I am very interested in learning more about OBE. There have been a handful of times that I would swear I had an out of body experience but how does one know for sure. Recently I had a psychic woman tell me I had psychic abilities but that it was through my dreams. Which floored me because I have also had several dreams happen usually the very next day. They've never been of any important nature just everyday events. The experiences I've had with OBE have all taken place while dreaming.
I don't know if you are interested in the specific stories or not but just in case I will tell you of one:
It was about 7 years ago and I lived with my best friend and her little boy, who was about 2. I had a room in the basement of the townhouse and my friend and her son had the two bedrooms upstairs. This particular night, I was sleeping with my friend in her room (nothing going on there haha), I dreamt that I got up and walked to the bedroom door and looked back at the bed. I could see my friend lying there asleep and myself. Looking at myself it was as if someone else was standing there looking at us. Even the clothing I had worn to bed was perfectly clear and exact (if that makes sense). I walked into her son's room, actually, it was more like I was floating just a few inches above the floor. I floated down the steps into the living room and kitchen and everything was exactly as it would be if I was awake. The lights were off and the rooms mostly dark. I floated downstairs to the basement where my room was and remember feeling afraid going downstairs but I forced myself to go. I then came back upstairs went back up to my friends bedroom went up to where I was lying and it was like I was re-entering my body and as I did so I awoke from my sleep gasping for air. It was like I couldn't breathe for a moment or two. I felt very terrified but not because of anything in the dream. The dream was more like I was just checking the apartment making sure everything was ok.
Now my husband is English and we used to live in England. Since the first dream, I've had dreams of being at home with my family. As if I were standing in the room just observing them and likewise when we moved back to the US, I've dreamt of being in England just standing in a room with my husband's mother and sister. It was like I was just seeing what they were up to----like a visit. Thank you for any help.

You did experience OBE. When you OBE again, try some experiment on your own... like floating above the house, look around and see what you see. Try to remember if the weather is affecting you at all. Or go to a next door neighbor's house and see what they have inside the house that you have not seen. Also, try to remember the conditon that you're in prior to OBE, i.e., your feelings and physical attributes. Write all this down and let email us with your findings. This would shed some light in helping others who want to venture into OBE. That's your gift... OBE.
