Then I don't know how, but my vision was like the space.  Many many many stars of different sizes.  But the vision was more than a vision, it was a feeling of space.  I remember saying to myself: Wow.  And as I was observing the scene within myself, my "eyes" focused on one spot darker than the background's color.  A very dark spot.  Then, as if I wanted to "go" to that spot, I went... the spot quickly got bigger and then I felt like going down a drain really fast... You know how you feel in the rollercoaster as it is going down the highest peak... well that feeling...  and then I was drained into somewhere... then 'pop'  I was beside the bed where I was laying... Very surprised, I didn't 'move' at first. 

2 very strange things. 1.  I could not see my body neither on the bed or .. well whatever I was seeing from.  2. EVERYTHING was gray. .Well maybe black and white.. but no colors... I thought that was because it was my first time out of my body and I needed a bit of time to be set on the real colors.. As if I was reborn and blind at first like the baby wolves...  So still very amazed by the situation, the only thing I recall saying to myself was: Wow..   So then I turned my head to the left, slowly, very slowing ... I was scared of going back to my original spot.  Then, I turned my head slowly to the right..   I didn't know what to do!  What are you suppose to do??  I was thinking:" euh... do I go out the door? or...  hmmm  I thought: " maybe I'm better off going back to my body or else ... I don't know..  (feeling of fear... mild fear though).. 

As I thought that, that very instant, I was like pulled very quickly back to my body... and I opened my eyes and I started looking around..   Very very strange but very very conscious; no drugs, no dreaming, I was in control and I knew I could go anywhere, but I was scared and drawn back..    I didn't try again on the same day.. I waited the day after! I wanted to see more! but.. it was just not working anymore..  dunno... maybe time has to do with it.. maybe there are fixed openings or something.. is there any scientific tests that can be made on these kinds of out of body experiences??? ... hmm

Please offer any suggestions you may have to improve this questionnaire.    Almost all the people tell the story as they are ALREADY out of their bodies... They do not explicit on the process of the extirpation of the "whatever you call it" (soul) out of the body.  It would be nice to know how they got from point A (in) to point B (out) and not what they did..  A way to measure the exit of the "you" out of the body has to be found.  Scientific data has to be collected, by regrouping all the similar information of the respondents, but on things we can measure.  Things done after the soul comes out is a very personal and non-generalize able factor.  However the way the body comes out of the body has to be the common denominator for all humans.  In eastern cultures, there is a specific point from which the soul is suppose to come out.  Hindus have chakras, Chinese, Korean and Japanese have the Chi (Qi, Ki) .. whatever you call it, there are common factors.  An experiment is very personal but the process has to be the same for everyone.  Some people say that it's by simulating death, acquired during meditation, that their soul is able to leave their material bodies.  Temperature, Length in time, Heart beat for example (before and after), other measurable variables have to be collected.   I hope this will help your research.
