I'm not saying I even believe in OBE's, but from everything I know about them, your description fits the bill. *I even get this feeling that you yourself may even believe they are OBE's but don't wish to admit it on this board so as to avoid being scorned, and would rather have other people verify it themselves. *You even seem to leave hints over and over such as \"how could there be an unconscious duplicate of me if it's not a dream,\" as if waiting for someone to explain how that happens in OBE's. *Also, same with the sash. *And as for not being able to walk, how could you? *If you are out of your body, you would not have legs to implement. *If it were a dream, you could do anything you want, being lucid that is. *Floating around, and through objects, that's something an immaterial soul/spirit could do after leaving a body.
Feel free to blast me after this. *But I've done a fair amount of psychological studies and it just keeps striking me that you are almost playing a game about this, waiting for people to verify these as OBE's. *You seem smart, so I don't think that you would simply ignore logic, which, when you weigh the evidence of OBE vs. LD, would clearly show that the signs point clearly to an OBE.
If I'm wrong about something, let me know. *You've just made me curious with your ambiguous statements and replies. *If you really are steadfast that these are dreams, and are afraid to accept them as something \"paranormal\", try to work on relaxation exercises and convince yourself that everything is safe. *I don't think I've ever heard of any young, healthy person dying in their sleep with no explanation, so I don't think you'd be the first. *I think you should take the sash off, personally. *If it were a dream, and you took it off, it would pretty much rule out the possibility of an OBE, which characteristically has something linking the body and the soul. *If you try this and we don't hear from you for awhile, well....
Well, I still don't understand how I can see my friends, & how they are also in the white robes & sashes, & just like me, they leave out books & read them, as they cannot wait to see what happens next. Why are there duplicates of them, too?? Also, they have a sash that also leads back to their bedroom. One time when I tugged on the sash to try to remove it, it just bounced me back into bed, so there is no real way to remove it, at least that is what my friend, Splash says, b/c she has them, too. We do have legs, but we cannot touch the ground...it is as if it is a holigram.... I am not sure of what exactly this is....I really don't want to think that I am dead & that my spirit is gone. However, there is possibility of RVing... Also, I do know that I am dreaming, but then again, in real life, sometimes I think I am dreaming, too! :oops:
