Dulce L's Experiences

Experience description:
I was giving birth to
my first child and I was about 7-8 centimeters dilated. I had a spinal block
and Darvocet but it was obvious to me that I was going to do this alone. This is
hard to explain how the "me" that I know can be in two places at one time. How
my body can be in one place and "who I am as a person" can be in another place.
It is hard to explain how I could look down on my body without (1) recognizing
it as mine and (2) not immediately questioning why I was up on the ceiling. It
is difficult to explain how as soon as I asked "what the heck am I doing up
here" I immediately sensed a presence or a something I cannot explain above to
my right and as I turned to look, I was immediately back in my body experiencing
pain. It was only after when I had a chance to reflect that I realized that
whatever was to my upper right, I would have followed unquestionably and I
believe it is the reason why I was not "allowed" to see. I also realized that
as I was returning to my body, I was not doing so for myself but for the child
that had to be born.
All of this happened
within seconds, milliseconds, a measurement of time that does not exist in the
natural world. What you see and what you think and what you feel is what I
would equate with what the speed of light must be like while at the same time in
suspended in time. ( I realize this does not make sense as it should not
because it does not adhere to our KNOWN law of physics.) The visual picture of
what was taking place below me stood still in time, almost in suspension but my
thoughts and my feelings and whatever actions took place where in another place
and time. In my second OBE, I had gone to the movies with my husband and felt
extremely uncomfortable in the theatre as if someone was watching me. I was
uneasy, turned around often, scanned the theatre for familiar faces or some clue
of why I was so uncomfortable. We watched the movie and forgot about the
uncomfortable feelings. In the way home I told my husband how I felt before the
movie began. Nothing more was said.
It was 11pm and my
husband wanted to go to sleep. I was tired but not sleepy. I laid down next to
him, had enough time to think about my day when all of the sudden, I hear a loud
thump! I realize that I had left my body and the thump that I heard was my head
hitting the ceiling. I then proceeded to "fly" around the house at ceiling
level as if I were a fly. The buzzing was deafening! I was terrified not that
I was out of my body but that I was flying to fast, making very sharp turns
within inches of hitting a wall. This went on for some time. I was in two
place at the same time. I was in bed terrified and flying at the same time.
This OBE was different from the first because I never left my body for more than
a split second. I hit the roof and I split in two. One of me went back to bed
with me and the other was frantically flying around the inside of my house. It
would leave the bedroom, make it's rounds (I was seeing and feeling all of
this) and then return to the bedroom and start all over again. On the second or
third attempt I asked it to stop. It did not. I began getting scared because
of the incredible speed I was fling with then suddenly my mind told me that all
I had to do was to separate the me that was laying down to the me that was
flying. I realized I had the body and the flying one did not. I waited until
it returned to the bedroom, made it's round in the bedroom and zoomed out the
door I quickly got up from the bed, my legs were like Jell-O. It took an
enormous amount of energy and effort to make it to the bedroom and shutting the
door thereby not allowing whatever it was not have to the ability to return to
its point of origin. It scared me to death. I wish never t experience this
kind of OBE Every again in my entire life. I do not know where I got the idea
of getting up and closing the door but I can assure you, the idea did not come
from this terrified mind.

you feel during the experience?
