Out-Of-Body Experience Signposts

OBEs are very common, and often dismissed as being a vivid dream. Most people don’t even give the event a second thought. Having a recollection of strange static-like or buzzing sounds, vibrations, sleep paralysis, and feelings of floating or flying upon waking, very well could have been signs that an Out-Of-Body Experience took place.

The most commonly reported events occurring before, during, and after OBEs:

Before Separation From The Physical Body –

Complete relaxation, detached awareness from physical body, sleep paralysis, feeling of vibrations (these can be mild to very strong), feelings of falling or spinning, and Rapid Eye Movements (REM) while consciously awake.

When I try to induce an OBE, I can bring myself into this state very easily. I relax every muscle in my body, and the vibrations and falling feelings seem to happen on their own. For the spontaneously occurring OBEs, I do not usually remember this stage.

At Separation From Physical Body –

Feeling as though being lifted up, loud static-like and intermittent sounds - This is when OBE is usually imminent, though it can be easily reversed at this point, usually by fear of what is about to happen, or excitement, resulting in a loss of relaxation.

After Separation From Physical Body –

Blurred visions of physical surroundings at first, ability to move by thought and with fluid motion, seeing a silver shimmering cord attached to your body, witnessing the physical body from a different perspective, seeing other people go about their business and apparently having no idea that you are there.

My vision during an OBE sometimes looks as if I am under water. I turn my head to look around, and things kind of look slow motion.

Upon Return To The Physical Body –

Feeling of being ‘slammed’ into bed and hearing a loud static-like, intermittent sounds

I have had the feeling of being slammed back into my bed many times! It reminds me of two very strong magnets snapping together.

Upon Full Waking –

Recollection of images that seem too vivid to be a dream, memories of physical places that you’ve never been to and strong feelings of being somewhere, or interacting with a person that you know you had no physical interaction with. You may also remember some or all of the signposts above. Some of those dreams where you commented on how real they seemed to be may have been out-of-body experiences.
