Experience description:

I would leave my body just prior to sleep could walk around or even fly around the room or walk through a wall.  The other side was somewhere else than what should be there in the real world.  Once I came through into a garden with other people.  It was very beautiful.  Months later I came to this garden in the real world.  Other times I could travel just by thinking of being some place.  I have also gone through the tunnel which was rather rough, as I came back into body with so much force that I was knocked out of bed.  I am usually aware that I am having out of body exp. and try to control what happens or i go exploring. Sometimes this is scary, sometimes very compelling.
