I'm not certain that I do. I have theorized in jest however, I have attempted Astral Projection/OBE through meditation. My capability was overriden by fear. This was many years ago. There are several unexplained occurances in my sleep. Ok, they aren't unexplainable because the mind is a powerful tool per se. I, occassionally, suffer from sleep paralysis. at the present, time it's closely related to the occurance of seemingly waking up (or believe to have woken up) and "hearing" voices communicating - either to me or to eachother. it's not normally in a language that i understand. i haven't quite figured these occurances out. sometimes, i'm too lazy to dive into them and ride them off as mind tricks but also want to claim them as phenemenons to discover and/or develop an understanding of.

so, if i may once again be so bold to ask...what is your major? what are you studying other than the obviousness of this post? specifics, if you will. this is just a curiosity.

Ahh... my admissions essay was on that very experience! Those "transitory perceptions," that sudden awareness of a conversation taking place right at the edge of sleep, is something more common than you may think...

That transition is called hypnagogic state. I would get deeper into it, but I am running late right now.

hello today! hope you are well. i had an experience last night that may be of slight interest to you. i would be equally interested to get your opinion of it, if you are willing.
