Hypnagogic hallucinations are always a frightening experience for me. Sometimes it feels like my brain is trying to shut down.

I had a couple experiences when I was a teenager, but none since. I stood over my bed and saw myself lying there, walked/floated around my room. Everything seemed brighter than normal, like the moonlight coming in between my blinds, the green numbers on my alarm clock -- almost blinding...I felt very peaceful (albeit a bit weirded out), didn't want to go "back," but felt an intense pull, and that was that. Very disturbing.

I wake up with sleep paralysis sometimes. When I wake up on my side I always get this niggling feeling that someone or something is quietly spying on me from behind. When I’m struggling to move my body will feel super heavy and it will be very hard for me to focus my eyes. If I can't roll over I start feeling panic. It's like I have to roll over to make sure nothing is really there but I can't because I'm frozen in fear that I might see something spooky. It sounds really silly and irrational, but believe me, it’s almost impossible not to feel afraid when it happens.

I’ve heard you can experience and OBE from sleep paralysis, but I can never get over the urge to immediately break out of it. Sometimes I’ll think I have broken out of it when I really haven’t. I’ll get up and walk around my room and later find out it was all in my head because I’ll suddenly realize my eyes are closed and when I force them open I’ll see that I haven’t really moved. It happens so fluidly that I don’t notice the moment I stop perceiving my actual bedroom and start dreaming it.

Funny thing is that when you enter a dream in this way it looks a whole lot more detailed and accurate than a normal dream so there’s no way to know whether you’re dreaming or awake. I can dream a perfectly accurate rendition of my bedroom viewed from any angle. I’m thinking this is what can cause an out of body experience or astral projection. It’s a dream, but in a higher state of consciousness than normal dreaming. Much more vivid and realistic.

no way. that sh-t freaks me out man, and so does dying. i'll be drugged up on morphine when i pass away i dont want to remember anything!

I had out of body experiences in childhood and a few in my teenage years. My vision would vividly travel to a new location without my body.

Out of body experiencing became more regular in teenage years and became a part of my ritual along with meditation: getting into a state of paralysis and sensing my visual mind leave my body for a long duration: an awake dream.

Then they started happening in the day, when I was with friends, one minute I would be wide awake, then suddenly I would sense my mind leaving my body, so when I returned to my mind I would get really paranoid and self conscious. This may be mind blindness.

I've had various ESP effects. The only OBE happened when I was driving. I came to an abrupt descent, and my consciousness continued straight on until it was about 4 meters above my head. I then watched my body drive down the hill, and apply the brake. As it stopped, I re-entered.

Yes I have while lying on the floor late at night up until the early morning in church... As one does! The Lord showed me around Heaven.

The first I've been was practically a split second.
It was while I was awake, at broad daylight, while crossing a busy street on my way to work.
Then all the sudden, my vision became better than 20/20, seeing myself fallen over the road from more than 20 ft away along the whole half view of the whole block.


The next and few years after that was... At my sleep.

Few times I had false awakenings, plenty had been recent.
There was a time I went to the bathroom without batting the eye over the weirdness of the whole reality.
Few times that I did had an out of body experience, but briefly.
And there's a time I could've sworn everything was dark yet I can also see at the same time, I can feel textures and I was floating.
