Just then, I felt my hand (which was resting on my chest at that time during sleep) slide off naturally, like, due to gravity.  I could feel my hand and the part of my chest it was in contact with, but it was heavy, and kind of rubbery-like. Without even trying, I somehow knew that I couldn't move that hand, or any part of my body for that matter, if I tried. I waited to see what would happen, because I have heard of OBEs, and I thought that this was it. All this time, I was still feeling the vibrations.

Then I felt that I could move about, as in move upwards, its like I knew before I even tried, so I did, well kind of. I tried making myself go upwards (all the time I was in standard sleeping position eg. lying down. It never occurred to me to change positions) I think I did, but I wasn't sure. I was feeling the sensation of moving upwards(?) only, and I didn't see anything, its like I wasn't noting what I was seeing (or not seeing). Then my mom woke me for school and I felt sensation slowly return to my limbs (before that I couldn't move anything).

There's this other time, which was freaky-scary. I was really really tired and it was about three am so I shut off the lights and lay down on the floor to rest, when all off a sudden, I felt the vibrations coming on really strongly. It was so strong that I felt myself ready to 'take off' any moment. (I think I was on the verge of dropping off) I didn't want that to happen and tried to stop it. I tried willing myself NOT to feel the vibrations but that didn't work. So I shut my eyes and clenched my hands and tensed my body really hard and WILLED the sensations to go away. They did eventually and I fell asleep.

There's this other time when I tried inducing those 'vibrations' (ref to qn.4). It was afternoon but the curtains were closed, so it was pretty dark in the room. I was lying down and trying to half fall asleep, you know, get that half awake feeling. I began slowly to feel the vibrating sensation. Then I tried to move upwards. I think i did, and then I tried to rotate around (I was still in the lying down position) because I wanted to see me sleeping. I couldn't because my eyes were shut (same with the experience in qn.4, my ocular organs didn't seem to register anything). So I think I turned around but I didn't see anything.

Did you observe or hear anything regarding people or events during your experience that could be verified later?          No

Did you notice how your 5 senses were working, and if so, how were they different?          Yes

I just felt really really light, like I was floating upwards, like I was filled with helium, and I couldn't float downwards even if I wanted to. Sight ref to ans.12. Smelt nothing. Tasted nothing. (smelling and tasting never occurred to me) Heard humming.

Did you have any sense of altered space or time?   Uncertain

I was like in 'dream space' where I felt nothing physical can touch me, like if someone threw a hammer at 'my' head it would like, I don't know, pass through 'me' or something, but I know definitely it would have no effect on 'me'.

Did you have a sense of knowing, special knowledge, universal order and/or purpose?    No

Did you reach a boundary or limiting physical structure?             Yes

I reached the ceiling (I felt that is, remember I couldn't see much?) and tried to pass through it. I couldn't. In the sense I was like a helium filled balloon. I'm light, floating around, but I'm still not able to pass through 'material' things. But also, somehow, I knew I could, and something, maybe something mentally, was preventing me.

Did you become aware of future events?       Uncertain

Sometimes I would feel, when talking with my friends, or doing something, or seeing a scene on the streets etc, that I have seen/done this while dreaming sometime before. Definitely dreaming, not like deja vu, although its kind of like deja vu.
