Todd S's Experience
|
Experience description: I couldn't
tell if I was breathing or not, but I continued to float upward. I got very
scared and turned toward my body. The next time I realized is that I was lying
on the floor looking up. I could now feel that I was hot and sweaty and how it
feels after a run. Any
associated medications or substances with the potential to affect the
experience: No Was the
experience difficult to express in words?
No At the
time of the experience, was there an associated life threatening event?
No What was
your level of consciousness and alertness during the experience?
I don't feel like I lost consciousness but this was very different. It is
vividly ingrained in my memory as though it occurred yesterday, yet it happened
over twenty years ago. The feeling that I had was of total relaxation and
comfort. Was the
experience dream like in any way?
No, I dream quite a bit and my dreams do not have that amount of detail or
feeling. Did you
experience a separation of consciousness from your body?

My Father, a Physician, said you probably had an out of body experience which
surprised me because he is a man driven by science. My wife
was frightened by this experience and told me not to do it again, but I had no
control over it. What
emotions did you experience following your experience?
Excitement mostly but a little fear, fear of playing with the unknown. What was
the best and worst part of your experience?
BEST - The comfortable feeling. WORST -
Fear that I couldn't get back. Please
offer any suggestions you have to improve the www.nderf.org questionnaire?
I would like to learn more about OBE and try it again.
I had just come in from running. I laid down on the living room floor and just
relaxed. Then I felt as though I was floating. I was was a very
comfortable feeling. As I floated more I began to realize that I was floating
upward. So I turned around and saw my Body laying on the floor below me. I could
see my furniture, the color of the rug in fact many details but in a cloudy,
ethereal sort of way and from a totally different perspective, one from above.
The fact that I was still sweating and could see the sweat startled me.
