EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION 3403:

After several weeks of trying to have another OBE, I awoke about 1am, which is quite common. I then try and reach a meditative state to have an OBE. A lot of time unsuccessfully. This time about 2.30am I felt myself falling into this state and I know that because my body started to vibrate. I felt totally at ease and relaxed and let the experience take over me. I then felt myself leaving my body, seeing myself on the bed as I exited out of my home. This time was different as I felt totally in control. I went on several visits across the UK looking at different buildings and landscape and then onto a train station. I could see the name of the station but couldn't quite make it out. It began with "S" and was 4/5 letters to long. Victorian looking building so would have been quite rural. I then went onto what I think was a farmyard when I encountered another person, a male, and usually people don't see that I am there however this person noticed that I was there and they were not happy. Is this possible that you can meet someone else during this experience? I don't really know. However they became threatening and started chasing me away following me for some time before retreating. I guess it was quite unnerving as I have not read about this being able to happen. I then travelled to another town and came across a female. We noticed each other and she approached me and gripped my shoulder. I could feel the touch as if it was actually happening. I assume that it was so I reached out and touched her hand to make sure and sure enough it was real. I didn't know what to think so quickly took off and went upon my journey exploring other locations. The whole experience seemed to last for about an hour or so at which point I felt exhausted and the I returned to my body watching myself slowly descend back into myself as I lay in my bed.

Experience description 3402:

I had been investigating lucid and remote viewing for about a year. I listened to a particular person to help me achieve this. I had tried but had issues focusing. This particular event I had been conversing with someone I had not yet met for a month or so. We both felt there was a connection between us. It was about 2am on a Sunday morning and I was listening to a live transmission which ended with a meditation session. During the meditation I became really relaxed and as I was in deep meditation I asked myself where this person was right now. I knew the area that they lived but not the location. I suddenly felt my whole body vibrate a lot, didn't know what it meant, then suddenly I felt myself leave my body (just as I had researched) and then travelled at speed leaving a trail of light brightness behind me. I came to a field and slowed down, weaving between the grass or grain that may have been growing. Then I came upon two trees and as I went above them I looked down on some terraced housing with a garage to the right hand side. I truly didn't know what it meant. I then returned to my body. The next day I explained what had happened to my friend and I described what I had saw. I then drew a picture and sent it to them. To my absolute amazement they sent me some pictures of their home and surroundings was exactly as I had drawn! I was flabbergasted and amazed all at the same time! That was my very first, well not first but most visual experience, that I experienced since I started to explore this field.
