I had an OBE two nights ago on the 11th of february, well it was the 12th as i went to bed at 6:55 am and it was a very strange OBE. It’s a bit of a long read but really worth it as it’s quite unusual. It’s my second OBE ever, but all my OBE’s seem to come from within a dream.
Okay firstly i am dreaming of lying under beds that are very low and feeling a little trapped. I won’t go into every dream only exactly what happens as i remember it before the OBE. At one point i am under a tank inside some building, then i get out and i am moving on a van which is black. I think it had some red stripes, it reminded me of the A team van, you know that TV series. Ok suddenly i am on standing and looking down on my feet and i seem to be on a bridge, it’s not exactly a bridge, it’s like a half bridge, one that has no end like if i was to keep walking i would end up falling into the water. This bridge creeks, the bridge is about 10 metres tall, standing above water and at the edge before the plumment is Arnold Schwarznegger he looks like the terminator, but here is really big, very wide and as tall as 10-15 feet. I start walking and then i see that the planks of wood on this bridge seem to be missing by a few pieces every metre as i walk. Then i am suddenly back on the car and moving quite quicly, i made it accross the planks and we were goining to hit this tall Arny but we didn’t care. I say ‘we’ as i don’t know who was driving the van, it did feel as my mind was driving it, but i am not exactly sure.
Anyway suddenly i am lying on my back on top of this van and arny is picking the van up, i can see he is made of a little metal as the metal is bursting through his veins. Then the van seemd to be lifting, i am not sure at this point during the dream, oh by the way this is a dream and not a lucid dream. So during the dream i was not sure if Arny was lifting me or if the van has tipped on the edge of the bridge like a see saw and perhaps i was nearly going to pluppet to the water. Maybe the sensation was that i felt like i was being lifted, because perhaps really the back of the van was going up as the front of the van was going down over the edge, which you know is exactly what would happen in real life.
Anyway the strange thing is no man in this world is 10-15 metres tall and at that point i should of seen an anomaly and questioned myself if this is possible and then had a lucid dream. But i get a lot of dreams like that but i never become lucid. I usually become lucid from realising by just saying i am dreaming for no apparent reason. But i have read on here a lot that when you see an anomaly like going to an exam in your dream you usually become lucid, because just before within in a dream you question your self that i have done all my exams and i am not in school so i must be dreaming, and then you LD but you see that never happens to me like that.
Anwyay so the car is tilting like a see saw i get a feel of vertigo and i am trying to lift myself in the dream and i am on the van pushing my arms and legs downwards into the top of the van and then i say to myself ‘the bridge method’ ‘this will become a great method for getting out’ as i got up in the next day thats how i remember it, i feel the words were a little different to that.
Anyway at that point i am brought to my physical body here in the real world, now it was defintely my room but it was becoming an OBE from within a dream, i was laying out there on my bed and there was alot of pulling and while this was happening i was viewing my world differently, the experience was not as real as my last OBE, it was more blurry but i felt the seperation much more realistic than my first OBE.
Anyway i am not out yet, during the seperation i seemed to get back into that dream state of being on top of the van and then i am back again in my body and then again my mind goes to another room in my house. My grandma is sleeping in the guest bedroom instead of her normal bedroom, the house was in the same state. I saw somebody else in another room, my house was not reversed, like in other dreams. In some of my dreams my house is in the normal orientation and in others it is reversed.
Anyway then i am back in my body again, but i believe i never left the body until this next bit, this was when i came out, i started repeating all these mantras then i am turning my body, by rolling over on my side to my left toward the wall which my bed is next to. I start thinking what i have read on the internet, i try to roll out. I roll but knock into the wall and i move but my physical body also moved. I don’t know if this was my real physical or if this was another body of mine within the dream.
Anyway you know i say anyway a lot, anyway then i turn to the other side of my bed which falls straight out ontp the ground and i think hard and push myself out of my body and i roll over the edge but i don’t seem to be out, it was like my thought was very real but i never actually got out. It seemed to be my imagination. So i am back on my back again lying there looking up, the colours of the room are hazy blue and there is black and white haze around me, it’s hard to desribe. I then start thinking of the bridge method and i am pulling my self again and then i am now coming out of the body, i then flip out and i could feel the tension in my stomach and a sort of feeling like moving in a custard feeling. Then suddnely i was floating above my body about half metre above, i looked down at the edge of my bed still floating only on my back but i could not see my body yet. I floated higher, but during this whole experience i am not fully aware, it felt like i was half aware to get out, but then something else in my mind takes over and controls me to go to places. I suddenly turned to the right and floated back down and landed on my carpet which is blue in real life and in the OBE world. My room looked indentical as always. But then i turned to see my body but knew i shouldn’t look for too long as i may go back into it. But it was dark and hazy and i could not see my body.
Anyway i suddenly say to myself, ‘i want to fly throught the carpet’ and i shot down like a speeding bullet through my carpet and as i went through i heard a sound like in the superman movies of wind gushing past you and like a loud whistle sound and as i went through instead of seeing my floor below i instead saw all this fog and clouds and like a city down below and that i was very high up in the sky. It must of been the astral plane then i came suddnely flying back and jumped straight into my body and i think that’s when i went into a normal dream or i was trying to seperate again but i couldn’t and i went into some normal dreams, then later i awoke.
That night before i went to bed, i had done some exercies, i was very tired and a little sweaty, i couldn’t be bothered with changing all my clothes andi kept my same boxer shorts on and fell to sleep after about 45 mins. I had no intention of having any expeicneces but this OBE happend. I also had not had any sleep for about 18 hours which may of explained this, but in the past i have had no sleep for 18 hours and have not had this sort of expeirence. But as i awoke i told my brother about the expreince but didn’t go into this much detail. Could it be that because i was so blown away by the experience that my mind may of been making a lot of this up, as i had this experience 2 nights ago and between now and then, the mind has had time to play with the imagination, i hope not because it seems to have happend exaclty in the way i explanied, maybe just some wording may of been mistaken. But is this a real OBE, it felt like one. The night before i had been reading alot of posts here especially the thread on ‘can you lucid dream if you smoke marijuana’ as during the dream i saw myself with all this marijuna gear and i was thinking to myself should i smoke as i i don’t smoke anymore in real life or drink alcholol and then i don’t know wha happend, the gear was on my kitchen worktop and i had drifted into another dream and this was before the OBE. I feel that some of those instances where i was viewing my parts of my house during the seperation may of happend after i had the OBE rather than inbetween, maybe my mind is creating something that didn’t happen exactly as planned. Because it is quite difficult for me, as i don’t keep a dream journal as i find it a bit of a pain, i only record my LD and OBE. As i seem to remember bits and bits from a dream from each night, as i don’t seem to awaken for dream to dream as i find all my dreams happen in deep sleep, because my parents shout to wake me up and i never hear them, i sleep through all the calling. My dreams stay with me everyday especially the dreams i have just before i wake up, i recall them very well. Only in so much detail when i come to write about them like right now.
What’s your view on all this, was it a real OBE from within a
dream, i believe so. Could it of also happend because of a moon faze, does anybody know what the moon was for that night 2 nights ago? I live in the united Kingdom.
