Experience description:

My first out of body experience happened while I was hanging out with my friend in his garage. He was on his computer creating music while I had been sitting in an office chair beside him. I was extremely bored because there was nothing for me to do. Then it happened, while sitting down I noticed a head falling forward and when I realized that that was my head I immediately snapped awake with my upper body hanging over my thighs in the chair. So basically I came out of the experience as the 'head' I saw falling. I told my friend what had just happened and for the most part finished the rest of my day.

Following the experience, have you had any other events in your life, medications or substances which reproduced any part of the experience?         Yes     March 2011 I had tried mushrooms with ecstasy and ''traveled' to a different place for a long time with in a few seconds. The place I went to seemed unreal but the experience seemed to hold something similar to my out of body experience.

Please offer any suggestions you may have to improve this questionnaire.    I think there should be questions about drug use and personal past like things that might give an idea of what could have led to the out of body experience.
