Do you think out of body experiences are real?

Question

in your opinion do your think out of body experiences are real?

i think they are because in my last obe i touched my sleeping body and layed on it then went outside of my house.

Answer 1

I would say that if they occure during sleep then they are more likely to be dreams.Dreams and out of body experience can be very similar.Even if you meditate and have a out of body experience .It is more than likely you have fallen to sleep.A good indication of out of body experience is the sence of falling.They say if your falling in a dream and as soon as you hit the ground you wake up.That still could be a dream

Answer 2

Are you sure you didnt consume any intoxication stuff like drugs??

An out-of-body experience (OBE), is an experience that typically involves a sensation of floating outside of one's body and, in some cases, perceiving one's physical body from a place outside one's body (autoscopy). About one in ten people has reported having an out-of-body experience at some time in their lives. Scientists know little about the phenomenon. OBEs are often part of the near-death experience, and reportedly may also lead to astral projection. It is claimed that those experiencing an OBE sometimes observe details which were unknown to them beforehand.

In some cases the phenomenon appears to occur spontaneously; in others it is associated with a physical or mental trauma, use of psychedelic drugs, or a dream-like state. It is possible to induce the experience deliberately, for example through visualization while in a relaxed, meditative state. Recent (2007) studies have shown that experiences somewhat similar to OBEs can be induced by direct brain stimulation. Relatively little is known for sure about OBEs. Some of those who experience OBEs may have willed themselves out of their bodies, while others found themselves being pulled from their bodies (usually preceded by a feeling of paralysis). In other accounts, the feeling of being outside the body was suddenly realized after the fact, and the experiencers saw their own bodies almost by accident.

Answer 3

yea i think so

my friend told me that theres this point where it can only happen .. its like if ur conscious enough to realize.. but its right before u fall asleep and if ur aware that ur about to, then you have the opportunity to have that experience.  she said shes done it a couple of times.  good luck with that!

Answer 4

OBE does happen more than people realize, and they can feel a bit different every time. Usually you are very aware of what's going on. I traveled once and met a spirit friend; I projected and floated around the room another time; and another time I had a fight with a bad spirit at the foot of my bed, he came around other times when I were awake, so I know it really happened, he never came back after that.

Yes they are real.

Answer 5

Yes they are real, there is even a cult that caters to this.  But here is one thing you need to consider.  When doing this you leave your soul open to be played with by forces you have no control over.  And here is something else that is a fact.  There have been cases of people not being able to get back into their bodies, at least when they wanted to.

In the Bible the Apostle John of the Island of Patmos had what appears to be one of these experiences but it was Holy Spirit induced not produce by himself going into some sort of trance.  This is where he received the Book of Revelation.

Answer 6

Yea, they are called "wet dreams"

Answer 7

I think they're real but I've mostly only heard about them when people are dying or when they're having an operation.

I've never experienced one myself but I do think they're real. I believe it is a person's soul.

Answer 8

Yes I do believe in them.

And ROFL at the last post.

Answer 9

Answer 11

They are not real.They are dreams.The people telling you they are.Well,they're full of donkey dust.What's more ,you know it and so do they.

Answer 12

whoa thats creepy!! are you sure you weren't dreaming??

Answer 13

I think they are hallucinations, and the rest of the time just dreams.

Answer 14

Yep, sure. However, most people refer to them simply as dreams. Usually these dreams are most vivid during REM sleep and can seem very real to the person experiencing them. Sorry to burst your bubble.

See now this is the trouble with reality, it often very boring. However, it is also often said that reality can indeed be stranger than fiction
