DreamLord Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 I don't know, but I think I've had an out of body experience. At least that's what it seemed like, and it's happened more than once. I can lie down and I sort of go into a paralysis or something. It's almost like I'm asleep, only I can see everything around me. And if I concentrate it seems as though I can leave my body. I see myself and everything around me, and I can go into the sky and things like that. I know this is going to be met with a lot of sceptiscism, but that's what it seemed like. Odds are there is a scientific explanation to all this, but it is fun to think that we can leave our bodies and fly about to wherever we like. Anybody have any thoughts on this?

LucidDreamer Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 I kinda wish cool stuff like that was possible, but I suspect it was just imagination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamLord Posted August 19, 2004 Author Share Posted August 19, 2004 Hm, I should've seen that one coming I suppose. But there have been scientific studies that have induced out of body experiences. It probably was just a dream that was particularly vivid for whatever reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamLord Posted August 20, 2004 Author Share Posted August 20, 2004 Thanks YT. That seems to be exactly what happened to me. It was right before I fell asleep... I knew there had to be some sort of scientific explanation to it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5614 Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 it is possible that you are a one-in-a-trillion, that your soul can leave your body, but maybe thats a bit extreme. most likely was that it was all a dream. dreams all appear extremely real, they are real [just in your head] but you dont think them of realistic like, as you forget them very quickly, and one of the first things to forget is detail, so when you wake, you dont remember highly detailed images, maybe just the storyline of your dream. it is possible that you remembered one dream, unlike normal, just a one off chance. and you thought this was all amazing, and made this thread. the chances are it was just a dream that you remembered well for one reason or another!

LucidDreamer Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Get a book called Lucid Dreaming by Stephen Laberge. Then you can do it more often Dreamlord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strangely enough there is no satisfactory answer for it that we could find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting aside the interesting philosophical questions that brings up, there is a good method to know whether you are dreaming or not. Try reading something in a dream; it doesn't work. You mind can create almost any visual image but it doesn't create written words very well. So if you are ever wondering whether you are in a dream just pick up a book.
