Teeird Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out-of-body_experience Has anyone had an oobe? If so what was it like? I'm currently researching the oobe as I find the concept fascinating, so if you have any stories/tips to share, that'd be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teeird Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Nope, never had a trip and don't ever want to have one Why not? The two times I've had one they were unintentional but overall amazing experiences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwesomeMcCoolName Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Why not? The two times I've had one they were unintentional but overall amazing experiences. Care to elaborate, how/what it felt like/was it a full out of body--i.e. did you see yourself? While i think it would be interesting to experience it, i'd much rather have a lucid dream.

While i think it would be interesting to experience it, i'd much rather have a lucid dream. The first one happened late last year. I fell asleep on the sofa watching RT (yes russia today), woke up and thought I was actually awake. I got off the sofa, scratched my head and realized my body was still sound asleep on the sofa. I knew what it was so I didn't panic. I was excited actually, I wanted to go roam about in town seeing what's up when all of a sudden what felt like an invisible hand pulled me to the ground and that was that. I started to then revisit old memories. Aye, lucid dreaming is great, you should make a thread on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least according to a girl on steam that said she lucid dreams. But she later turned out to be a guy and then removed everyone from his friend's list so idk.

Scootaloo Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I've had a short experience like this when I came back from a trip from Riverside. Fell asleep on the couch and I remember being thirsty as hell. I got up, saw my body asleep, and just thought "Ohh, alrighty then..." then I just passed out again. I later awoke in the kitchen, no joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corillo Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I've tried lucid dreaming and actually had semi-success, my goal was to fly and i actually managed to do that twice. No out of body experiences yet, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#NewWizard Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I always thought that there is no real out of body experience. It is just a lucid dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegan T-Rex Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Sometimes in my dreams I can feel myself falling down some stairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whopz Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I have extensive experience with using ketamine and methoxetamine which are supposed to let you experience something like you describe, but in my experience, the separation from your body isn't in the sense that you're viewing your physical self from the exterior, but that you experience the separation of self from your physical body. Sort of like being aware that "you" only really live in your bag of meat and bones, but what "you" are exists outside of the immediate physical world.

Pyrocide Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Ive had the opportunity to do vapor DMT once in my life. That was a crazy experience. That is about the closest thing to OOBE I can recall. If you ever do have the chance to do it though, do not do it anywhere where you are not 100% comfortable and relaxed. Ive been around people that flipped out on the shit and it did not end well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyrocide Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Like I said, I don't ever want to trip. Total respect for that. Its not for everyone, IMO. Some people try it and hate it, some people have great experiences and then one bad one that makes them swear it off for life. Different strokes I guess.

Aearsears Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I've tried to lucid dream on many accounts, but it's actually really harder than it seems. You gotta practice, or maybe its just me because I have a pot belly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay up for an hour relaxed then fall back asleep. The trick is to try and have you body fall asleep first while your mind is still awake. It takes practice.
