Experience description:

I grew up in Connecticut. The very first time I had a trip was when I was 9, maybe a little older . It was late at night and I was sleeping in bed, I woke up and put my arms out in front of me and I felt the ceiling with my hands ( I know it was the ceiling because the paint was that bumpy type, not smooth ). I also felt what was inside of the wall, I felt the insulation and the wood. I was so afraid I never opened my eyes the whole time.

Since then I have found myself in all kinds of places. I got used to it and it basically became natural to me. In the beginning I had a hard time getting back inside, but I learned a trick, all I would do is just think myself back in and at the same time lift my arm. I haven't really figured out where I go on these trips, but it doesn't seem to be from this time. The places are normal looking, houses, people, roads, etc. But sometimes as I am traveling a person, or persons would see me. Every time, and I mean every time someone sees me they become fascinated.

I remember cruising through this field, I came across this man in coveralls working (some kind of farmer guy )  I circled around him a few times until I caught his attention. I said "Hi" and for some reason which I regret I also said to him " You realize your dead, don't you?  I wish I hadn't of said that to him. It annoyed him and he told me to go away, so I said bye to him and left.

Whenever I meet people I always write down what they were wearing, the names, the date, anything I can remember. I came across these two women once, they saw me before I saw them and one of them said " Don't scare him away "  I said hi to them and asked them if they knew what the date was, and the name of the place where I was. They just stood there and looked at me smiling. I don't have my records with me( left them at my parents house in CT) so I don't remember what they said.

The last few years I have decided to stop taking as many of these trips, if I wake up outside of my body sometimes I just decide not to go anywhere. Also a tip for some of you, get one of those digital clocks and put it by your bed, that way when you find yourself outside your body, look at the clock and see how much time passes. I have been gone what seems like forever, and I mean forever, just to come back and see only a few minutes have past, and sometimes the clock is still at the same time.
