I’m 16 years old and have always been fascinated with dreams. There were several phenomena that I had a hard time explaining to myself when I was younger. One of which happened to me quite often. About once a week, before a fell asleep, my body felt like it was twisting/spinning, falling at an immense rate and sometimes it felt like I could feel gravity pulling on me (kind of hard to explain). Then I felt like I was up in the air hovering. I could turn around and see my body lying on my bed. I know now that these were Outer Body Experiences. I am a firm believer of the physical body and the separate astral mind. These still happen to me just not quite as often like once a month. Cording to my friends’ stories that is a lot. Another phenomena that happens to me quite often still is having premonitions. I know this site isn’t connected to premonitions at all but it would be great if someone could better explain them to me. I would dream and remember it. Then at some random time period that dream would display in real life. Whether it was the next day or a couple of months after the dream. I know it wasn’t deja vu because I could remember the dreams vividly. I became interested in lucid dreaming not that long ago. I can remember one time when I know for sure I was in a lucid dream. I have read all the steps and I am stoked to obtain complete lucidity.
One question though, does caffeine affect lucid dreaming or outer body experiences at all? I drink a lot of coffee and I recently noticed I stopped having Outer Body Experiences so often when I started drinking it.
