Allen Poe did.

Yeah i watched that conversation that you and Jeff had, he's a very wise man!
It does seem as if we are all in an illusion, our beliefs fueled by misinterpretations and misguiding information. I still think there was one time i had a real obe, but the rest i think may have been in that trance state thing. Jeff if your here, post your thoughts

I know almost nothing about OBEs. But my friends dad had one apparently - in a near death experience like you said. Once when he was little, he fell into the lake and was drowning (he couldn't swim). All of a sudden he was over above the trees some distance away, and was watching himself drown from above. He saw his dad pulling him out of the water before he flashed back into his body. Hearing and reading more about these have made this idea more appealing to me. I'd love to experience something like this.... hmmm perhaps not in a near death situation though, but I shall read more about this... In fact, I think I will right now!

Cheers,
