      Question Are these OOB experiances in your opinion

      This is a little long but is a collection of my experiances:
      When I was a teenager I remember the first feelings of perhaps have some kind of OOB experiences. I would fall into the in between consciousness place where I cannot move then not even in a dream sequence I would try to sit up but I could not because I felt something like strong rubber bands hold me down to my body. I could sit perhaps halfway up and then the bands would pull me back down again.

      On a long car trip with my father I began to have sleep apnea where I would stop breathing and struggle to do so all the while not being able to move. I opened my eyes and could see out of the car window, the moon in the sky became a blood red and the rest of the scenery monotone I had the thought "Waking Dream" while I was experiencing this and then I regained air and conscientiousness.

      I had many more experiences where I attempted to sit up but was kept down by these "rubber bands" this sensation would scare me and I stopped initiating it when I would feel it coming on for quite a few years.

      Not an OOB - once when I was going through an intense period of emotional pain 2 things happened- my room mate and I were sitting in the living room watching the movie "Powder" and I felt intense happiness that made me want to cry from one of the scenes out of nowhere the pencil laying opposite of us on a coffee table shot off of the table and into the middle of us - neither one of us were near the pencil. I did not get the feeling of any sort of spiritual entity in the room with us.

      My now husband had broken up with me (10 yrs ago) quite suddenly and I was experiencing the worst emotional pain I have ever felt. I was in my bedroom and feeling very sad and angry that he had done this and I was brushing my hair in the mirror. I had a nasty feeling of hate and pain well up inside of me very fast and I looked at the mirror at the exact same time I made eye contact the mirror ( a cheap K-Mart full length) bowed in violently and then popped out and reverberated. Again I didn't feel anything of a spiritual sort in the room.

      my last OOB
      For quiet a few months I had an uncomfortable experience of a horrible buzzing in my head when I would drift off to sleep - accompanied by hearing what sounded like something talking or a radio switching channels. I hated this because I new what was coming the inevitable sleep apnea spell where I wouldn't be able to move or speak and I could feel something very evil just out of my range of vision. During an after noon nap I fought this off and found some peace when I needed to use the bathroom and I felt very aware so assumed that I must be I got up and swung my legs over the side of the bed and put my hand down to steady myself.
      That is when I found I could not feel the bed when I looked down I was astonished to see that my hand had gone right through the bed and then when I made this discovery I began to float upward towards the ceiling I had to "think" my way down again to the ground level. I didn't feel any fear and I looked back to see my self sleeping still in bed tangled up in the sheets, breathing . I didn't notice any sort of thread connecting the two of us. I decided that this time I wasn't going to be afraid that I was going to explore this a little bit. I began by amusing myself with sticking my hands through everything I could- the blinds, the bed, the wall, the ceiling and then I made way down the hall slowly but not walking sort of floating. I did a reality check- yes this was my actual apartment everything was perfectly in place and real even down to the dirty dishes in the kitchen sink and the web page my computer screen still displayed that I had been looking at before my nap. Nothing changed or shifted with the realization. That is when I relised that the house was very quiet, I tuned in to the silence and found that it wasn't really quiet- I could here the neighborhood kids playing outside and the sounds of the wind in the grass and some sort of low pulsing hum that came from EVERYTHING I thought that this must be the energy of life and thought it was quite natural. I looked out the window and saw the children playing and the neighbor climbing into his car to leave I watched him drive away. I thought about going out to fly to see how fast I could get to different places or even if I could go as far as space. Then I thought no, this is my first time I need to practice more and I started back down the hall to lay back into my body. At the end of the hall I approached myself coming out of the bedroom and on it's way to the bathroom. I looked into my eyes and there was nothing there, nothing no hint of life not to say I looked dead it was just that my eyes seemed lifeless. Then the thought occurred to me- if I'm not in me what could be in me allowing me to go to the bathroom? This was unsettling and I knew it was time to go back in, however I tried to step in and the same "rubber bands" snapped me out. My body looked at me and said -"pull yourself in through the center of your head" I concentrated on the center of my head and felt a weird pulling sensation and then I snapped back into my body. I was amazed that I was standing there and not in bed I proceeded to use the bathroom and then I went out to the living room and peeked through my blinds- the same children were playing, the same man was just now pulling out of the parking lot. I could not hear the humming anymore my dishes were in the sink the web page was still up. I never finished my nap I immediately called Scott and then wrote down my experience. Scott said that I must have been sleep walking.
      That was two years ago and I haven't had one since.
